LJ Optimus L3 E400. LG Optimus L3 - specifications. The main camera of the mobile device is usually located on the back of the case and is used for photo and video filming.

From him were not ahti. Cheap materials and too weak technical characteristics (perhaps this is the only Android-smartphone 2012 with a resolution of the display 320x240, not counting any Chinese, of course) does not save even a modest price of one and a half thousand hryvnia, according to which it can be bought today. But let's look closer - what this model is capable of and with which she will have to compete in the spring of this year.

Specifications LG Optimus L3 (E400)

In my copy (it was not a store sample, although I don't think that there will be some significant difference in commercial smartphones) LG Optimus L3 is used if you believe the benchmarks, 300 megabytes of RAM, 150 megabytes of the built-in memory and there is another gigabyte drive that is completely Available to user. Android version 2.3.6, of course, does not shit novelty, but on it, apparently, the buyer will have to stop and stop - there is simply no resources for further updates. An experimental way can be established that inside the Qualcomm MSM7625A processor (one of the benchmarks shows the processor as MSM7X25A, the MSM7225A and MSM7625A are subfed to this definition, but the first frequency is 600 MHz). The capacity of the battery, however, it fully complies with modern, and not a two-year-old ideas about this issue. And this is perhaps the only component of the system (well, maybe another processor, which, though cheap, but relatively new), on which they did not save.

Exterior LG Optimus L3 (E400)

Over the two months, who passed after our first acquaintance, the device did not change at all. He has an open and still a pretty view that spoils only the screen with extremely poor viewing angles and cheap materials.

Rear, the smartphone also looks original and recognizable. The lid has a corrugated texture. It seems the fashion on such things put Samsung Galaxy Sii. This snapshot shows a paired volume control key whose plastic even nobody tried to disguise.

Management bodies are extremely simple - from below the open port of MicroUSB, on top - headphone socket and power button. Top view I recalled the Prada model (LG P940). There, the lid also performs, creating an illusion of a thinner case than it really is.

There are three keys under the display - the central (menu) hardware, and the pair on the sides of it is sensory. They are hidden and "manifest" only when the backlight is turned on. Once in 2005 (?) By the year, such a solution was in the image model of Chocolate and became its distinctive feature. After 7 years, this feature appears at the budget model of the smartphone.

The capacity of the battery is 1500 mAh, but what to spend it when the smartphone capabilities are so limited, it is not entirely clear. However, the lack of definition is definitely not calling at all wishes.

The memory card can be removed without turning off the phone, it is enough to remove the cover - the card compartment is on the sidebar. Pay attention to the camera lens - it is glued with a glass plate that protects the lens from dust. Turn the chamber's eyes to the traditional dust collector in this phone will not be possible.

To compare sizes at hand, only a new LG T370 touch telephone was turned out to be (its review is also not far off).

Video review LG Optimus L3 (E400)

The most important impressions of the appearance of the device can be viewed in this video:

Performance LG Optimus L3 (E400)

Of course, with such characteristics it is stupid to expect miracles - in Antutu Optimus L3 scored 2194 points (this is less than the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 two-year old, although with the flagship device, albeit old, to compare it is also not completely correct). The device supports 5-point multitouch, which characterizes it from a good side. A benchmark for Vellamo browser demonstrates modest indicators in 672 points. Although for the device on Android 2.3 with the screen resolution of 320x240, these are quite good indicators.

For the sake of such a case, the old good benchmarks Neocore and Quadrant Standard had to be removed from the dusty chest. In the first LG Optimus L3 issued confident 61 frames per second, in the second - 1230 points, which corresponds to the SAMSUNG Nexus S level with Android 2.3.

LG Optimus L3 browser is standard for Android 2.3. That is, he can copy the text and play video. True, YouTube rollers open in a separate application, and not on a web page. But in general, I must say that at the resolution of 320x240 it is possible to watch sites in 2012 only from acute burning pain in the rear passneed. And the only thing you want with regular viewing sites on this resolution is to quickly buy a smartphone with a large resolution, and at the same time the screen diagonal.

The natural advantage of low display resolution, its corresponding power consumption and a weak processor can be called a relatively high time of the smartphone offline. At the same time, the 800-megahertz processor calmly copes with the unconverted video. Of course, we are talking about the "present" HD, but a gigabyte file with a resolution of 624x352 with a film duration of one and a half hours, it is easy to grumble. And almost without a pause, moving around the video even in the standard player "out of the box". Not to mention such "happiness", like 7 hours of work from a charged battery when playing video.

