On The Job: Sprint's Super-Vibrant LG Marquee

Sprint today introduced the LG Marquee, an Android smartphone with LG's "Nova" display technology, that provides better sunlight visibility than standard Liquid crystal displays. I acquired to test one out in the center of Occasions Square, and also the Nova display lives as much as its billing.

However, the telephone. The LG Marquee is an additional black slab smartphone, of course abnormally thin and lightweight at 4.8 by 2.5 by .36 inches (HWD) and three.95 oz, but hard to choose of the crowd. I really accidentally almost stole LG's demo unit by mixing up with my very own T-Mobile G2x putting my phone down again about the desk and sliding the Marquee into my bag.

Really! It had been any sort of accident!

This news this is actually the 4-inch Nova screen, which we first saw about the LG Optimus Black in The month of january. (That phone never arrived on the scene within the U.S.)Nova is really a super-vibrant Insolvency practitioners LCD technology, like the LCD utilized on the apple iphone 4 but in a position to generate more light. Based on LG, the Marquee's 800-by-480 screen creates 700 nits of brightness, in comparison close to 500 nits about the apple iphone. LG also claims that Nova is much more energy-efficient than other screens, using less energy to create whitened pixels. Which should stretch the Marquee's battery existence.

The Marquee's true test came after i required it into Occasions Square: the screen was a lot more visible, plus much more readable compared to G2X's classical LCD. You do not begin to see the difference just as much inside, although for a photograph from the Marquee's screen alongside another smartphone inside a dark room, the Marquee is revealed to become much better.

Otherwise, you will find there's decent, respectable midrange Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" phone here. It features a 1-Ghz processor, 5-megapixel primary camera, 2-megapixel front-facing camera, a 2GB Sd card pre-installed, Wi-Fi with hotspot capacity, Gps navigation and all sorts of the typical extras. There is no 4G about the Marquee, though.

Sprint appears to become giving the Marquee a way spin, possibly marketing it to women simply due to its slim shape and lightweight weight. The company holds a launch event associated with New You are able to Fashion Week on Thursday evening we'll be there.
