LG Optimus series

LG Optimus series is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand LG Optimus series rather than just read about it. In short: The LG Optimus series of smartphones and tablet computers were marketed and manufactured by LG Electronics from 2010 to 2015. Optimus-branded devices have been produced running both the Android and Windows Phone 7 operating systems.

Key takeaways

LG Optimus series belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect LG Optimus series to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of LG Optimus series from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Optimus One The LG Optimus One, released in October 2010, is LG's second phone in the Optimus series. Due to network differences between carriers, LG created a sub-series with carrier-specific variants based on the Optimus One. Over two million of the Optimus One and its carrier variants combined have been sold. Additionally, some hardware variants add minor new features:

LG Optimus Black, released in May 2011 LG Optimus Chat, featuring a smaller screen and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard LG Optimus Chic, with different hardware design plus improved digital camera and modem LG Optimus Net, with an improved 800 MHz single-core processor LG Optimus Sol, with an improved 1 GHz single-core processor

Optimus L LG Optimus L is an Android sub-series launched in 2012. It consists of the following:

First Series LG Optimus L2, released in July 2012 LG Optimus L3, released in February 2012 LG Optimus L5, released in June 2012 LG Optimus L7, released in July 2012 LG Optimus L9(P769), released in October 2012 LG Optimus L9(MS769), released in July 2013

LG L Fino, released in September 2014 LG L Bello, released in September 2014

Optimus F LG Optimus F is an Android sub-series announced on February 21, 2013. It uses the same naming conventions as its predecessor, the Optimus L lineup. It includes the following:

LG Optimus F3, released in June 2013 LG Optimus F3Q, released in February 2014 LG Optimus F5, released in May 2013 LG Optimus F6, model numbers D500 and MS500, released in September 2013 LG Optimus F7, released in June 2013 LG F60, released in 2014 LG F70, latest model in F series, released in 2014

Optimus G

The Optimus G sub-series was introduced for LG's high-end devices in 2012. In 2013, after releasing two devices carrying the Optimus G branding, future products (such as the LG G2) dropped the Optimus brand entirely as part of a new separate G line.

LG Optimus G LG Optimus G Pro LG G Pro 2 LG G2 LG G Flex LG G Pad 8.3 LG G3 LG G Flex 2 LG G4 LG G5 LG G6 LG G7 ThinQ LG G8 ThinQ

Optimus Vu

The Optimus Vu sub-series was introduced for LG's stylus-enabled devices in 2012.

LG Optimus Vu LG Optimus Vu II LG Optimus Vu III

Windows Phone LG only released two LG Optimus phones with the Windows Phone operating system, compared to 20 unique Android smartphones. The first of these was the LG Optimus 7, released in November 2010. It was followed by the LG Quantum, alternatively Optimus 7Q or Optimus Quantum, a variant with a physical keyboard.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with LG Optimus series

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what LG Optimus series claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to LG Optimus series before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about LG Optimus series ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of LG Optimus series

In research: LG Optimus series appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses LG Optimus series in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: LG Optimus series is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Android (operating system) devices, LG Electronics mobile phones, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for LG Optimus series outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
