LG LU3000
While LG isn't a real competitor for HTC, Samsung or Apple, it seems that its new Android Froyo phone, LU 3000, is a real impressive piece, faster than Galaxy S and iPhone 4. Made for the South Korean market, the device was announced at the KES2010, the equivalent event of the US CES and is considered to be a high-end phone.
LG LU3000 will pack a 3.8-inch IPS WVGA display, capable of 1080 video recording, 1 GHz TI OMAP processor, 5MP camera with LED flash and HDMI out and sporting Android 2.2 Froyo. Why is this LG's phone supposed to be faster than the iPhone 4 or Galaxy S?
According to the video (from the source link), the LU3000 is loading YouTube app and other webpages faster than iPhone 4 and Galaxy S. All three devices are "activated" same time and the one from LG is the fastest. See for yourself.
A smart move would be to see it coming in Europe and USA, cause it proves to be quite a competitor for all other smartphones available on the market.
