Comparisons Featuring LG Optimus Z
Short Review
- The LG Optimus Z features a compact design with dimensions of 117.9 x 56.9 x 11 mm and a weight of 135g, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 3.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 640 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 229 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon S1 chipset with a 1.0 GHz Scorpion CPU and Adreno 200 GPU, but it has no RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, while there is no front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 1350 mAh, with no fast charging or wireless charging options available.
- Running on Android 2.1 (Eclair) and upgradable to 2.2 (Froyo), the software experience is basic by modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth 2.1, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in black, white, and pink colors, but lacks water resistance.
- Overall, the LG Optimus Z is a straightforward device with essential features suited for basic use.
