LG Announces Optimus L3 2 Smartphone
LG announced the release of its new L3 2 smartphone in a recent press release.
The new device is the successor to the original L3 and will launch in Brazil this week.
"The Optimus L3 2 is a versatile phone for the smart and stylish individual," said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. "Its improved user experience makes this an attractive device for customers who want to express their sense of style without sacrificing functionality."
Specifications on the Optimus L3 2 include a 1GHz Single Core processor, a 3.2-inch QVGA display, 512MB RAM, 4GB of internal memory, a 3-megapixel camera, 1,540mAh battery, and runs Android 4.1.2, JellyBean. The operating system appears to be the main selling point of the handset.
LG also hopes to attract buyers with the L3 2's design.
"Optimus L3 2 advances the styling and convenience of the original Optimus L3 smartphone with a new flair that complements its user experience," wrote LG. "The Optimus L3 2 continues LG's design heritage with four new elements that make the device eye catching and fun to use."
The elements include a Seamless Layout, Laser Cut Contour, Radiant Rear Design, and colorful Smart LED Lighting on the home button. The device also comes in four different colors including indigo black, white, pink and titan. Prices should be announced at a later date.
One other impressive feature on the Optimus L3 2 is QuickMemo with Overlay mode that was previously only available on LG's high-end devices. The feature allows users to jot notes on a transparent "layer" while still being able to view another screen in the background and eliminates the need to split the screen, allowing QuickMemo and another app to be viewed in full-screen mode simultaneously.
