Cela fait deux jours maintenant que nous vous avons présenté en détails le nouveau smartphone très haut de gamme LG G2 suite à la conférence de la société qui en a fait la présentation.

Mais LG n’en reste pas là puisque celle-ci annonce également la venue d’un nouveau smartphone d’entrée de gamme, mais qui ne vous coûtera pas plus de 70€, une aubaine !

LG Optimus L1 II, le smartphone entrée de gamme à 69€ !

Ce nouveau modèle pourrait alors faire concurrence aux smartphones « low-cost » de chez Samsung ou encore HTC, et ça ne peut être qu’une bonne chose pour nous.

LG qui est maintenant le troisième plus grand constructeur de smartphone derrière Samsung et Apple nous présente le nouveau LG Optimus L1 II qui proposera des caractéristiques modestes que voici :

Via ce téléphone, LG joue la carte du « moins performant mais moins cher » tandis que ce dernier sera disponible en noir ou en blanc, pour la modique somme de 69€, au Royaume Uni, en Russie et au Vietnam pour commencer.

Pas d’informations au sujet d’une sortie pour le vieux continent, mais avec l’achat par internet, dans tous les cas, nous pouvons espérer profiter de cet entrée de gamme prochainement.

Pour un usage standard ou un membre de votre famille qui n’aurait pas de gros besoins, trouvez-vous ce téléphone abordable à en juger par ses capacités et son prix ?

LG no longer wants the Optimus brand for its high end use

By Gabriel Manceau 11 June 2013

The LG Optimus brand could no longer be used for the high-end devices of the manufacturer, a twist in its communication on the level of the name wants to take its terminals. An important decision affecting all communication around the South Korean manufacturer telephony branch.

LG was always considered "the other Korean brand" and often finds himself in the shadow of Samsung, the ubiquitous, is in his own country as well as at the global level, including through its Galaxy line. The comparison with the LG Optimus can also be made if Samsung has no trouble, selling its Galaxy line products from beginner to the most expensive Smartphone, which is the S4 Galaxy.

LG Optimus G Pro

Is the essence regardless the quality of the goods, by his name? We take for example the LG Optimus G, which is a very good phone, will his successor sell better or worse, if it is not 'Optimus' stamped? If the success of the previous models has impact on the popularity of a Terminal, but it is not the essence. It is found with the HTC one, the successor of the HTC x, which could lead to confusion, the name was also subject to criticism.

However, the quality of the HTC phone has succeeded, get all the votes, and his name was passed on to second place. There are always counterexamples and it is hard to imagine Apple change, is that the name of his iPhone or Samsung not from Galaxy S5... LG will therefore keep to find their mark for entry and mid-tier and a new name for its high range terminals. Do you have an idea to the next line of products the manufacturers? The name of a product determine its success?

By Jean-Louis Petrod 31 May 2013

Since March, we knew that the Korean LG works is located on a successor for its latest high-end Smartphone, the LG Optimus G.-successor-start for the third quarter of the year. By early may, however, it had no idea design, which would carry this new device to a first picture of the LG Optimus G2 on the canvas, then give us a first idea surface. But leaks are numerous and not always very reliable, had to take this information with a pair of tweezers. Finally until today a new photo of the device are displayed only.

If we can already assume the synthesis of the previous rumours, that LG set the bar very high with this new device should ship 800 Snapdragon processor and proposals for a full HD resolution. He would relinquish consisting of, while the back of the device would offer a touch area for navigation also a hull made of Unbreakable plastic.

The Smartphone has been raised the possibility of a decline in the border between the edges of the screen. If this new picture of the LG Optimus G2 good to see it jumps not eyes, but it could be as a source suggested that a prototype with a somewhat different design with the final version of the device.

In all cases, the characteristic of this new recording of the unit is casting feature on the first photo of the LG Optimus G2 published early in the month and on which we could then the lack of physical buttons on the front.

Le LG Optimus G Pro arrivera en France courant juillet !

Par Jean-Louis Pétrod le 30 mai 2013

Après un lancement en grandes pompes, à New York, au début du mois, l’éventuel lancement du LG Optimus G Pro en France restait en suspens dans l’attente d’une annonce officielle qui a fini par arriver. Une annonce émanant non pas le LG mais de Qualcomm et postée dans la nuit sur le Twitter français du célèbre constructeur de composants. Malheureusement, pour l’heure on ne sait pas encore quelle version de l’appareil sera proposée dans nos contrées, celui-ci se déclinant à la fois en version 5 pouces et en version 5,5 pouces. On espère donc qu’il s’agira de la seconde mais dans tous les cas, une chose est sûre, le Galaxy Note 3 a du souci à se faire.

Tout comme le Galaxy S4, le LG Optimus G Pro attendu en France se dotera d’un processeur Qualcomm Snardragon 600. Un processeur quad core cadencé à 1,7 Ghz. On retrouvera également un GPU Adreno 320, le tout épaulé par 2 Go de Ram. Autant dire que la puissance sera au rendez-vous.

Résolument haut de gamme, ce dernier phablet de LG propose un écran Full HD de 5,5 pouces affichant une densité de pixels de l’ordre de 441 ppi, un appareil photo 13 Megapixels et une caméra frontale 2,1 Megapixels. Il supporte les réseaux 4G LTE et propose une capacité de stockage initial de l’ordre de 32 Go, extensible via l’ajout d’une carte microSD.  Enfin, côté autonomie, l’appareil embarque fièrement une batterie de 3140 mAh, au niveau de sa puissance, le tout contenu dans des dimensions de 150.2×76.1×9.4mm et un poids de 172 grammes.

Le LG Optimus G Pro arrive en France en juillet.

