Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2012 saw the launch of the Optimus L series by LG , with mid range specs in a slim design. This year, the same event will witness the update to the same Optimus L series , with an upgraded display, battery life, camera quality and dual SIM card option.
LG is promoting the L711 right now , powered by Android 4.1 , a 4.3 WVGA IPS display and a 2460 mAh battery. No upgrade on the processor though, as it contains the same 1 Ghz dual core processor, and the same 4 GB internal memory expandable through MicroSD . The rear camera has been upgraded to 8 megapixels.LG is yet to unveil the other 2 models of the new L Series - L311 and L511, and not much is know about the specs, apart from the fact that L311 has a 3.2 inch QVGA IPS display and a 1540 mAh battery , while the L511 has a 4.0 inch WVGA IPS display, and a 1700 mAh battery.
Apart from hardware , a few apps have been added to the series by LG as well, including the QuickMemo, Quick button, Safety Care. L711 has additioal Qslide ( allowing 2 apps to run side by side on the same screen (competing with multi screen window of Galaxy Note, Note 2 et all) and Quick Translator ( which translates text scanned from the camera).
Selling around 10 million Optimus L devices last year, LG is hoping to gain the same popularity for these updated ones as well, though pricing , and the new competition from Phablets et all is gonna make things not so easy for them.
