LG Optimus L-Style: Three Android Smartphones, Three Screen Sizes

LG promised it would be more present in the smartphone market in 2012, and here the firm is already unveiling a whole new range, the Optimus L-Style, comprising the L7, L5 and L3 Android handsets.

After outing the Prada 3.0 phone (review coming soon) and unveiling the unusual and intriguing Optimus Vu, LG has now announced three more Android smartphones.

There's a screen size for everyone in this new mobile range too, as the Optimus L7 has a 4.3-inch screen, the Optimus L5 has a 4-inch screen and the Optimus L3 has a 3.2-inch screen. 

The L7 and L5 run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich while the L3 sticks with Gingerbread 2.3. All three handsets have a similar design, with a slimline casing, metal edges and one of LG's 'Floating Mass' touchscreens, as seen in the Prada 3.0. This home-grown technology sets the screen closer to the upper panel to make it look as if the display is floating on the surface rather than set back from it. 

The entry-level Optimus L3 will use a 1500 mAh battery and is due to land in Europe in March. As yet, there's no word on release dates for the L5 and L7.

We can only hope that the L7, L5 and L3 will be a little bit more practical to hold than LG's lovely models seem to suggest.
