LG Optimus L5 II

We were at LG's Optimus Series 2 launch at the MOA atrium where they also had a one hour sale, slashing Php2k off on the newly announced phones. The build of the LG Optimus L7 II was slightly less premium than the others though, or maybe it's just because of the size or the color choice. For a slightly higher price of Php10,590, you can get the dual-SIM variant, and that is pretty much the ceiling for the price of the affordable Optimus L Series II from LG. smartphones -- the LG Optimus One and the LG Optimus Chic. The Optimus One and Optimus Chic might not be available locally until December or later and though LG has not indicated the suggested retail price for these smarphones, it could be in the same price range as the first LG Optimus GT540 (which is under ~Php13k). My latest handset purchase is the LG Optimus 2X, dubbed as the world's first dual-core Android smartphone which made it to the Guinness Book of World Records. Check out our full review of the Optimus 2X after the jump and see if it lives up to expectations and hype. The Optimus 2X is the 2nd handset we've reviewed that sports a dual-core processor so we've had a good idea on what to expect.
