LG Optimus L5 is one of the representatives of the L-Style line. This gadget takes place exactly in the middle between the budget option LG Optimus L3 and the more expensive Optimus L7. Therefore, we can say that this particular model will win the hearts of more people, because it harmoniously combines stylish and laconic design, as well as excellent performance.

Design

The gadget is fully consistent with its model range and therefore looks stylish and strict. High-quality plastic was used as the material for the smartphone body. On the front panel there is protective glass, protecting the device from scratches and damage. Below, on the front part there are standard buttons: “back”, “home” and “menu”. The space above the display is occupied by a speaker protected by an internal mesh. The headphone input and power button can be found on the top edge. And the bottom end is occupied by a microUSB connector and a microphone. The left side “sheltered” the volume rocker, but the right side remained absolutely clean. The camera, flash and two audio speakers are located on the rear panel. By removing the back cover you can find the battery, under which there is a SIM card slot. Overall, the LG Optimus L5 is built very well and reliably. No cracks, defects or play were found. The smartphone feels comfortable and pleasant in the hand, and thanks to the smaller display diagonal compared to the L7, it is also very comfortable to operate. The gadget is presented in traditional colors – black and white.

Display

LG Optimus L5 has a four-inch diagonal display, TFT matrix and a resolution of 320 by 480 pixels. Therefore, the user will still see some graininess, but even with such characteristics the screen shows a good picture. The device has wide viewing angles and very high brightness, which allows you to use the gadget on a sunny day. Glass Gorilla Glass acts as a protective barrier against various types of scratches and damage.

Performance

The hardware is fully compatible budget options smartphones. The “iron heart” is Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7225A and boasts neither clock speed nor number of cores this processor absolutely cannot: one core and 0.8 GHz. There is also not a lot of RAM - 512 MB, and not a lot of built-in memory - 4 GB. However, the user can increase this volume using memory cards. If we translate all these numbers into ordinary speech, then we can safely say that this gadget is definitely not suitable for modern games and videos on the Internet, but these characteristics are sufficient for solving work tasks, listening to music and general surfing the Internet. For a non-demanding user this is quite enough.

Camera

5 megapixels, autofocus and LED flash are the only things the LG Optimus L5 can boast of. Despite such a small set, the camera still allows you to take fairly good pictures that are distinguished by excellent detail. If you look at the pictures not on the phone screen, but on the computer, the pictures look even brighter and more contrasty. Regarding the camera in this smartphone, that is, two minuses: lack front camera and a hardware key that allows you to call the camera.

Autonomous operation

The gadget has a removable Li-Ion battery capacity 1540 mAh. This is enough for the smartphone to last for two days without recharging with moderate use. In talk mode, the LG Optimus L5 will last about ten hours, and if you leave it turned on somewhere on a shelf and not use it at all, the charge will last for a whole month.

Bottom line

Overall, the smartphone turned out quite good. There are no frills or bells and whistles in it. It is simple and easy to use and does a great job with the basic functions of any phone. This model ideal for those who are just getting to know the world touch phones or for those who do not care about powerful and modern functionality.

Probably the most competitive segment of the smartphone market today is the segment in which devices operating under operating system control are located. Android systems. One of such devices is which will be discussed in this article in different sections.

The competition that was mentioned does not allow many models to stand out from their competitors absolutely advantageously only due to technical characteristics. That is why the emphasis lately has been placed not so much on equipment, but on the original, comfortable and practical design and, of course, the price of the device.

LG began to adhere to this concept. Its employees decided that the key that would allow them to succeed in the market would be the attractive appearance of the LG L5 smartphone, the characteristics of which will be given below. The result of the work of the company’s engineers was a line called “L-Style”. It includes three devices: Optimus L3, Optimus L7 and LG L5. Its characteristics have been improved compared to the younger device, and this, in fact, will be discussed in the article.

