sandesh, 17 Mar 2013it says 512MB RAM but the actual fact is that the RAM is on... moreNope, it is actually the same thing as static memory calculation (HDD described as 500GB has 468GB) because the rest of memory is hidden from you, cached (preformated) for upcoming processes or reserved for hardware, there is no Android phone in the world that has exact amount of memory as described in specs and there's nothing to do about it.

Out of the box this is just another average [smart]phone (with a GREAT screen and battery life, though).
But with a little googling and tweaking this is a REAL WINNER!!! Just do some searches and then:
- install the latest official ROM (V10i for P700)
- root the phone
- install CWM Rcovery
- tweak the GPU performance
- install BeatsAudio or AC!D Audio mod
- install video recording tweaks
- install a new kernel supporting swapping
- install RemountSD in order to use SD Card for large games/application
What you get after the above is a phone EXCEEDING Sansung Galaxy II in performance, but with a better and brighter screen and twice the battery life! Now even heavy 3D games like Real Racing 3, Dead Space, GTA 3 etc.

If you want to buy the L7, be aware this model isn't for heavy games, just for the simple (I'd say up to Sims 3 / Need For Speed / Temple Run maybe some more optimized high-end games too), it also can multi-task but only expect a good performance when switching between "light" apps (like the stock ones, Messages, Gallery, all of them run very well, fluid, or very well done market apps). A few lags exist if you have gone through many apps, like, the keyboard will lag a little but it'll get back to normal after. My view is it requires some software updates and LG promised Jelly Bean, and Facebook is re-doing their app completely to run better on Android, so we can expect it'll get better.
The MAJOR GOOD POINT of this phone is that it has a big screen and its brightness level is very good, so it's perfect for watching videos and images, and it has the frontal camera which is lacking in Sony xperia Sola which gives possibility to Skype.
The phone's size isn't too big, the screen hits the right spot in my opinion, and it's very light to hold really! It feels good on the hand and it's cute.
In the end this all depends on your needs. The price in my country is the same as Sony xperia Sola which presumably has better performance (dual-core processor and graphics chip) but then you lose the frontal camera and a some screen size (and this model is stuck on ICS by the official Sony means...), so the choice is personal...
I don't know, now in 2013 you may be able to buy something better, LG is launching L-series II, Optimus F5 and F7, they'll leave L7 in the past and will be much better mid-end. The price might be a little high at launch but it may adjust rapidly after that's what I hope...

512 MB is the total RAM, some is used by the system and background processes. You'll find this specification for every other phones to work the same, just part of the total is available to user.

Yes this Phone is upgradeable to jellybean, lg announced it a month ago with the l9 and 4x hd. The leak for the 4x hd was released and soon the l7 will also be realease. It will definetely make the phone faster as of project butter.
