LG Optimus Net P669 a.k.a Optimus Gelato review

On September 7th, 2011 by Rohit N.V.V.S | No Comments | Posted in review

LG ‘s mobile phone business hasn’t been very profitable for the company but there is no end of new product launches from it’s side.

 

After the hugely successful launch of the LG Optimus One Android phone, it’s no wonder that LG started releasing models bettering the P500. On those lines, LG Optimus Net is the next Android smartphone being released. There’s a lot of similarity when you compare the One P500 and Net versions under the Optimus series. The phone is also popularly known as LG Optimus P699 or LG Gelato in America.

 

Optimus Net features an 3.2 inch capacitive touch screen on which the viewing can be great at 320*480 pixel resolution. It has a 800 MHz processor clocking inside bettering the 600 MHz offered by Optimus One. Even the Qualcomm 7227M chipset is a betterment leading to better Android experience. 512 MB of RAM should be sufficient to run any application without any lag.What is more exciting is that you will get the phone with Gingerbread 2.3.3 installed on it. Again, P500 phone has received Gingerbread upgrade in many countries around the world. So, there’s nothing much different from Optimus One except for the faster processor.

Camera:

It has a 3.15 MP camera which can take very good pictures and videos are recorded in VGA mode at 24 fps and the quality of the videos are also good.

 

Media:

The default Android player can play mp3,wav files. Coming to the videos section, it can play mp4 files. DivX and Xvid support is missing here which you get through the OPtimus One P500.

 

Battery Life:

Battery Life will be nothing short of good compared to other Android phones. Android phones, being power hungry, need a higher mAh battery. LG responded to this by including a 1500 mAh battery as it did in P500.

 

Price:

LG Optimus Net ‘s price in india is expected to be around 10-12K. In America, it would be around $250-$300.

 

Alternatives:

With so much said, we can now look at alternatives to this phone.

 

You can look at the LG Optimus One itself as it comes with almost the same specifications saving for a slower processor. The Gingerbread update for P500 is already out.

 

Samsung galaxy S5570 can be a good option at cheaper price of 8000 bucks. But you would only get a 1200 mAh battery , slower processor at 600 Mhz and 384 Mb of RAM.

 

Take a look at HTC Wildfire S. At a premium price of about 13k, you would get Gorilla Glass Display and a 5 MP camera with LED flash.But the battery powering Wildfire S is lower at 1230 mAh.

 

For Indians, Micromax Andro A70 can be a cheaper option. With the price at 7.5k , you are getting just 256 Mb of RAM ,slower processor and a really bad 5MP camera. There is also a front-facing camera in this case.

LG Optimus One P500 gingerbread(2.3.3)update released in India

On August 30th, 2011 by Rohit N.V.V.S | 3 Comments | Posted in india

The much awaited Gingerbread upgrade for LG optimus One P500 is finally available in India. People in India were turning intolerant after the Gingerbread release has been released in Romania and LG India promised them the update by May this year. But the delay that has been taking place finally got called off.

The Gingerbread 2.3.3 is applied to your P500 with the firmware version v20b. You can walk into the nearest LG service centre to do the update for you. But if you are confident to apply the update yourself, download the official Indian update from the mediafire link:http://mediafire.com/?tz8mgjegl4be866 (this is the official 2.3.3 kdz file of the update).

Update 30/8: There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding the update in India. People say India hasn’t been included in the list this time and users are expected to get the update sometime in September. But some users have got the upgrade from the LG service centers in their areas. So, better rush to your nearest LG service center to get it updated.Trying to update it through desktop client may not work- at least for now. When you connect the phone through the desktop client, it says that the phone is already having the latest update available which is v10e(Froyo 2.2.1) as in the screenshot below (credit: viv_jen)

Some advantages of applying the update:

1.First, this is a better version than Froyo. So, get ready for better interface, better performance and pleasing colors on the screen. Performance wise, it’s a great jump. Friends who have done Quadrant Benchmark test on the stock 2.3.3  say the score is 840 and FPS of 35.

2.Battery life is improved.

3.Touch lag bug which causes the HD games unplayable, seems to be solved.

4.Android Gingerbread keyboard can be used.

Micromax’s Andro A70 is the latest “ Cheap Android smartphone” available in India.

Being a feature rich Android, you need not burn your pocket to buy this phone. Being announced in July, the Micromax A70 has ever rising popularity among Indian android phone seekers.

The A70 can be bought at the cheapest price on Letsbuy.com. The original cost of the phone is at INR 7619 . But using a coupon with the code – “RCOMLB1”, the cost of the phone is further reduced by a 762 bucks. So, the final cost of the phone after the discount coupon is at 6857. This is the lowest price I found for this mobile.Apply the above mentioned letsbuy coupon code when checking out to pay with a credit card or through netbanking. The discount coupon can’t be clubbed with a Cash on Delivery (COD) order according to their recently changed rules.

One more option is to go to a “ The Mobile Store” shop and buy the mobile. The cost is at INR 7889 for the black version. But, with a “100 %cash back “ offer in place till September 2, you can get discounts ranging from Rs 50 to full price of the mobile. For getting cashback , you need to ask for a computer generated bill and you would automatically get the discount amount deducted from the price of the mobile. This is purely based on randomness and it depends on your luck that day.

So, step out to buy that popular android smartphone and keep in mind the above two routes to get the cheap price. You can leave comments below if you have found some other alternatives for buying it.

 

Google Independence day logo 2011

On August 16th, 2011 by Rohit N.V.V.S | No Comments | Posted in india

Google, in it’s usual mood to decorate it’s logo on special days, has made India’s Independence day just a little more special.

 

 

The independence day logo has the letters of Google inscribed in white with the Red Fort in the background. The logo gave me a special feeling but what was missing was the presence of the Indian flag though the colors used have a close resemblance to those in the flag.

 

Here is an upload of the Google India’s Independence day logo 2011:

Buy an LG Optimus One at the cheapest price from Letsbuy.com

On August 1st, 2011 by Rohit N.V.V.S | No Comments | Posted in india

LG Optimus One P500 is the best budget android phone around. Be it the screen resolution, the battery life or the graphics performance, there is no other smartphone in the market which can beat this phone at the same price or a little higher.

 

For a phone to sell 2 million pieces within 65 days of it’s launch, there should be something great about it.There is no wonder why this phone is so popular among the ‘Best Budget Android phone’ searchers.

 

With so much said, the price of LG P500 is still dropping almost every week. In India, you can find best deals on online shopping/electronics portals like letsbuy.com ,adexmart.com and Flipkart.com.

 

At present, the best deal offering the cheapest price is from letsbuy.com .The phone is listed at a cheap price of Rs 9499 on the portal and using a discount coupon of ‘RCOMLB1’, you can get an additional discount for Rs.1000. So, the final price you got to pay is Rs.8499. You can then chose to pay through net banking or credit card. The discount coupon can’t be used with a Cash on Delivery (COD) order. The product is available at http://www.letsbuy.com/lg-optimus-one-p500-p-12977 .

 

Alternately, you can head over to a ‘The Mobile Store’ and ask for a P500. The listing price of the mobile is a little higher at Rs 10279. But, till August 15, there is a 100% cash back offer from the store. After you decide to buy the phone, you will be sent a coupon to your phone which may contain cash back offer upto 10279. But, as you should have got it by now, not everyone can be lucky. The shop owner told me that some people got cash backs of 2000,5000 etcc.,. So this is a risky bet as you can get the coupon only after making the payment and you cannot reject just because you didn’t get good discount. Through this, you will get your hands on the P500 within minutes instead of waiting for the product through courier service in case you order it through an online store.
