LG Optimus Sol focuses on battery
life
LG late Sunday confirmed the
Optimus Sol . The Android 2. 3
smartphone emphasizes its outdoor
credentials with what it calls an Ultra
AMOLED display . Somewhat like
Samsung ' s Super AMOLED , the 3. 8-
inch screen is twice as reflective of its
light and is much more visible outside
than usual AMOLED, which tends to
wash out in sunlight.
Encouraging the use outdoors is a
new power control system that LG
estimates gets about 20 to 30 percent
more battery life than its earlier
smartphones when all other factors
are equal. As insurance, the phone
has an uncommonly large 1, 500 mAh
battery .
Inside , the phone is on the less
expensive side of the mid- range and
still uses a single- core, second -
generation 1GHz Snapdragon
processor , 512 MB of RAM, and a rear
five - megapixel camera with autofocus ,
but no flash . LG skins the phone with
its usual interface layer and supplies a
2 GB microSD card to get started .
Europeans get the Optimus Sol first, in
mid- September . Central and South
America get it next. The current
version doesn't support North
American 3G bands, although LG is
known to sometimes adapt its phones
later .
