Last year LG had demonstrated Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and video calls. High definition video calls on smartphones were not possible before the introduction of LTE as 3G networks were unable to handle the volume of data at the speeds required for high quality video images.
Now, a whole new chapter in the books of LTE-networks has been written as LG has demonstrated the world’s first voice-to-video conversion over a LTE network at the MWC. The technology enables users to switch back and forth between high quality voice and high resolution video call modes during an ongoing telephone conversation. Also demonstrated was a video sharing service, which enables real-time sharing of videos over a LTE network, as they are being recorded.

Well the Vu will also be sporting a special Stylus just like the Galaxy Note.
