LG Optimus F7 - User Reviews

  • Good fone only issue it drops 3g signals one minute after every 10 minute. It takes about 3.30 to 4 hours to complete a charge m using lg g2 s battery which is 2610mah

  • This was my first Android. And while I used LG Arena, LG Renoir, I expected good camera, and sweet music player yet with the smoothness of the iPhone, and the productivity of Blackberry. Hey, 3/4 is not bad. This phone had a big screen, was fluid and smooth unlike previous droids I have seen, keyboard was easy on the eyes, music player had Dolby like the LG Arena which made it sound awesome! Camera was ehh.. not so great but got the job done. This phone was a lot of fun and a pleasure to work with! After a year it cracked. Other than basic apps like FB IG Twitter and not installing risky apps, this phone worked flawlessly. Did notice Android OS doesnt age well unlike iPhone or Blackberry which tend to last very well, which droids OS seem to age horridly and become obsolete within a year. If this phone had not broke it would still work. Great machine. Now I own the LG G4, HTC One M9, Samsung Galaxy S6, iPhone 5S, Blackberry Classic and Z30 and all are a joy to work with

  • I owned this phone for a long time already 1 yr and a half i think ... And i found no issues at all ... Its just the way you use your phone that makes you get problems ... Im a heavy user i can say ... A lot of games and apps installed movies and other big files are saved in my sd and internal stoeage but lags are seldom ... More often times its smooth and fluid ... I can say this phone is way too prettier than the galaxy sIII

  • I have had phone for almost a year, started out good, but really sucks now. Apps are constantly closing or not responding, screen goes black, goes back to start screen in middle of doing things, will shut off with fully charged battery. Think it is time for a new phone

  • Horrible your SD card doesn't hold music and your apps keep closing and it restarts in the middle of a conversation its just a horrible phone

  • Overall good phone But i m suffering from two thing 1. Date goes to 1970 on restarting the fone. So watsapp and other apps give error on every restart .updating manually each time ... 2. Drops 3G signals after every 10 mints Any suggestions .. I m frm Pakistan

  • So pretty This mobile so fast and it has a 2gb of ram . I ask you witch is best lte3 vs samsung s3.

  • I purchased this phone because it says it's GSM compatible. The model I have is LG870 and when i tried to get it unlocked, it doesn't work. I'm moving to Australia and now have to purchase a different phone unless anyone has any suggetions.

  • why gsmarena dose not post about the gpu of lg mobiles

  • LG LTE2 OR LG LTE3/F7? Which is better? I like the design of lte3 but the lte2 has 2gb of ram.

  • please share ur experience about f260s ,s 3g and 4g speeds, is net speed is as good as any quadcore like optimus g could have?

  • does it work in the Philippines?. gsm, 3g and Lte?

  • Use FolderMouont to move anything bro!

  • You can move any apps and games by using FolderMount :) Me using this LTE3 and this is super good cheap smartphone with high quality screen, function, design...

  • Sorry for everybody who try to move apps to sd card.All apps are made for internal memory and the extenal memory is for music,photos and videos

  • link2sd

  • Supposedly this phone packs an Adreno 225 GPU

  • Gpu ?? Can anyone tell

  • I've had the phone for less than a month ..so its a great phone best i've had yet ..my only issue is how do move apps to my sd card....can anyone tell me plz

  • I've had this phone for 5 months I love it. It does everything I need. I have a 16 gig SD card so I can have 3 to 4 movies at any time. My only complaint is I can't seem to get those movies to my flatscreen TV.....my phone is smarter than my TV....its a great phone though

  • Apparently this phone does not support MHL, but only "miracast" to view on an external display, any one have experience with MHL working for this phone?

  • What about the gpu? does it have any gpu ? If yes, whats the model of the gpu?

  • this phone has a 1.5 dual core snapdragon which is one of the best processors out there

  • Got this phone for christmas and it is an wonderful phone. The battery lasts way longer than my older phones and the large bright screen is great. I would recommend this phone for anyone willing to update in the near future.

  • It's strange why this hasn't been delivered to eastern europe yet. There, LGs are very popular because of low price and high performance. :) it's a bit cheap looking and feeling in hand,but a very nice price ratio. Waiting.. :)

  • When this phone will be available in Estonia ? :)

  • When it is going to be available in Estonia ? :)

  • When it is going to be available in Estonia ? :)

  • yes, Hi do you think this phone is available in the Fiji Islands yet?could you confirm and the pricing as well?

