LG take Android to the next level with the LU2300 Tweet

I’m a big fan of the LG GW620 InTouch Max. It was a great introduction to Android for first time smart phone users, with many fans including the Gadget Show’s John Bentley. Now it looks like LG have decided to create an android phone for the serious smartphone user.

Allow me to introduce the InTouch Max’s big brother, the LG LU2300. With Android 2.1 as standard it packs enough of a punch to compete for the affections of android smartphone users with the likes of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and the HTC Legend.

LG are showing their commitment to listening to the opinions of their customers by not only upgrading from android 1.5 to 2.1, but also by replacing the GW620’s resistive touchscreen with a 3.5inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, as these were both flagged as weaker points on the GW620.

Features:

* Android 2.1
* 3.5inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen
* 1GHz Snapdragon Processor
* 4 line landcape slide QWERTY keyboard
* DivX support
* Wi-Fi
* DMB Tuner
* 5 megapixel camera complete with geo-tagging

The word on the street also says that it has a commitment to Augmented Reality, with built in AR apps as standard.

It is due for release in Korea in April or May this year and we can only hope that it is such a big hit that it is given a wider release soon!
