LG Optimus also features enhanced social networking functions in a high-powered multimedia environment.<\/p>\n<p>    \u201cLG Optimus is the ideal choice for early smartphone users who expect all the features of smartphones without the complexity,\u201d said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. \u201cThis is a device that was designed for regular people who want to jump into the smartphone experience but have been hesitant to do so because of the learning curve. By making LG Optimus more approachable, we hope more people will give smartphones a try.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>    Optimal Convenience<br \/>\n    LG Optimus delivers smartphone benefits in a convenient Google internet package. With an automatically synchronised Google account, users need to only log-in once to enjoy YouTube, Gmail, Gtalk, Google Maps and more. With easy access to more than 30,000 downloadable applications and games from the Android Market, users can easily customise and expand their LG Optimus experience.<\/p>\n<p>    The SN Manager offers integrated access to social networking sites in a convenient platform that can manage multiple accounts. LG\u2019s dedicated Social Networking Client allows users to easily keep track of their Facebook, Twitter and Bebo accounts. Moreover, the Social Networking System (SNS) widgets provide real-time status updates directly to the home screen without having to access any other applications. The handset\u2019s multitasking feature allows users to view updates from friends and access their social media sites while simultaneously searching the phone\u2019s contact list.<\/p>\n<p>    The user interface is customisable for maximum convenience. The LG Optimus can be customised to show anywhere from three to seven home screens displaying frequently used applications, news and weather, among other information, depending on user preference. Additionally, the main menu can be personalised to include up to 10 editable categories for faster, easier navigation.<\/p>\n<p>    Optimal Excitement<br \/>\n    LG Optimus includes high-powered entertainment features that make the phone extra fun to use. The advanced media player allows users to watch DivX and Xvid videos directly without separate encoding and browsing multimedia files is especially enjoyable with the 3D thumbnail gallery.<\/p>\n<p>    The phone\u2019s 3MP camera supports geo-tagging, auto face-tagging and face-to-action technology to allow users to create and share multimedia content from the phone. The LG Optimus has a built-in video editor with storyboard function so that users can add music and text to videos directly on the phone.<\/p>\n<p>    LG Optimus boasts a distinctive design that is both sleek and soft and is available in black and silver. What\u2019s more, the phone includes a long-lasting 1500mAh battery, a 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth 2.1 capability, assisted GPS, 32GB of expandable microSD memory and four customisable home screen themes together with enhanced idle lock screen notifications.<\/p>\n<p>    The LG Optimus will be available in the UK from 1 May.
