Conclusion
The Optimus L7 has a nice screen, Ice Cream Sandwich and a fairly practical LG overlay, but all these strengths are hindered by a lack of speed and fluidity that quickly gets on your nerves. The HTC One V, which is similar to the L7 but with a smaller screen, functions more smoothly on the whole.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 delivers a first-rate user experience. With its top-notch hardware, this handset never flinches or falters. On top of that, Samsung has loaded the S3 with plenty of innovative new software features—most of which are pretty good—as well as an excellent camera and a powerful battery. The Galaxy S3 is clearly an iconic new Android phone, but for such an exciting handset, it's a shame to see such a conventional design.
