LG Optimus L9 announced, completes the L-series

Completing the L-series from LG is the Optimus L9, a 4.7″ Android ICS smartphone that was announced almost a day after the Optimus G.

LG is positioning the L-Series as a lifestyle handset so it’s not heavy on the specs but fairly affordable.

This is the reason why the Optimus L9 might not be considered a flagship handset but the large IPS display in a decent hardware might be compelling as long as the price is right.

LG Optimus L9 specs:
4.7-inch IPS LCD display
1.0GHz dual-core processor
1GB RAM
up to 32GB via microSD card
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
2,150mAh SiO+ battery
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
131.9 x 68.2 x 9.1mm (dimensions)
125 grams (weight)

While the specs is not yet complete, what’s notable with the L9 is the large-capacity battery and the 1GB RAM.

Congratulation for OPTIMUS G.

Ang LG ay nag a updating na po sila sa mga smartphones nila…
wala talagang tatalo sa LG phones pagdating sa Design!
LG IS ALWAYS THE ORIGINAL. halos lahat ng nagagawa nila ay ginagaya at dinadagdagan lng ng ibang mobile manufacturers
para masabing mas angat ang technology nila.
What a Strategy?
LG RULES…
