LG sells more than 1 million Optimus One Android smartphones
By Florin on 16 Nov 10Samsung isn’t the only South Korean hardware maker that sells millions of smartphones. LG has just announced that the affordable Optimus One – launched worldwide last month – has been sold in more than 1 million units until now (40 days after launch).
I don’t remember LG selling over 1 million units of a single smartphone, ever, so the company should probably thank Google for developing Android – the Optimus One runs Android 2.2 Froyo, and this is one of the reasons it’s so popular.
Off contract, the Optimus One costs about $300. In the US, the smartpohne is known as Optimus T at T-Mobile, and Optimus S at Sprint. It will also be launched by Verizon (on November 18) as LG Vortex.
