| LG Optimus L3 black deals |
If you're looking for a mid-range or
budget Android with Hollywood good-looks, then you'd be remiss if you
didn't consider the LG Optimus L range of phones. There are actually
three of them, but we're going to be reviewing the two extremes here:
the least expensive L3 and the most expensive L7. You can find some
good phone deals on both of them out there.

So clearly these phones are not
intended to be in direct competition. They're more like squabbling
brothers. As with real siblings though, you get to know more about
each of them by knowing them together (yes, we can get pretty deep
here) so we think that the comparison is going to be useful. And we
think you might be surprised by the results as well. If that's
enough of an intro, let's get started.
- Display. With smart phones being such a visual experience as much as anything, we'll start off with the display. The L3 has a 3.2 in. screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels while the L7 has a 4.3 in. screen with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. In both cases, the resolutions are a little low for the size of the screen. However with the L3 having a screen over an inch smaller, its resolution is not actually as bad as the L7's. Which is not to say that either are ugly, but actually it is the smaller screen which delivers better colours and crispness.

The L3 has a single-core 800MHz chip, while the L7 has a single-core 1GHz chip. So that makes the L7 the faster phone, right? Well, actually, no. Yes it has a more powerful processor, but it also has a much bigger screen and runs a later version of Android (Ice Cream Sandwich to the L3's Gingerbread). The result is that the L3 feels nippy, whereas the L7 feels slow and unresponsive at times.- Android. Both are Android phones of course, but as mentioned the L3 runs Gingerbread while the L7 runs Ice Cream Sandwich. Again this is a case of the latter looking better on paper, but the L3's Gingerbread OS works better with its processing power than the L7's works with Ice Cream Sandwich. That's despite the fact that the L7 doesn't come with all of ICS's features, such as face unlock, but that is promised in an update.
- Design. Both phones have a good build quality, and they are also both very handsome. Indeed that is one of the main selling points, and reasons for bringing this series of phones out. It is for those people who want a good looking phone without having to pay for all of the top of the range specs that can make smart phones so expensive.
- Camera. The LG Optimus L3 only has a 3 megapixel camera, which is pretty bad even for budget Androids these days. The L7 comes with a much more respectable 5MP camera and can record video with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels.
- Storage. To store all of your pictures and videos (not to mention everything else) you're going to need some storage space. The L3 only comes with 1GB internal storage, to the L7's 4GB. However in both cases you can stick a microSD card in there and bump it up by an additional 32GB if you want to.
Summary
With the L7 being the top of this range
of phones you would think that it would be the best of the bunch
however, although it has the best specs, the L3 actually tends to
perform better for what it is.
We wouldn't really recommend the L3
over the L7 though, they're not in the same league, but if you're
looking for a good looking budget Android and you don't mind small
screens, you should definitely check out LG Optimus L3 black monthlycontract deals. Or LG Optimus L3 white deals of course.
On the other hand if you're looking for
a mid range Android with a big screen, and you can tolerate a little
bit of sluggishness getting around, then it's worth considering LGOptimus L7 black deals. Or, again, LG Optimus L7 white monthly contract deals.
