LG Optimus L3 Review

LG mobiles have been working pretty hard to make its portfolio more enhanced and impressive than other mobile companies in the market. The Optimus range smartphones from LG Mobiles have been quite successful and to make the range stronger and better, the company is here with LG Optimus L3. This is an Android smartphone comprising of impressive and user friendly features. This smartphone might give a direct competition to handsets like Samsung Galaxy Ace, Motorola Defy, and Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray etc.

Starting with the main features, LG Optimus L3 is blessed with a striking 3.2 inches of TFT capacitive touch screen that has a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. The screen is perfect for viewing images and watching videos. This multi touch screen has impressive functionality, which is quite hassle-free. Under the skin, LG Optimus L3 is blessed with a dynamic processor clocked at the speed of 800 MHz. this processor is powered by Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS, which in turn will give the user a complete right to use Google Play Store (earlier known as Android Market). To enhance the workability and performance of the OS, 348 MB of RAM is present. As far as internal memory space is concerned, LG mobiles has blessed LG Optimus L3 with 1 GB of internal memory storage that can be used for storing massive amount of data like videos, movies, songs, mp3 files, games, applications etc. if this memory is not sufficient for the user, the microSD card slot comes as a savior. This microSD card slot supports up to 32 GB of microSD memory card.

The camera department of LG Optimus L3 is also a strong point for the device. The smartphone comes with 3.15 megapixels of camera with geo-tagging and autofocus facilities. This rear camera could capture decent quality videos, but due to lack of secondary camera, LG mobiles might have to suffer a loss of some revenue as every other smartphone these days features dual camera support. The connectivity features of LG Optimus L3 are also impressive. The user is given the option to connect to internet by the means of 3G, GPRS/EDGE support and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g. what is more interesting here is that the device can be easily turned into a Wi-Fi hotspot. On the other hand, high-speed data transmission to other matching devices is also possible via Bluetooth and Micro USB port. All in all, LG Optimus L3 is an affordable Android smartphone that sports user-friendly and technically sound features and is available at a very competitive price.

Overall Review

LG Optimus L3 is a rather smart choice. At the price of an entry-level phone, one can taste the sweetness of most desirable design pattern in LG Optimus L3. It has a typical squarish-kind of design with textured back and rectangular metallic frame around a tacky plastic shell case. The Optimus L3 fits in the palm easily due to its small size but is quite thick (measures 11.7mm). The specifications on the Otpimus L3 are the standard one only. It has an 800MHz processor, 3 megapixels camera and runs on Android Gingerbread OS but don’t forget that all that alluring concoction comes at dirt cheap price also. This LG handset will come in a range of colors to attract as many buyers as possible. It manages to do all the standard jobs very quickly and for a first time smartphone user or somebody on a tight budget; it is a damn good option.
