LG Optimus One P500 review: LG Optimus One P500
The LG Optimus One is a sturdy if not entirely thrilling budget Android handset that includes some useful features and a pleasant user experience. Android's "Froyo" update is making its slow, inexorable march across the handsets of the globe, and it's now appearing on new devices as the default operating system. After the hash that was the manual Telstra update this is definitely a plus.
Pros:
- Decent touchscreen
- Responsive
- Android 2.2 on-board
- Bundled turn-by-turn GPS
- Mechanical menu buttons
- Cheap.
Cons:
- Lacks the "wow" factor
- VGA video capture
- Gaming is hit and miss
- Earpiece is noisy.

LG Optimus One
The LG Optimus One feels like a better device than LG's GT-540 Optimus. We prefer the design and we like that the buttons are to the point, unlike the Huawei Ideos, which goes a little overboard on controls.
Pros:
- LG's tinkering isn't too aggressive
- Android 2.2
- smartphone features at an affordable price
Cons:
- Low resolution display
- camera performance isn't anything to get excited about
- flex in the display centre means the capacitive display behaves more like a resistive one

LG Optimus One P500 budget Android smartphone
Time was when smartphones were always high-end handsets. But as economies of scale help bring prices down, Android's open option has made it appealing to a wide variety of manufacturers and it's adding smartphone goodies to some very modestly priced handsets.

LG Optimus One P500 review
A budget smartphone that offers some great features, the LG Optimus One P500 is well worth a second look. Unlike some other cheap handsets, it runs Android 2.2 Froyo rather than 2.1 Eclair.
