As I told you before having “mini” versions of your flagship phone is becoming a new trend this year at MWC. LG has officially announced the LG Mini (LG GD880) phone today and I had the chance to get some hands on action with the device. First of this is a featurephone, not a smartphone but it does look pretty nice. The build quality is really high and the handset feels really solid in your hand. The Mini sport a 3.2″ capacitive touchscreen (pinch to zoom works as you can see in the video, but it’s a bit sow..). It’s got a dedicated Facebook & Twitter client and a an HTML5 compatible WebKit based browser. On the back you’ll find a 5Mpx camera with AF. I still don’t know what is the screen resolution though.
