LG Optimus L3 has square style. Four edges of the mobile phone are surrounded by metal layer which is brighter and more outstanding than black tone of the whole phone. This design helps LG Optimus L3 become stunning and attractive compared with other small models in the same price range. Besides that, metal edges also help the phone become firmer and sturdier when holding. There is no any Android phone that can do this at common price.

The front of LG Optimus L3 is a multi-touch screen with the hard Home button underlying with touch Menu and Back keys. There is a speaker above with a logo. There is not secondary camera as well as notification LED. Basically, the phone is quite balanced and suitable for holding and controlling on the touch screen.

On the side of the phone, LG did not put many details, but instead, there is only a simple flat black button to control the volume. There is no button in the left side while the top of the phone is the place for headphone jack and power button. MicroUSB port for connecting and charging battery is located in the bottom.

Description: The back is plastic layer with sophisticated design. Unlike other cheap smartphones, it is divided into different details

The back is a commendable point in the design of LG Optimus L3. Using plastic with embossed modern patterns brings firm and strong feeling, as well as increases the aesthetic of the product. 3.0 megapixel camera is designed carefully with a metal strip surrounded though there is no flash to support light.

LG Optimus L3 possesses a 3.2-inch screen, a size which is large enough for users to manipulate the multi-touch screen, surf the web or watch movies…However, the shortcoming of LG Android model is the low resolution, only 240 x 320 pixel and the display capability is just 265,000 colors so images are not sharp when we look closely and colors are also not lively. However, when surfing the web and reading text, the actual display capability of L3 is pretty good.
