LG Optimus L7 review
The LG Optimus L7 is the premium option within the Korean firm's L-Style range of smartphones. The L7 is the largest and has the best listed specification of the three handsets. More Google phone reviews
The LG L3 is the budget offering at around £120 while the mid-ranged L5 is yet to be launched. The L7 has a price around £250.
LG Optimus L7: Design
LG's triad of L-Style smartphones share a similar flat and square design. The screen is bordered by a black or white bezel and a chrome frame. The phone looks very similar to the old Samsung Galaxy S II in size, shape and look. A physical Home button has touch-sensitive Back and Menu buttons either side of it.
Because of its 4.3in screen, the LG Optimus L7 is a big phone measuring 67 x 126mm. But it’s also thin at 8.8mm thick and a quite light 125g – just below similarly lightweight 130g HTC One X.
Turn the phone over and you'll find the back is one large removable plastic cover, with a fine textured finish which we're not so keen on. The cover hides a removable battery, full-size SIM card slot and and another for a microSD card.
LG Optimus L7: Build quality
The LG L7 is a reasonably well constructed smartphone, feeling solid in the hand. Buttons have a nice action to them. The phone flexes a small amount but not worringly so.
We’re not keen on plastic removable rear covers, and the LG L7's is a pretty flimsy example. However, it attaches to the phone securely, where it gains more rigidity.
LG Optimus L7: Hardware
The LG Optimus L7 may resemble a high-end smartphone but its price tag – and internal components – suggest otherwise. A look over the specification sheet starts to reveal why this phone is on sale for half the price of the smartphone leaders.
Underneath the glossy shell is a 1GHz single-core Cortex-A5 and 512MB of memory – nothing to get excited about here. Our misgivings about the core spec were reflected in the Geekbench 2 test; the L7 managed a shameful average of 276 points across three tests, the lowest score we’ve seen in this test.
For comparison HTC's budget One V scored 282 and Sony's budget Xperia U scored 875. Even LG’s cheapest L3 scored 434 points with its 800MHz processor.
The difference between LG models is that the L3 is running 2010’s Android 2.3, while the L7 is saddled with the more taxing Android 4.0 operating system.
As is benchmark score suggested, subjective performance was not great. While the phone zoomed around the home screens without any trouble we found it lagged in almost every other area. When the screen changes to the app or menu you open there's a delay of a few seconds before the content appears.
The under-specification continues with storage which is a measly 4GB. Our disappointment grew when we discovered that only 2.5GB of that was available to the user. The microSD card slot is a consolation for extending capacity with an extra cost attached.
The L7’s large 4.3in screen matches the Sony Xperia S and Nokia Lumia 900. The TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 800 giving the phone a middle-order pixel density of 217ppi.
The screen doesn't look bad, colour representation, viewing angles and brightness are all good but detail isn’t as crisp and sharp as rival handsets.
Remaining hardware consists of 11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, Micro-USB and a near-field communications (NFC) chip. The L7 also includes digital living network alliance (DLNA) certification.
LG Optimus L7: Cameras
LG has fitted the Optimus L7 with dual-cameras. There's a 5Mp camera with auto focus and an LED flash at the rear, and a 0.3Mp camera at the front.
We found the rear camera to be somewhat hit and miss. To start, we found that the auto focus would not work properly. The first picture could be taken quite quickly but the phones spent some time processing the image afterwards before subsequent shots could be taken.
Results were varied and more often than not photos lacked detail and looked washed out. Video can be shot at 640 x 480 resolution – about good enough to upload clips to YouTube or Facebook but little more.
The front-facing 0.3Mp camera doesn't offer anything better. Its grainy video can work for webchats.
LG Optimus L7: Software
Operating system software on the L7 is the current latest version of Google Android, version 4.0.3. This is accompanied by LG's Optimus UI 3.0 overlay.
The interface initially seems fine. The lock screen has shortcuts to four apps, and a notifications bar can be accessed. We liked the way the unlock animation revealed the app or home screen underneath.
Optimus UI 3.0 looks nice with colourful icons and wallpapers. There is easy access to recent apps by holding down the Home button, and the notifications bar has settings for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Unfortunately the software doesn't run very well. The processor can cope with moving between home screens but once you start using the L7 for actual tasks things start to go wrong.
We found that with a few apps running the device would become bogged down. It frequently reached the point where the length of the delay made us question whether our finger taps had been registered at all.
The on-screen keyboard is fine but not the best we’ve seen. The top row of keys has number modifiers but no others for any punctuation. Predictive text can suggests punctuation after each word when turned on but we found no manual means to puctuate.
Web browsing was painfully slow at times with the processor struggling to render sites at any decent pace.
