LG is about to launch a new smartphone in the UK, the Android powered Optimus G540.
The handset has a 3 inch touchscreen, a 3 megapixel camera, an FM radio, wi-fi and GPS.
Your jaw is unlikely to drop reading that spec, and indeed the phone is only set to run Android 1.6 rather than the latest version of Google’s OS.
However, the Optimus is more about simplicity, than it is cutting edge technology. LG has designed the G540 to be a user friendly introduction to the world of smartphones.
It comes with social networking built-in, for easy access to Twitter and Facebook, and the phone also boasts a number of integrated Google services.
The on-board camera can record video (but not in HD quality), and the phone also incorporates easy to use video editing software.
Expect the Optimus G540 to arrive at the weekend, although pricing details still haven’t been confirmed.
