LG is showing some love to its home turf. The new LG Optimus Big will debut in Korea tomorrow and with it comes a feature set to rival the best HTC and Samsung have to offer. Without dishing all the dirt, let’s just say there’s something for everyone to love in the Optimus Big.
Let’s run down the highlights. The LG Optimus Big ships with Android 2.2 with a Gingerbread update to follow soon. The highlight of the device is a 4.3-inch NOVA display, able to show 700 nits of brightness while also reducing power consumption by 50 percent during indoor use compare to a conventional LCD. In the world of Android, battery life is key, and NOVA display combined with a 1500 mAh battery should outperform competing models .
Tucked beneath the super sexy display is a 1 GHz dual-core CPU, almost standard in today’s Android flagship smartphones. On the back of the phone is a 5-megapixel camera to pair nicely with a front-facing camera, both of which recording high quality video. To store all your files there’s 16GB of internal storage. Bluetooth 3.0, WiFi Direct and a HDMI port wrap up the features.
The LG Optimus Big will be available in Korea starting April 28. For now, no other countries have been confirmed for launch so we’ll just have to sit tight and enjoy the photos for now.
