The LG Optimus One, released in October 2010, is LG's second phone in the Optimus series. Due to network differences between carriers, LG created a sub-series with carrier-specific variants based on the Optimus One.

  • LG Optimus Chic, with different hardware design plus improved digital camera and modem
  • LG Optimus Net, with an improved 800 MHz single-core processor
  • LG Optimus Sol, with an improved 1 GHz single-core processor

The LG Optimus G branding was introduced for LG's high-end devices in 2012. In 2013, after releasing two devices carrying the Optimus G branding, future products dropped the Optimus brand entirely in favor of just G.[2][3]

Windows Phone

LG only released two LG Optimus phones with the Windows Phone operating system, compared to 20 unique Android smartphones. The first of these was the LG Optimus 7, released in November 2010. It was followed by the LG Quantum, alternatively Optimus 7Q or Optimus Quamtum, a variant with a physical keyboard.
