How would you change LG’s Optimus L7?

When we placed LG’s Optimus L7 into the palm of our reviewer, they found the handset to be stylish, with a cracking display, excellent battery life and a (then) up-to-date version of Android. Sadly, the party ended after that — with sluggish internals that can’t cope with the company’s UI tweaks, weak touchscreen and a lackluster camera. But we’re fairly sure our review didn’t dissuade all of you from buying one of these, so to those people we ask the following: what, if you were Mr. and Mrs. LG, would you have done differently?

LG touts 15 million Optimus L Series phones sold like so many refrigerators

Posted in: Today's Chili

As stylish as it can be, LG’s Optimus L Series is very appliance-like, the smartphone line that gets the job done versus the more luxuriant Optimus G. It’s almost no surprise, then, that LG’s sales rate has accelerated to the volume we’d expect from an air conditioner or fridge: just two months after the L Series hit 10 million in sales since launch, it’s already at 15 million. That’s no doubt heartening to LG, especially with the L Series II right around the corner. We doubt Samsung will break into cold sweats, though. When the Galaxy S III alone moved twice as many units by November of last year, LG still has some catching up to do in 2013.

Visualized: LG’s Optimus L7, 4X HD, Vu and 3D Max pose for family album

Posted in: Today's Chili

A few weeks ago we had the chance to line up some of LG’s current handsets — the Optimus L7, Optimus 4X HD, Optimus Vu and Optimus 3D Max — for a little photo shoot. While we only had access to the 3D Max for a short time, we ended up reviewing the other three. There’s a bit of something for everyone here — some Ice Cream Sandwich and some Gingerbread, some mid-range hardware and some hi-end style, some phablet and some 3D. Check out the ~~pr0n~~ family album in the gallery below.
