Special-edition LG Optimus Black creates Pop Art with Keith Haring

LG teams-up with the Keith Haring Foundation to release a range of special-edition LG Optimus Black handsets, one of the world`s slimmest and lightest Android smartphones. LG Optimus Black is already a hit, having recorded more than two million pre-orders in 20 countries since its introduction at CES. The partnership will see artwork from the legendary American pop artist featured on LG’s Optimus Black, which at just 6 mm (at its thinnest point) and 109 grams, takes the crown as the world’s slimmest and lightest Android-powered smartphone. Besides its incredibly slim body, the LG Optimus Black features a 4-inch NOVA display for optimal brightness and readability under any lighting conditions. The crystal-clear display also provides a more natural web browsing experience by displaying truer whites while simultaneously cutting energy consumption by 50 percent compared to conventional LCDs. In addition, the LG Optimus Black includes a collection of smart features designed to improve the user experience, such as Gesture UI, Wi-Fi Direct and a 2MP front-facing camera. Other features include the world’s first 2 megapixel front-facing camera and Android 2.3 upgrade capability.

The LG Optimus Black will be available in black, white and other color variations in select European markets next month. Visitors to the Mobile World Congress 2011 will be able to see first-hand the Keith Haring LG Optimus Black from February 14 to 17.
