Comparisons Featuring LG Optimus S
Short Review
- The LG Optimus S features a compact design with dimensions of 114 x 59 x 13 mm and a weight of 130 grams, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 3.2-inch TFT display has a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 180 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for detailed visuals.
- Performance is driven by a 600 MHz CPU, supported by 0GB of RAM, which limits multitasking capabilities and overall speed.
- The rear camera offers 3.15 MP with autofocus, but video recording is restricted to 480p, and there is no front-facing camera for selfies.
- The 1500 mAh battery provides basic power without fast charging or wireless capabilities, which may require frequent recharging for heavy users.
- Running on Android 2.2 (Froyo), the software experience is outdated, lacking modern features and updates.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone lacks water resistance and stereo speakers, and it includes a standard headphone jack for audio.
- Overall, the LG Optimus S serves basic communication needs but falls short in performance and modern features.