Dimensions

The size in all 3 planes is as follows: it is 118.3 mm in height, 66.5 mm in width, and 9.5 mm in thickness. The weight of the device is 123 grams.

A look on the edge

On the front side there is a telephone conversation it will respond to the position of the device relative to the head of the speaker in order to automatically turn the display backlight on and off. There, on the front panel, is the company logo, the main speaker, and also has a 4-inch diagonal. It is worth noting that the screen has a very good resolution for such a diagonal of the LG L5. The characteristics of the display will be discussed in more detail later, but for now we will evaluate the design of the smartphone.

The front panel also includes standard keys found in the Android operating system. These are “Menu” and “Back”, which are made in the form of touch buttons, as well as “Home” (physical type).

The left side contains volume keys. There are no keys or inputs on the opposite panel.

As usual, at the top end there is a jack for a 3.5 mm wired headset, and at the bottom end there is an input for charging the device. In our case it is MicroUSB. With its help, you can also connect the device to a personal computer.

If you pay attention to the back edge, you can find a camera there. Its resolution is 5 megapixels. It also has auto focus and LED flash. We will also talk about the LG Optimus L5 E612 camera, the characteristics of which are rated as average.

There is another speaker on the rear panel. Its design is a little unconventional: it is divided by a kind of bridge. It ensures that the device is pressed to the surface. And this, in turn, allows the sound not to be delayed or reflected, but to pass through calmly.

With some effort, you can remove the back cover. Below it is a slot for a flash drive, a slot for a SIM card, and a battery. When pressing the touch keys, the user of the device will not feel vibration, because in fact there is no vibration. And this is perhaps the first drawback of the LG Optimus L5 E612 smartphone. The characteristics indicate that the vibration response of the keys for this model is inactive. And users often note that it obviously wouldn’t hurt.

It is quite difficult to judge the appearance of the device. It may appeal to some people and not to others at the same time. It’s impossible to please everyone, so in the case of this model we can only talk about the relativity of design. But nevertheless, many note that, although the smartphone has a fairly strict appearance, it doesn’t look budget-friendly at all.

Build quality

The device is constructed quite well. It is impossible to notice any backlash or any creaks in it. His back cover It has a textured surface, which allows the smartphone not to slip out. In addition, the texture allows you to hide rubbing and scratches. The only thing that may alert users is the plastic edging of the LG Optimus L5. The characteristics of this material indicate that the edging may peel off during many months of use.

LG L5 Dual: display specifications

The first acquaintance can please the user this phone. Indeed, the screen is not that small, and the color reproduction seems to be on high level. However, impressions are quickly forgotten during the operation of the model. Time passes, and they are replaced by a constant accounting of the device’s shortcomings.

First of all, such shortcomings of the screen include the relatively low density of dots per inch. It is only 144. You can get used to this. But you will never be able to come to terms with viewing angles that are, in fact, simply disgusting.

This will not be a problem for the average LG Optimus L5 user. The characteristics suggest that when performing a standard set of tasks, viewing angles that introduce aberrations into images are invisible. However, this will be very clear when playing on the phone. You can completely forget about playing normally in applications where you need to tilt the device. The picture will simply fade out. But the responsiveness of the screen can really please people who purchased this phone model. The display accepts up to 5 simultaneous touches.

Camera

What was not expected from the device good quality pictures. However, even this managed to surprise users of the LG L5 E612. The specification indicates only 5 megapixels, but the photos do look quite sharp. With sufficient lighting, of course. In general, the price-quality ratio was unambiguously maintained here.

In the case of video, things are a little worse. The resolution will be only 640 by 480 pixels (this is the maximum). If it were not for problems in management, then, in principle, such a shortcoming could be forgotten.

Nutrition

It's no secret that many devices running the Android operating system cannot work all day without recharging if they are not in use. third party programs. Yes, and they, in fact, extend the time for a short time battery life. But LG Optimus 5 coped with this problem.

