On the heels of its debut in Korea and Japan, the Optimus Vu: will make its global debut starting in select markets in Europe, Asia, Middle East/Africa and Latin America starting in September.

The smartphone features a 5-inch 4:3 aspect ratio IPS display, and according to LG, it has sold over 500,000 units since its March debut in Korea.

For the global roll-out, the Optimus Vu: will be equipped with NVIDIA Tegra 3 mobile processor, the 4-PLUS-1 quad-core with 5th battery-saver core. 4 cores are used for high performance tasks such as games and multitasking. For voice call, email, music and video playback, only 5th battery-saver core is enabled and it consumes less power.

The Optimus Vu: will come with an upgraded version of QuickMemo and Notebook, two features which make great use of the large display real estate.
