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 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.
