LG Optimus Vu Available in Singapore from Q4 2012

LG unveils the Optimus Vu.

Powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, the Optimus Vu offers a combination of tablet-like viewing with smartphone portability. Equipped with LG's advanced LTE and IPS display technology, it features a 5-inch display with bright 4:3 aspect ratio and has built-in QuickClip hotkey which allows users to conveniently capture screenshots and memos in a single push. On top of this, the pre-loaded Polaris Office allows users to open any document, spreadsheet, or presentation while on the go.

Measuring at 8.5mm thin, the Optimus Vu includes a 32GB internal memory and an 8-megapixel camera. It will initially run on the Android 2.3 Gingerbread platform, but users will get an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade.

The Optimus Vu will be introduced in Korea in March, with a Q4 2012 availability date slated for Singapore. While SingTel is the only service provider with a commercial LTE plan as of now, it was mentioned that LTE devices, ranging from smartphones to tablets, will be available in 2012. The Q4 availability of the LTE-capable Optimus Vu somewhat confirms that news, though it's unclear if the Optimus Vu will support the spectrum used in Singapore.

Additional information on the unique Optimus Vu: can be found at the LG Stand (Hall 8) at MWC 2012 from February 27 to March 1. Do check back regularly, as we will be reporting live from Barcelona, with some early hands-on impressions of the various smartphones announced during the event.
