Sitting alongside the LG Optimus 2X, the LG Optimus Black is a top-end smartphone, slipping in at simply over £400, making an attempt to compete with the Samsung Galaxy S2 and Apple iPhone 4 for the smartphone crown, however with considerably fewer options and fewer processing power than its LG stablemate.
First things initial – the LG Optimus Black is light-weight. Weighing a featherweight 109g, it even reaches a skinny 6mm facet edge curvature, and 9.2mm thickness at its deepest purpose, besting the Apple iPhone 4 by a millimetre. Some could feel the lightness cheapens the feel of this handset somewhat, however our jeans pockets were thankful and it was nice to tote around one thing that didn't weigh us down.
The slightly metallic back cover is smooth, and the phone's few soft keys are well-blended into the chassis, giving it a minimalist aesthetic. we have to say, however, that some of the edges felt alittle too rough, detracting from the feel of the phone.
Yet where it's light-weight and skinny and joyous, it is also somewhat long. This makes the LG Optimus Black alittle uncomfortable for tiny hands to hold it portrait, although curved corners facilitate it sit nicely within the paws in landscape orientation.
Those with larger hands will possible feel it sits within the hands simply fine either approach. But, given the Android UI is intended to be used mainly in portrait mode, those with small hands will notice it tough to use one-handed. Despite its impressive lightness, the length makes it feel a way larger phone than it is
The LG Optimus Black's 4-inch capacitive NOVA display screen is as bright as an AMOLED – reaching up to 700cd/m2 – however with increased battery efficiency, because of "luminance reduction technology". The 480 x 800p display is indeed beautifully bright and clear, perfectly fine indoors or out, even within the most direct sunlight we have a tendency to came upon while testing.
Looking very similar to the LG Optimus 2X, it packs less power, with a 1GHz processor running Android two.2. The Optimus Black boasts the same old Android touchscreen buttons, and the 3 external buttons – a slim volume rocker, power/lock button and the gesture key, part of the LG Gesture UI designed to aid using the phone with one hand (more on that later).
As with most minimalist handsets the ports – micro USB slot and three.5mm headphone jack – sit at one finish, alongside the lock and power button.
At the bottom finish of the LG Optimus Black is an irritatingly small slot for removing the battery cover. sensible luck gap the thing if you are devoid of long fingernails. In fact, even if you have got long claws, prying off the rear cover is a tough task. Once you get beneath the hood, you'll find the SIM holder, microSD slot and, of course, the battery.
This is a sleek handset which packs an impressive 2MP front-facing camera and a 5MP auto-focus-tons-of-toggling-fun camera with LED flash on the rear.
