LG Optimus One Review
Share:
The touch-optimized camera interface of LG adds a few capabilities to spruce up the default 3MP shooter with no flash. There are a few presets, such as Portrait, Landscape, Sports, Night and Sunset, Macro and Face tracking, as well as a rich set of shooting modes – Continuous mode, Smile shot, LG’s trademark Beauty shot, Art shot, Panorama, Face effect and… Cartoon. Face effect is pretty cool as it makes a mockery of your subjects, giving them big heads, adding concave or fish-eye regimes. The camera software also offers a few color effects, of course, of which Solarize, Negative Sepia and Blue are the non-standard.

The pictures themselves are with enough detail for a 3MP shooter, but the LG Optimus One fails to focus well on anything but the center of the frame, making them appear blurred. The noise suppression took away a lot of detail from the indoor samples. The phone captures VGA video with accurate color representation, but at 17fps it is nothing to write home about.

LG Optimus One Sample Video:
The standard Android gallery with its 3D effects while scrolling media files, as well as the stock music player are what is used for multimedia consumption on the LG Optimus One. The gallery is very good, but the music player offers the basics – the coolest part is the Party Shuffle feature, which just picks tracks at random, and that’s about it. The loudspeaker is of average quality in terms of volume/range, and, as usual with the LG phones of late, doubles as an earspeaker.

Video playback supports Divx/Xvid codecs, which is a great feat, and those videos played nicely up to 420x260 pixels of resolution.

What a fantastic site!!! Even the online official website of the phones are not so cool as this site is. It has provided me loads of information about the phone which neither manufacturer nor promotion neither any mobile store nor any person could have given me. Fabulous Fantastic Faadu Site. I am its fan now!!!

Why do you write reviews on your own website?

If you are browsing a webpage witch include youtube video, you have to click on it and the "onboard" youtube player will play it.
There is some other options:
-The Skyfire browser (the payed one) is convert all videos, then you can watch them.
-Puffin browser is able to play directly the video on the webpage
So don't worry, One is a really great phone, I love it!

Hey im thinking of getting this phone i am a guy so abuse to the phone is a possibility, and reliability is also a big concern too. how is the boot sequence? is it fast or slow compared to other phone. right now it looks fantastic and almost sold on getting it i just want a "back ground check" thanx:)

This is the WORST phone in the world! It makes me wish that I had an old flip phone! The screen always stops working for days at a time. Seriously I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone!

Be aware that Android 2.3 has a bug which prevents apps from correctly displaying compass heading information. LG refuses to deal with this problem.
