Although Optimus L3 was unveiled much earlier in the year together with its brothers, L5 and L7, it wasn’t a dual SIM version at that time of unveiling. Just a few days ago, LG decides to announce its LG Optimus L3′s availability to India as a dual SIM smartphone, coined with the phrase extending to include “Dual” in its product name.
It isn’t hard to guess what is happening here. We know that the users in India have a special preference for dual SIM phones and that is exactly what LG has aimed to do to please the Indian users. Moreover, HTC also has just launched their dual SIM phone, HTC Desire VC, in India and that’s why LG decides to join in the fun with the L3 Dual. In case you didn’t know, dual SIM phones can allow users to switch networks on the same phone and this can actually contributes to better call cost savings as well as attaining better network coverage in certain areas.
If you are interested to get this phone, you should be happy to know that it isn’t expensive. Currently, the suggested retail price is about Rs. 8299 and the specifications are almost the same as the L3 version, with the main exception being that this LG Otimus L3 Dual can support dual SIM capacity (Duh!). I would say that it also has a very minor facelift, making it slightly to look like Optimus Chic actually.
Here’s a look at the other specifications which you might be interested to know:
Android Gingerbread 2.3
Single-core Qualcomm processor (800 MHz)
RAM of 384MB
Adreno 200 GPU (For graphical acceleration)
Wi-Fi
HSDPA speed
Bluetooth
1500 mAh battery
TFT display screen measuring 3.2 inches (resolution of 240×320)
3.2 MP camera (VGA video)
MicroSD slot expansion up to 32GB
I would say that this LG Optimus L3 Dual is a decent buy, considering that it is bringing to us features that are usually sported in phones that cost about Rs. 10000 running Android OS. Of course, it is an entry level phone but in today’s economy, when it comes to the purchase of smartphones, we should always look for specifications coupled with the angle on its pricing. This phone is certainly competing with the others as a stronger offering with that two components in view.
