The Optimus Vu stands out mostly for its screen shape rather than raw power. Its 5.0-inch HD-IPS LCD panel runs at 768 x 1024 pixels with a boxier 4:3 ratio, closer to a notepad than the widescreen displays most phones used even back then. Inside, a Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core chipset at 1.5GHz pairs with 1GB RAM and 32GB storage, enough for Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich and the apps of its era, though there's no microSD slot to expand beyond that.

LG Optimus Vu price in Malaysia starts from RM1131. The 8MP rear camera adds autofocus, LED flash and 1080p video capture, while a 1.3MP front camera covers basic selfies and video calls. A 2100mAh battery keeps things running, modest by today's standards but in line with phones of its time and screen size.

Connectivity covers NFC, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi Direct, and the device weighs 168g at 8.5mm thick. It comes in Black or White.
