LG Optimus L4 II with Android Jelly Bean officially announced

Some two weeks ago, we’ve told you about the LG Optimus L4 II and now it’s officially announced by the Korean company. As you would expect from an LG Optimus device wearing the “L4″ moniker, it’s an entry-level smartphone with specs that include a 3.8-inch HVGA (320×480) IPS screen, MediaTek’s 1GHz single-core processor, 512MB of RAM, 3-megapixel camera with LED flash on the back, and 4GB of expandable memory (with microSD cards). A dual SIM version, simply called LG Optimus L4 II Dual, will also be released, and in the Read more

LG to stop using the Optimus brand for high-end models?

LG may be considering to stop using the Optimus brand for high-end models, a report published on Monday says so. This, of course, is unconfirmed information and we’ll likely have to wait for LG’s next super-phone announcement, which could’ve been the Optimus G2. We’re not sure what to think of it. We like the Optimus G and even more – the Optimus G Pro, and are pretty sure we would equally like them if they were called differently. Perhaps it makes sense to make it obvious that some phones are Read more

LG Optimus Zone, Optimus Exceed land at Verizon Wireless

Verizon Wireless has recently expanded its offering of low-cost smartphones for prepay customers with the addition of LG’s Optimus Zone and Optimus Exceed. The first of the two is a slightly different version of last year’s LG Optimus L3. It comes with a rather small 3.2-inch QVGA touchscreen, 3.2-megapixel rear camera, 800MHz single-core processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of expandable storage, while Android 2.3 Gingerbread is running the show. Further updates are not planned and I guess we shouldn’t expect them from a phone that costs just $79.99 sans any Read more
