LG Optimus Black with WiFi Direct

So we’ve finally gotten word of LG’s new flagship smartphone in the Optimus line — the LG Optimus Black.
Juicy specs include WiFi Direct, the first 2MP front-facing camera for
video calls and the new Nova display that’s said to be “brightest,
clearest and most readable” display on a mobile phone.

At just 9.2mm on the side, it’s also one of the thinnest Android
smartphone we’ve encountered where the edge tapers to just 6mm (though
the Xperia Arc is thinner at 8.7mm).
