Well, LG’s gone ahead and made the successor to the Optimus One all official-like. The device you’ve previously known because the Univa (E510) have been renamed because the Optimus Hub, and it’s set to reach in Italy next month for €199 off-contract. The specs remain the similar since we first peered on the handset, though we’re now ready to fill in some additional gaps. First, the camera has received a bump to five megapixels, and while the phone’s ability to record video still tops out at VGA (640 x 480), it’ll now capture as much as 24fps (instead of 18fps with the Optimus One). Sadly, an LED flash remains absent from the scene. This Euro version features quad-band GSM support, although its 3G connectivity is proscribed to the 2100 and 900MHz bands and HSDPA caps out at 3.6Mbps. HDblog (based in Italy) was fortunate to get some hands-on time with the device, or even in case you don’t speak Italian, it seems that to function quite well — just take a peek after the break. How will it compare to offerings from Huawei and ZTE within the battle in your hard-earned coin? That oldsters, continues to be seen.
