Another feature that LG might stand back in its freshness will be the OS it will run in its Optimus Vu. It will be an Android 2.3 Gingerbread and for Samsung, that’s just an old specification with even the comparatively older handsets having Android 4s. So bigger it is not, the LG Optimus Vu, finally when it comes to configuring with the latest utilities and specifications. Will it be able to dominate the market with it’s over sized smart phone? The answer is quiet clear.
