LG Intros “World’s Slimmest” Phone

Is this the world’s slimmest phone? At an admittedly svelte 9.2 millimeters (the iPhone 4 is 9.3mm, for the record), LG says yes. It’s the new LG Optimus Black, announced today, during the company’s CES keynote. The device has a 4-inch NOVA screen, which means it should actually be okay to look at, even when standing in bright sunlight–the company calls it “the brightest, clearest, and most readable among mobile screens.”

The phone also has a front-facing 2MP video camera for making those video calls that everyone seems so darn keen on, these days. It also features Wi-iFi direct data transfer between handsets. The Optimus Black is going to run Android 2.2 Froyo and will be released at some point during the first half of this year. You’ll be able to upgrade it to Gingerbread, too, however, when the time comes.
