Features
As with all of the other WP7 phones we've reviewed over the past few weeks, the Optimus 7 matches Microsoft's required hardware spec, and is limited by it as well. It supports a full range of connectivity options, with HSPA network compatibility, Wi-Fi including wireless N, A-GPS, Bluetooth, plus it adds to the basic suite with DLNA media streaming (but not receiving).
Like the 7Q, the Optimus 7 also has twice the on-board memory of its competition, with 16GB of non-expandable storage. Its 5-megapixel is the basic spec for WP7, but the quality of the sensor is quite good, and the LED flash does a good job of illuminating dark scenes and acting as a fill flash. Its digital zoom feature is basically unusable, but then, digital zoom is always pretty rubbish.
You also get access to a range of exclusive LG-created apps, which are by far the best we've seen from the manufacturers so far. Pre-installed on our review unit were a panoramic photo stitching tool and an augmented-reality nav app, similar to Layar. A quick glance at the Marketplace and we discovered a half dozen more, including music rhythm games and a Tool Kit with a range of mini apps within. We've also been told by LG that it plans to co-develop up to 10 new apps every quarter and that these are exclusive to LG WP7 handsets.