  • is this phone works, on the philippines...?

  • hands down best phone ever! love everything about it!

  • It depends on how you use it, if you use for Web Browsing, this phone lasts longer than SG4, but for Watching Movies it lasts a bit shorter.

  • How about battery back up? it's good like S4 or not?

  • There are probably 2 models of this phone: Lg Optimus F7 and Optimus Lte3, F7 works perfectly on GSM network 2G/3G and also LTE network, and Optimus Lte3 F260 is Korean-bound which also works on GSM network and LTE network. In Cambodia, this phone is available as Optimus Lte3 which works perfectly on GSM mode (2G and 3G)

  • Yes, it works on 2G and 3G.

  • In Cambodia, this phone is already available as LG LTE3 F260 which cost around 210$ in secondhand. In fact, this phone is not yet officially released in here, but lots of Cambodian retailers import it directly from Korea.

  • When will be available in Hungary?

  • when's this gonna be available in the philippines?

  • When will it be available in India? Why are they making delay to launching in India. not only this model most of the LG mobiles

  • Is it works in GSM network? coz in LG site its shown CDMA as connectivity. but here in gsmarena both GSM and CDMA bandwidths are mentioned. anyone who knows clearly pls.clarify this thanks

  • It is written just have a better look: it has a 1.5 gigahertz dualcore...

  • Is there anyone who bought the phone who knows what processor is inside? It's strange GSM arena has no info

  • Is this Phone only CDMA on boost mobile or also is "GSM" it can works with a "SIM" card?

  • Ah, apologizes for not clarifying that I was talking about the "RAM" being 1gb. The "ROM" or "internal storage" is indeed 4gb available out of the 8gb advertised. Appreciate the response anyway. Wish I knew why all the review sites give different amounts of RAM. Had my hopes up for 2gb's, why LG... why...

  • I work for boost mobile and love this phone it actually has 4gig internal storage not 1 or 2

  • Why is the ram listed as 2gb on here and only 1gb on boostmobiles website. Is it seriously the case that the North American version of this phone got nerfed down to 1gb? Just picked this up yesterday and see 1gb ram on the phone... Hope someone can help clarify this matter, thanks.

  • when will be available in Europe????

  • I dont believe they don't want to release this model for global market. It would sell so good, I want 2540 mah battery!!!!!!!11

  • Is F7 only for the US market? Not likely to be released in europe. I guess we have to settle for F5.

  • If specs are looking good for one android phone-this is that one.2GB RAM with 2540mAhLi-ion battery,4.7 inch screen,1.5 Ghz dual core processor...These are perhaps the best specifications and best in terms of battery capacity among android phones currently in the market and price around 25000 Rs. in India is not very high ,compared to Samsung gs4 or motorola/sony/HTC phones in the same range(for many such a range doesn't even exist yet)

  • Not really. This phone has the same specs as the galaxy s3(US variant) and that phone is not pit dated at all. This phone came out a year later than the s3 with a newer processor and a better screen. Plus specs hardly matter these days when it comes to high end devices. It's just a matter of it working to all the bluff it has to offer.

  • The most obvious missing detail is its GPU and chipset. Why isn't it mentioned ? Or Why wasn't the information supplied to gsmarena ? Either way I'm not going for a phone with an almost outdated spec sheet and half information.

  • Dude, you realize a gud phone is around 25,000 and anything beyond it is obviously good. So, what were you thinking ? Do you seriously think you'll get a gud phone at 10,000 with a reputation ? No international OEM sells at that price. The only logical choice is Lumia 620 or Lumia 520 and of course its not Android. C'mon Naruto...Mashashi Kishimoto would not be proud of you

  • Probably you are right

  • no one in their right mind would make that phone with those specs, that's the secret of all these phone companies. they never give us what we want so we are tempted to change phomnes like every few months. it's all marketing bull.

  • i hope its not,.ive been waiting for this phone to come.. hoping that it will be available here in Philippines soon maybe by july or august :)

  • Knowing lg, it's gonna be available next year or maybe even never.

  • is this phone going to be available in the Philippines by November?

  • id say nokia lumia 520 or HTC 8s class phones............

  • USA bro.....

  • please suggest me a gud andriod phone around 10000 the phone has gud reputation in market

  • specs say "released 2013, June". it doesn't even have the complete specs list. has anyone seen it yet? released where? anyone?

