LG Electronics, which is struggling in its fight to keep up with compatriot Samsung in the high end Android smartphone sector, is looking to consolidate its midrange segment it seems. Its high end Optimus 2x hasn’t been able to evoke as much interest as the Galaxy S II by Samsung. However, its lower end Optimus One launched last year had seen tremendous success.
The company’s next generation midrange handset, the Univa – or the E510 was given a hands-on treatment by Norwegian website Mobili and reportedly came out impressed with the device. While, we still do not know the official specs of the phone it is expected to be powered by an 800 MHz processor coupled with the Adreno 200 GPU. The device gets 512 MB of RAM which we think should be sufficient for a device in this segment.
The Univa gets a 3.5 inch display with the standard Android resolution of 800*480 and comes with Android 2.3.4 installed. To power the device, it gets a 1500 mAH battery.
Like we said, the device is still not official, and as of now we have no word as to when LG plans to launch this one.
