LG Optimus L7 P700 - Design and OS
Key Features: 4.3inch touchscreen;
5.0 megapixel camera;
4GB of memory;
1Ghz processor;
NFC
Manufacturer: LG
Design
Let's start with the positives, though. The L7's stylish design belies its mid-range pricing. Available in white or black - we had the white one in for review - it looks very classy, partly because it's so slim - it measures a mere 8.7mm thick - but also because the glossy white bezel framing the screen blends nicely with the chrome band that runs around the outer edge of the phone. It’s quite angular, which some people won’t like, and the largish 4.3inch screen means it feels quite broad when you’re holding it in your hand. However, that’s the nature of these large screen handsets and the L7’s display runs almost to the edge of the phone, so we don’t really see how LG could have made it any narrower.
Like the cheaper Optimus L3, the battery cover on the rear of the phone has a textured pattern. It feels a bit like corrugated cardboard to the touch, which detracts slightly from the phone’s premium feel. However, it is very grippy and because the pattern is grooved, rather than dimpled, it doesn't gather dust in the same way the rear of the L3 does.
Touch buttons
The button placement is good, too. The power/lock button sits at the top while the volume buttons have been placed on the left hand edge. Google may be pushing to rid Android of hardware buttons, but LG has still opted for a physical Home button beneath the screen. This sits between two touch buttons for the back and multi-tasking keys (even though the latter is used as an option key rather than a multifunction key, but that's Android consistency for you). Naturally, there's a standard headphone jack at the top and a microUSB port on the bottom. In fact, it's the same layout as Samsung's currently employing on its Galaxy handsets.
Prize off the battery cover – easier said than done as there’s no obvious groove to get your fingernail into – and you’ll find the microSD card slot easily accessible, so you don't have to remove the battery to get at it.
Ice Cream Sandwich
Unlike a lot of current mid-range Android phones, this one comes loaded with Android 4.0 – Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) – so hats off to LG for that. However, the company couldn’t help itself from adding its own Optimus UI 2.0 skin over the top. And while the phone may run ICS, there are a few curious omissions. The face unlock feature that lets you unlock your handset by pointing the front facing camera at your boat race is missing, and it doesn't let you resize homescreen widgets – one of ICS’s key new features.
However, you can press and hold the home button to bring up a list of all the apps than you've be using of late, complete with thumbnail images of each, so you can tap on one to instantly return to it. It also let's you dismiss individual notifications just by swiping them off the screen and there’s a handy panoramic mode in the camera app, as well as some neat photo editing tools including an autofix option and some Lomo-style effects. Also, because the L7 has NFC you can transfer files to other NFC phones using the new the Beam feature by bumping them together.
Thankfully LG’s Optimus UI doesn't really change the look and feel of Android too much. There are five home screens to play with and as you swipe from one to the other the background wallpaper pans slightly and the shortcuts zoom out of view via a neat 3D effect. The bar at the bottom of the screen houses up to five apps shortcuts or folders and you can change these at will. The app drawer is also divided up into sections, with entries for apps, downloads and widgets. To access different pages you simply scroll horizontally

LG Optimus 4X HD P880 All Phones
LG Optimus 4X HD
LG Optimus 4X HD is redefining the meaning of fast as it ushers in a new era of brilliant Hypermedia performance. Burst through daily barriers with accelerated multitasking powered by the superior Quad Core Engine. Treat your eyes to stunningly crisp and vividly real browsing, gaming and viewing on the True HD 4.7" bright display. Completing the evolution of smart with swagger is its sleek design. Go ahead, turn it on and show it of
The LG Optimus 4X HD is advanced, well advanced in terms of Interface
and the Operating system, having the Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 OS, with
the latest version of their User Interface which looks brilliant, and
this area is one of those which LG seriously made huge changes in.
Having such an intuitive and impressive interface along with the strong
1.5 GHz processor is a big plus factor. The processor is a 1.5GHz one,
quad-core Tegra 3 one which doesn’t slow down the phone at all although
some heavy usage with multiple applications running at once.   |

