Yesterday, LG unveiled its 5-inch Optimus Vu tabletphone in South Korea.

The Optimus Vu has a 5-inch (1024×768) IPS display (4:3), powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of DDR2 memory and a 32GB eMMC storage. The LTE device also has 2 cameras (a 1.3MP front-facing and a rear 8MP with AF LED flash), HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) and supports DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance).

The tablet-smartphone also features a stylus-like Rubberdium pen, a unique built-in QuickClip hotkey (which lets you capture screenshots and memos) and is pre-loaded with Polaris Office (for openning documents, spreadsheets and presentations).

The Optimus Vu comes with a 2,080mAh battery and its dimension are 139.6 x 90.4 x 8.5mm.  It runs on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), but will probably get an update to ICS after being launched.
