No, it's not just pretty girls holding phones, although that's usually does it for us - LG has decided to change its whole design philosophy when making handsets, starting with the new L3, L5 and L7 ones. It just sent us a press release to explain the whole "L" thing it has been teasing us with.

Called the L-Style, the new design paradigm "is comprised of five aesthetic elements: Modern Square Style for a comfortable grip, Floating Mass Technology for a slimmer look, Seamless Layout for a more intuitive arrangement of keys, Harmonized Design Contrast utilizing metallic accents and Sensuous Slim Shape that naturally draws one’s attention", the company tells us in a presser.

We can only say kudos that manufacturers are finally starting to pay attention to design - after all, once you hit quad-core, HD screens and high-res cameras, it's design, battery life and UI to differentiate you further.  Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Mobile Communications Company seems to agree:
Design is consistently the top or second most important factor for customers when choosing a mobile phone. With smartphones, we sometimes took a more functional approach to design but with L-Style we’re going back to our roots as a company focused on how our products fit into the lifestyle of our customers.
LG has been traditionally strong in the design department with series like the Black Label, Chocolate and Shine, so it is now capitalizing on its experience with the L-Style line. Hopefully other manufacturers (cough, Samsung, cough) will follow suit with their 2012 lineup. The new L-Style design philosophy will be showcased at the MWC expo in a few days and we'll be there to relay our first impressions to you. 

What do you think, do Android manufacturers need more design-focused initiatives like this?

Hey, I read all this buzz about the great new design, but I see just the same boring black rectangular bricks...

Heh. I thought the same thing at the last iPhone launch! But I fail to understand how these new LG phones can be met with such distain while this is a brand new design, while Apple released a 16 month old design and it was welcomed with open arms...

Lmao. Good one.

I always like LG design. I still think my g2x is as pretty as the day I bought it.

g2x was a good device and was comfy to hold but sadly in the uk it came with the totally sluggish and ugly lg ui where as the us variant had virtually stock.

Great to see one of the majors focusing on design, but I'm not a fan of the sharp corners. With the phone in the hand, the corner will tend to dig into the base of the thumb. Not at all comfortable to hold for any length of time. The lower corners need to be more rounded.

We will see if others have the same issues about the design, and then if LG will listen. Other than that, time for you to start developing calluses on your delicate ladylike hands. I like the design, and dont see an issue with the corners..
