LG Optimus L9 Reviews

    LG Optimus L9 Review at Engadget

    The Optimus L9 isn't totally without merit. We appreciate its boxy yet dapper design and its sharp, colorful display. And while the performance didn't blow us away, it's more than good enough for everyday tasks like browsing the web, checking email and playing the occasional game. We also enjoyed the addition of T-Mobile's WiFi calling feature. Yet, its mediocre camera reminds us of its mid-level status, the carrier's bloatware is a disappointment and LG's UI 3.0, though inoffensive, belongs in the past. Its short battery life is also a practical issue that buyers should be aware of before signing any contracts. Read more...

    The LG Optimus L9 isn't the biggest, baddest smartphone out there, but it plays an important role in T-Mobile's lineup. Sure, the Galaxy S III or the Galaxy Note II blow this phone out of the water—with bigger, higher-resolution displays, more powerful processors, and faster HSPA+ 42 data speed—but they also cost more than three times the price. For less than $100, the LG Optimus L9 gets you a great mix of features and performance. T-Mobile offers cheaper phones, like the myTouch series or the Samsung Exhibit II 4G $0.00 at Best Buy, but none of them can match the L9 on performance or quality. It still pays to check out what's on sale, but either way, the Optimus L9 is a bargain. Read more...

    For $79.99, the LG Optimus L9 delivers solid performance, a bright 4.5-inch screen and long battery life. You also get some of the software innovations inside the pricier Optimus G, such as QuickMemo. We prefer this smartphone to the Galaxy Blaze 4G because you get a bigger screen in design that's lighter and thinner. While the camera doesn't wow, those looking for a bargain Android phone will really like what the L9 has to offer. Read more...

    Considering T-Mobile's offering of midrange 4G handsets, I'd recommend the LG Optimus L9. Its $80 sticker price (after a mail-in rebate and two-year service agreement) is reasonable, especially since T-Mobile's less expensive handsets run on Android 2.3 and start out only $30 cheaper. Plus, the phones that do offer native ICS, like the $150 Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G and HTC One S, take a steep rise in price. Read more...

    What can I say? For a budget handset, the LG Optimus L9 impresses. In no way is the phone the best, but its sleek design, nice screen, and the fact that it runs so smooth with have you thinking otherwise. Be sure that you consider the options before you pick one up, however, because while the Optimus L9 is good enough to be worthy of a recommendation here in 2012, its aging hardware means that probably won’t be the case when you enter the final part of your two-year contract in 2014.
