Largest LG Smartphone to Be Launched Globally Next Month

Published on:

­On the heels of its debut in Korea and Japan, LG Electronics says that its Optimus Vu: will make its global debut starting in select markets in Europe, Asia, Middle East/Africa and Latin America starting in September.

With the world's first 5-inch 4:3 aspect ratio display, the Optimus Vu: blurs the line between traditional tablets and smartphones.

Since its March debut in Korea, the Optimus Vu: has sold over 500,000 units. The company said that the reception the device received in Korea prompted LG to launch the Optimus Vu: in Japan this month, where it has also been received positively by Japanese consumers.

For the global roll-out, the Optimus Vu: will be equipped with NVIDIA Tegra 3 mobile processor, the super 4-PLUS-1 quad-core with 5th battery-saver core. 4 cores are used for high performance tasks such as games and multitasking. For voice call, email, music and video playback, only 5th battery-saver core is enabled and it consumes less power.

The Optimus Vu: will come with an upgraded version of QuickMemo and Notebook.

"The different form factor makes Optimus Vu: unique even in the 5-inch smartphone category which we expect will catch on once they become more widely available," said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company.
