The Windows Phone 7 operating system from Microsoft has proven to be popular since it came out last year, and certainly provides a great alternative to the Android and iOS devices which dominate the smartphone market. The LG Optimus 7 was one of the first handsets released to showcase this software.

In this article I will take a look at some of the benefits of this operating system for users of the LG Optimus 7.

 

One of the first things users will notice about Windows Phone 7 is the tile interface. iOS and Android display their applications in blocks of icons,A Look At The Impressive LG Optimus 7 With A 5 Megapixel Digital Camera Articles but the Windows Phone 7 interface displays them in a much more user friendly way; application and widget icons are very large, with only two fitting the width of the screen. As you can imagine, this makes it very easy for users of the LG Optimus 7 to find the application they need, and this was one of the main goals when the software was designed.   

 

Another advantage of this setup is that live updates are displayed within the icon of certain widgets. So when you unlock your LG Optimus 7 screen, you are instantly presented with the icons which will let you know whether you have new emails, social networking notifications, missed calls etc. This offers the ultimate in convenience, and saved having to open applications to check whether you have any updates.

 

Of course there is much more to the LG Optimus 7 than just the operating system. Although this is one of its major selling points, the rest of its spec list is very impressive. A 5 megapixel camera with the ability to shoot HD video in 720p is included, as is an impressive web browser which allows users to utilise both 3G and Wi-Fi networks. An advanced touchscreen provides an interactive and intuitive means of navigating the user interface, at the same time producing spectacular display quality of the onscreen imagery. The LG Optimus 7 is a very versatile phone, a statement backed up by the fact that the features included as standard range from Microsoft Office compatibility, to Xbox Live which allows users to play online games using their existing Xbox Live profile. The handset also runs a powerful 1 GHz Scorpion processor with a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset resulting in a speedy user interface, and all the computing power the device will ever need to run demanding applications.
