LG Optimus Vu Review

Quad Core (P895)     See other variants reviews Score: 63.2 / 100

LG Optimus Vu is a great cellphone released many years ago, equipped with a high-tech Quad-Core processing unit speeding at 1500 MHz, a big 5-inches multi touch screen, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and a 1.3 megapixels front facing camera. We will get a better understanding of this phone's advantages when we get into more details.

LG sells this cellphone with a high speed Quad-Core processor ticking at 1.5 gigahertz, packed into the NVIDIA Tegra 3 chip with only 1 GB RAM which is a bit poor comparing with this cellphone's impressive processing power. A great advantage of this phone is its inmense 32 GB internal storage memory and though it doesn't count with an SD extension slot, it is still enough to store hundreds of apps and even the heaviest games available nowadays without having to worry about running out of space.

The LG Optimus Vu is just 0.33 inches thick, taking it to the thinnest cellphone's category. LG has made an excellent design job making this phone weight only 5.93 ounces.

LG equipped the LG Optimus Vu with a good looking 5 inches display, and a resolution of 1024 x 768 , giving this phone a good level image quality. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

The LG Optimus Vu has two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back side camera and a 1.3 megapixels front-facing camera. It is also able to capture videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 frames per second. This cellphone also has a couple of interesting features: flash, geo tagging and auto-focus.

This phone provides wi-fi connectivity (although it can't be shared with other devices as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G high performance connection type and the fastest 3G connectivity, supported by HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a Micro SIM card for GSM networks.

This cellphone also includes a wide range of great features like NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (for communication with other phones and accessories), GPS Navigation and TV Broadcast, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone uses a 2100 mAh great Li-Ion removable battery, which isn't too much for a cellphone like this. LG reports a 15 hours talk time and a 486 hs stand by time for this phone.

This cellphone may not be a good choice considering it costs $ 150, while many similar phones are being sold cheaper than that. No matter if you will use this device to play games, are looking for a social device, want it to take lots of photos or are looking for a phone for work, this cellphone is a great option for you.
