The world needs another 4G, LTE, 5-inch smartphone like the LG Intuition. Come 15 September (the date of the LG Intuition press pack shots), that itch will be scratched.

The LG Optimus Vu, now renamed LG Intuition will launch on the US Verizon network for US$200. For just under US$200, the 5-inch LG Intuition is pretty much in direct comparison to Samsung’s 5.3-inch Galaxy Note which sells for roughly US$550.

LG’s Intuition, with its 1.5-Ghz CPU could possibly take the Note to task, but since there’s been no mention of screen resolution or other added features, we can only base the comparison on CPU alone. Let’s hope it makes a mark in this busy phablet landscape.
