When LG announced its Q4 2012 results, the company announced that it
will be focusing on LTE-enabled phones, which included the launch of the
new F series. After a bit of teasing, the F series is now official with the LG Optimus F5 and Optimus F7.
“With adoption of LTE expected to explode in 2013, we are sending a
clear message to con-sumers with the Optimus F Series that LTE isn’t
just for heavy content users and techies anymore. It’s for everyone,”
said LG CEO Jong-seok Park
The LG Optimus F7 is the higher end model of the two with a 4.7” True
HD IPS 720p screen (312ppi) and a 1.5GHz dual-core processor with 2
gigs of RAM. The phone has an 8MP camera and 8GB of built-in storage
(plus a microSD card slot). The F7 measures 131.7 x 68.2 x 9.6mm.
Then there’s the LG Optimus F5 with a 4.3” IPS LCD screen of qHD
resolution (256ppi), a 1.2GHz dual-core processor with 1GB RAM and a 5MP
camera. It has 8GB of built-in storage and microSD card slot too. The
F5 is more compact at 126.0 x 64.5 x 9.3mm.
Both phones will launch with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and will get
some of the advanced features that were reserved for the flagship
Optimus G until now. QSlide multitasking with ability to run two apps on
the screen (and you can resize, move and change the opacity of those
apps) and Live Zooming, which lets the user pinch zoom while watching a
video.
LG wants both phones to have good battery life, so the Optimus F7
comes with a 2,540mAh battery, while the smaller F5 isn’t far behind
with 2,150mAh (best-in-class, according to LG, but not as big as the
2,460mAh battery in the L7 II, which doesn’t have LTE).
The LG Optimus F5 will launch in Europe in Q2, followed by the
Optimus F7 in select markets. Both phones will see a global launch
though exact details for that will be released later.
And, of course, both phones will be at the MWC which starts next week
– we’ll be there for some hands-on impressions of these two and the
others gadgets that LG has in store.
