GADGETS: LG introduces the L series with longer battery life

The global demand for smartphones, which boast web connectivity, high resolution touch-screen displays and access to application stores is at an all time high. In Nigeria the case is not different as it is highly sought after by individuals ranging from corporate executives to housewives who feel the need to be at the top of their game. Perhaps, this informed the introduction of the L series II smartphones by LG Electronics, recently.

The L series II according to LG, consist of the L7 II, L5 II and the L3 II. These mobile devices are all aimed at the budget-conscious consumer. The new Android Jelly Bean phones offer significant improvements on the previous models, including new, rounded and friendly design aesthetics. Overall, they are irresistibly beautiful as well as undeniably brilliant.

General Manager, Mobile Communications, LG Electronics West Africa operations, Mr. JS Yoo, said: “LG has a history of pushing the envelope when it comes to style and L Series II builds on this heritage of design innovation.”

Key features in the L series II phones include the Quickmemo which allows users to use their fingertips to take down and then share handwritten ideas on their phone; Quick Button which enable users customize the quick launch of apps like the camera, browser or music player, using a hot key. Safety Care lets users program 3 options- emergency call forwarding, phone non-usage notice, and my location notice- in the event of an emergency; and the Dual SIM function will benefit those that use their phones for both business and personal reasons, in order to ensure both worlds are kept separate.

All three L Series phones are designed in ways that make users feel incredible. The striking layouts are progressive, timeless, and inlaid with life-enriching innovations.

The most-classy in the line-up is the L7 II, which has a 1GHz dual-core processor, 4.3-inch touch screen, 8 Mega Pixel (MP) cameras on the rear with an LED flash; and a 2,460mAh battery which is one of its major strengths, as it is expected to last at least two days without needing a recharge. A sharp improvement from the 5-megapixel camera and 1700mAh battery that existed in the previous version from last year

The L5 II which comes with a refined designed is a bit bigger, with a 4-inch 800 x 480 display and 1,700mAh battery. It has the same 1GHz dual-core processor as the L7 II, but is still compact and bijou.