The welcome screen / lock screen has a central lock which has to be
dragged and that is neatly made to expose the internal page or
notification while the circle is expanded by the dragging of the lock.
The time, date are located on the top center and the notification panel
cannot be opened unless the phone screen is unlocked. There are 7 home
screens, most of them filled with the pre-loaded widgets and shortcuts,
and the home screens shift beautifully with the widgets getting folded
like the wings of the butterfly.   |
The notification panel serves a lot of purposes which include -
   |
| The 4X has got a RemoteCall service which makes the company
representative remotely control your device and support the device to
make any changes whenever you need any help. This is a handy option
where you don’t need to visit the LG service centers when the phone
gives up or doesn’t respond well to a command at any time. The other basic applications in the LG Optimus 4X HD are the App Manager, Backup, FM Radio, Finance app, Email, LG Tag+, Polaris Office, Task Manager, LG SmartWorld. As always seen in the Android phones, the Google apps like Search, Gmail, Google Talk, Google Maps, Youtube and Google+ are available pre-installed. Picasa is a neat addition to the list, making it one of the options to backup the photos to the Google server. There is no swype for typing, so you would have to rely on any 3rd party typing apps if you don’t want to prefer using the standard keyword pressing each alphabet separately, or the phone does have the Voice-to-text conversion if you are too lazy to type. The Email app of the 4X takes the support of Microsoft Exchange for sending and receiving mails, but it is for those who are looking for something different from the Gmail app which too comes preinstalled. Entertainment is through the Media Home app, which showcases the Photos, Videos and Music at one place. We would discuss about the beauty of the Video and Music players below. The Gallery lists all of the photos and videos categorized based on how they were captured. Both the pictures and videos captured using the phone camera are located under a single folder, while the screenshots or pictures taken from an external source are located in different folders. There are multiple sharing options for the media files, including Bluetooth, Email, Gmail, Google+, Memo, Messaging, Picasa, SmartShare and the number would rise based on the external applications you download and use.    The Interface is neat, looks vibrant and the load of wallpapers and widgets can make things far interesting, but LG doesn’t have those special features that the users can boast about, which the Galaxy S III users would show off. Considering how less LG had cared about the OS (keeping all its recent phones on Gingerbread OS) and the interface in the recent past, the 4X’s interface makes one feel happier to see a lot of makeover. The Android Play Store gives people several options to customize the interface but the 4X already comes with such launcher-like options, keeping the need for the 3rd party apps aside. LG Tag+ is an application which helps in easy saving and loading of the settings to the NFC tag, and the same app would make the customizations to suit the certain environments. One would need to select the tag setting and write it to the tag. The environments in which the users can select the mode for NFC include the Car Mode, Office Mode, Sleep Mode and the User Mode.    |

| USB Connectivity – Lot of options when the phone is
connected to the computer using the USB connection, where one could set
the phone to just charging, or connect via. Media Sync, LG Software,
Camera (to transfer photos), or USB tethering so that the phone’s
internet is shared with the computer. Connecting to the LG software is possible very well through the Wi-Fi too, where you get a separate option for the same. One of the options that we really liked is the On-Screen Phone settings, where the screen of the phone is displayed and controlled from the PC, just like one would do the remote access to the phones from the computer. Call quality – The quality of the voice through the ear piece is sharp and neat, but the speakers on the back are placed at a wrong place, making it hard to hold in the hands when you want to have the access to the buttons on the sides, and keep the speaker exposed at the same time. At silent environment, the speaker quality is good and clear but when you try to use it in an open place, the Optimus 4X is nothing in front of the Sony Ericsson and Samsung phones, keep the comparison with Nokia phones aside. Multimedia – The Media Home would grab the attention, with all the media content at one place. Opening this app would make you feel like having a media player in your hands rather than a smartphone. The hub has 3 large thumbnails for Videos, Photos and Music. Settings show that the Media Home gets activated when the phone is connected to the MHL cable, or is mounted and connected to a desk cradle. Photos in the Media Home can be viewed through a slide show with a few settings.  |

| Video player is excellent, totally refreshed and has
options that no recent Android smartphone has got. Multiple options,
including the video preview and speeding up the video playing, locking
the screen etc. Performance and Battery Life Performance wise, the LG Optimus 4X HD has to get a lot of appreciation. Try to test it in many ways, the phone just won’t easily break down in performance. May be that’s because we didn’t have a lot of new additions of applications, or change in lot of settings, but still the problems that we see in the initial stages of other devices is not seen in the Optimus 4X. The quad-core Tegra 3 processor clocking at 1.5 GHz speed and having the support of 1GB RAM, the LG Optimus 4X HD has got enough to handle the Ice Cream Sandwich OS. Talk about the Benchmark tests, it is no where beating the Samsung’s masterpiece, the Galaxy S III, but we’ll talk about the actual performance here with both the devices beside each other and doing the same functions – we didn’t notice any much difference and no lagging of performance of the 4X. But along with the good performance and speed, we had expected a good battery life, which didn’t happen to the expectations. It gave a decent time of usage, and is not totally a fast draining battery that LG has got, but when they considered huge changes in the interface, internal specs, the battery should have been kept better for a longer life. A full charge with all the normal usage, a few videos and some time of camera usage saw the battery last for a full day. | ||
