LG Optimus Sol Review

(E730, E730F) Score: 53.1 / 100

LG Optimus Sol is a mid-to-low level Android cellphone released back in the year 2011, counting with a great performance CPU running at 1000 megahertz, a medium 3.8-inches multi-touch capacitive screen, and two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front side camera. Let's take a closer view of what this cellphone can give us.

This phone feels much lighter than what you expect from a cellphone this size. Being just 0.38 inches thick,this device is very slim and stilized.

LG equipped this cellphone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 MSM8255 system chip, backed up by a good performance 1000 MHz CPU with 512 MB of RAM memory. Graphic rendering generally uses lots of processor cycles, so the LG Optimus Sol also has an extra Adreno 205 graphic processing unit working at 245 MHz to take some work out of the processor. This phone has a poor 1 GB internal storage memory, which may be enough for basic users having that the LG Optimus Sol also has an external SD slot to store photographs and videos.

The LG Optimus Sol includes a interesting 800 x 480 3.8 inches display, providing this device with a nice graphical experience. This display uses Ultra AMOLED capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This phone features wi-fi connection (although it can't be provided to other devices around, acting as a hotspot) and the fastest 3G internet connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The LG Optimus Sol uses a SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

The LG Optimus Sol has two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 0.3 MP front facing camera. It can also film HD 1280x720 videos at 30 frames per second. This device also features auto-focus.

This device also comes with a couple nice features such as Bluetooth (3.0), GPS Geolocation and FM Radio, and a couple sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

This phone counts with a 1500 mAh mid capacity Li-Ion battery that can keep this cellphone running for some hours, although you will need to charge it after some moderate to heavy usage. This device has an estimated stand by time of 400 hours and a talk time of 5 hs.

This cellphone is priced around $ 110, which is very expensive for a phone this level. In case are looking for a cellphone to mainly use social networks, this cellphone is probably the right choice .
