The direct
rival of the Samsung Galaxy Note is set to be released into the US market
sometime in the third quarter. According reports the LG Optimus Vu may be
released into the United States in the coming weeks.
The
five-inch device offering of LG is a combination of a smartphone and a tablet,
similar to the Samsung Galaxy Note. The LG Optimus Vu will also feature 4G LTE
network support and may be offered by a US-based mobile service provider.
Although no
specific mobile service provider was indicated in a press release from the
company, there are indications that Verizon may be the first US-based carrier
to offer the LG Optimus Vu in the United States. The LG Optimus Vu was
initially introduced during the Mobile World Congress last February.
The device
will come with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 32GB internal storage, and
eight-megapixel camera. However the 1024 by 768 resolution and 4:3 ratio of its
screen display will put it at a disadvantage against the Samsung Galaxy Note.
It also
remains uncertain if the LG Optimus Vu will be released into the US market
using the Ice Cream Sandwich Android or the older Gingerbread Android OS.
Verizon may not have an easy time in promoting the upcoming smartphone/tablet
hybrid if it will be released into the market using the Android 2.3 OS instead
of the relatively new Ice Cream Sandwich Android OS.
LG and
Verizon may have its work cut out for them as it tries to make the LG Optimus
Vu competitive in the market particularly with the supposed upcoming release of
the Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
