Even though the LG’s smartphones don’t really get so much attention just like what Samsung and HTC receive for their Samsung GALAXY S III and HTC One series, LG still has its pride in the smartphone market and it’s from the LG Optimus L series. This time, LG has an interesting offer for those of you who are looking for a mid-end Android device at affordable price tag without any contract whatsoever to sign.

LG Optimus L5 is the one I

’m talking about and it is now sold for only $199 on Canadian carrier named Bell and just like what I’ve already mentioned earlier, this phone can be bought off-contract.

Anyway, if this is your first time meeting with this smartphone (just like me),

LG Optimus L5 is a mid-end smartphone that is equipped with 4-inch display

 with screen resolution of 320x480 pixels (also with low pixel density of 144 ppi), 800MHz single-core processor, Adreno 200 GPU, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage with an expandable microSD car slot for up to 32GB, 5MP rear-facing snapper with AF support and LED flash, 1540mAh battery and it comes with Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich pre-installed. Pretty decent specs for $199 price tag, huh?

And for your information (with nice tone), LG Optimus L5 actually has been launched in several countries in Europe, from UK, France, Germany and it’s also expected to arrive in South and Central America anytime soon. And considering Bell is a Canadian carrier, then there are possibilities that LG Optimus L5 will likely be priced lower to almost $0 with the attachment of 3-year contract.

So if you’re looking forward to buy a mid-end Android smartphone with pretty decent specs at low price, then the offering of LG Optimus L5 from Bell might be the one you’re looking for.

LG Optimus L9 Officially Announced by T-Mobile

It has been pretty long time since

LG Optimus L9 was rumored on many phone-related sites across the net. To be exact, it was around 1 month ago or so that this phone was rumored would arrive soon to the smartphone market

, bringing many great specs, such as: 4.5-inch IPS screen, 5MP camera, 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, a VGA front-facing camera and 2.150mAH battery. After waiting for around 1 month, now LG Optimus L9 finally has come to the conclusion. According to the latest report, T-Mobile is planning to offer this phone to the customers in the US.

By looking at the specs of

LG Optimus L9, certainly this phone will be deployed by LG in high-end market, competing with the likes of Samsung GALAXY S3, Samsung GALAXY Note II or even the iPhone 4S

. However, if we look closely at the specs of this phone, there is one thing that obviously doesn’t look quite right compared to other high-end phones in the recent trend. And that is the VGA quality camera on the front side of this phone.

Nowadays, most of high-end smartphones around the market to date already use either 1MP, 2MP or even HD quality front-facing camera. That’s why, it could be a bit disappointing if LG still uses VGA quality camera on its latest smartphones. Luckily, that’s the only minor thing that you’ll find on this phone because the rest of the specs still look well-equipped.

So if you are planning to buy a new smartphone, an Android one, from other manufacturers besides Samsung or HTC, then LG Optimus L9 is definitely a good choice for you, especially since LG Optimus series has now become the next big thing in Android community. So the quality of this series can still be rivaled with other high-end smartphones around the market to date.

Hopefully, we’ll get some more about this phone in the near weeks this phone is likely on the verge of its launch date. So be sure to always stick around to this blog for more news about LG Optimus L9.
