Is LG set to take on the Galaxy Note with the Optimus Vu? Electotube

LG has started dropping hints about its next Android device, an oversize smartphone known as the Optimus Vu.

Aside from its name and the fact that it features an unorthodox 4:3 aspect ratio, nothing else can be gleaned from a newly uncovered YouTube video. That's not to say, however, that there are no other details to speak of.

A pair of tech blogs are separately reporting that the Optimus Vu is not only large, but also it can stand shoulder to shoulder with today's Android handsets.
