LAHORE: LG Electronics (LG) recently announced that worldwide sales of its Optimus One smartphone have hit one million units just 40 days after the phone’s initial launch. Now available in the Middle East after the global roll-out last month, the Optimus One is the fastest selling mobile handset in the company’s history.
Powered by the Android 2.2 “Froyo” OS and optimised for google mobile services, the LG Optimus One has been a big hit with first-time smart phone buyers looking for high performance and useful applications in a handset priced very competitively to feature phones.
“The versatile, powerful LG Optimus One was designed to provide an easy transition into the world of smartphones and as these numbers demonstrate, there is obviously a strong demand for this type of device,” CEO of LG Electronics Middle East and Africa Mr Ki Wan Kim said, adding that “Optimus One seems to be what many customers were waiting for, proving that smartphones aren’t just for early adopters anymore.”
