L9 is the
newest model in smartphone L series of LG. It is attractive because it has
beautiful design, strong configuration, large screen with 4.7 inches.
Design and screen
At
present, Optimus L9 is smartphone that has the biggest touch screen in the same
series.
Metal
border surrounds smartphone will create a feeling of luxury.
Pressing
button is put near smartphone’s body, but it is easy to use.
In the front face, extra camera, asymptote sensor
and speaker are put above. Asymptote sensor and front camera are moved to the
right part of speaker. It doesn’t lie on 2 sides of the speaker, so it is
different to other L series types. 3 control buttons of smartphone are put
under. Back button is a hard key; Back button and Setting button are put at 2
sides and they have touch form.
Smartphone’s
cover has round grains that can help us hand it stably and prevent starch.
We
can use it by one hand because it is thin with only 9.1mm.
At present L9 is the medium smartphone that
has the biggest screen in the market. It has screen with big size (4.7inches),
but its resolution only gains standard qHD 540x960 pixels. Therefore, display
result is not too smooth. However, Optimus L9’s screen has high luminosity and
it displays under strong light source well. But it is similar to other
smartphones that belong to L series types, it doesn’t have auto adjustment mode
to light, so it is inconvenient in some cases. LG has high-ranking LCD IPS
screen that helps product has large view with real colors. Its price is $371,
L9’s design and screen may be a good choice to users.
Features
Optimus L9 runs with LCD IPS operating system
and Optimus UI 3.0 configuration of LG. Users are allowed arranging applications,
buttons to turn off or Widget with maximum rate: 5 main screens. Effects are
smooth and rather beautiful when we change pages.
Quick
Memo feature
LG Optimus L9 has Quick Memo feature that
is similar to 4X HD and Vu. It helps users be able to take note quickly from
any application. Users can also access Quick Memo by pressing on the middle
part of button that increases or decreases volume or by informing bar on the
top. Quick Memo is rather convenient when it is method to shoot screen by using
LG smartphone.
Quick Translator is another interesting
application of LG Optimus. This application helps transfer language quickly and
it supports with 40 languages. It processes through 3G or Wi-Fi connection.
Quick Translator can translate with line or word and you only need to use
camera and sweep on the part that is needed to translate. Process of handling
and translating takes places quickly. Moreover, users can download more Google
Play dictionary to support for translating process.
In the foreign market, Optimus was declared
that it was supported with 5-megapixel camera. Smartphone’s camera allows
recording Full HD standard film. Its quality of video is not as impressed as
expensive models. For shooting, Optimus 9 creates good quality of images;
however, it is similar to other smartphones of LG and it tends to have residual
light. In addition, its details are not sharp. When we use it to publish on
social network, store normally or share with friends, its quality is rather good.
Besides the function about adjusting
parameter like a digital camera, Optimus L9 is also integrated to shoot with
the whole panorama scenery. Especially, L9 can take photograph by voice and
this thing is rather interesting. When users say words that have “i” in the
middle such as cheese, LG, hihi…, they can take photographs quickly and simply.
Smartphone is sensible in processing, so it can take photograph quickly. According
to evaluations about features, Optimus L9 is the smartphone that can respond to
users’ entertaining demand well.
Performance
L9 can operate smoothly with some
applications such as surfing web or taking photograph… because it is equipped
with 1 GHz dual core processing chip and RAM 1GB, runs with Android 4.0
operating system and Optimus UI 3.0 configuration. Smartphone can run well with
game applications that need strong graphic. However, sometimes, it has
phenomenon that images are shocked. It can connect with 3G and Wi-Fi quickly
and stably.
Benchmark
grade is 2,690 grades.
Benchmark grade is 2,690 grades. It is
higher than Desire X of HTC that has the same part. It also receives 10 grades
about quickness and smoothness.
Grade
of NenaMark graphic is also higher than this medium model.
Users can often connect with 3G to surf on
web or social network and overall mail can use it in one day because smartphone
uses battery with SiO technology and 2.150 mAh capacity that is similar to
other high-ranking models. In addition, it also has mode for Eco best usage. If
you adjust to 3G or Wi-Fi connection and screen’s light, you can use smartphone
continuously in 2 days. Battery duration is an impressed advantage of LG
Optimus L9, so it is better than other smartphones that have the same part in
market about this thing.
