LG Optimus SOL Specs and Release Details

The LG Optimus Sol  was officially announced yesterday. It boasts an ‘Ultra AMOLED’ display on a 3.8” screen which claims to improve the image quality outdoors. The 9.8” mm thick Smartphone runs on a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It has 512MB of RAM and 2GB ROM of which 150MB is available for usage. The Quad-band handset runs  Bluetooth 3.0 and features Wi-Fi connectivity as to be expected.

LG are marketing the Sol as the cheapest handset rocking a 1GHz processor in the market.  The other unique feature of this handset are its visibility in the beaming sunshine! (Not that England see’s that much.) It’s been rumoured to offer unrivalled performance in direct sunlight due to its ‘Ultra AMOLED’ screen. It also has a ‘Dark UI’ option enabling the user to reduce the amount of white light emitted. The result of enabling this option can increase the battery life by a whopping 30%! That can mean an extra few hours of usage or an extra hour of gaming if preferred.

The LG Optimus Sol looks to be a winner for style and effective features. It will be released in black, white and titan which is likely to be a graphite-esque shade.  Watch out for this sleek handset, it’s due to enter the market in mid-September.
