The LG Optimus Black is a smartphone that runs on Android version 2.2. LG decided not to put a dual-core processor in this model, unlike their other recent smartphones, but this LG Optimus Black review will show that it is more than powerful enough for most people’s needs.
It is a slim phone, measuring just 9.2mm and light as well. It is a stylish phone, with a black matt look, though quite similar to the iPhone design. It has a 4-inch screen utilising the NOVA technology for its display. This provides a very bright display, making it more readable outside in sunny conditions. It has a reasonable resolution compared to its competitors, coming in at 480 * 800 pixels. The NOVA tech is the main selling point for this phone, with better natural colours and a power saving of nearly a half over traditional LCD screens.
The interface is another area where the phone stands out from the crowd. If you press the ‘gesture’ button while shaking the device, it accepts all incoming calls. Tapping the side of the phone also moves the text cursor, while flipping it over will stop all sounds.
Like several current phones, it has two cameras. The front camera is used during a video call while the one on the back takes great photos. It has five megapixels, autofocus and a flash. Due to its impressive technology, the phone can last for two days before recharging, so it is well worth finding some good LG Optimus Black deals.
