Announced: 07 Jan 2010 - Release date: 11 Jun 2010

For

• Camera belies the price tag
• Stylish chassis
• Good battery life

Against

• Resistive touchscreen technology means its display is less sensitive than you would like it to be
• Low-resolution camera (3 megapixels)
• Screen is small
• Lacks an ambient light sensor for automatic screen brightness adjustment
• Lacks a proximity sensor that turns the display оff during a phone call

 LG Optimus GT540 is LG's second Android phone. It attracts the attention with its design – with very round edges and metal like trim around the corners. The controls are a combination of two touch sensitive buttons (back and menu), while the home, call and end are regular ones. Specs-wise, there is not a lot to talk about – 3 mega-pixel camera, video player with DivX support and microSDHC card slot.