  • Please gsmarena...review about this phone before I buy it. When will arrive in Indonesia and how much it's price?????

  • lol this phone is mid range. if you want great lg phone G PRO. or you can wait for upcoming G2

  • lg plz improved your product .5 inch, true hd IPS Display,water proof and scratch resistant,more than 450 ppi,android 4.2.2,corilla glass 3 protection,3150 mah user replacable battery,then optimus UI 4.0. 13.1 mega pixel primary camera with auto focus, and 3.2 mega pixel secondary camera,digital zoom 8x,dual LED Flash and notification LED, 64 GB Internal memory and external up to 64 GB,3 GB ram.2 stereo speakers,dolby mobile.2 GHZ Quad core processor,snap dragon 600,Adreno 320,dual sim is your optional.one of the part is talk to about you headset.make to bring wireless head phone with volume controller.playstation certified for game users.

  • Excellent phone at this price. Screen, battery are excellent. Is it available in India?

  • Why gsm no mentioned clear info for this model?? becos i want to know the detail, the first looking i ready interested.

  • i hope it will have radio with rds, i will be very disapointed if not.

  • Probably July. Sometimes it's worth reading previous comments.

  • this information about f7 is incomplete,,. this phone has gorilla glass and led flash. more information are missing here.

  • as if, you are so desperate for a scratch resistant display... won't you use a screen guard on a scratch resistant display???.. everyone uses them.. is just a marketing gimmick...gorilla glass

  • Yeah did they say when is it coming out? i've been waiting for this one a long time now. thought about getting a razr i, or even a nexus 4, but i'd rather have this one and be done with it. my poor old defy has seen enough..

  • Why do we have to wait such a long time to release this phone??? C'mon LG hehe.

  • it has LED flash light

  • Why this phone no Camera LED flash? really unhappy of this....

  • it should have mhl and usb otg features , and touch should be really good and without lag should perform anything and clarity should be there in camera as in good color saturation

  • I also plan to buy this one after it is released. Best phone for me till now

  • Looks like July is the estimated release date. The other models have a Snapdragon chipset and an Adreno GPU so this will most likely have the same. I thought an Xperia would be promising but I don't know what's going on with their software. This phone looks like a very good contender and providing there aren't any issues with it once it's released I'll probably get one.

  • 1.When LG wants Release this phone? 2.What is model of Cpu & Gpu of this phone? Thanks

  • You should read the specs in right hand side carefully again, i extract from that link the info of Gorilla glass as below: 4.7 "True HD IPS (IPS panel TFT LCD) 720 x 1,280 (720p HD, WXGA) 312 ppi pixel density Brightness 550 nit (cd / m²) Gorilla Glass 2 16777216 (224 (24-bit)) color Gorilla Glass 2

  • You should read the specs in right hand side carefully again, i extract from that link the info of Gorilla glass as below: 4.7" True HD IPS (IPS 패널 TFT LCD) 720 x 1,280 (720p HD, WXGA) 화소 밀도 312 ppi 휘도 550 nit(cd/m²) 고릴라 글래스 2 16777216 (224(24 비트)) 색상 고릴라 글래스 2 --> This is Gorilla glass 2

  • Correct link:

  • there's no mention of gorilla glass in this article :D

  • LG has equiped Gorilla Glass 2 for Optimus F7 as you can see in below link: Pls use google translate it into English :D

  • vin, you are absolutely right. this is the first time i saw such a very thoughtful & straight to the point comment. I had the same thought too. no doubt they have a very good business plan from the beginning.

  • vin, you are absolutely right. this is the first time i saw such a very thoughtful & straight to the point comment. I had the same thought too. no doubt they have a very good business plan from the beginning.

  • this will be the l9 ii marked my words... l9 ii will be based on this..........

  • you are absolutely right...

  • This is the trick of mobile companies-when they can easily put in all good specs on one phone they won't do it.There is no competition between these mobile companies like motorola, LG,samsung,htc,apple,nokia,sony etc.They support each other by not giving everything in one phone when they can easily do.For example this one is almost okay in all except no scratch resistant display.This is their trick,donot fall for it,unless they give up this cheap trick and come up with good phones with all good specs- good battery life,scratch resistant display and RAM size atleast 2GB ,which they are surely capable.

  • Specs are all cool...But where the hell is the LED or XENON flash? Then it would compete with some great phones, yeah.

