Short Review

  • The LG Optimus Chat C550 features a compact design with dimensions of 109 x 59 x 16 mm and a weight of 122g, making it portable.
  • Its 2.8-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 206 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
