Sprint launches eco-friendly LG Optimus Elite smartphone

LG Optimus Elite smartphone

Sprint has announced the LG Optimus Elite, the latest smartphone from the carrier to feature eco-friendly design and construction. The Optimus Elite is an Android 2.3 Gingerbread smartphone with a 3.5-inch display and support for Sprint's 3G network.

The Optimus Elite is an entry-level smartphone, and it has the price and specs to match. It's powered by a single-core 800MHz processor and has a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash on the back, but lacks a front-facing camera. The Optimus Elite does have NFC capabilities, and it supports the Google Wallet mobile payment service out of the box.


As with Sprint's other eco-friendly smartphones, the Optimus Elite is constructed of 50 percent recycled plastics, is free from hazardous materials like PVC, phthalates, halogens, and mercury, and comes in fully recyclable packaging printed with soy inks.

The LG Optimus Elite will be available from Sprint on April 22 for $29.99 with a new two-year contract. Buyers will be able to choose between white or silver versions. It will also be available from Sprint's pre-paid Virgin Mobile brand in the near future, but pricing and an exact release date have not yet been announced for the Virgin Mobile edition.

LG has planned to hold the competition to get the best future technology mobile. LG is one leading company so they have very strong criteria for there best mobile phone technology the company said about there requirements they are looking for a cool new concept or big idea supported by usage scenario illustration.
43 entries will pick as finalist and then 3 high price winner would as first $20000, second 10000 and third price winner. This competition is also known as American idol phone finally LG will come with the newest idol cellphone design just wait for the grate technology.

The processor is a 1GHz single core Snapdragon CPU. We can clearly tell the difference between single core and dual core user interface responsiveness. No single core smartphone comes close to the user friendly experience of any dual core smartphone. But still, the LG Revolution responds fairly quickly. There isn’t at all that much bloatware installed on it.

There is a 1500mAh battery under the Revolution’s hood. The battery life certainly isn’t bad. Your phone will easily last a few days, even when you use it on a frequent basis.

It is too bad that the Revolution is running Android 2.2, which is now antique by software standards. LG has promised that a 2.3 update is quickly coming. We’re looking forward to it; it would do this phone a lot more justice.