LG Optimus L7: Battery life
LG suggests the L7 has great battery life because of its 6.5Wh capacity and a power-saving mode which manages power consumption. This software automatically turns off power-draining functions, like Wi-Fi, and turns screen brightness down when the battery reaches a certain level chosen by the user.
Despite this software, and despite the slow single-core processor, the LG Optimus L7 only managed to place itself into the one-day battery life category.
This was a disappointing result considering the company’s claims that it would last longer – and indeed the fact that we didn't even use the phone particularly heavily. You'll need to charge this smartphone every night, if not earlier.

Good-bye, BlackBerry: 3 steps to prepare for its demise
It's easy to switch to iOS or even Android, no matter what type of company you are
If you rely on Research in Motion's BlackBerry smartphones, it's time to prep your exit strategy. RIM is in serious decline, and the slide has accelerated dramatically in recent weeks. The company has made massive layoffs, its stock price has plummeted -- a sign of investors losing faith -- and most analysts doubt very much its repeatedly promised BlackBerry 10 OS will be the Hail Mary that outclasses Apple's iOS or Google's Android.
The likelihood of RIM going bankrupt or becoming a skeleton of itself jumped significantly late last week when RIM revealed that BlackBerry 10 has been delayed yet again, now to early 2013, a year later than originally predicted. By then, iOS 6 and Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean" will be well established, and Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 will have debuted, offering for the first time enterprise security and management features that may finally near what iOS and Android offer. It seems unlikely users will desire the BlackBerry 10 in those circumstances.
[ A step-by-step guide: How to move your contacts from BlackBerry to iOS or Android. | Updated for iOS 5, Android 4, BlackBerry OS 7, and Windows Phone 7.5: Learn how to manage mobile devices in InfoWorld's 20-page Mobile Management Deep Dive PDF special report. ]
"RIM's potential financial troubles, weakened reputation, and so much effort into a tablet [the BlackBerry PlayBook] that has not caught on are all good reasons to look at other options," says John Pitts, president of managed services provider Tekcetera.
So what steps should companies take to prepare for the demise of RIM, if it happens in the next year or so?
1. Make the mental switch from mobile messaging to mobile apps
Many organizations have already opened up to iOS and, to a lesser extent, Android. For example, at furniture retailer Holly Hunt, a BlackBerry is considered the bare minimum for mobile users because it's designed for email and messaging, not so much for running apps and accessing the Web as iOS and Android devices can do very effectively. At Holly Hunt, the BlackBerry is no longer the preferred device, despite its long history with the company, notes says Neil Goodrich, director of business analytics and technology.
Schumacher Group, a provider of emergency room management services, is taking an even stronger line: It will move from BlackBerrys to iPhones once iOS 6 comes out this fall, says CIO Doug Menefee.
The move from BlackBerry represents a shift in enterprise mobile computing from predominantly email to enterprise business applications, says Vishal Jain,
a mobile services analyst at 451 Research. For example, "mobile computing is getting closer to opening up ERP systems, which were traditionally accessed through desktops," Jain says. The BlackBerry simply isn't designed for app usage; by clinging to it, companies are held back from heading in the direction of computing.
2. Develop and enforce a mobile policy
When research firm Aberdeen Group surveyed 239 U.S. companies about their mobile device strategies this spring, researchers were particularly disturbed that 43 percent of the respondents permitted their employees to use mobile devices that don't comply with the company's mobile policy.
Additionally, many companies don't have mobile policies that reflect the app-centric and Web-centric reality of iOS and Android. With the increased adoption of bring-your-own-device and choose-your-own-device approaches, it's now paramount to have those policies in place. That way, users know what they're permitted to do and how they're expected to safeguard company information, says Andrew Borg, an Aberdeen research director for mobile.
It's baffling that companies would create a mobile device policy and not enforce it, but it's clearly a common occurrence. That has to change, Borg says.

(CNN) — On June 28, 2007, Nokia was the top selling mobile-phone company in the world, people stopped working when they left their computers, Android phones didn’t exist, and high-powered executives were addicted to thumbing on their BlackBerrys.
The next day, Apple’s first iPhone went on sale.
At $600, it was a luxury item at first. But five years later, the phone’s dramatic impact can be seen in our daily lives, schools, factories and boardrooms. To date, more than 217 million iPhones have been sold, and they’re being used by construction workers to read blueprints, doctors to diagnose patients, governments to improve services and parents to quiet their kids in restaurants.
To ring in its 5th birthday, here are five ways the iPhone has made a mark on the world.
A new way of interacting with computers
In 2007, we were a nation of skilled texters, banging out OMG-filled coded messages at lightning speeds on numerical keypads and physical keyboards. The iPhone was lacking either of those, instead offering a nothing-but-screen keyboard.