LG Optimus L3 (E400) Camera

The camera is perhaps the weakest place of this smartphone. If with other technical capabilities you can put up (or understand that this is a compromise between a low price and a pretty appearance), then the camera discards us a few years ago, during the time of extremely weak cameras built into the phones. At the same time, video shooting (taking into account the modest sensor abilities, of course) looks relatively decent with its VGA resolution. That is, if you evaluate the camera on the school Soviet system, then the camera pulls on a triple with a minus, and the camcorder is a firm four. As part of its permits, of course. However, everyone can rate the photo.

In the dry residue

As expected, the LG Optimus L3 smartphone looks like a beautiful toy than a modern phone. Of course, this is the most pretty smartphone at the price of 1500 hryvnia, but the use of cheap materials can play a cruel joke with the buyer (or rather by the buyer). If (when) all this will be done, the phone from the pretty will turn into a completely untidy. It aggravates the situation with extremely small viewing angles and is completely disgusting in its capabilities of the camera. In this case, the device allows you to easily watch the unconverted video and take a satisfactory video quality. In general, we are more likely a cute phone with the disabilities of the smartphone, which will be able to satisfy only a very unpretentious user who does not plan to use the games more complicated by Angry Birds, and the Internet in the phone uses at best once a week. 3 Reasons to buy LG Optimus L3 (E400):

  • beautiful appearance;
  • the ability to watch unconverted video;
  • high battery capacity, which has nowhere to spend.

4 Reasons Do not buy LG Optimus L3 (E400):

  • extremely weak screen viewing angles;
  • mediocre camera without autofocus and backlight;
  • cheap case materials;
  • for 1500 hryvnia you can buy a smartphone more interesting, the truth is not so beautiful.

Positioning

Within the framework of the international exhibition Mobile World Congress in 2012, the South Korean company LG introduced three smartphones "Optimus L": L3, L5 and L7. Smartphone L3 refers to the category of the lower price level and at the moment its cost is about 5,000 - 5,500 rubles. The technical characteristics of the device are fairly ordinary: a small screen with a diagonal of 3.2 inches and a resolution of 240x320 points, 3 megapid camera, wireless technologies (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS) and 384 MB of RAM. However, the processor here was installed with Armv7 architecture (Qualcomm MSM7227A chipset). The LG L3 phone, it seems to me, will be interested in those who need a compact, inexpensive, smart device with Adobe Flash support to play video and audio on web pages.


Design, dimensions, control elements

The smartphone design is partially borrowed from the joint product of the house "Prada" and LG: the same angular shape of the hull, clear lines and the embossed surface of the back side. Unlike "Prada 3.0 by LG", L3 is made of more modest materials: edging and rear lid - from ordinary matte plastic, and the front panel is from translucent. However, it did not affect the quality of the assembly. For example, when squeezing or twisting, it does not creak and does not crunch, the cover is kept tightly and not the backlash. The camera module is framed with a wide metal insert.


Smartphone LG Optimus L3 is sold in two colors: black and white. In the first case, the rear cover of black, in the second - white, but part of the front panel is always dark. In my opinion, it looks like a smarter and a pretty gadget in Light. However, its surface is brand (over time, white plastic turns into gray), so it has to wipe it quite often. Most likely, other colors will be available.




In the hand, the E400 lies excellent thanks to the compact sizes (102.6x61.6x11.85 mm), a small weight (110 grams) and a rough rear lid. Since the dimensions of the "Algishki" miniature, it is easy to fit in pockets of summer shirts, narrow jeans, in a burst or cosmetic bag.

The front panel is located sensor approximation and a single speaker that is responsible for output speakerphone and speech. At the high volume of the interlocutor, it is not heard is not very picky, but without additional background noise. The approximation sensor triggers instantly, and during the testing time there was no false call discharges.

Under the screen is the mechanical key of a small size. It has the shape of a rectangle and recessed into the housing. Pressing soft, but the move is small. To the right of it - the "Back" touch button, on the left - "Menu". As in Prada 3.0 from LG, without activating the button backlight, the button is invisible. When you click on one of them begin to highlight with white, the brightness is high and the eyes blind in the dark. It is bad that the intensity of the glow cannot be reduced.