  • no gorilla glass?? wth

  • Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 GPU: Adreno 225 Weight: 134 grams FM radio with RDS

  • What its CPU ????? Please ????

  • I'm also buying my first android! Anytime before school starts (it starts early June here) and I want this too, except based on LG's track record, this won't see the light of day for a while... I just hope that they prove me wrong because I'm now planning to buy LG L9 but I really want this one ://

  • Hahahaa at that time i rplying u im using my SgNote..n u can c my coment at sgnote gsmarena there or gsmarena tab 7.7 i hve tab also..next i will get S4 for my son n Xperia zl for me..maybe end of may or june..k bye bye go on with ur forum,.i didnt say LG Bad cos i also had lg L7

  • thanks for the reply :) If the processors are same then i would stick to Xperia SP. I'll sacrifice that additional gig of ram for better looks....

  • Been waiting for this device ever since i first saw it's announcement and it's been too long already over 2 months now and still nothing , not even an official release date .... Nice work LG ,Late as usual .

  • Too bad that the G and G pro are only availible in some markets I hope that LG will release F7 internationally the same that they did with the optimus L9.

  • The better option for manufacturers is to remove the SD card slot and increase the internal storage to 64GB. LG when are u going to release this phone in SG? With a huge battery, I hope it's browsing time is on par with HTC One and endurance rating at least 72 hrs.

  • nice

  • Very nice phone. But be careful about one aspect the low internal memory 8GB. In android you can install the app and game data only on internal memory. So you cannot install many big games and apps as internal memory would be too low.

  • Xperia SP's style is a killer but the non-removable battery is a somewhat i dont like. The specs are great. S4 pro is the processor not Snapdragon 600. LG F7's battery is removable, nice design, 2gb of RAM! They are almost the same. But I will go with LG :)

  • but this phone has 2 gigs of RAM.

  • Yes bro u re right...i'm wrong to think higher number means better gpu. Checked it and now i know.

  • I'm going to get my first android after two months. should I go for LG Optimus F7 or Xperia SP? Does LG Optimus have Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 and LPDDR3 RAM? If yes, I'd definitely go for it...

  • be a part of revolution in smartphone industry follow this link.http://www.gsmarena.com/join_our_quest_for_­a_highend_compact_android_smartphone-news-5858.p­hp more than 7500 people followed.will you? Share it on facebook,twitter everywhere.

  • Snapdragon 400 with Andreno 305 is downgrade version if compare to Andreno 225 Andreno 225 can reach 60fps at nenamark 2 but Snapdragon 400 only reach below 40fps at nenamark 2 Example from HTC first with Snapdragon 400

  • If it comes with the same chipset as the xperia sp Ill buy this one.

  • I'm really tired of waiting for this one to be released ,I think this is the biggest problem LG is having , Announce today and release six months later .

  • where is the lg optimus f7 review

  • Then go buy it if it is not outdated. By the way, guys did u see that most phones do u notice that phones re debuting with snapdragon 400 dualcore and adreno305? could this be the reason Lg has concealed the overall processor and gpu? I confidently believe this phone will nt come with adreno225 bcos It is old and soon'd obsollet .

  • lg shld increase thier stores in india it has gud reputation they shld do it

  • I hope there will be Qi wireless charging.

  • note isnt crap , if note crap it mean ur phone also crap cos it Also Android all android crappp.!! end.Go to ios or window we android are all Crap

  • Yeah, i hope it will come with Andreno 320 too. But if only andreno 225 it's ok. Nenamark2 Xperia T/Tx/V can reach max 60fps, very good result.

  • hurry up lg! l9 has been a superhit phone from you in the indian market. f7 will perhaps enjoy an even better fate here around.imma buy this within a week of its india release.please release it soon.cant wait.

  • To me note is pure crap. Lower resolution screen plus a Weaker battery, extremely large. I don't buy phones to show off. I buy what i need and can comfortably handle. De only reason i think Lg delay de availability is so their other phones like Gpro, nexus 4, optG, 4Xhd... will sell out well 1st, then they'll release these midrangers to aid de highend ones to accentuate Lg's globalization. Besides q2 is 2months ahead. I'm nt in a hurry to see it launch as am barely prepared to buy it now if it does. i only wish it'll come with adreno 320gpu lik xperia sp. But euen with 225 it's still unbeatable. De battery and ram is just unheard of in any known midranger.

