LG Optimus L3

The LG Optimus L3 is a very affordable Smartphone but you need to compromise a lot of things such as the poor screen specifications, glitch software and awful hardware. It would be better you save a little more amount and buy some better device such as...

800MHz processor, android 2.3 gingerbread, 1 GB internal memory, dual SIM, Adreno 200 Graphics GPU, 32 GB SD card support, 3.2MP camera, 3.2 inch TFT capacitive touch panel, 1500mAh Li-Ion battery, 3G support; HSDPA, JAVA, GPS, google application,...

Looks better than the average entry-level phone ; Good performance and fluid UI ; Flash Player support

Overpriced ; The screen brings tears to your eyes... literally ; Very poor camera

All in all, there's no doubt that the LG Optimus L3 is one perfectly usable handset, with no serious issues to cause problems with its operation. We do like the fact that it looks better than your average low-end affair, and it actually outperforms it...

Great design ; Palm size simplicity ; Easy user interface

Low storage ; Poor camera ; Low resolution screen

1GB internal storage ; Compact ; Intuitive UI ; Strong battery life

Terrible display ; Clunky charging port ; Uncomfortable design ; No future Android updates

Attractive looking design ; Floating" screen ; Only $99

Small, low-res display ; No Ice Cream Sandwich software

Retailing for just $99 through Telstra, the pre-paid Optimus L3 is likely to bring some much needed style to the budget end of the Android market. It's just a shame about that small, low-resolution display and the lack of Ice Cream Sandwich software.

Cheap on pay as you go ; MicroSD card slot

Tiny, awfully low-res screen ; Creaky, scratch-prone body ; Glitchy software ; Underwhelming hardware

On pay as you go, the L3 is very affordable but there are far too many corners cut to make it a worthwhile buy. A very poor screen, glitchy software and creaky hardware all but guarantee that this is the phone of no one's dreams. If you spend a little...

Low asking price ; Long battery life

Good performance from the processor ; Screen is very poor ; Camera isn't much to write home about ; Uses an old version of Android

Android 2.3 might be an old interface compared tot he latest Android 4.0 and Android Jelly Bean operating systems, but it still does a great job. It has multiple homescreens you can use to place your favourite apps and social network shortcuts to make...

The Optimus L3’s screen isn’t the best by a long shot. That is to be expected from a low budget device. Its 240 x 320 pixel resolution is rather average, and doesn’t fair too well in bright conditions either. The amount of glare makes it difficult to...

The LG Optimus L3 is an easy to use smartphone that will suit many needs. It has a great battery life, can download apps and delivers a decent web browsing experience, but that doesn’t stop it being distinctly average in every other area.
