LG Optimus Vu Review

Dual Core (F100L)     See other variants reviews Score: 62.5 / 100

LG Optimus Vu is a high-end cellphone released in February 2012, with a good size 5 inches multi-touch display, a fast 1500 MHz Dual-Core CPU, and 2 cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front facing camera. We will get a better understanding of this cellphone's specs when we get into more details.

LG decided to equip this phone using a powerful Dual-Core processor speeding at 1.5 gigahertz, included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 system chip with 1 GB of RAM. A good point of this cellphone is its 32 GB large internal memory and although it doesn't have an external SD slot, it it is more than enough to store hundreds of applications and even the heaviest games available nowadays without having to worry about running out of space.

This cellphone is incredibly thin and practical, with a thickness of just 0.33 inches. The LG Optimus Vu feels much lighter than what one would expect from a cellphone this size.

This phone features two cameras, an 8 megapixels back facing camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front camera. It is also able to capture Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 30 frames per second. The camera also includes a couple of good features: auto-focus, flash and geo tagging.

LG equipped this phone with a very good 5 inches display, and a 1024 x 768 resolution, which makes all photos and videos look vivid. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

This cellphone offers wi-fi capability (although it can't provide it to other devices around, acting as a modem or router), 4G (LTE) high performance internet connection and the fastest 3G connectivity, using HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a Micro SIM card for GSM connection.

This phone also comes with a great numbre of useful characteristics as NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (allows communication with other devices, computers and accessories), GPS and Digital TV, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The LG Optimus Vu comes with an incredible 2080 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery that can keep it running for many hours, although you may find yourself looking for a place to charge it after some heavy use. This cellphone has an estimated stand by time of 510 hours and a talk time of 16.5 hours according to LG.

This phone is being sold for around 150 dollars, quite a high price for comparing with other similar phones. No matter if you are an amateur photographer, are looking for a cellphone for work, are looking for a social phone or are looking for a cellphone for playing games, you will probably love this phone.
