LG Optimus One and Optimus Chic unveiled!

LG also held an online webcast this afternoon to introduce two new Android Froyo 2.2. smartphones — the LG Optimus One and the LG Optimus Chic.

The two aren’t really flagship phones but more like entry-level to mid-level Android smartphones.



LG Optimus Chic E720
3.2 inches display @ 320×480 pixels
600MHz processor
150 MB internal memory
up to 32GB via microSD (2GB included)

WiFi 802.11 b/g
Bluetooth 2.1 w/ A2DP
5MP autofocus camera
VGA video recording @ 30fps

The Optimus Chic also comes with LG Air Sync that has the ability to wirelessly sync contacts, photos and other information with your PC and other cloud database.




LG Optimus One P500
3.2 inches display @ 320×480 pixels
600MHz processor
170 MB internal memory
up to 32GB via microSD
HSDPA 7.2Mbps, HSUPA 2Mbps
WiFi 802.11 b/g
Bluetooth 2.1 w/ A2DP
3.15MP autofocus camera
FM Radio tuner
GPS w/ aGPS support
1500mAh Li-Po battery

And since these handsets come pre-installed with Android Froyo 2.2, you’re able to store apps straight into the microSD card so that small amount of internal memory on the unit isn’t a big issue.

The Optimus One and Optimus Chic might not be available locally until December or later and though LG has not indicated the suggested retail price for these smarphones, it could be in the same price range as the first LG Optimus GT540 (which is under ~Php13k).
