With their new line of mobile devices announced in July, LG is attempting to gain a larger share in the Android market by offering devices focused on specific customer needs at various hardware and price levels. The Optimus series is designed to provide a wider selection of devices for consumers to make it possible for potential buyers to find a mobile device fit their needs, rather than releasing a single expensive, feature-heavy model as some other manufacturers are doing. Optimus Chic deals are aplenty on the internet so it can be wise to check out some mobile phone comparison websites before buying. Currently only the Optimus GT540 is available, but the rest of the line is expected to follow sometime in late September/early October, with the LG Optimus Chic, Optimus One, and a tablet device to be available by the end of the year.

The Optimus Chic, announced on July 5th with the Optimus One and the as-yet-unnamed tablet device, is a step down from the features of the Optimus One, and has hardware and features expected on a midrange phone, with the price expected to match, though details on both the specs and price have been kept under wraps. With the feature-rich 2.2 Froyo version of the Android OS already confirmed for inclusion with the Optimus Chic on release, the Chic is one of the few phones to ship with the hyped platform already installed. LG’s time spent researching consumer desires has helped them to get a better idea exactly what consumers are looking for in mobile devices and what drives their choices to purchase specific devices. They found that the greatest motivation behind smartphone purchases is ease of access information, and to that end they have attempted to design their Optimus to extend their ability to quickly and easily access information, with hardware and software that makes this possible. Little is known about the Optimus Chic currently, but recent sightings show it has a 3.2” display, a 5 megapixel camera, and is powered by a midrange Qualcomm processor. The Optimus Chic is currently expected to be available sometime after September in the European and Korean markets with others to follow.
