LG has launched the Optimus L7, L5 and L3 Android smartphones at MWC 2012. Watch our First Look video review of the devices.

LG Optimus L7, L5 and L3 First Look video review

According to LG, the new smartphones follow LG’s new ‘design identity’ and will be called the Optimus L3, Optimus L5 and Optimus L7.

The L7 and L5 run the Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, although the L3 is stuck with the previous version Gingerbread.

LG claim that all three devices contain five ‘aesthetic elements’ - Modern Square Style, Floating Mass Technology, Seamless Layout, Harmonized Design Contrast and Sensuous Slim Shape.

We’re not all that sure about what any of these elements mean, and to be honest we weren’t especially blown away with the designs, although they seem capable phones.

Here are the highlights of each handset.

Optimus L7

The L7 is the biggest of the three with a 4.3-inch touchscreen. It’s a handset that looks very similar to the LG Prada 3.0 – although it’s missing the fancy brand name.

Optimus L5

A slightly smaller 4-inch screen can be found on the L5 and LG has included a leather back to try and promote a premium look and feel to the device.

Optimus L3

The smallest of the three is the L3 – sporting a 3.2-inch display – although like the other devices we are still in the dark over specs for the processor and cameras.
