Short Review

  • The LG Optimus M features a compact design with dimensions of 116 x 56 x 16 mm and a weight of 153g, making it portable but somewhat bulky.
  • Its 3.2-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 180 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
  • Powered by a 600 MHz CPU and 150MB of RAM, performance is limited, suitable for simple applications but not demanding multitasking.
  • The rear camera has a resolution of 3.15 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 480p, but it lacks a front-facing camera.
  • The 1500mAh battery provides basic longevity, though it does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • Running on Android 2.2 (Froyo), the software experience is outdated and lacks modern features.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The phone comes with a standard headphone jack, which is a plus for audio connectivity.
  • Overall, the LG Optimus M is a basic device with limited capabilities, suitable for users with minimal smartphone needs.
  • Special features are minimal, reflecting its entry-level status at the time of release.
