LG Optimus Vu shows up next to a Samsung Galaxy Note

Last week, a video of the LG Optimus Vu made its way online and not long after a photograph of the phone surfaced as well. In the photograph, we can see the 5″ LG Optimus Vu next to Samsung’s 5.3″ Galaxy Note. Even though LG’s big smartphone only has a 5″ display, it is shorter but wider than the Galaxy Note due to its 4:3 aspect ratio (the Galaxy Note is 16:10). The LG Vu also lacks the curves of the Galaxy Note, and features sharper corners.

The LG Optimus Vu is said to features LTE connectivity, a 1.5GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel camera, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and should be displayed or announced by LG at MWC 2012 this month. More details about the phone should be revealed then.
