Galaxy Note vs LG Optimus Vu: The Battle of the Giant Phones Begins

This is a competition in a new arena of smartphones. This new battle can be termed as the battle of 5+ inches phones with stylus. This is the territory where no other companies have dared to step on. It was first Samsung who took the challenge of making the phablet phone factor popular. For some months, it did not have any competitor of its kind, but it looks like the good days are over for Galaxy Note. LG has announced the new LG Optimus Vu with a 5 inches display and guess what else, the support for stylus. So the Galaxy Note vs LG Optimus Vu battle is just the beginning of a new kind of battle.


Galaxy Note vs LG Optimus Vu

There is nothing new to tell about the Galaxy Note as Samsung has made a carpet bombing of advertisements on the Galaxy Note all over the world. It has a 5.3" high res display, slim body and stylus support. The present Android version of this phone is Gingerbread and Samsung is not very clear about the ICS update on Galaxy Note and LG is promising the ICS update after 3 months of the lunch. It could be an instant winner if it was released with Android 4.0 or ICS. LG Optimus Vu, the new kid on the block is a bit different in design. Unlike the traditional Android phones, it has a 5:4 aspect ratio. The display size of LG Optimus Vu is 5", which is .3 inches less than the Galaxy Note. The aspect ratio is a bit uncomfortable too. The battery of LG Optimus Vu is also a bit weaker than that of Galaxy note. On the processor side, the Galaxy Note is powered by a dual core 1.4 GHz Exynos processor and the Optimus Vu runs with a dual core 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The Optimus Vu has a resolution of 1024x768 pixels which is lower than its competitor, the Galaxy Note. With its iPad like resolution, it also features the iPad like display, the famous IPS display. The cameras and other specification of these two phones are quite similar and before the original release and testing, its better to hold on to any comments about these.
