Here comes a mobile that breaks the mold of standard 16:9 screen format and sports a IPS display with 4:3 aspect ratio. 

LG today released a teaser of their upcoming mobile Optimus Vu in Korea. The teaser follows somewhat the same strategy of “hide-some-reveal-some” details as was done by HP when they released the teaser of Spectre.

The phone is believed to pack a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm WPQ8060 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal memory. The massive 5-inch display has a 1024×768 resolution, and since it houses a 4:3 aspect ratio the display on the Optimus Vu will actually have a higher surface area than other mobiles in the same screen display category (Remember Samsung Note!). The primary camera is an estimated 8MP.

As of now, there is still no confirmation whether the device will be released internationally or only in Korea.

Will keep you posted!

What it looks to be a perfectly banal phone, considering the top-end phones that have been launched by the major brands, this phone deserves a special mention here by being the first world triple-SIM phone.

LG is going to launch their A290 model on the Russian market in the next month and promises to take some of the dual-SIM market share that is now owned essential by Nokia. Their strategy seems to be clear by offering the possibility of having not 2 but 3 different numbers on the same phone.

Apart from the triple-SIM, the remaining features of this phone are quite basic with 2.2″ display, 1.3 Mpixels camera and an 1500 mAh battery.

Here some more photos of this phone.

The guys at the Android Central had the chance to get their hands on the new Android phone by LG, the LG Prada.  This phone features an 1Ghz processor, a 4.3″ display, 1 Gb RAM and comes with Android 2.3.7 version which is kind of a disappointment even if it will probably be updated later to Android 4.0. Even so, this phone does look great with only 8.5mm thick and comes with some unique tweaks on his UI.  Check it all on the video after the break.
