You had the opportunity to watch the LG Optimus video above. If you didn't watch the whole video, no worries. I don't like listening to all the nitty gritty technical jargon myself. Sure all the tech specs sound good and all but will it do the basics for me? That's all i care for now.
From my first look at this smartphone it is a larger size than my iphone and thinner. It feels very sturdy and nice. One of the features that caught my attention is the ability to take self pics without having to press a button. Just say "cheese" and it actually initiates the camera shot. Cool right? I wish the iphone had this option.
A feature I like is the "Quick Memo" option (See: red mark scribble in above photo). It let's you write with your finger like a stylus pen anywhere on the screen. You can save that note and transfer to email or text message etc. This is a very convenient option for someone on the go.
This phone has High Definition playback, you can pinch and squeeze to resize a video in playback just like you can on an iphone with photos. The iphone cannot do this yet. I'm not sure if this is a beneficially feature or useful. What do you think?
Another cool feature is the NFC capabilities. Now this attracts my attention. This makes the phone more than just a phone now. It enables you to activate certain features on your phone by just hovering your phone and pre-progamming it with the NFC chip that is supplied with the phone. This extends the functionality of the phone.
Overall it looks like a nice phone. Battery life is like a day and a half. The talk time is about 10-15hrs. Would I get this phone? Maybe! I'm slowly seeing features in Android that are making me think twice now. If you need more info check it out at www.lg.com