There are no buttons and connectors on the right edge, on the left - the volume key-rocker key. It is convex and groped with his fingers. The microUSB connector and the microphone are located on the lower end, and on the top - standard 3.5 mm audio output on the headphones or headset and the button on / off the device (drowning into the housing, has a minimum stroke and soft pressing).

On the back is the camera window.


To remove the back cover, it must be hired for the protrusion on the upper end. Slot under the memory card can be found on the left (the "hot" replacement) is supported, the SIM card slot is under the battery.

LG Optimus L3 and SAMSUNG STAR II


Display

Smartphone LG Optimus E400 has a diagonal display 3.2 "(physical size 49.5x65.5 mm), low (today) resolution of 240x320 points, a low density of 125 pixels per inch, therefore, unfortunately, pixelization is visible to the naked eye.

The matrix is \u200b\u200bmade using TFT-LCD technology, which is capable of displaying 256 thousand shades of color. The sensor is capacitive, with multitouch support (five simultaneous touches). Sensitivity is excellent: Ideally worries even light touch.

The viewing angles are small: the picture under the tilt the picture is faded, from himself, as well as to the left and right - loses contrast. The brightness is very high and varies in a wide range, but is only adjustable manually, since there is no lighting sensor in the device. The color rendition is not bad and is not inferior to more expensive devices, for example, from Samsung, but somewhat loses budget Fly Whizz. The photo below shows the Samsung Galaxy Note comparison (only as a reference), LG Optimus L3 (center) and Fly IQ240 WHIZZ:



Behavior in the Sun.

Corners review

In the settings, the time is set until the backlight is turned off (from 30 seconds to 30 minutes), switching on / off "DISPLAY" and ANIMATION. Inside the device is installed accelerometer (BMA250), magnetometer (BMM050) and lighting sensor.

Battery

The LG E400 uses a removable lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery with a capacity of 1500 mAh. Model BL-44JN. Exactly the same is in LG Optimus Link Dual, LG Optimus Black and LG Optimus Pro.

The manufacturer declares that in standby mode, the smartphone "will live" to 600 hours, and in the talk mode - up to 12.5 hours. If you use the phone about 10 to 12 hours, the battery will be completely discharged, provided: 15-25 minutes of conversations per day, three hours of using Wi-Fi Internet (Twitter, Mail, downloading applications and their installation), about five hours of mobile Internet with Simultaneous listening to music (a couple of hours). View only video on the maximum screen brightness and the maximum sound volume (in headphones) - up to 8.5 hours.

In general, quite adequate indicators, which are explained by the presence of an uncompressive processor and a small display permission.

From USB charges about two and a half hours, from the network - about 1.5 hours.

Communication capabilities

Smartphone LG L3 works in 2G cellular networks (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and 3G (900/2100 MHz). The quality of communication did not cause complaints. HSDPA speed - up to 3.6 Mbps.

In stock Bluetooth version 3.0 (with stereo phase A2DP) for file transfer and speech.

There is a Wi-Fi wireless connection 802.11 b / g / n. The device can be involved as an access point (Wi-Fi Hotspot). In "Settings" there is a special item "General Modem / Access Point".

USB 2.0 (Highspeed) is used to "transport" files and synchronize data. When you connect the LG to the PC on the screen, the menu is displayed with the selection of the action: Leave charging, turn on the drive mode, synchronize or use the phone as a modem.

About 1 GB of Flash Memory are allocated for the installation of applications (free 950 MB). If you wish, all applications are transferred to microSD. The maximum volume can be up to 32 GB.

Camera

The camera module is installed on 3 megapixels without autofocus. There are no flashes. The maximum resolution of the photo is 2048x1536 pixels, video - 640x480 at 10-20 frames per second (the number of frames depends on the lighting).

The quality of photographs is more or less tolerable for a mobile phone for 5,500 rubles: good detail, lack of artifacts and soap. However, snapshots are obtained by several dull and not very contrasting. It is best to photograph objects at a distance of two meters. I think the camera will be interested in schoolchildren and students, as it makes relatively clear frames, even with a sheet of paper A4. Example snapshot below:

When viewing video surveys from the camera LG L3, it seems that the focus is not configured to infinity, but on the object located in the meter.

