LG Optimus L9 review: Living large

The Optimus L9 is the latest addition to the L-series and rightfully takes charge of a lineup that's known for attractive styling and wallet-friendly prices. It obviously made no sense to LG to start from scratch and the L9 is happily reusing bits and...

No Jelly Bean at launch ; Mediocre sunlight legibility ; Poor still camera and video recording quality ; Non-hot-swappable memory card slot

LG Optimus L9 review: an affordable mid-level Android handset for T-Mobile

Just when we thought LG was done with its Optimus L-series for the year, the Korean company surprised us with the LG Optimus L9, which replaces the

Good-looking display ; WiFi calling ; Affordable

Short battery life ; Mediocre camera ; No ambient light sensor ; Carrier bloatware

At $80, the LG Optimus L9 is a decent budget Android phone, but there are better options out there.

LG Optimus L9 (MetroPCS)

The LG Optimus L9 is scarcely available, but if you can get it, it's the best MetroPCS smartphone that runs on T-Mobile's network right now.

Runs on T-Mobile's network. Nice display. Good price. Long battery life. Light and thin.

Very limited availability. No LTE.

LG Optimus L9 (T-Mobile)

The LG Optimus L9 for T-Mobile gets you a great mix of features and performance for less than $100.

Inexpensive. Attractive display. Snappy processor. Good call quality. Light and thin.

No voice dialing. Data speeds top out at HSPA+ 21. Bloatware.

Multimedia and Conclusions The Optimus L9 has 1.69GB of free internal storage, along with an empty microSD card slot underneath the battery cover. My 32 and 64GB SanDisk cards worked fine. The phone was able to play all of our audio test files, and...

LG Optimus L9 review

As the biggest and most high-end device in LG's L-series of midrange phones, the LG Optimus L9 from T-Mobile and MetroPCS , delivers just the right amount of specs and performance that make it a solid consideration without being too ambitious.

The LG Optimus L9 has a snappy dual-core CPU, 4G, Android 4.0, and a 1080p HD camera.

The Optimus L9's battery drains quickly, it has a poor audio speaker, and it comes preloaded with too much bloatware.

The reasonable $80 price tag, dual-core processor, and Android 4.0, make the LG Optimus L9 a reliable midlevel handset.

LG Optimus L9 Review (T-Mobile)

Most of us know that when it comes to smartphones , it's a constant struggle to find the right balance between power, looks, and affordability, with affordability normally losing out in the end. The problem most of the time is that the affordable...

What can I say? For a budget handset, the LG Optimus L9 impresses. In no way is the phone the best, but its sleek design, nice screen, and the fact that it runs so smooth with have you thinking otherwise. Be sure that you consider the options before...

LG Optimus L9 Review

Lost in the talk of quad-core processors and high definition displays is the launch of the Optimus L9 on T-Mobile. While it is not top-of the line, it has many great features you'd expect from a premium device such as a 4.5” IPS display and dual-core...

Sleek, comfortable design ; High quality IPS display ; Very good call quality ; Snappy performance

The 5MP camera is underwhelming ; Lacks 42Mbps support

The LG Optimus L9 brings a great budget option to T-Mobile’s lineup. It is of course not as good as the forthcoming Nexus 4, but it absolutely holds its own with similar offerings from HTC and Samsung. The 4.5” IPS display is wonderful, and the dual...

LG Optimus L9

When compared to its predecessor, the Optimus L7 , critics are quick to note that the LG Optimus L9 offers a higher quality experience. Phonescoop praises the build and manufacturing of the phone stating, "Nothing about the L9 is creaky or loose."...

Excellent viewing angles, Sturdy build quality, No lag when performing standard activities, Battery lasts 7 hours with intensive use

Only 4GB of onboard storage, Dimensions difficult for one-handed use

LG Optimus L9 Review

LG has certainly been on a roll recently. They made Google's newest Nexus smartphone, the Nexus 4, and they released their new flagship device, the Optimus G, just recently on AT&T. However, LG isn't just about the high-end game. They came out with a...

I won’t beat around the bush: For only $80, this phone performs, and if you’re looking for an extremely-thin handset that has an affordable price tag, the L9 could easily be a good choice. However, there’s still some sacrifices that you’ll have to make...
