LG Optimus Vu spotted alongside Samsung Galaxy Note

Most of you guys might already be aware of the LG Optimus Vu. For those unfamiliar, the Vu is pretty much LG’s answer to the Samsung Galaxy Note, meaning that we can expect to see a 5” display that manages to blur the line between smartphone and tablet. Now if you’ve ever wondered how it compares to the Galaxy Note as far as its physical design is concerned, a leaked photo (as pictured) above gives us a better idea of what we can expect when the device is launched.

Unlike the Galaxy Note, the Vu appears to feature sharper edges and based purely on its looks, it seems like it could be more uncomfortable to hold. However that’s not really a fair basis of comparison since we haven’t actually gotten our hands on the device yet, but what do you guys think? Physically would you prefer the Galaxy Note or the Vu? For the more spec-minded, the Vu is said to run on a 1.5GHz Qualcomm processor with 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, sport an 8MP rear-facing camera, support for NFC and will run on Android 2.3 Gingerbread on board.