There is no separate button to activate the camera, so it starts by pressing the appropriate icon.

Performance

LG installed in model Optimus L3 Qulacomm MSM7227 chipset with "A" index. This means that there is a single-core ARMV7 Cortex-A5 processor, operating on a clock frequency of 800 MHz (minimum - 320 MHz). In this case, the DPS - HEXAGON QDSP5 for 350 MHz, ADRENO 200 video screen, and technical process - 45 nm. Almost all LG E400 competitors operate on an ARMV6 processor or from Qulacomm, for example, LG P350 / P500 (MSM7227, 600 MHz), LG P690 (MSM7227T, 800 MHz), or from MediaTek, for example, Fly Whizz / BlackBird.

Interestingly, the MSM7227A chipset received only the more expensive Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus and Galaxy Mini 2. With such a processor and an accelerator, I think that you should not talk about "poorels" of the interface or system brakes. Everything starts quickly, and during testing the device never rebooted or something in it went wrong.

Performance in the chart checked on several toys:

  • Angry Birds (starts instantly, not "buggy")
  • Tiki Kart 3D (start instantly, the graphics does not slow down even with a large number of units)
  • Frisbee Forever (the game itself goes smoothly, but when loading points it slows down a bit)
  • Gun and Blood (launched in 10 seconds, does not slow down)
  • SAMURAI VS Zombies (loaded quickly, does not slow down)
  • Running Fred (starts quickly, sometimes slows down)

Most of the simple toys go without any problems. Another thing is that the diagonal and screen resolution are small: the whole graph turns into "porridge".

Brief technical characteristic:

Antutu Benchmark.

Navigation

In the smartphone there is a GPS navigator. Its functionality is the same as in most budget telephones. "Cold" start - about seven minutes, "hot" - up to 10-15 seconds.

Software platform

The device works on the Google Android operating system version 2.3.6. For the subsequent update software in the settings there is an appropriate item. Assembly number - GRK39F, version Kernel - 2.6.38.6, version of software - V10B-MAR-13-2012.

Sheath and menu

The Optimus UI branded shell performs as execution. In my opinion, it looks pretty, bright and functionally, at least not inferior to Touchwiz in Smartphones from Samsung.

To activate the backlight, you must press the key on the phone. On the "Lock Screen" places information about the time, date, network, communication operator, as well as battery charge. To unlock, you need to pull the picture up.

Four labels are fixed at the bottom of the screen: "Phone", "Contacts", "SMS" and "Menu". Working tables are only five. With long-lasting finger holding, a list with widgets, shortcuts, folders and wallpapers will open on the screen.

By pulling down the "Notification Area" from above, you will find a quick launch of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, activation of data transmission or sound turning on / off. The widgets of the music player or radio are displayed.

The menu is represented by only one style - "list". Labels can be collected in the category.

Calls

The dialer is large and comfortable. On the right are the send button, the call prompt and delete the last digit. When entering the first digits, a list of subscribers with matching numbers opens. When calling on the screen, it is displayed: a small photo of the contact, as well as the "Enable speakerphone" buttons, "Calling a dialer", "Turn on / off Bluetooth" and "Turning off the sound". The call log displays a list of all calls. If the subscriber has made several calls, the list is hidden in one panel.

"Contacts" are represented by the alphabetic list ordered. You can select the letter from which the surname or the name of the subscriber begins. To create a new contact, you must click on the "Menu" and select the appropriate item. The following information is entered for each contact:

  • Surname
  • Telephone
  • Email
  • Group
  • Mailing address
  • Organization and more

Messages

To set the text, the LG branded keyboard is used, similar to the iPhone keyboard. Symbols are large, well divided among themselves. Language switches to pressing the RU / ENG button. The view may be landscape or portrait. In the text input window, the number of remaining characters is displayed on top. Long-term hold of the button 123 leads to the launch of the keyboard settings.

Separately, I note that it is very convenient to print (despite a small diagonal and the display resolution), since the sensitivity of the sensor is good, and the calibration is correct.

Applications

Standard set of Android programs and a bit pre-installed by the manufacturer: FBReader, Google+, LG AppClub, LG Informer, LG Music Club, PolarisViewer, Remote Call, MailAgnet, VKontakte.

