LG P970 Optimus Black.
It?s big and it?s black. And really skinny. The obvious conclusion is that LG is going head to head with iPhone with the P970 Optimus Black by eschewing any exterior adornment. LG also clearly decided that it was going to go with one big stick: size counts. The display is BIG and BRIGHT. Instead of the iPhone?s relatively cramped 3.5″, you get a giant 4″ slab of pixelly action. But LG was also building to a lower price-point, so you get 480?800 pixels but only 233 pixels per inch. The iPhone?s 960?640 gives you 326ppi. 233ppi is not bad, but not even quite up to the better HTC and Motorola Droid phones.
So what do you want? Size or resolution? Or useful stuff?
The buyer of the Optimus Black will get the huge display, and lots of built in goodies. The iPhone buyer will get a really nice display, and bugger all else. Not even Facebook and Twitter and image sharing stuff. Until you sign your life away to the App Store. As a gamble on what the average phone shopper will want, LG is probably right on the money.
Like most Android phones, the LG Optimus comes pretty sorted straight out the box ? without having to search for any apps, you can immediately take photos and share them via Picasa or Facebook or Bluetooth or email or whatever. You can sign into popular social media platforms from native apps (beware, beware, do you know where you are signing in to, or is LG?s app gathering your un/pw and signing in on your behalf? Who is storing the login credentials? Who? Who? Oh the horror, the horror, someone think of the children and terrorists).
Big screen, decent snapper
The Optimus is not all big, pretty face ? it also has a pretty good five megapixel snapper (see samples below) that, while as susceptible to flare from bright lights catching the glass window, does a pretty decent job even in high contrast situations. LG makes a bit of a meal of the fact that the front-facing camera is 2MP, but since this is at best used for video calls, that?s creeping marketing wankery, not really a feature. The video quality is really not bad (see samples below) ? autofocus gets it mostly right even in average lighting ? although the slightly underpowered innards mean it does have the occasional freeze.
Talking to others
All the usual connectivity stuff is taken care of ? WiFi, Bluetooth, HSDPA, and the now standard WiFi hotspot function. As per usual, doing anything via Bluetooth requires third party workarounds (it?s now default practice as soon as I get a ?Droid phone to install the (free) Bluetooth File Transfer app). Apple? Google? Can someone address this? Or do you just want us to do everything over an IP connection on WiFi? Even Windows didn?t really want to talk to the LG over BT.
