We already know LG’s plans of rolling out 20 smartphones in 2010 and we can see the Korean manufacturer working really hard to achieve the goal. As it continue the journey towards attaining its set targets, the company has just announced a new smartphone, the LG GD880.
Touting its as the smallest and the thinnest smartphone ever, the ‘LG Mini’, comes with a 3.2-inch touchscreen and a 5-megapixel camera without flash but with face detection. The device also supports 7.2 Mbps HSDPA and the connectivity options include WiFi, A-GPS and Bluetooth. The 99 grams of smartphone is only 48mm wide by 11mm deep and stands at 102mm tall. A Social Network Connect tool , secondary front camera and microSD card are also on the list of features.
The real deal or more precisely a major drawback is the company’s decision to ship the device with its S-Class OS. This is a rather upsetting surprise as Android power phones are actually taking onto the market quite swiftly and lucratively. But LG has something else to say.
“We developed the LG Mini in response to specific requests from actual consumers who were unhappy with current full touchscreen phones that are too bulky, too clunky and too expensive,” said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company.
The LG GD880 Mini will arrive in Europe first next month and we hope it succeeds to entice the LG fans and the others with its slim profile.
