LG Optimus L7

LG is making much effort to work on the design of its smart phones of late – first there was the very sexy Prada Phone 3.0, and then the stylish L series of handsets. Then there was the Optimus L3, which despite being a budget-price phone, boasted a very attractive chassis. The big brother of the L-series is the latest Optimus L7, which has more power, a larger display and yet is a slender and good-looking phone to boot.

It’s easy to see that LG has concentrated on the handset’s design. The chassis is slim and solid, and feels classy thanks to that front covered in glass. It also resists scuff well.The single-core chip is not always up to the task of running Ice Cream Sandwich, or surfing the net – and it can’t compete with the futureproofing provided by a dual-core processor.
