LG Optimus L7 II girl
As was the case last year, we already knew what LG was going
to bring to Barcelona, and we got exactly what we were expecting -- the
5.5-inch Optimus G Pro and the mid-range Optimus L II series. The
cumbersomely-named Optimus L3 II, L5 II and L7 II aren’t particularly exciting
to smartphone nerds, but they should be staple LG phones for Europe and parts
of Asia, just as the original L series was. (We were actually surprised how
many of these things lined the walls of Spanish carrier stores.)
At a dinner on Sunday night LG gave Phil a Korean-model
Optimus G Pro to try out, and this became his go-to device for the rest of the
week. Despite looking like the Galaxy Note 2’s evil twin, the G Pro is a very
impressive device in its own right. A 1080p screen really comes into its own on
a phone of this size, and the speed of the Snapdragon 600 SoC was clear to see
too. The Optimus G Pro was also the first non-Nexus device to be able to create
"Photosphere" 360-degree panoramas, though LG’s “VR Panorama”
feature. The UI is a little different, but the resulting images can be uploaded
to Google+ just the same as shots created on the Nexus 4. And some of them are
genuinely impressive, thanks to the phone’s superior 13-megapixel camera.