Côté logiciel, on retrouve des innovations assez similaires à celles proposées par le dernier smartphone haut de gamme de Samsung et basées sur l’Eye-tracking, à commencer par Dual Camera et permet de mettre en pause l’enregistrement ou la lecture d’une vidéo en détournant simplement le regard.

Je sens que les deux prochains mois vont sembler interminables, en attendant la sortie en France du LG Optimus G Pro.

LG Optimus G2: the first pictures of the leakees G2

Benjamin André 5 may 2013

Images like the LG Optimus G2 might look is appearing on the Internet apparently without the consent of LG.

Evleaks would be noticed again! In fact, the Ninja of the Smartphone has put online prior to recent pictures what the LG Optimus G2 or a different model of the manufacturer LG, we have no information at the moment might look like. Arrival point called, shortly after the announcement, which could work on a new joint project, a nexus 5 so Google and LG or a LG Optimus G2.

Idem, the picture could be 4.7 inches, a speaker in the upper part, whose design is completely new for the sensor on the left side that exist on any smartphone from LG at this place a screen. Seem, this last suggestion is unlikely, but that the mechanical buttons at the bottom of the screen were replaced by the touch of two buttons on each side of the logo of LG, at least on the logo is also a touch down.

One of the images possible LG Optimus G2

Although nexus 5 certainly is more, LG Optimus G2, which should come this fall, it is more likely that this picture of the latter is, because there is the logo only on LG phones, not the Smartphone from the partnership with Google. Rounded corners are a little reminiscent Samsung Galaxy... Little information from LG about the next models still clueless about the nature of this image.

It is that fact that these pictures of the LG Optimus G2 unlock the machine of communication and marketing (if these are not already active in the shadow of these images) and it is hoped could soon new information to be filtered.

Sold at a price of €349, without subscription, will suffice as the first position mid with 4 G Smartphone and offers therefore an interesting configuration of hardware at a very attractive price.

LG Optimus L5 comes therefore in France first, but it is also largely expected, the European market as well as in South America, Asia and the Commonwealth States independent. A selection of countries, which proposes, in contrast to the LG Optimus G Pro of latest high-end smartphone from the Korean expected on the U.S. market for start wrong, it offers especially for countries that start in the 4 G. He will thus gain a huge competitive advantage: its price since due to that the 4 G deviant accessible without going through the high range box.

LG Optimus G Pro: Un lancement en grandes pompes à New York

Lancement progressif pour le LG Optimus G Pro. Si Samsung mise tout sur son Galaxy S4 et HTC espère remonter la pente avec HTC One, LG continue de mettre en avant son LG Optimus G Pro. Jusqu’alors seulement réservé aux marchés coréens et japonais, le smarphone sera bientôt disponible aux Etats Unis. Comme vient de le confirmer le coréen, le « Special Event » annoncé la semaine dernière et qui se déroulera le 1er mai prochain à New York sera, en effet, dédié au lancement américain du smartphone 5,5 pouces. Au programme concert et festivités en tout genre pour cet étonnant smartphone dont on attend plus qu’une chose depuis son annonce lors du MWC 2013 : l’annonce de son lancement en France.

Si le fait que, jusqu’à présent, le LG Optimus Pro semblait réservé aux marchés asiatiques, l’annonce de ce lancement américain laisse espérer que le smartphone sera également proposé en Europe. Le plus logique, stratégiquement parlant, aurait bien entendu été de proposer un lancement simultané sur tous les marchés mais il semblerait que LG espère avant tout contrer le Galaxy S4 sur le marché américain.

Bien entendu, LG aurait eu, tout à gagner, en synchronisant le lancement du LG Optimus G Pro sur les deux continents et aurait pu ainsi propulser les ventes de son dernier smartphone haut de gamme, dés le départ mais il semblerait que ce ne soit pas là son ambition première.

Un Special Event pour le lancement du LG Optimus G pro aux USA.

En attendant et en dépit de ce planning pas si ambitieux qu’il aurait pu l’être, il faut bien avouer que LG a su doter son LG Optimus Pro de tout les atouts nécessaires pour le mettre au niveau d’un Galaxy S4 ou d’un HTC One. A commencer par son processeur Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 ou son écran Full HD mais également par ses fonctionnalités logicielles qui, bien que copiées/collées sur ce que propose Samsung avec le Galaxy S4 restent efficaces.

AT&T LG Optimus G getting an Easter update

A quick heads up for you owners of the AT&T LG Optimus G -- there's a software update rolling out today. As reported in our Optimus G Fourms, you'll still be on Android 4.0.4 (build IMM76L), and you'll now have software version E97011c. Other than that, we can't quite tell you what's changed. 

So the wait continues for some Jelly Bean love for the AT&T Optimus G, but some update is better than no update. 

We've got the updated about screen after the break should you deem it worth a gander.

Thanks, Tim!

Jelly Bean update rolling out for European LG Optimus L9

The LG Optimus L9 was introduced to European markets in the second half of last year as the then newest member of the Optimus L-Series of devices. We first went hands with the LG back at IFA 2012 in Berlin, we found a surprisingly nice mid-range device. Since launch, the L9 has been running Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, but now it seems that European owners are getting a Jelly Bean flavored treat on their devices. 

According to reports, the update to Android 4.1 is rolling out in the Baltics region, Germany, Spain, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania and for the European Open devices. It can be downloaded via the LG Update Tool as well as OTA, but it's a pretty weighty one coming in at 575MB. What's more is the relative speed at which this update has appeared. LG traditionally isn't too good with software updates, but the L9 has received Jelly Bean now within six months of the device's launch. Still not amazingly fast, but given LG's record it's still pretty impressive.
