LG VU III rumored to have a 5.2-inch 4:3 display and a Snapdragon 800

Ah yes, the phone that just won’t go away. Sometimes you have to wonder why companies insist on producing products that no one wants. Take the LG Optimus Vu for instance.  It was the only phone to feature a 4:3 display. LG thought it was great for magazines and Web browsing, but the phone was too big. Nobody was interested in it, but that didn’t stop them from making a second edition, which again, nobody bought. Will the third time be a charm? Most likely not. The only real difference this time will be better specs and the “Optimus” name is dropped.

Word out of Korea is the Vu III will feature a 5.2-inch (1280 x 960) 4:3 display, a Snapdragon 800 SoC, 13MP camera, and suport for 150Mbps LTE-Advanced networks. I would expect to see it announced during next month’s IFA Conference, and it could be available in South Korea by the end of September. Is anyone excited for this? With the G2 coming out soon, why would anyone buy this?
