LG Optimus Black: Life’s Good, Finally!

After having failed to cause any ripples in rivals’ camps so far, LG finally hits the right chord with its Optimus Black smartphone model. Yet the crown is still far, far away.

“Try harder because you’re not the no.1,” this old maxim seems to be the new driving force at South Korean Chaebol, LG, which despite making several attempts has so far struggled hard to find its place in the fast growing global Smartphone market. But LG now stands a good chance to pose some serious challenge to rivals with the sleek and refurbished Optimus Black Smartphone model.

The new LG Optimus Black is undoubtedly LG’s best effort so far in presenting any significant threat to incumbent Apple and compatriot Samsung; does any one care about Nokia at least for as the erstwhile market leader is wrestling with its own internal troubles. The Optimus Black is packed with loads of new features, which makes it irresistible and wins hands down on both external and internal features fronts.

The phone is shielded in black clamshell with edgy curvature as less as 6mm and has a thickness of just 9.2 mm, incidentally beating Apple’s iPhone by a millimeter and weighs just 109 gms.

Coming to the display, the LG Optimus Black features a 4 Inch capacitive NOVA display screen, better than the AMOLED, which is featured in most of the smartphones. The advantage of this screen is that it is less battery hungry than AMOLED, and also scores high on performance, either indoors or outdoors, the pictures are razor sharp bright and clear, even when exposed to direct sunlight, thanks again to its innovative and superior quality screen.

Our focus now shifts to its heart: the mighty 1GHz processor which runs Android 2.2 Froyo operating system, which by now, almost all the android fans would be familiar with, though upgrading to Gingerbread might have been a best option. The phone also features PowerVR SGX 530 graphics, for pumping the adrenaline of gaming lovers. It also supports OpenGL 2.0 and Microsoft Shader Model 3, which makes 2D and 3D gaming ready device. On top of it is the phone’s mighty battery of 1500 mAh that clocks 375 hours of standby time and up to 6 hours of talk time.

It seems for sure, with Optimus Black LG is not only gets 100% battle-ready but will also give tough time to Samsung, which comes with only 1200 mAh for its smartphones.

Finally, with its impressive looks, the LG Optimus Black comes with dual cameras: 2MP front-facing camera plus a 5MP auto-focus-tons-of-toggling-fun camera with LED flash on the back.

So guys wish you a happy smartphoning; a new jargon you might say!
