Solid performance for beginners with no high budget ...

The LG L5 is indeed a nice entry-level model for smartphone beginners and people who do not necessarily equal to invest several hundred euros in a smart phone. My wife had previously the Nokia C3 because she absolutely insisted on a keyboard. Came out what I (yes I know my wife :-)) thought in advance. She has the part hardly used, never charged and played around most of the time with my former Samsung S3. You have to know that my wife actually the mobile phone as a device to be used only rarely. The interest just is not there so. Just to make calls occasionally, surf a bit and to be accessible can (when the charged and :-) is) used it from time to time. Among other things, is why they should finally change to my insistence on a smartphone and but it then be only a low-priced entry-level model. I was just not sure whether an expensive smartphone but not the same as the Schick Hall C3 had flourished :-)

What you get for your money than now actually exactly:

- A display which is indeed large enough and easy to read, with which you can also play and surf without a eyes turn out the same, but a great pleasure and Augenschmeichler it is not. You simply noted the low resolution and graphics power but it does the job. Outside on the road there are also small cars, middle class and luxury vehicles and usually drives a Favon each from A to B :-)!
- The Sound. The boxing ring which is to be expected rather high-pitched and tinny. Does something in your ears hurt, but quite a bit worse than that of the Sony Xperia Z that I have been testing recently, these are not. Calls can thus easily and the expectations were met throughout.
- The handling is also good. The phone is comfortable to hold and the display also responds well to inputs. What more could you at the price?
- The Power and battery performance is also satisfactory. The popular apps run fine (Angry Birds, email, Facebook, etc.) and the battery lasts a long time through.

In principle, it may be the thing most other smart phones also can and which is essential for this. On one or two luxury such as a front camera, an outstanding display, etc. and immediately you have to do without though, but the usual stuff like emails retrieval, social networks, little gaming in between is possible. Even surfing through the browser comes thanks to the adequate großens displays also for shorter visits for the purpose of obtaining information in order. Ledegem of the camera, I was a little disappointed. An LED with flash, the phone has even kindly what the flashlight app makes possible the one for me personally one of the sinnvolsten However, the images that the camera takes pretty bad no matter what the lighting conditions they shoot. Here you can tell that the camera is being considered for a maximum of a snapshot. Here I would have expected a bit more. Since I can with my old Sony W880i shoot a lot better.

My Conclusion. A great introductory model example for Gelgenheits Smartphoner or for your child when it needs to have the absolutely such a thing. Teenage that's almost mandatory to have such a thing (brave new world :-). Fortunately, my goes to kindergarten :-). In any case, the price is really ok. Who wants to spend a little more and can but should then perhaps select the L7 because it's still a tad larger and the display of the L5 during longer sessions before something goes to the eyes due to the quality. All in one I forgive earned 3 stars for a good and cheap Prodkut from LG! If it were not for the L7 for small extra cost from just under 30 it would perhaps become even 4 stars. Reason for this is again the display that's elemntar important for a smartphone. As I said you can live with it, but if there's a let's say twice as good quality for little extra cost would be so stupid not to strike here. For those who wonder why now I bought the L5 (legitimate question :-)) ..damals a year ago the figure was just under 60 euro price difference.

PS: Oh ..meine decision for a low-priced model was the right one. My wife uses the cell phone currently wiedermal only rarely and often it is not even charged. If it then times has this or has them is I guess happy with it. At least she claims the :-)
