Not everyone is looking to impress their neighbor with their choice of smartphone. But for those who are trying to do so cheaply, there is the LG E720 Optimus Chic. This is a real smartphone in the lower realms of quality. Take a closer look at the LG E720 Optimus Chic here in this snappy article. This smartphone is a vague resemblance to an iPhone. The LG E720 Optimus Chic has a rounded shape to it that is easy to get into and out of a pocket. It is also modestly sized. The total height of the Chic is 112.5 millimeters tall and 12.9 millimeters thick. It weighs 132 grams which equals out to 4.24 ounces for readers in the United States. This is a midrange level of smartphone and has a 600 megahertz processor. This is good enough to keep the LG E720 Optimus Chic from having an abundance of lag. The memory is rated at 150 megabytes but this is augmented by a free MicroSD card. It is two gigabytes in size. The Chic can handle a card up to 32 gigabytes in size. The memory gives the phonebook a practically unlimited amount of entries. Call records are also virtually unlimited. The camera is not too shabby on the LG E720 Optimus Chic. It is a five megapixel imager with a few features. There is auto focus and geo tagging but no flash. There is no secondary camera. The video section of the camera is stirring with the ability to take video at thirty frames per second. The main event for the LG E720 Optimus Chic is the android operating system. This is in the latest and fastest 2.2 Froyo version. The number of android apps available has risen to around the 130,000 mark. For the moment they are considered to be cheaper ( as in less expensive ) than iPhone apps. That is changing, though. Android 2.2 has a few new features like tethering and the ability to load apps onto the MicroSD card. This means you can share apps with friends or family now. The LG E720 Optimus Chic is equipped with the ability to send Wi-Fi using the DLNA network. This means you can leave your cables behind, as long as the device you are sending a signal to accepts DLNA. It also has regular Wi-Fi as well. Other wireless networks include bluetooth, HSDPA, EDGE, GPRS and the web browser. Wired connections include a Micro USB cable and the 3.5 millimeter head phone jack. The browser is the fast and accurate Webkit model. It is used in other popular smartphones as well. What colors can you get the LG E720 Optimus Chic in ? Just two. It comes in black or white. The battery is an average size for a smartphone like this so talk times are nothing to brag about. Many social touches are apparent, like facebook and twitter. For some reason LG did not include Java, so most all games are out. Look for the price to be announced soon, along with its sister smartphone, the Optimus One. Look for the release in November of this year. | |
