LG Optimus One P500

RM 399.00

Price last checked: 29 Jun 2015. Confirm current price before buying.

This is an entry-level Android phone from the early smartphone era, built around a 600 MHz ARM 11 chip and Qualcomm's MSM7227 chipset. With just 170 MB of internal storage and 512 MB RAM, it's nowhere near capable of modern apps, but a microSD slot supporting up to 32 GB (with 2 GB included) gave buyers back then some breathing room. The 3.2-inch TFT screen runs at 320 x 480 pixels, a low pixel density by today's standards.

The rear camera sits at 3.15 MP with autofocus, and there's no front camera at all, so selfies and video calls weren't part of the plan. A 1500 mAh battery keeps things running, paired with Android 2.2 Froyo out of the box, upgradable to 2.3 Gingerbread. LG Optimus One P500 price in Malaysia starts from RM399.

It's a lightweight device at 129 g and comes in six colour options including black, wine, and purple. Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth 2.1, and a stereo FM radio round out the connectivity, functional basics rather than anything flashy.
