Not as impressive as its rival, Galaxy Note,
Optimus Vu is also an LG Android smartphone having fine runtime.
Optimus Vu is LG’s Android smartphone that
has the biggest monitor (5inch). Though, unlike Samsung Galaxy Note, Optimus Vu
owns a square design with a screen size of 4:3 instead of 16:9 which is
familiar with other Android ones. To prevent much energy consumed, LG has
equipped this model with a 2,080mAh battery.
The
model’s talk time is 2/3 equivalent to Galaxy Note’s one
As usual, our battery test went through 3
rounds. In talk time test, this 5-inch model of LG can handle within up to 8
hours via 3G. The result was not bad but not as fascinating as that of Galaxy
Note with stronger battery (2,500mAh).

phone ranked at the middle
Web browsing is one of the target features
on Optimus Vu when the manufacturer uses a 4:3 screen (instead of 16:9).
However, the 5inch HD-IPS LCD panel (768x1,024) is considerably
energy-consuming no less than other AMOLED rivals.
This model was able to browse webs
continuously via Wi-Fi connection within 4 hours and 49 minutes. The result was
higher than that of most LG smartphones but still at average level.
Optimus
Vu is a LG model that has the steadiest runtime
In the final test on video playback, this
phone could handle within more than 6 hours consecutively. It continued to lie
in the middle rank with an average battery lifetime. Nonetheless, with the 4:3
monitor, playing movies is not an upside of LG Optimus Vu, including experience
as well as battery runtime.
The
5-inch smartphone of LG gives an average battery runtime
In general, if we use the phone to call via
3G, browse webs with Wi-Fi and play movies in each one hour per day, the
2,000mAh battery of Optimus Vu could give a 37 hour runtime. According to us,
this smartphone consumes a lot of energy in standby mode when Wi-Fi connection
and synchronization mode are switched on.