  • Typical LG ... Announce now and release 6 months later .

  • No flash

  • ya big but stil can handle with 1 hand n aftar using it for the first day i feel i would not let this pone left behind,i like to use this pone more than my Optimus L7

  • Yeah.. even Im using the note 1.. Pleased with it but sometimes it feels too big for phone calls

  • yup 4.7 is still ok cos aftar this i will sell my LG L7 n maybe i will try Optimus G..i will get it next

  • I would buy F7 rather than note1, F7 has a larger battery and the size is good enough for any user. The only FLAW is the 8GB internal, LG U SHOULD HAVE put a 64GB internal storage, no card slot is FINE!it could have been better than 2012 flagships, including the Optimus G. Please do an early release worldwide.

  • sorry LG Aftr hard research n think n lastly i bought smsungNote1..even it a bit older but it still a beast to beat..stil a big MONSTER in the group n the price is now sosoo Amazinggg..im hapy 2 use it . .lastly all think wisely b4 buy

  • Yeah but that's for the korean markets. Samsung did a similar thing with the s4. International version has exynos5octa while us version will ship with snapdragon 600 and It is confirmed. I may be wrong though, But i pray this assumption works out. Sony did it aftaall so why won't de international version of F7?

  • It use Andreno 225. Just see LG Optimus LTE III. F7 = LTE III Global version

  • I hope it doesn't come overpriced like The Xperia SP.I think the SP is a cool device and have nice specs but 545$ for a mid-range device is just crazy .

  • 100% true and that's what i hate most about LG .

  • Few weeks ago i heard some people asking what the gpu of this phone will be? To add to ur excitement, presumably though: Lg opt.f7 will come with adreno 320gpu. (not confirmed) I got this information from a sony's rival device- xseria sp. The xseria is designed to be directly competing against the optimus F7. Sony likely saw all that Lg has squeezed into this phone and didn't want to loose the battle. But sony hasn't nailed it. By contrast,though, xperia sp just like it predecessor-xperia ion pales in various benchmarks euen though it is 2mhz overclocked 1.7ghz than f7. Oops! I could set my F7 to 1.9ghz haha blow'em up. Thanks to set cpu. Sony sp still didn't improve the battery life, just 2,300 batt. Same old lcd screen, plus sony's timescape ui lacks the sheer customisations that lg's ui offers. Need i mention than f7 has 1gig more ram than sp. So far so good, the F7 remain the untouchable midranger. Eagerly waiting 4it.

  • The specs is perfect for my smartphone needs, huge removable battery(Sony's XSP is not) amazing screen to phone ratio, this will be comfortable for one hand use. Not excited about S4,G Pro, Z or any Full HD's and Quad cores. F7 is more than enough. Good job LG. I hope this will be released before the worthy competitor from Sony, the XSP. Cheaper with decent specs, in fact it's battery is much bigger than most of 2013 flagships.

  • LG's fatal mistake, announce today,release 6 months later worwide

  • lg common increase ur stores in india u can give a gud competition to samsung galaxy.

  • lg quality is gud but in india no distributors and handsets r not available in india for eg optimus l9 success model but no availability. should increase ur stores in india lg.

  • Yeah Don't forget Ion CPU GPU is outdated Snapdragon S3 + Andreno 220 = ION vs Snapdragon S4 + Andreno 225 = F7 Performance F7 can compete vs Quad Core A9 base (T3 and Exynos 4412)

  • Xperia ion maybe cheaper than f7 but it is far from better than f7. Advantages of f7 over ion is just innumerable, for example 4.7" over 4.5" screen. Android 4.1 jellybean out of de box while x.ion is still on old outdated gingerbread. F.7 has 2gigs ram, ion has 1gig Although both use dualcore cpu f7 will be flawless in multitasking. F7 has true hd ips screen x.ion has Lcd screen which has reportedly been offering worse viewing angles than pentile amoled screens. And yes, the huge 2,540 removable batt. Over sony's 1900 unremovable battery. like i pointed out de list goes on... My question is just why does Lg lagg behind in pushing it's devices soon after announcement? This is bad, real bad!

  • Samsung phones are available in all stores worldwide. LG phones are NOT available in India in any leading stores like Croma or reliance digital or Mobile Store. besides having good quality, customers can't able to buy LG because of unavailability of phone in leading stores. the after sales service are good and is located in all major cities. LG pls don't step in Motorola way.

