With Android 2.3 operating system, LG
Optimus L3 has full features of entertainment and work. Android Market and LG
Smart World application stores exclusively offer users hundreds of different
software and most of them are free. Located in smartphone range with common
price, around 150USD, but LG mobile phone is still equipped with full
connections.
With
3G and Wi-Fi, Optimus L3 can surf the web quite fast.
The model comes with 3.5G connection with
HSDPA standard for 3.6MB download speed per second, along with Wi-Fi. Actual
test shows that the ability to connect the internet of Optimus L3 is quite
good. It takes about 8 to 9 seconds to download a standard website, but just 2 to
3 seconds with mobile version of the web. This small smartphone of LG is also
able to provide mobile Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi Hospot) as well as common Bluetooth
connectivity.
Traditionally, Optimus L3 is equipped with
graphic Optimus UI interface changed and re-designed compared to the original
interface of Android 2.3, so it gives users large and colorful icons which are
more convenient. LG also adds new Widgets allowing users to access and update
information on the home screen.
Karaoke
application on LG Optimus L3
Like its senior, LG Optimus L3 is
integrated applications to link social networks, Google Maps, Youtube and mail
management applications for work. However, the most interesting is that this
model also has Karaoke application on mobile phone, Ping Karaoke. It is an application
that entertains users by singing on the cell phone.
Ping Karaoke is designed simply but it is
quite useful when it allows recording directly songs to the memory card.
Besides that, music store is arranged tidily in genres including Vietnamese and
foreign songs. It has high quality and plays music like karaoke services on the
computer, which help it appeal to users.
In addition, LG Optimus L3 is also equipped
with usual entertainment features such as music, movies or photos with 1GB of
internal memory and expandable memory card up to 32GB. 3-megapixel camera is
located on the back of LG Optimus L3 but there is no flash.
Camera can boot and capture rapidly. It is
integrated shooting modes such as “portrait”, “landscape” or “sport” with auto
focus mode. However, because it lacks of flash and the screen has low
resolution and supports fewer colors, photos displaying on the mobile phone are
not brilliant and beautiful though sharpness and noise reduction is acceptable
with that price.

Furthermore, film recording feature on LG
Optimus L3 is not impressive due to the low resolution. Recorded videos have
640 x 480 pixel actual resolution and 24 frames per second.
Performance and battery
Being over 150USD, LG Optimus L3 is
equipped with common configuration using 800 MHz processor, 384MB of RAM.
Experimenting with Quadrant Standard Benchmark, it offers nearly 1,300
marks.

In fact, LG Optimus L3 is the popular
smartphone that can work quite well over the price. On the home screen or
system management interface, when users drag or slide, the phone is not lagged
but it runs transition effects smoothly. When surfing the web, entering data or
accessing to third-party applications, the phone has short response time, low
and absolutely acceptable lateness.
The shortcoming of the phone is that it can
handle most 2D games well such as Angry Bird, Plant vs Zombie but it
can’t definitely process high-quality graphic 3D games such as Mordern
Combat and Asphalt 6. Testing with moderate graphic 3D games such as
Fruit Ninja, the cheap model of LG runs quite well; images are soft and
it is hardly lagged. If you can select suitable software, LG Optimus L3 is the
Android smartphone whose configuration can meet the demand well over the price.
It
has long battery duration.
With a small screen, low resolution and
common configuration, LG Optimus L3 can operate quite long compared with many
Android smartphone, because of 1.540 mAh battery. Setting up 3G connection,
opening mail sync function, connecting to social networks, LG phone allows
users to use it continuously during one day. Turning into EGDE connection, the
battery duration continue increasing and users can use it in 2 days.
