The user will be much more comfortable to work with the device in low light. On the back of the device there is a flash, a main camera, a speaker, as well as logos.
Virtually all external elements have been transferred.manufacturer on the upper end of the device. This decision was made because of the gap located on the bottom of the device and designed to remove the back cover. A USB connector, a headphone jack, an extra microphone and a power button were placed on top. The right side of the device is empty, and the left, has become a "shelter" volume control and a special key responsible for activating the reading of information from the acceleration sensor.
To call the P970 model attractive is impossible.Appearance is completely inconspicuous and gray. However, the ordinary design hides powerful hardware by the standards of 2011. Do not forget about the build quality of the phone.
Screen
Especially does not stand out and display LG P970 Optimusblack Characteristics are quite expected from the old device. The size of the display is only 4 inches, which has long been no surprise. Although it should be noted the presence of IPS-matrix. Small and resolution in the device - only 800 by 480 pixels.
Image quality in the Optimus black LG P970 notcauses delight. User may notice pixels. This is especially striking in small icons. However, the screen can not be called bad.
