The new Optimus Black model from LG is a trend setting phone, with a
high quality screen and super slim chassis combining to offer as near
to perfect smartphone experience as you could wish to encounter. This
model signals LG's attempts to tackle the high end of the market,
rather than the mid range models where they have become firmly
established.On its release, the Apple iPhone 4 became the thinnest
handset available at 9.3mm, and much noise was made about this in the
media. The new Optimus Black manages to shave 0.1mm off this figure to
steal the crown, although there is bound to be much less publicity
about the LG. The depth is not the only area where it impresses. At
just 109 grammes, when you hold the phone in your hand it almost feels
as if it isn't there. A downside to the lack of bulk is that the phone
does feel slightly cheaper with regards to build quality, which is not
true, it is just the impression that the weight gives. Looking at the
phone from the front and it looks neat, but fairly similar to other
Android offerings. A factor in this may be the four capacitive buttons
situated below the screen. The screen measures 4", ensuring that it is
the perfect size for viewing media files and web pages, as well as
making the touchscreen navigation easier. The screen offers a high
level of resolution at 480 x 800 pixels as well as outstanding
contrast ratio thanks to the 16 million colours that it can display.
Local connectivity is achieved via the micro USB port on the top of
the device which allows for easy synchronisation to a laptop or pc.
Bluetooth is also catered for in this model, making linking with
compatible wireless products a quick and simple affair.The camera
facilities on the Optimus set a very good standard. The main camera is
located on the rear of the handset and can capture a high standard of
image thanks to a 5 mega pixel sensor. The camera can also take
advantage of the phones GPS system to automatically geotag
photographs, giving each individual snap a geographical location.
Where this camera is good although fairly average for a high end
phone, the front facing camera stands out from all of the competition
thanks to its 2 million pixel resolution. Although the rear camera
will be used in most circumstances, the front device serves its
purpose well as a self portrait or video calling unit. Moving images
can be filmed on the phone, with the HD 720P resolution that is on
offer matching the high quality found on still shots. The Optimus does
include a micro SD card slot, so whatever your usage needs, you can
rest assured that you can perfectly match the right amount of storage
to your requirements.This new handset from LG teams a great set of
features with an eye catching look and great functionality. The result
is not only one of the best looking phones available, but also one of
the most user friendly.
