If you're into high strangeness in the mobile realm, you'd be wise to check out the video of the Optimus Vu that LG just posted -- just follow the break. While our Korean translation skills aren't quite up to par, we've been able to decipher that this boxy number packs a 5-inch touchscreen and a rather unique 4:3 aspect ratio. The telltale capacitive touch buttons reveal this as an Android device, which the Korean manufacturer suggests is more comfortable to hold than traditional portrait-based solutions. It'll be interesting to see what this means for application compatibility, but for the moment, we're going to keep digging for more specs.

We've stumbled upon an image from Datacider that purports to be a shot of the Optimus Vu in the wild. They've also included a smattering of specs, which include a 1.5GHz Qualcomm APQ8060 SoC, 1GB RAM, 8GB ROM, NFC, an eight megapixel camera and Android 2.3.

Why wouldn't this be running ICS? I would think new android devices would be shipping with the latest version of android.

Didn't you know? Google likes to screw-up the customers.

It will obviously get ICS, after 6 to 8 months but nothing after that.

LG software support is ****. Advice : DONT BUY FROM LG.

It isn't just LG. Its the same with all of them

LG is worse then others. At least HTC and Samsung gave a good sized list of phones getting ICS.
