LG GT540 Optimus Performance and Software

Performance and Software

Running on Android 1.6 (Donut), the LG GT540 Optimus was upgradable to Android 2.1 (Eclair), which added several improvements and more apps from the growing Android ecosystem. Powered by a 600 MHz processor and equipped with 156MB RAM, the performance was modest, primarily designed for basic tasks such as calling, texting, and light web browsing. Storage is limited to 139MB internally, but users can expand it via a dedicated microSDHC card slot, a common workaround for limited internal memory during its time.
