LG Philippines silently released a new variant in their Optimus Android series of smartphones in the local market. Announced last September 14, the LG Optimus One is now available in stores with a suggested retail price of Php12,990.

The Optimus One is among the very few handsets to have Froyo 2.2 pre-installed straight out of the box.

LG Optimus One P500
3.2″ capacitive display @ 320×480 pixels
600 MHz Processor
512MB RAM
170MB internal storage
up to 32GB via microSD
HSDPA 7.2Mbps
WiFi 802.11 b/g
Bluetooth 2.1
3.15MP autofocus camera
Stereo FM Radio
GPS w/ aGPS support
1500mAh Li-Ion battery
Android 2.2 Froyo

If you think the Php12,990 is not that very attractive, how about a 50% discount to bring it down to just Php6,495? The blast off sale will happen on November 13 and will be offered in all LG Concept Stores in the malls (SM Megamall, SM North EDSA Annex, SM Cebu, and Gaisano Davao).

Here’s the catch — this one-day sale will also happen in just a one-hour window so you need to be there when the clock strikes on top of the hour. Will post more details when I get more info from LG Philippines.

Update: Just confirmed that the sale will happen between 2:00 – 3:00 PM on November 13, 2010.

that 50% off price tag is the killer; P6,496? nice! :D

JKisaragi · 16 years ago

Hope to hear more details of the 50% off launch sale. I’ll definitely buy one (pag umabot sa sale that is XD).

Pero sayang, walang LED flash (pang torch man lang sana, hehe). But if we do manage to snag one during the sale, ok lang. XD

Wakocoke · 16 years ago

Derick · 16 years ago

@yuga

Jonai · 16 years ago

eks · 16 years ago

whoa!!!really? magtetent kaya ako?

walang imik · 16 years ago

iw…

prosopagnosia · 16 years ago

so tempting!

but Flash 10.1 will not work due to the absence of ARMv7 processor (it runs on ARMv6)

wha · 16 years ago

wee……

jonnel13 · 16 years ago

wow! android phone for P6K+ lang? the only let-down for me would be the lack of flash support, pero pwede na! kailan kaya malalaman yung oras?

Suplado · 16 years ago

i’m tempted. i just finished watching a couple of reviews about this phone and there’s one thing that’s very glaring. medyo hindi responsive young screen nya. i hope it’s not the case.

madzman23 · 16 years ago

WOW!!! i can be as cool as Lee MinHo for 6K+.. I really want to get one of these. Hope I can make it on time. Sir Yuga, please inform us the time as soon as possible. Thank you very much.

i just got an htc legend 2 days ago then i see this. the difference between the two is the amoled screen of the htc vs the tft screen of this one as well as the camera (3.15mp for this, 5mp for legend). but aside from that, almost the same specs! and it comes with froyo too! very tempting.
