LG Optimus L7.
Available now.
We see a lot of black and white slabby smartphones with similar features, and the LG Optimus
L7 is just another such device that struggles to differentiate itself from the crowd.
The Optimus L7 is a tidy looking device with a 4.3" 480 x 800 pixel display, a five megapixel
camera on the back plus a front-facing VGA camera and a 1GHz CPU. There's a reasonably
large 1700 mAh battery inside, and apart from that all the usual Android features are here
such as GPS, 3.5G support, WiFi and Bluetooth. Inside is 4GB of memory (2.7GB available to
the user) and there is also a microSD slot.
Two significant things that the Optimus L7 does have in its favour are the inclusion
of Android 4.0 ICS out-of-the-box, and also a very reasonable price tag with prices starting
at €200 including tax for a SIM-free version.
LG's marketing pitch with the L-Series of Android phones is that they look expensive
but aren't, and LG seems to have largely succeeded with the Optimus L7. The L7 is just 8.7mm
thick and it weighs a pocket-friendly 121 grams.
If you are in the market for a midrange Android smartphone with a good sized display and the
latest version of Android, then the LG Optimus L7 looks like a good one to consider. It is
available widely in retailers in either white or black colours.