  • Xperia Ion has got better specifications than F7 at a lower price than F7. HD display 12mp camera with exmor sensor 1080@30 fps HD video 1.5ghz dual processor 13gb inbuilt mem expandable 32 gb bravia engine hdmi port NFC upgradable to android 4.1 27k INR. while F7 doesn't match these specs and price is between INR 27 and 30k. in fact F7's specs match match with HTC desire SV, Samsung grand. HTC desire sv cost around 19k INR Samsung grand 21k INR so i think F7 must cost around between 20 - 23k INR. F7 didn't lunched in India yet. the only plus point in this phone is its 4G phone .

  • Here we are again, LG 's failure is releasing quickly to specific and delaying so much for a worldwide elease. I was hoping to buy F7, but the price mentioned, i cant simply afford.

  • This phone is a rival to Samsung Grand. both phones are having about same specifications. but this phone is bit expensive than Grand and xperia ion. Samsung is trying to release its new products worldwide that too by keeping its cost as minimal as it can. hence most people is opting Samsung. I have a question. why don't LG and Sony release its products worldwide rather than releasing products at specific region wise? i am using Optimus GT540 for more than 3 years. now looking a midrange phone. but $533 is too expensive.

  • What? 550 USD .too expensive

  • Already released in Korea. In Korea Optimus F7 is Optimus LTE III. Price is 553USD (600,000 won).

  • I do like this phone for a price of 400USD. Unfortunately, it was already out in Korea for a price of 553$ (600,000 Won). In Korea this Optimus F7 is Optimus LTE III. Sorry I can't afford it.

  • If only that battery would fit into the 4XHD.

  • ya in SEA we nver had Optimus G..latest we only had Xperia Z n Buterfly.LG u are late again..but prize is Ok gud

  • This is called optimus lte iii in south korea.http://lgmobile.co.kr/mobile-phone/F260/LG­-F260S/

  • LG when are u going to release your 2013 lineup. The Optimus 4X HD was released 6 months after announcement and it failed as well as the Optimus G. If u will do the same(releasing after 6 months after announcement) you will fail. Samsung and Apple are doing a great job on releasing quickly after announcing their flagships.

  • Any news about the price or launch date ?

  • Looking at the RAM, i Think this phone can handle Mali800 quite well.

  • Check this out :

  • It has LED Flash .

  • Sorry for that misunderstanding , It's confirmed now that the Camera does have an LED Flash .

  • 8MP with No Camera Flash ...... Are you F...ing kidding me !!!!

  • LG Optimus F7,are you marry me,I love you so much!

  • this phone is great,for me, it is the most balance smart phone --- 4.7 inches (~312 ppi pixel density) + 2Gb RAM + Dual-core 1.5 GHz + large battery and more!! I like it so much!!!

  • mid range phone.. :P If u want quad check g pro..

  • it has camera flash

  • Why DualCore and not QuadCore???

  • Korea : Optimus LTE III .....

  • Approx 28000 INR

  • Can anyone tell me what is the expected price for this F7? Thank you.

  • No chipset :(

  • The gpu isn't disclosed yet. But it'll likely hover around adreno 220 or mali400 which isn't bad at all.

  • 8GB internal memory hUh??? ;(

  • Guys, do you know what is the GPU on the F7? it's not stated in the GSMarena phone specifications.

  • Is it a qualcom chipset? They ve not mentioned bout it. And what bout the price? I think they should ve made it L9 II insread F sereies.. Hope it wont be too pricey!

  • Yes, u re right about that. But in the world of smartphones there is nothing like perfect phone. Not euen the long awaited s4. On the other hand i like this becaus it will serve my needs just perfectly! It's de prize alone that could scare me off.

  • It's 2013 and am excited about this F7 more than any Full HD's and Quad core phones with lame battery. F7 designers made the right calculation, dual core,2GB ram, 720p 4.7 in screen and a huge battery. Smart-phone buyers choose the right balance of the specs. Hope LG would even put a 3000mah replaceable battery and at least 16GB internal memory and it will be a perfect phone even with dual core only.

  • That's de only potential barrier to this phone's massive hit. I guess it won't exceed 400usd but evidently it will cost more than L9 as the specs aren't nowhere equal.

