LG Announces The Optimus F5 And Optimus F7
LG has announced the launch of two new F series smartphones, the Optimus F5 and Optimus F7 ahead of Mobile World Congress at the weekend proving the show is becoming less and less significant for launches by the day.
LG is certainly taking a different route this year and leaving no element of surprise for Mobile World Congress next week. We already know of the second generation of the L-Series with the Optimus L3II, Optimus L5II and Optimus L7II.
As is usually the case, the official announcement of these devices didn’t follow far behind leaked renders, which seem to have been spot on.
Both run OS 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and have dual-core processors. The F7 is the bigger beast, while the F5 has respectable specs. Here are the specs for each:
