Stunning LG Optimus Black Android smartphone with Mobitel

Abans, sole agents for LG Electronics, Korea, together with Sri Lanka Telecom Mobitel, launched the latest and most sophisticated smartphone – the LG Optimus Black – one of the world’s slimmest and brightest Android smartphones, boasting capabilities that are the world’s first.

Providing users with a dramatically brighter four-inch NOVA display in one of the world’s slimmest 6-9.2 mm mobile device, the LG Optimus Black creates a one-of-a-kind user experience by providing a faster and smoother multitasking experience with virtually no screen lag.

Abans has partnered Mobitel, to offer an exclusive value pack to customers who purchase the LG Optimus Black phone. All customers who purchase the LG Optimus Black Smartphone are entitled to a value pack that includes voice, SMS and data features.

Mobitel’s state-of-the-art extensive 3.5G network, the first to be launched in the South Asian region, delivers enhanced solutions with a commitment to increasing network capacity and serves as the ideal platform for new technology.

Available for the first time in the mobile market, the LG Optimus Black’s NOVA display is designed to be the brightest, clearest and most readable mobile screen with 700 nits of brightness for optimal visibility.

The LG Optimus Black provides users with an easier and more natural experience when browsing the web, reading emails, and writing documents with higher levels of brightness and pure white tones that deliver true black and white colours for ideal handset viewing. NOVA technology featured on the LG Optimus Black enables users to maintain visibility whether indoors or outdoors under strong sunlight.

In addition to greater luminosity, the NOVA display on the LG Optimus Black also radically reduces power consumption by 50 percent during general indoor use compared to a conventional LCD.

Similarly, AMOLED screens consume twice as much power as NOVA screens to display a full white screen; the most frequently used colour scheme for web browsing. Combined with the 1500 mAh battery of the LG Optimus Black, users will have enough power for their daily needs, even at maximum brightness settings.

Users will never be out of style with the LG Optimus Black’s ultra slim 9.2 mm design. Making a strong visual statement, the LG Optimus Black weighs only 109g and offers sleek lines and smooth edges that improve handheld grip. Tapering down to the world’s thinnest smartphone profile of 6.0 mm, LG Optimus Black’s subtle back arch helps to create the illusion of even greater slimness and increase the chic factor. Unique to the LG Optimus Black, the flush and flawless finish of the front display is achieved by innovatively hiding the Invisible Receiver behind the edges of the phone. The LG Optimus Black also offers a set of smarter features designed for easy and faster access to important apps and content. Optimus UI 2.0 lets users directly access messages, emails and missed calls from the locked screen with just one single finger tap. The Gesture UI offers more intuitive commands, including lifting, shaking and tapping, for taking calls, entering camera mode, or enjoying music.

The LG Optimus Black also introduces the world’s first Wi-Fi Direct for quick and high-quality data transfer between mobile devices and adopts the world’s first 2MP front-facing camera, for video telephony function and 5MP rear camera with flash.

All LG Optimus Black features are available on the Android 2.2 Froyo platform with Android 2.3 Gingerbread upgrade capability.