  • Yes folks, it does have led flash and notification led. I ve seen de pictures from de front, back, sideways. It's de best thing that has happened to smartphones in 2013. Do you know why? it's a dualcore device with massive batterylife and garnishd with the most wanted version of android (jellybean) and on top of that comes with lg's newest innovations namely, quickmemo, q-slide etc. Heard my friends who owns 4x hd screaming quadgear for 4x so as to disable 2cores. hahaha, quadcore soc for now re plain overkill, but more ram,,, definitely is a necessity. Lg launch this baby quick!

  • Doesnt it have a led flash? Coz it would just suck. I mean,8mp and no flash?! Wtf!

  • i think it will be way more expensive then l9 because it has much better specs.....

  • I hope it has the same price as the L9 ,if so it's my new phone .

  • any news about the expected price of this phone?

  • how much is the phone going for?

  • LG is the best , I love the specs of this one especially the 2 Gigs of RAM it will make multitasking work without a glitch and i think it will have the same price as the L9 so it is a very good deal for anyone . Nice LG keep up the good work .

  • Shame it's missing NFC, it would have been my next phone

  • no problem for me... i want my phone even if will not get an update... once i buy a phone i always love it... i love my l9 and planning to buy f7. i hate other manufacturer for their over pricing because they need to return money spent for their billion dollar advertisement... lg phone is great.

  • best phone foe me too I LOVE LG!

  • Yes, LG majes wonderful hardware but they crap on software updates. When you buy a LG phone you end up relying on xda or cyanogenmod for updates.

  • best ever in this category .

  • LG Optimus F7 is the bst device For Me

  • yes

  • This is just complete power house with a big battery!!!!!

  • Can anyone please tell me whether there is a notification light in the phone ?

  • If priced around 450SGD, i will buy during release. It is humbly the BEST phone in 2013 leaving the Full HD's and Quad cores in he dark while this one continues to serve its owners tne next day without recharging.

  • similar to note II so samsung will have to drag LG to court

  • LG Optimus G pro 3140 mAh REMOVABLE BATTERY. F7 is not a FLAGSHIP PHONE, and it will not compete with Note2 okay. understand...

  • Hey,, come on... Not beat GN II yet!

  • Very nice looking phone from LG.

  • yeah me too as sony XUser

  • i agree, i hope this phone have the same price as lg l9. because i'm in indonesia, i have to wait a little longer to see this phone. btw, dual core with 2 gig of ram and even bigger battery capacity than samsung galaxy s3? that's amazing. i hope this phone can wake up some pepople in indonesia that seen lg like a pricey and untrustable phone. keepin' up,don't you agree with me (sorry for my bad english)

  • LG releasing another phone thats looks like my forgotten 4x HD. It seems dual core 2 gb phones run more or less the same as quad core 1 gb phones.

  • Samsung note 2 better with 3100 mAh

  • Imposible man :D This cpu is qualcomm Qualcomm = Andreno Maybe you should wait phone with Omap cpu. It will have PowerVR GPU Or maybe buy Iphone? :D

  • omg! i didn't expect this lg really impressed me ! this is crazy i was once an lg basher,i love my htc one v but wait is this real im getting in-love with lg? ahahaha... i m looking to have this phone. impressed battery! sexy phone. better camera. my godness...

  • well done lg. love that battery 2560mah. fantastic... other latest flagship phones xperia z and htc one has only 2330mah. /2300mah shame on sony and htc ... lg great job...

  • How i wish this phone will launch with powerVR gpu, Don't like mali...at all. @stefanos, the phone has removable battery.

  • Hope will came with 3 versions : 8GB, 16GB, 32GB onboard. Also maybe 1.5GHz dual core Krait CPU ?? And GPU no less then Mali-400MP, PowerVR SGX540, Adreno 225, higher is better. And at about 400$ or 350 Euro will be a hit. Watch also at camera quality - both images and movies - hope will deliver GREAT PICTURES, not fade ones ... Waiting for final release, don't disappoint me again LG !!

  • yes it does second to last paragraph on the design part of the hands on.

  • does anyone know what is the gpu of this phone

  • Does it have user replaceable battery?

  • LG F7 has 2,560mAh BATTERY. LG L7-II has 2,460mAh BATTERY. What a Great Job LG!

  • I only wish if there was a micro sd expansion available in LG Optimus G...

  • No word... I'm gettin one soon if the price is friendly. Wowspecs. I appreciate the battery a lot and the updated ram. Added to that it's far from gimmicky slimness at 9.6mm, I bet this phone will have lesser if any... heating issues than lg's prev. flagships such as 4x, 2x. Gsma pls post ur handson review of this phone fast. Please concentrate on the camera, screen vividness, fingerprints, volume and most importantly battery lifetyme. Thank you!!!

