Why It’s Noteworthy: Like its rival Samsung, LG is hoping there’s a big niche for giant smartphones. But compared to Samsung’s Galaxy Note, the Vu is shorter and wider, with its 4:3 screen aspect ratio. And yes, it has a pen for drawing and note-taking.
Availability: The Vu launches in Korea this March, but no word on availability elsewhere.
