LG Optimus F3 Review

T-Mobile and Metro PCS (MS659)     See other variants reviews Score: 58.5 / 100

LG Optimus F3 is a good quality device released in June 2013, which features a 4-inches multi-touch screen, a Dual-Core CPU speeding at 1.2 gigahertz, a 5 MP back camera and a 0.3 MP front side camera.

This time, it seems like LG didn't care much about the weight in this 4 oz phone. This phone's thickness (0.4") is a little bit far from current standards, but it still feels quite fine in the user's hand. This cellphone is quite a compact cellphone, taking into consideration it presents a 4 inches screen and it is just 4.57" long.

LG ships this cellphone with a high-tech 1.2 gigahertz Dual-Core processing unit, packed into the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8930 system chip and only 1 GB RAM memory which is a bit poor for such a great device. Graphic rendering usually eats a lot of CPU time, so the LG Optimus F3 also has an additional Adreno 305 graphic processing unit ticking at 450 megahertz to take some work out of the CPU. The LG Optimus F3 comes with a 4 GB internal storage memory, a moderate quantity that should be enough for the average user considering that it also has a slot for an SD memory card to store photos and videos.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front side camera. It is capable of shooting 1920x1080 Full HD videos. This camera also features a few nice characteristics like flash, fast burst mode, auto-focus and geo tagging.

This cellphone has a interesting 800 x 480 4-inches screen, which makes all images and videos look vivid. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

This cellphone has a 2460 mAh long lasting Li-Ion replaceable battery, enough to provide this device with a great battery life. LG claims this cellphone has a 757 hours stand by time and a 13.5 hs talk time.

This device provides Wi-Fi connection (which it can share with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), LTE (4G) high performance connectivity and 3G connection type, over EV-DO A technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card for GSM connection and it can work with both GSM and CDMA carriers.

This phone also comes with a couple of cool features as NFC, Bluetooth and GPS Geolocation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The LG Optimus F3 is not very convinient considering it is offerred for 180 dollars, and many similar cellphones are offerred way cheaper than that. This phone is definitely the correct option for you no matter if you are looking for a social phone, want this phone for work or want a gaming device.
