LG Optimus F3 Review

Sprint (LS720)     See other variants reviews Score: 58.4 / 100

LG Optimus F3 is a pretty good phone released many years ago, including a 4" multi touch capacitive screen, an extremely powerful Dual-Core processor speeding at 1.2 gigahertz, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front-facing camera.

This phone ships with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8930 chip, packing an exceptional 1200 MHz Dual-Core processor with only 1 GB RAM which is a little disappointing for such a solid cellphone. Graphic intensive games and apps often eats lots of processing power, so it counts with a 450 megahertz Adreno 305 GPU to help handle those graphic tasks. This phone comes with areasonable 4 GB internal memory, which is enough for the vast majority of users having that it also has an external memory slot to store songs, photographs and videos and even some apps that allow external memory installation.

This cellphone is a very compact device, considering it presents a 4 inches display and it is only 4.57 inches long and 2.44 inches wide. The LG Optimus F3's thickness , 0.4 inches, is a little bit far from nowadays standards, but it still feels fine in the hand. LG appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 4 ounces cellphone.

LG packed the LG Optimus F3 with a nice 4" display, and a resolution of 800 x 480 , which makes all photos and movies look very nice. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This phone has two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back side camera and a 0.3 MP front side camera. It can also shoot videos in Full HD 1920x1080. To complete the camera, it also features a couple of interesting characteristics like flash, fast burst mode, auto-focus and geo tagging.

This cellphone includes wifi connectivity (and it can be provided to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) fast internet connection and 3G data connection, over EV-DO A technologies. This phone uses a SIM card to connect to GSM networks and it can work with both CDMA and GSM carriers.

The LG Optimus F3 also includes some interesting characteristics such as Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone features a 2460 mAh great Li-Ion replaceable battery, enough to provide this cellphone with an impressive battery duration. According to LG, this phone has a reported 16 hs talk time and a 216 hs stand by time.

LG is offering this phone for 180 dollars, which is high for comparing with similar phones. No matter if you will use it as a gaming cellphone, want this phone for work or will use it majorly for internet broswing and social networks, you will definitely love this phone.
