Customer Review

The people should therefore be the mobile phone LG P760. So far, I have always been iPhone users (3GS, 4S, 5), so I am doing inherently difficult with a rating of Androidsmartphones because the iPhone up everything belongs together, Hardware + Software. In Androidsmartphones (easy modfizierte EVLT.) It's more the case that almost all the same use Software (Android) and the hardware is different, so I can evaluate you or primarily only the hardware, if you want to work out what so a smartphone from other Android smartphones differ.
I have simply times singled out a few essential aspects and written to a few comments, I hope it helps interested on.

Generally it can be but in advance schonmal say that the LG P760 for the average Joe User wants to just have a good, reasonably priced smartphone with Internet and phone is a good solid choice, but with other devices in this price range must be measured.
If you want to save the long comments on the individual aspects, simply scrolls before the Conclusion)

* Design & Processing
Just nine millimeters thick, the housing. The front is dominated by the huge display, the back also holds good. Taking the lid once a closer look and makes it off, notice that it is very flexible and not really quality. There is a classic home button, which is, however, first nciht perceived as such, but rather seems like a design element. In weight it is lightweight and weighs almost as much as the iPhone 5, although the LG is much greater. Watched the total with the result that although it makes in the pocket by its weight less noticeable, but takes away much more space and thus makes more noticeable again.
From the front, the smartphone can look very sophisticated and classy, ​​you turn it around this impression evaporates very quickly

* Display
4.7 inches is the screen size, offers a resolution of 960x540 pixels and in this price range relatively rare IPS technology. Through this technique, the display offers a high angle. The writing is sharp and easy to read, color make a natural impression, as far as I can tell when the color-blind;) The display is well in many ways, the pride of the P760. For me as 2m people, it is very easy to operate and you get used to just surfing very quickly to the larger area, although it will be for many normal sized people already be too large to make it comfortable to use one-handed. The pixel density is about 234 ppi, which is a rather average value. The brightness is generally orderly. In direct sunlight the display is slightly worse to realize this is but in many smartphones that. All in all, a very good display, and also the touch screen works very reliable, good and precise.
Will diminish this very positive impression, however, by the following: If you press too hard to make ugly streaks which disappear again when you reduce the pressure. Something I know of no other display and something should have that time cost for a device 300 actually does not happen.

* Memory
Of the internal 4GB memory can only 2GB good use, the remainder is needed by the system. In theory, too bad, because you can not expand the memory via SD card. However, any programs from the card can perform, so you should always outsource photos and videos on the card, otherwise the place will quickly narrow. Here is twice as large memory with a bit more free space would have been desirable. Especially if you have a lot of music on the phone or want to play more games, the phone comes here very quickly reaches its limits. The message "Not enough memory" will be read very often. What LG has thought here is my imagination escapes.

* Camera (-)
The camera has 5 mega pixels which is sufficient just for snapshots under good lighting conditions. For many, the smartphone has almost become a substitute for normal low-cost compact camera, the LG P760 absolutely here falls through. After all, it only requires nearly a second until it is ready for use, and also the auto focus reacts very quickly. Most of the photos I've taken with the camera are not to use, however.
But is definitely interesting feature that you can shoot the camera language. Is it in the appropriate mode and says "Cheese" makes the camera a photo. This is really unique and a very nice little feature.

Better I really liked the video mode. The recorded videos here have a good quality, only on fast pans, there is little stuttering. If anything, I'd rather take the mobile phone videos, instead of making photos. The audio quality of the video is actually surprisingly good.
Also, a front camera for video calling is available, of which one however should not expect miracles.

* Performance
1GHz processor and 1GB of RAM. That's not really a lot, and now rather lower midfield, but enough for all normal applications from loosely and most games should thus be playable. As described below, the handling of menus runs very nice and smooth and even with video playback, there is no stuttering. This can be seen even when you turn the hands, after about 13 seconds, the device is ready for use, a true top value. Again, I would say again that the power is probably perfectly adequate for every normal user.

* Sound quality
- Language The voice quality is good. Even in more moderate o2 network reception was always good and the language always clear and easy to understand. Only one only weakly perceptible background noise can be determined from time to time, but that does not really bother the phone.
The speakerphone is not really useful, here the quality is to be considered rather than bad

- Music sounds absolutely grottig through the speakers. No one will want to do that voluntarily. If you connect a headset to is all in the context and you can enjoy music undisturbed.

* Software
On the P760 runs Android 4.0.4 factory which has been modified by LG with its Optimus 3 surface. You can on the lockscreen diverse make adjustments (calendar, clock, various Unlockfunktionen).
The homescreen is multi-page, here you can apps and widget at will add. Upstairs there is a pull down status bar, indicating the classics such as battery level, time, network connection, etc. Taking it down, you get into different menus. Pressing the Home button you longer to get to the Task Manager.
Scrolling through different menus running total of very liquid, however, is still not as smooth as silk, as we have come to appreciate it as iOS users. But generally comes down very smoothly and without large trailer, so it already fun to use this phone.

* Battery
The battery is amazing. Must, even if allowed to lie fallow lying around the device for weeks in the corner and then takes again in the hands to handle it you do not first hours charge, no, to my surprise, the battery was still well stocked. My Android Sony Tablet was after three days of unused rumliegenlassens something empty, that has really very, very pleasantly surprised at P760 me. In standby mode the battery lasts forever so really for Smartphone conditions.
However, in normal operation, it knows how to convince. An hour HD movie watching or gaming consumes just over 10% battery. Compared to my iPhone knows absolutely convincing. The latter keeps in constant use no day with me by without at the outlet, the LG P760, however already. Absolute plus point!

* Connections
NFC, Bluetooth, WiFi, DLNA, Wi-Fi tethering, everything on board and everything works fine. It's also nice that even with permanently switched NFC the battery is not in a short time yet. Also DLNA works absolutely excellent if the appropriate devices support it. Here the P760 makes a lot of lost ground.

CONCLUSION
=====
The LG P760 Optimus L9 is a great smartphone mid-priced. Know to convince the large display, the voice quality, connectivity, interface and above all, the battery, the stings of my previous smartphone experience absolutely out. The camera is unfortunately rather moderate and truly incomprehensible are the de facto just 2GB memory available for apps. Given the memory prices can hardly be the reason for the pricing, there must LG tell me, what have been thinking since.
Who can live with that found with the LG P760 against a good, solid smartphone that should absolutely be sufficient for most normal users.
How important a individual aspects must always judge for yourself, so my star rating certainly does not apply to everyone. I hope through my detailed discussion of individual points that everyone can weigh themselves. Being relatively extensively, I would have at any point can still write more clearly, but I is often rumored that my reviews are too long, so I have taken me a little shorter in parts.
When going out of five stars as a possible maximum score I have to deduct for the extremly small memory a star. Since replacing for me smartphones in most cases normal compact cameras now also the camera is very important to me. With this I am also unhappy, so I prefer it again from a star, which brings us good three stars in my view. Substituting all again in relation to the price you have to but again a star adding, for good value for default I find the LG really great!
