At first glance, you could easily mistake the Optimus o for a Samsung Galaxy Note II. Both phones have a 5.5-inch display, a physical home button, a rounded rectangular design. Once you get ahold of the phone, though, you quickly realize that this isn’t Samsung’s stylus-equipped “phablet.” How thin is the Optimus o smartphone? This thin. The Optimus o doesn’t feel as sturdy as the Note II didn’t sit as comfortably in my h. ere the Optimus o does excel, however, is in its HD I display, which boasts a pixel density of 400 pixels per inch. Text photos displayed on the phone looked extremely sharp, with vibrant colors that were a real treat for the eyes. The Optimus o ships with Android 4.1 lly Bean, runs on a hefty 1.7GHz quad-core processor. I experienced no lag whatsoever while using the hset, something I can’t really say about most other smartphones I’ve used. Apps opened instantly home screens flew beneath my fingertips. The Optimus o’s 13-megapixel camera took some decent shots, but I really would have liked to test it under better conditions; the booth was too brightly lit, the shiny white tables made lens flare a serious problem. That’s a 13-megapixel camera on the Optimus G, though it was hard to gauge just how good its photos look in the unforgiving lighting at Mobile rld Congress. didn’t give us a U.S. release date or pricing for the Optimus o, so it’ll probably be a while before you see the phone on store shelves in the States.
