Dr. Skott Ahn, LG CEO, just introduced LG's latest Optimus One and Optimus Chic smartphones in an interactive digital press conference held online. The Optimus One is designed to be "your first smartphone", but it should cater for the experienced smartphone user as well.

You've probably already read some bits about Optimus One (LG P500) and Optimus Chic (LG E720). These are the phones that will hopefully bring LG back on the smartphone market map. LG has already hinted of their existence and even provided a couple of photos, but that was pretty much all.

However, as of today, we now have their full tech specs plus some new juicy images.

Both Optimus One and Chic run on the latest Android OS v2.2 Froyo and feature 3.2-inch capacitive HVGA TFT touchscreens, 600 MHz processors and all-round connectivity package – 3G with HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS with A-GPS support and digital compass, 3.5mm audio jack and FM radio. A 2GB microSD card is included on both retail packages.

LG Optimus One sports a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera with VGA@18fps recording. It’s also capable of playing DivX and Xvid videos.

LG Optimus One







LG Optimus Chic on the other side packs 5 megapixel snapper and captures VGA@30fps videos. Unfortunately, according to its official specs Chic is only DivX compatible and we're still yet to see if it will play XviD movies too.

In addition to its piano black version, Optimus Chic will also be released in white color (at least for the battery cover).

Price seems good... RM899!

woah dam cheap and it seems to rival htc wildfire...

This is a great budget phone, cheaper than wildfire but have higher screen resolution, better processor and froyo. This is a catch

Nice phone with nice price...............highly recommend

launched in msia or sg?

both. Malaysia only got it last week, i think.

Optimus One seems to be a good starter phone. I lol'ed at the toilet ad though. LG certainly knows how to do marketing.
