LG Optimus Black (P970) in Malaysia Price, Specs & Review

This one's a slice of early-2010s Android history. LG Optimus Black P970 price in Malaysia starts from RM1105, and for that you get a 1 GHz TI OMAP 3630 chipset paired with a PowerVR SGX530 GPU, plus 512 MB RAM. Storage is tight at 2 GB with only 1 GB usable, though a microSD card up to 32 GB stretches that out. The 4.0-inch IPS LCD display runs at 480 x 800 with 233 ppi, sharp enough for its era and easy on the eyes thanks to IPS viewing angles.

Camera-wise, you're looking at a 5 MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, capable of 720p video, plus a 2 MP front camera for basic selfies and video calls. The 1500 mAh battery is modest by any modern measure, but the phone's 9.2mm profile and 109g weight keep it light in the hand.

It shipped with Android Froyo or Gingerbread, with an upgrade path to Ice Cream Sandwich. Wi-Fi Direct, DLNA, A-GPS and stereo FM radio round out the connectivity, features that made it a fairly well-equipped mid-ranger when it launched in May 2011.
