While it might seem like LG is losing a little traction on the mobile front, it hasn't stopped the company from launching new devices. The latest to hit India is the Optimus L9 smartphone and this is the P765 variant. It's a neat looking device, but...

The LG Optimus L9 has a large 4.7in, qHD display and an attractive and functional design. It's only marred by a slightly sluggish user experience and a below average camera. At $399, the Optimus L9 represents reasonable value for money....

LG hasn’t been terribly active in the high-end smartphone market this year, but it has been cooking up a storm with its budget brigade of Optimus handsets, badged under the “L” series. Now it’s the end of the year, and LG has one last L-series it...

The reasonable $80 price tag, dual-core processor, and Android 4.0, make the LG Optimus L9 a reliable midlevel handset for T-Mobile...

LG only recently launched its aggressively priced L-Style range of Android smartphones in Australia but the company has already added a flagship device to that category. The LG Optimus L9 offers a huge 4.7in IPS screen, a dual-core processor and a...

So, it turns out there's quite a lot to like about the LG Optimus L9. Its key selling point is the big screen, which is rather hard to come by in this price range. Retina levels of pixel density were out of the question - should we say, budget - but...
