Aside from the Optimus 2X which was launched by LG yesterday, they also showed us the LG Optimus Black. This 4-inch, 1GHz Android smartphone will have a retail price only Php19,990.
The Optimus Black is among the thinnest we’ve seen lately (SE Xperia Arc comes in at 8.7mm and the Galaxy S2 is 8.5mm) at only 9.2mm — that’s still 0.1mm thinner than the iPhone4.
The Optimus Black will definitely go head to head with the likes of the Desire S, Galaxy SL and Xperia Arc.

Optimus UI 2.0
Android 2.2 Froyo (upgradable to 2.3)
The Optimus Black is also the first smartphone I’ve tried that runs on a Texas Instrument processor (though only single-core compared to the dual core on the Optimus 2X). It’s Android 2.2 out of the box but LG says it will be upgradeable to Android 2.3 once the updates are out.
See video demo below:
The Optimus UI really reminded me of the TouchWiz UI from Samsung. The display screen is really bright and the colors are crisp and vivid (an indicator that their Nova display really shows what it claims to be).
The LG Optimus Black will be available in all LG Concept Stores starting next week with a suggested retail price of Php19,990.
Yes, it is equipped with Gorilla Glass.

optimus black user here since july 23. got mine for a little over the srp (deferred) pero it’s worth every centavo. first android phone ko ito. well, coming from symbian and ios phones, in my opinion, panalo imho… it’s processing speed is fast enough for me. maganda display, it has gorilla glass (no immediate need for screen protectors), manipis at sleek ang kaha. the features are more than enough for me. i just hope magkaroon na ng gingerbread update ito asap para mas exciting…
