LG:
Waterproof smartphones have become a growing trend this year, and
it is slowly turning into a feature that is not so much a bonus as it is a
requirement. Enter LG's Optimus GJ. The device is IPX7-certified to withstand
submersion of up to one meter for 30 minutes, complete with a removable back
panel and a robust 1.5GHz quad-core Krait CPU.
Sony was the first to give a flagship the IP dust-and-water
proofing treatment in the Xperia Z, and Samsung, not to be outdone, quickly
responded with a rugged version of its own Galaxy S4 - the Galaxy S4 Active. LG
is not to be outdone either.
Besides an awkward model
name, the LG Optimus GJ has got the same internals and Android build as the LG
Optimus G, which means that the user experience is, for the most part,
identical. Unfortunately, the GJ had to shed its LTE, NFC and FM antennas as well
as some of its internal storage to get the waterproofing trick to work, but LG
has made up for that by adding a microSD card slot and a beefier battery.
