amazon LG Optimus L7 reviews
Hardware design
While the Samsung and HTC are going in the direction of the camera body design elongated smartphone, LG harmlessly off the new style it calls L-style with square form, the slim, lightweight, backside and screen so well. Optimus L7 has a similar form to the body, slim (8.7 mm), lightweight (122 g) and the back looks very elegant textured and help increase hand grip.
Light weight is due to the entire chassis structure, including the borders look like metal surrounds are made of plastic material. Although still feels solid in your hand, but Optimus L7 probably will not win sympathy in the proper sense of dress up.
Square model and slightly to the breadth of this phone could cause users with small hands, especially for female users, will find little difficulty when used with one hand. Optimus L7 has 67 mm width, larger than some smartphones the same size as the HTC One S (65 mm) and the Sony Xperia Arc S (63 mm).
How to sort the ports, buttons and the joystick connection of Optimus L7 nothing worth complaining. Both phones are only two buttons is the power button lock function screen cum on top of the camera and volume control buttons located on the left side. The connectors are located on the top (3.5-mm headphone jack) and the base machine (microUSB charging port and microphone).
The front of the machine with a VGA resolution camera to support video calling, a speakerphone slot and proximity sensor. This phone does not have light sensors so it has no choice automatic brightness adjustment. And below are the three familiar Android keys, two touch keys Back and Menu keys on either side of Home Hardware. The two touch keys are easy to press, sensitivity and selectively turn off or turn on the backlight.
At the back, the 5 megepixel camera and LED flash are located in the middle of the upper back, the position was filled at hand during use rather than giving the left corner on the LG Prada as 3.0.
This Smartphone supports a full range of connectivity including 3G, standards-Wi-Fi b / g / n, Wi-Fi Direct, DLNA, GPS and Bluetooth 3.0. 4G memory and storage (2.4 GB for users and external memory card slot to expand capacity).
Screen
This is the biggest advantage of the Optimus L7. While the opponents same price range usually have common screen 3.5 inches (Sony Xperia U) to 3.7 inches (Nokia Lumia 710, HTC One V), the LG phone has 4.3-inch screen to a size normally only in higher-end smartphones.
Optimus L7 IPS screen of WVGA resolution of 480 x 800 pixels with a density of 217 pixels per inch (ppi). Considering the above parameters, the resolution of this smartphone on par with the screen resolution of the Galaxy S II, but lower when compared with competing products as HTC One V (252 ppi), the Lumia 710 ( 252 ppi), Xperia U (280 ppi), and the Samsung Galaxy W (252 ppi).
In fact, we see Optimus L7 screen brightness and contrast are quite good. Although the resolution is not high, but design LCD panels placed close to the protective glass layer like on the Nokia Lumia 800 and Nokia N9 makes images and text on the Optimus L7 becomes more prominent.
However, considering the overall, 4.3 inch screen of the Optimus L7 is a significant advantage in comparison with the same products segment, especially for those who need to surf the web and play games on the phone.

Software
Optimus L7 Android 4.0, unlike the majority of other mid-range smartphone running Android 2.3 Gingerbread. If you are familiar with Android 4.0, the basic things still look the same. However, LG also introduced a number of improvements.
The first is the notification bar (Notification) allows you to sort the features you want to adjust quickly on the display.
Change the second notable is home screen is limited to only 5, not the 7 homescreen as on many other Android phones. LG also included some nice effects appear when the user moves between home screens.
In addition, large-screen virtual keyboard of the machine helps with spacious keys, easy to press even when holding the phone correctly vertically.
Software, besides a lot of options on the warehouse Google Play apps, LG also offers a separate app store called SmartWorld provides free software and charging like Samsung Apps. In addition, LG also bundled Optimus L7 software learn Office English (AntPlus Office).
Camera
Optimus L7 has a 5 megapixel main camera on the back with an LED flash light support and a VGA camera on the front for video calling support. Camera application interface intuitive, with many shooting modes (sports, sunset, night, portrait, panorama …), color effects and light to measure the brightness calibration like dedicated camera industry.
Optimus L7 features autofocus, face detection and continuous shooting mode up to 6 pictures HTC One V is similar but slower shutter speed and does not feature automatically selects the best photos. Shutter speed of the camera is also very fast, less than a second for each photo, but there is a time delay for image processing chip after shooting.
The Optimus L7 camera 5 megapixel capable of recording VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels) at 30 frames per second (fps). This is really disappointing because the same price range smartphone now support 720p recording. Not only low-resolution, video quality is not very good rotation, color dishonest as the photos but generally good enough to share with friends on YouTube or Facebook.
Performance
Optimus L7 use single-core processor 1 GHz and 512 MB RAM. HTC One V also uses a 1 GHz single-core chip of Qualcomm (MSM8255) but is sworn newer system version and the graphics processing speed faster than Optimus L7 (MSM7227A).
In performance tests, the Optimus L7 also proved weaker than the HTC One V. With Quadrant general performance tests, the Optimus L7 reach 1993 points, lower than the HTC One V (2064 points); also with a test of speed web surfing Vellamo, the LG phones also lower scores, 916 points compared to the HTC One V 1,157 points.
In actual use, the chip 1 GHz single-core processor capable of meeting the basic operations such as opening apps, switching between home screens, go to the settings of the machine or play games such Angry Birds Space. However, surfing speeds, especially when accessing Facebook on both 3G and Wi-Fi is slow, especially when compared to the Nokia Lumia 710.
Call quality was good machine. In the process of using more than a week, we do not see any problems with voice quality even when dialed and received calls.
Conclude
LG Optimus L7 is a smartphone equipped with the operating system Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with the 4.3-inch large screen, beautiful form, but the single-core processor is not strong. In this price range, you can choose more mid-range Android smartphone faster. However, if you want a cheap smartphone big screen to surf the web and play games, this is a product to meet that need.
