The specs that featured in LG Optimus VU 2 no longer considered as the high end since more devices with higher specs being introduced. 

LG Optimus VU 2 features a 5-inch display with 4:3 aspect ratio. So the display is more square compared to those 5-inch in the market. The LG Optimus VU 2 is powered by a 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 dual-core processor and 2GB of RAM. One thing bad about this LG Optimus VU 2 as it runs on the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, not Jelly Bean.

No news yet whether the LG Optimus VU 2 will be shipped with Jelly Bean preloaded or ICS. But the percentages of getting the Jelly Bean are high since the LG Optimus G launched with Jelly Bean preloaded in the global market.
