Comparisons Featuring LG Optimus Vu F100S
Short Review
- The LG Optimus Vu F100S features a unique design with dimensions of 139.6 x 90.4 x 8.5 mm and a weight of 168g, making it relatively bulky for a smartphone.
- Its 5.0-inch HD-IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 768 x 1024 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 256 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM8660 Snapdragon S3 chipset with a dual-core 1.5 GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM, which may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP unit capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the front-facing camera is limited to 1.3 MP.
- Battery life is supported by a 2080mAh capacity, but it lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- The device runs on Android 2.3.5, upgradable to 4.1.2, which may feel outdated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
- The absence of stereo speakers and the presence of a headphone jack are notable features.
- Overall, the LG Optimus Vu F100S presents a mix of strengths and limitations, particularly in its design and performance.