  • This device is going to be a hit if it is priced at $400.

  • what i like about this phone very much are the battery, dimensions and the 2gigs of ram. although its only a dual core that is more than enough. i wish this phone will have the same price as lg l9..

  • lg is the best!!

  • LG to make sure F7 will smash sales record like the S2 and S3, release it at a lower price, put a 16 or 32 GB internal memory. With only 8GB, it is inferior to a 2 yr old S2. So please listen, as internal memory is important, the expansion is mainly for storage.

  • Looks good, I'll grab one of these if the audio quality is good enough...

  • Should I get this or the Sony Xperia SP? please help.It would be greatly appreciated thank you :).

  • how much will be the expected price of this phone?

  • Maybe it just Dual Core, but it has 2 Gigs RAM right? Just enough 4 me.. More than enough 4 The Best Midranger!

  • Rightly said pal..:D

  • Wow... Jelly Bean! I assume that my O4X HD will get updated soon.. hopefuly

  • > In reply with Anonymous again.. Its NOT A SLOW CPU.. 1.5 GHz! Same as one X and 4X! But with a dual core.. Yet u need more speed? This is not a flagship phone mate...

  • Wow. LG actually made a nice phone, cpu is a bit slow but 2GB RAM is a nice touch. But considering it will not get any updates and probably has poor video recording with terrible sound, and other weaknesses, i think is a good idea to wait for Xperia SP, faster cpu also.

  • LG please provide more options for the internal memory, 16/32 GB. Thanks

  • LG is undeniably one of the best smartphone makers. Rather than saying stupid things about the company I advise you to study s3's own features and find out the crap features of your own idol company Samsung fan boy.

  • If pricing is done right, this could be a credible rival to the Lumia 920 and the Blackberry Z10, 'coz this has already blown the Galaxy S3 mini and the S2+ out of the water with those specs

  • As long as it has 2Gb of RAM it will have a looong live in the Android community. The dual-core @ 1.5 will be just OK for future multitasking and future less demanding 3D games. In my experience, RAM is the most important component of any computing device.

  • Thats cool,, like TV in my pocket,,......

  • The samsung galaxy s 3 better than u....and now sIV coming soon. Can lg beat sIV.. The next big thing is comming...any one can beat this phone..

  • Everything is nice.. And LG needed another dual core after L9(2X discontinued and nw L9 and Vu2 are only dual cores of lg).. 1.5 GHz is really fast..and its NOT SLOW! Lg had to improve their cams and speakers as my L7 is taking poor indoor shots.. It'll be cool if they use Kodak, Carl Zeiss lens or Beats, Dolby mobile like others .. :D

  • What's happened with the TV OUT there's a lots LG phones without TV OUT.

  • yeah better wait for lg f7. sony phoes are suck battery , suck ui. and suck camera. i had xperia t.

  • Wow. LG actually made a nice phone, cpu is a bit slow but 2GB RAM is a nice touch. But considering it will not get any updates and probably has poor video recording with terrible sound, and other weaknesses, i think is a good idea to wait for Xperia SP, faster cpu also.

  • not yet final it's unofficial

  • is this spec final? Really no flash?

  • dual hd video recorder

  • Nice specs. Only con is 8GB internal memory and in Andriod u can install app and game data in internal memory

  • I want to ask you something. Which is your favorite brand after Motorola? And have you heard something new about the Motorola X phone? Motorola will be at MWC this year?

  • Yes you are right even Sony must do the same.

  • THIS IS IT! my DREAM for a smartphone. simple yet elegant design. true hd ips display 4.7 screen 8gb internal supports microSD 8mp with Flash. LTE 4G. PERFECT ! NICE JOB LG! PLEASE........... COME TO THE PHILIPPINES!

  • This is the most practical phone today,thanks LG. Hope it's

  • I personally think that the F5's design is better but F7 is not bad at all it is a beautiful phone.. LG are getting better. Wid every phone. Good work LG keep it up.. If it's cost will be around 280-320$ than it will be an awsum phone and a must have..

  • It looks as the LG Optimums L9. They should use other design at this series.

  • this is better coz duel core will give nice battery and with 2 gb ram it will rock like hell

  • Can't wait! & First
