Guest hecatae Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 On the 12th February, we brought you this leak. On the 19th February, LG has announced the Vu! The Vu has a 5 inch screen, 8 megapixel camera, 1.3 mega pixel front camera and a 1024x768 resolution 4:3 aspect ratio display(!) The screen, while lower resolution than the 1280x800 Super AMOLED item on the Galaxy Note, has a display brightness of 650 nits, and is IPS. IPS stands for In-Plane Switching, its name comes from the main difference from TN (Twisted Nematic) displays, that the crystal molecules move parallel to the panel plane instead of perpendicular to it. This change reduces the amount of light scattering in the matrix, which gives IPS its characteristic wide viewing angles and good color reproduction. Other important specifications are: 8.5mm thick 168g in weight2080 mAh battery It has a 32gb eMMC, which is an embedded storage solution, it may not be upgradable or removable, and there is no mention of an additional memory card slot. It will support HDMI and DLNA, and the CPU is a 1.5ghz dual core Qualcomm processor. Lastly, it is running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but LG have promised within 3 months of release (not sure if those are actual months or 'LG months', an Android 4.0 ICS update will be available. Are any of you guys interested in this? Will you be replacing your Dell Streak with one of these, or considering the Galaxy Note?
