LG Intuition review: Optimus Deja Vu with a Verizon LTE twist

The Intuition is a mediocre phone with last year's specs, and only a select few buyers will even feel comfortable holding it.

LG Optimus Vu review: Hands-on

Update: The LG Optimus Vu UK launch date has been confirmed as September 2012. The palm-sized tablet was first unveiled at MWC 2012 in February and features a 5-inch 4:3 display, the Nvidia Tegra 3 processor and Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

In competition with the Galaxy Note, Vu is also a hybrid between a phone and a tablet. The 5" screen size looks good and the sleek 0.33 inch-thickness adds to the wow factor. However, the width at 3.5 inches is less than that of Galaxy Note, and so could be irritating to some aficionados.

The LG Optimus Vu's gigantic size is its biggest USP – and one of its drawbacks. Experts around the tech world who spent some time with the handset enjoyed its huge screen for media and entertainment but found it difficult to make a call on the phablet with just one hand.

Looking at the big picture, LG's Optimus Vu's is a smartphone that will confuse users. And it doesn't seem fit for this world like the Galaxy Note is. And it has an expensive price. But it's not a bad smartphone/tablet.
