The first of LG's "L-Style" series of fashion smartphones, the LG Optimus L3 is a compact but not particularly powerful Android handset due to hit the shops later this month.
The main features with the Optimus L3 are a smallish 3.2" 240 x 320 pixel display and a 3 megapixel camera with an 800 MHz processor and 384MB of RAM plus 1GB of internal storage, we would hope that this comes with a microSD slot.
There's a relatively large 1500 mAh battery, and the Optimus L3 measures 103 x 62 x 12mm. It runs Android 2.3 and it comes with all the usual Android features such as 3.5G support, WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth.
It's quite a good looking device, and it will be available in white, pink, blue or black colours. LG say that the Optimus L3 should be available in Europe from March (Carphone Warehouse will have it in the UK in April), followed by Russia and Asia and then other markets worldwide.Other forthcoming "L-Style" Optimus handsets from LG include the L5 and L7, so the L3 sits pretty near to the bottom of the range and perhaps the price tag will reflects its modest specification.
