Superb big smartphone for its low Price point!

thephonedude has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

This is my second android phone.., first being the cute HTC Wildfire S.

The LG Optimus L5.. is actually not bad at all! The phone is fast, responsive, and has a good quadrant benchmark score of 1470, good for a 800mhz single core ARM/Qualcomm processor. Screen-wise.. is a big 4 inch screen that dominates 95% of the front of the phone. The downside is that.. the Screen resolution is 320x480, a little to small for a 4 incher, and with its weak viewing angles and puny pixel density of 144ppi, its not a good screen...
But hey! It comes out-of-the-box with Android 4.0.3 ICS, and I am hopping for a Jelly bean update :P Also, LG UI 3.0 is great- Little modifications to the stock holo ICS UI... and it still have that holo feel to it. Playing games are a joy with very minimal lags and choppiness- Running temple run on it is mostly smooth.
The 5MP Camera also does a great job with details and brightness.
I seriously recommend you this phone if you don't want to spend loads of money on smartphones. GET THIS! :) You will never regret it.

Build quality 9/10 Bulid quality is superb! Feels very sturdy and comfy in the hand.

Reception 7/10 Reception is good but not too great.

Call quality 6/10 Call quality is not bad.. but sometimes feel a little hollow.

Internet 10/10 FAST FAST FAST! FAST FOR A 800MHZ SINGLE CORE PHONE!

Multimedia 7/10 The speaker are not too loud but not too soft.. still average.

Camera 8/10 Great Camera. Great saturation in colors and brightness. Loads of picture editing options are added in too! Downside is the slow shutter lag, which is around 2 to 3 seconds....

UI speed 10/10 One word- SPEEDY! Not even slowing it down when multitasking.

Everyday usage 8/10 Its good for everyday usage. But not the SCREEN :(

Text input 9/10 Good text inputing thanks to big screen and big keyboard.

Display 4/10 Well not too good.. due to bad pixel density and humble screen resolution. Viewing angles are also bad.

Battery 9/10 Lasts long, up to 3-5 days with minimal usage.

Pros

• Big Screen
• Fast snappy web browsing
• Speedy User interface
• Good benchmark for 800MHZ Single core phone
• Playing games is a joy
• Good battery life
• NFC(Some countries)
• ICS Out of the box

Cons

• Screen is not too great and not the worst.
• Weak viewing angles
• Unable to store apps to SD unlike any Gingerbread phones.
• No NFC (For some countries)

Edgy killer

macias has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

This is my first Android phone and to my surprise my best pick (the second one was Galaxy Ace 2). Thanks to just basic but usable resolution the battery can hold long -- no problem with going on a bike trip for a day with GPS turned on all the time. At the end I have solid 40%.

I am happy this phone has almost every feature desired (maybe except for light sensor), those features are not top-notch but they are usable and considering low price (in Poland, at the time of writing around 600 PLN) this phone is a killer. I higly recommend it for women, in case of men make sure it will fit into your pocket -- 4" requires some space. Because of that for myself I decided to buy Galaxy Ace 2 -- however Ace 2 fails comparison in every possible aspect except for rounded corners and smaller size.

It is not a perfect phone though -- the weakest point for me is always enabled volume buttons and Android itself (it has so many holes...).
