When folks think of a smart phone, the last manufacturer they think of is LG; however, LG is slowly becoming a competitor. LG developed the Optimus line of phones to keep up with other manufacturers like Motorola, who are taking advantage of Google's operating system. The LG Optimus One P500 Android handset has been gaining a good deal of attention from the press since it was announced back in mid-2010 and that is great as this Android handset does not have high-end specifications. One of the major reasons this phone is not as high end as others is so they can offer the phone at a cheaper price, making it possible for everyone to be able to afford one.

Positive Aspects

When you look at this phone, you will see that the phone itself looks just like other phones with the Android system. One thing that lots of folks like is the 3.2 inch display, because the display is a little smaller it makes the phone easier to carry around in comparison to the larger phones. When you are going though the phone's applications you will see that the screen is multi touch enabled making it somewhat faster. Not many phones that are within the same price range feature multi touch functions. Likewise, you can play DVD quality movies with the LG Optimus One P500 Android handset. The 170 MB of internal memory may appear like a limitation but the LG Optimus One P500 Android handset has a microSD card slot that supports up to 32 GB of RAM. You will get a 2 GB card when you buy the phone. Combined with the 3.5mm standard audio jack, you can already build up a nice mp3 collection without spending more.

And naturally, the LG Optimus One P500 Android handset features WIFI and Bluetooth which comes with all the LG smart phones. Morever, the built-in GPS is a feature of this Android phone from LG that many users love. Furthermore, with the integrate accelerometer, shifting the view from portrait to landscape and back again is extremely simple. In addition, this LG Android phone comes with the ever popular 3G technology. One thing that a lot of Androids lack in is the quality of the speaker; nonetheless, that is not a problem with the Android phone from LG.

Negative Aspects

The downsides of the LG Optimus One P500 Android handset are somewhat unique but nothing too alarming. The LG Optimus One P500 Android handset built-in camera comes up a bit short with 3 mega pixels to work with but it does have auto focus, geotagging, and face detection support. Although Adobe flash will not work with this phone, the social networking still remains a high quality as a result of the connection. Last, the slow 600 MHz processor may make editing documents somewhat slow but fortunately the rest of the interface operates fine.

Bottom Line

This LG smart phone is ideal for anyone who is looking to buy a good quality smart phone without spending a small fortune. This LG Android phone is also a good learning phone. You will be able to learn about all the features the Android phones have and will be able to find if later on you may need a more expensive phone with more features in the future. However, you may decide that the LG Optimus One P500 Android handset itself is suitable for all your needs.