It has 1540 mAh. If you believe the manufacturers' words, the operating time can be almost 10 hours. This is about continuous conversation. In standby mode, the device can remain “one click to connect” for up to 900 hours.

Many experts who tested the smartphone noted that the numbers were actually confirmed. If you enable all modules on the device wireless communication, set the screen backlight to maximum and start playing video continuously, then the device can last 9.5 hours.

Ordinary users will be able to squeeze two days of work out of the model without recharging. In this case, you can exchange with average intensity text messages and make phone calls.

LG Optimus L5 Dual: characteristics and conclusion

Well, in terms of design, the device gets a solid B. The characteristics of autonomous operation also receive the same rating. If we look at the technical equipment, we can give it a solid three, and the camera also deserves four points on a five-point scale.

New touch smartphone Android platform and with large display 4 inches diagonal, 480 x 320 pixels. The E612 smartphone is powered by a powerful 800 MHz Cortex A5 processor and latest version operating system Android 4.0. The technical characteristics of the LG Optimus L5 E612 include the following features: powerful accumulator battery 1500 mAh that supports the phone with a talk time of up to 10 hours and 900 hours of standby time, 3 GB of internal memory, support wireless networks WiFi, 5 MP camera with flash. The E612 smartphone is distinguished by its thin 9.5 mm thick body and original L5-style design. Optimus L5 E612 users have the opportunity to use their smartphone as a real navigator; thanks to CityGuide 7 you can avoid traffic jams, look for quick and convenient routes, learn about speed cameras and save a lot of time.

This smartphone was announced at Mobile World Congress in February. He, like other representatives of the line L-Style smartphones, has an original design that attracts attention.

The Optimus L5 smartphone belongs to the mid-price segment of the mobile phone market.

The body is made of plastic and metal, and their combination is simply wonderful, so the smartphone has a modern, elegant and non-standard appearance.

The assembly from LG is excellent: there are no creaks or play during operation.

Located on the front side touch screen with control keys, and on the back there is a camera. In general, there is nothing unusual in this regard.

It can be noted that the device is quite ergonomic, and the material from which the smartphone is made is very pleasant to the touch.

Size – 118.3x66.5x9.9 mm.

Processor and OS

The smartphone is powered by a processor with clock frequency 800 MHz, which is quite small in modern times. But, if you consider that the device has 1 GB of RAM, then the performance should not be low.

This also confirms operating system, on which the smartphone operates, Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich, which is very resource-demanding. But, when familiarizing ourselves with the operation of the smartphone, no significant “freezes and hesitations” were noticed. That is, the processor copes quite well with this operating system.

Memory

As we already mentioned, the smartphone has 1 GB of RAM. The built-in flash memory available to users in the LG Optimus L5 is also 1 GB, but it can be expanded using (the maximum volume is 32 GB).

Screen

The device is equipped with a 4-inch display made using TFT technology. Unfortunately, it is worth noting that the screen resolution is very low for modern smartphones - only 320x480 pixels. Therefore, the image on the screen does not make much of an impression.

Camera

The LG Optimus L5 has a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and autofocus. The maximum image resolution that the camera allows you to take is 2560x1920 pixels.

As some Western media report, the camera can shoot video in HD format.

The smartphone also has a VGA camera for video communication.

Multimedia capabilities

The smartphone comes with a pre-installed audio player that supports major audio recording formats. There is also a video player that works with the following formats: MPEG-4, H.263 and H.264.

Communication capabilities

There is support for basic communication standards, including Internet access - GPRS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth.

There is a built-in html browser and e-mail client.

Battery

The smartphone has a Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 1500 mAh, but with a processor with a clock frequency of only 800 MHz, the “battery” should last for a long time.

Price

The price of the LG Optimus L5 smartphone has not yet been announced, apparently this will be done closer to the release, which should take place in April. Now we can only assume that if the device belongs to the mid-price segment, then it will cost about 15,000 rubles.
