Short Review
- The LG GT540 Optimus features a compact design with dimensions of 109 x 54.5 x 12.7 mm and a weight of 115.5g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 3.0-inch TFT resistive touchscreen offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 192 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a 600 MHz CPU and 139MB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera has a resolution of 3.15 MP with autofocus but lacks optical image stabilization, and video recording is limited to 480p at 17fps.
- The 1500 mAh battery provides basic longevity, but charging is not supported.
- Running on Android 1.6, the software can be upgraded to 2.1, but it lacks modern features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in black, white, and pink colors, but it does not offer water resistance.
- Overall, the LG GT540 Optimus is a basic smartphone with limited specifications suitable for essential tasks.
