LG Optimus L9 review: Living large

04 January 2013
The Optimus L9 is the latest addition to the L-series and rightfully takes charge of a lineup that's known for attractive styling and wallet-friendly prices. It obviously made no sense to LG to start from scratch and the L9 is happily reusing bits and parts from nearly all of its fairly recent smartphone siblings...

It does not have the ability to transfer apps to memory. A very big headache for people who install a lot of games. Pls be careful.

                    hey friends,finally on 11th jan i got my lg optimus l9. I have been using the mobile for 10 days and now i am ready with my opinion.
                    1st i would say this mobile is pretty solid value for money. the display,the sleek design makes u feel that the device is premium.
                    the display is good and with half brightness, u can view under sunlight and its so elegant to look.
                    the battery is average for a days use with minimum brightness,if the brightness goes high ur battery falls.
                    the call quality is good.but i was slightly disappointed when comparing it to my motorola em 30.
                    gaming on the mobile is awesome. with the large display and 10 point multi touch,its a pretty good gaming device and the dualcore processor helps in running high end gaming
                    browsing,playing videos never had any issues.i am able to play blue ray videos and 1080p videos without any issues.
                    the loudspeaker is pretty average and the earphone quality too could have been better.earphone is above average and u can always choose some other high quality earphones if u want.i am pretty much okay with the earphones..
                    the mobile tends 2 heat while playing high end games and ppl say its common in android device. im not pretty sure about it.and if u feel that the 4.7 inch would bother to carry around,do not worry,its so compact and easy 2 handle.
                    coming 2 the camera,its pretty bad in low light conditions.
                    this is the best phone under 20k price range. Samsung htc and other leading android manufacturers price a device with this specs around 22k.Ppl dont just go by ads. lg has made a master piece with this device

                        the battery life of this phone is one of the best available on the market....

                        at least
                        6-7 hours of straight internet browsing...
                        7-8 hours of video watching...
                        in normal use my battery will totally got empty after 3-days & 2 hours...

                        the screen is very responsive...

                        8.0mp camera is better in real life almost as s3'8mp quality.

                        the design is simple . but elegant!
                        mine is color black more masculine look....

                        i never regret for this phone...

                        just try and buy this phone you will see what i mean...

                                    The 5 Megapixel camera on the Optimus L9 produced some pretty decent shots. They’re not particularly great, but they’re not bad either, which is pretty expected of this price range.

                                    ALL IN ALL THIS PHONE IS THE WINNER FOR ITS PRICE AND CATEGORY!