It was a classic Apple move toward dead-simple usability, and it helped bring a slice of computing to a whole new audience, including technophobes, kids, senior citizens and people with visual or hearing impairments.
Suddenly, users could navigate their phones with a few swipes of the finger. Kids intuitively seemed to know how to use it. And the phone ushered in a new wave of touchscreen devices.
After the hefty price tag, the lack of a physical keyboard was the first complaint many reviewers lodged against the iPhone. It didn’t scare off consumers, though, and Apple sold a million iPhones in less than three months. Typing speeds on the iPhone still may not rival a pair of BlackBerry thumbs at their peak, but predictive-text software, spell check and, later, cut and paste have made it a usable alternative.
In October, Apple tried to shake up input again with the introduction of the Siri voice-assistant feature. The voice-recognition technology encouraged users to speak commands and questions instead of of tapping them in on the screen.
Rise of the app
The iPhone’s killer feature was not that tough, expansive glass touchscreen. It was the mobile operating system, iOS, and the tightly controlled App Store released a year later in 2008 that made the iPhone into, well, whatever you wanted it to be.
The original device was useful enough: It shipped with a built-in Apple apps for checking the Internet, weather, e-mail, texts, stocks, calendars and the time. But when the App Store opened, people suddenly had access to a stockpile of well-designed third-party apps, and developers were able to build an astonishing variety of custom apps.
With the right app, an iPhone could track the sun, sync shopping lists, be a drum machine, take restaurant reservations, be a cash register. Meanwhile, Apple’s TV ads made “there’s an app for that” into a catchphase and a headline cliche.
In classic Steve Jobs style, Apple took complete control of the sales and app-approval ecosystem. Apps have to be approved by Apple before they can be sold, meaning fewer spam apps and viruses make it through to consumers. It also means the company can reject apps as it pleases — say, when a feature competes with an Apple product — to the occasional displeasure of the developer community.
The App Store has also created a new mini-economy. Apple has paid out more than $5 billion to developers, and that’s after taking a 30% cut off all app sales for itself. Today, there are more than 650,000 mobile apps available in the App Store, ranging from free to $1,000 for specialized business applications.
24/7 Internet
The iPhone ushered in an age of all Internet, all the time. For better or worse, it’s blurred the lines between work and home lives, made communication a round-the-clock habit and led to a host of new rules about when and how it’s appropriate to use smartphones (not while walking, driving, playing trivia or on a date, please).
The phone, whose price soon dropped to $200 or less with a two-year wireless contract, gave users instant access to a multitude of ways to communicate: texts, e-mail, Twitter, Instagram, Grindr, Foursquare, Facebook, FaceTime. There’s even a so-so phone on there. Mobile phones had limited Internet access before the iPhone, but the device’s browser was a huge improvement, displaying webpages more like they actually looked on a desktop computer.
All this connectivity brought a new disorder: smartphone addiction. A recent study by gadget-resale site Gazelle found that 15% of respondents would rather give up sex than go without their iPhones for a weekend. That type of titillating stat is not surprising to anyone for whom the iPhone is the last thing they see at night and first thing they check in the morning.
Supply-chain activism
As Apple grew from underdog into the largest company in the world by market cap (it made $108 billion in 2011), its manufacturing chain was pushed to greater and greater limits — and into the spotlight. The Foxconn plants in China that produce Apple’s iPhones, iPads and other products were called out in the press and by activist groups for poor working conditions, long hours and low wages.
While bad press for Apple, the controversy drew much-needed attention to electronics supply chains. The Foxconn plant was called out for producing Apple products, although it also assembles products for other major electronics companies including Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony and Intel.
To quell the backlash, major tech companies are feeling the pressure and changing how they operate. When he took over as Apple CEO, Tim Cook agreed to allow a third party, the Fair Labor Association, audit its China factories and address any issues that were found. And just this week, Google unveiled a media-streaming device, the Nexus Q, which is made in the U.S.
An industry revived
The iPhone may have helped kill the BlackBerry, but it gave birth to a new beefed-up genre of mobile devices. Google went on to release its own more developer-friendly mobile operating system, Android. Microsoft threw its hat into the ring with Windows Phone OS. Most major mobile phone companies now produce touchscreen smartphones.
Some might say the iPhone and its cousin, the iPod Touch, helped spawn the larger iPad, with its identical touchscreen interface. That hit device was birthed in 2010 and quickly created a new gadget market, leaving rivals scrambling to catch up. Now Amazon, Google and Microsoft all have new or forthcoming tablets.
The iPhone’s popularity as a portable gaming device — oh, how we love flinging virtual birds at virtual pigs! — also helped usher in a new era of mobile gaming.
Five years after the iPhone hit the market — and the culture — the tech industry as a whole is thriving and innovating. It probably won’t be another five years before the next big thing shakes up technology again.
