The LG Optimus Vu 2 picks up from where the original Optimus Vu left off, quirky 4:3 screen and all.
Eyebrows were raised when the first Vu was announced last year, but LG has obviously deemed it enough of a success to churn out a new iteration.
Global release dates and availability for the Optimus Vu 2 are currently unknown, but the handset is already on sale in LG’s native Korea for 966, 900 won(around £530/$860) and we’d expect it to hit other markets round the world in the coming months.
You still get a 4:3 aspect ratio display, which clocks in at 5-inches and boasts a 1024x768 XGA resolution.
The odd shape of the screen means the Optimus Vu 2, likes its predecessor is more of a square shape which makes the handset very wide and difficult to hold in one hand.
LG has managed to keep the weight down on the Vu 2 and the frame is quite thin so while your fingers may be struggling to properly wrap round at least your wrist isn’t giving way.
It looks like a premium device thanks to the metallic frame running around its perimeter, but the sturdy chassis of the Optimus Vu 2 is predominantly plastic with no brush aluminium in sight.
To help manipulate the expansive display LG bundles a stylus with the Optimus Vu 2, but there’s no space to slide it into the handset like you can with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 which makes us think it will get lost in a matter of days.
The screen itself is bright and responsive and we had no trouble navigating our way around Android, although we were disappointed to find the LG Optimus Vu 2 was only running Ice Cream Sandwich and not Jelly Bean.
With a 1.5GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM the Vu 2 has plenty of power under the hood and that makes for a smooth user experience and apps which open quickly.
You get 16GB of internal storage in the Optimus Vu 2 and there’s a microSD card slot on hand if you feel the need to expand the memory capabilities.
LG has pre-installed Google Chrome alongside the stock Android browser, and thanks to its 4G connectivity, strong Wi-Fi support and powerful processor we we’re able to nip around the web at a decent pace.
Both desktop and mobile sites looked good on the Optimus Vu 2, and the 4:3 aspect ratio makes viewing full versions of websites easier.
