A couple of days ago we reported that Samsung had managed to sell 1 million Galaxy Note 2 units back in South Korea, but it looks like Samsung isn’t alone as their South Korean competitor, LG, has similarly announced that they too have managed to sell 1 million units of the LG Optimus Vu in South Korea as well. While congratulations are certainly in order, it should be noted that the LG Optimus Vu was launched much earlier than the Galaxy Note 2, meaning that it took LG longer to hit that 1 million mark compared to Samsung who only took 90 days. It should also been noted that apparently LG took sales on the Optimus Vu II into account, so those numbers might not be as accurate as you might think.

However the LG Optimus Vu was designed differently from the Galaxy Note in the sense that it favored a slightly smaller screen at 5” and its weird 4:3 aspect ratio which made the device rather boxy and weird looking, not to mention probably not as ergonomic as one might think, but what do you guys think? Do you prefer the LG Optimus Vu or its successor, the Vu II, or the Samsung Galaxy Note 2?

The LG Optimus Vu 2 is no doubt the sequel to the LG Optimus Vu (which was considered to fall under the phablet category), carrying a 4:3 aspect ratio and a 5” display. Well, details on the LG Optimus Vu 2 has just been leaked from South Korean blog Bad IT Tong, where it will come with a 5” display as well, where it would feature a 1,024 x 768 resolution screen that is similar to that of the current Vu. At least the RAM count has been bumped up to 2GB, while the Qualcomm processor underneath the hood will receive an update to a 1.5GHz dual-core model, while retaining the LTE radio that is found in its US Intuition variant.
Perhaps on purpose or perhaps they didn’t mean to, but either way it seems that LG has outed the Optimus Vu 2 for the Korean market. This is thanks to a press release