Web browser

Pretty cute and functional. Supports work with Flash 10.x. After the release of the video barrier of LG Optimus L3, users began to actively discuss exactly the topic of support "Flash" - someone looks online video, someone listens to podcasts or plays simple games. In any case, the presence of this technology as a positive moment.

But due to the low resolution of the display, it is not very comfortable to use the browser: little information fits on the screen, you have to constantly increase. True, it works relatively well.

Multimedia

Music player

In the player, you can streamline the compositions according to performers, albums, songs and playlists. When playing music on the screen displays: a huge album cover, artist name and album name, below - player control buttons. In the settings: Add to playlist, library, settings, delete, use as ringtone, exchange (via Bluetooth, SMS, email). There is no built-in equalizer, so it is better to use another music player, for example, Poweramp.

The speaker volume is slightly above average, and the quality is good. The volume in the headphones is high, the quality is excellent, but for me, as always, lacks deeper low frequencies. Middle and high are well pronounced.

FM radio

Works in the FM range: 87.5 - 108 MHz. The screen displays the frequency scale, settings, 6 cells to save the most interesting stations, switching sound to speaker and shutdown. I liked that during the transition to radio stations, the sound smoothly becomes quieter, and then increases again. The volume in the headphones is slightly above the average, the sensitivity of the receiver is high.

Video player

Although the manufacturer claims that "from the box" of the E400 loses XVID and DivX, the situation is not so unequivocal. Of course, it reproduces these formats, but not all permissions: for example, more than 700 pixels.

In addition, does not understand the player and some audio encoders (AC3). The remaining video was played well, without noticeable braces, with a quick rewind.

Approximately with such characteristics should be your video file for comfortable playback:

  • Video codec: MPEG-4 Visual, 999 (up to 1600) Kbps
  • Resolution: 512 x 384 (up to 640 x 480), 25.000 k / s
  • Sound codec: MPEG Audio up to 320 kbps
  • Sound channels: 2 channels, 44.1 kHz

If you install MX Video Player, the device will easily "pull" the rollers in resolution up to 720 pixels in six-channel sound.

Conclusion

At the very beginning of the review, I defined the positioning of the device. It seems to me that the LG Optimus L3 is highlighted among the "Android" army with its compactness, speed of work and Flash support.


If you are ready to close your eyes to a low screen resolution and the lack of autofocus at the camera, I recommend to look at this model, since the Armv7 processor (from relatively budget smartphones) will be only in HTC Explorer. In some places it is sold from 5 200 rubles (PCT), it has 512 MB of RAM and 320x480 points to the screen resolution.

From the nearest competitors - LG Optimus One. His only drawback is the lack of support for Flash, otherwise it is better than Optimus L3: more screen resolution, autofocus chamber and 512 MB "RAM". It is worth the P500 about as much as E400.

    Optimus L3, which is younger in the L-Style line. In this modest apparatus, the main emphasis company LG made on simplicity and original design. This unit is not a high-performance device, so you should pay attention to other models of this L-Style l-style lovers.

    As in other smartphones in this series, the LG Optimus L3 housing is made of plastic with metal inclusions in the form of a rectangular monoblock. The front side of the device almost completely occupies the screen, under it there is a small keyboard space. The same side, as in others, the camera takes the camera.

    Processor and OS.

While the device operates on the basis of the Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system, but an update should be updated to version 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. And whether a processor is enough with such characteristics in order to pull a newer OS? This question is so far in the air, since although the processor is not very powerful, but in the smartphone 1 GB of RAM, and this is also a rather important indicator.

    Camera

    The smartphone uses a 3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus feature. The camera allows you to record video in 320x240 pixel format, which is a frankly small indicator compared to budget devices of other manufacturers.

    There is also a VGA camera for video calls.

    Communicative opportunities

    With the communicative features of the device everything is fine: Wi-Fi, GPRS, Bluetooth, USB. Also on the phone there are already pre-installed programs for surfing on the Internet, communication on social networks, mailing views.

    Battery

    The smartphone is installed Li-ion battery with a capacity of 1500 mAh, which, as the manufacturer declares, should be enough for the operation of the device for 6.5 hours in talk mode and up to 300 hours in standby mode.

    Price

    The price of LG Optimus L3 is approximately 5300 rubles.
