We loved LG’s Optimus L5 II, which crammed an impressive range of features into a slender frame for just £125. Sadly the Optimus L3 II has stripped back on features and contends with a tiny low-res screen, while performance isn’t quite up to scratch....

The LG E430 Optimus L3 II As our tests make clear, the cheap 99 euro Optimus 430 L3 II from the Korean manufacturer LG excels more than anything at "long-distance running." With a battery run time of over 36 hours in the reading test , and still more...

We like the fact that the LG Optimus L3 is small and pocketable and comes with an affordable price tag. It also has good battery life and a neat voice activated camera shutter feature. However, the tiny, low-resolution screen makes web browsing a bit of a chore, it's camera isn't great and call quality could be better too.
