LG Electronics will start selling the smartphone Optimus L5 (E610), which is the intermediate solution between the budget Optimus L3 and relatively expensive Optimus L7. Unlike older models found in the L5 display with a diagonal smaller, lower resolution, a simple TFT-matrix and weaker processor.
In the price range up to 9,000 rubles, the device boasts a fresh OS Android 4.0.3. However, with the release version of the Jelly Bean Ice Cream Sandwich starts to slowly lose relevance, as Android 4.1 brings "OSes" from Google to a new level. The rest of the smartphone options rather boring: 512 MB RAM, 5 megapixel camera with video recording 0.3 megapixel and 4 GB of Flash-memory.
On the one hand, it turns out it is an attractive gadget, with another - sorrowful little things that could be eliminated, and then, in my opinion, LG Optimus L5 would be a hit. What kind of little things in question, you will learn from this review.

The design, size, controls
Despite the fact that the LG Optimus L7 and L5 looks very similar to each other, yet managed to find the differences in design. First, L5 all corners are sharp, while a slightly rounded bottom L7. Second, P705 slightly thinner (8.7 mm vs. 9.5 for E610). Third, the back cover older model almost completely closes the left and right edges, in addition, it has a different texture: in the longitudinal plane L7, and L5 in the form of rhombs. Effectively looks at the E610, but it felt better in my hand back of the smartphone Optimus L7. In LG L3 rear socket slightly more relief than in the LG L5.As well as the entire line L-style, the device is made entirely of plastic. On sale until the black version is available, will soon be sold and white. And in the first and second cases the front and back panels are painted in appropriate colors. In my opinion, LG Optimus L5 in the "light" looks impressive and elegant. At least, it is less visible traces of fingerprints.Assembled unit is very good, nothing to find fault: there is no vertical or horizontal backlash, the cover does not bend to the battery when not squeezing crunches and creaks.Dimensions of the following LG E610 - 118.3x66.5x9.5 mm, weight - 125 grams; LG E400 - 102.6x61.6x11.9 mm, weight - 110 grams; LG P705 - 125.5x67x8.7 mm, weight - 122 grams; Prada by LG 3.0 - 127.5x69x8.5 mm, weight - 138 grams. Incidentally, an interesting novelty, used a technique called «Floating Mass Technology» - is an optical effect of the perception of a lesser thickness than it actually is. Due to the small size and weight of the LG L5 is excellent in hand, they are a little easier to manage than the LG L7 through the use of a smaller display size. Phone fits in the pockets of jeans or trousers, but be prepared for the fact that the angular form of L5, probably will be felt when you bend over or sit down. It is best to wear a jacket or top shirt pocket.Display marks, prints quickly cover the surface, but erased relatively easily and quickly. The display is not protected by glass, Gorilla Glass, as it was implemented in Optimus P705.The front panel is a proximity sensor. Responds quickly and accurately. Light sensor in the device does not. Nearby earpiece. Its volume is slightly above average (in L7 was loud), the interlocutor clearly audible, the sound pleasant, but the bass is slightly smaller than in the dynamics of the LG Optimus P705.
Under the screen is recessed into the casing mechanical button "Home". Its size 14h5 mm, rectangular shape with smooth edges. The course of the minimum, pressing hard. To the left of "Home" - touch "Back" and the right - the "Menu". Since I have long enjoyed the L7, like the button layout I already did not cause any problems.At the bottom end - microUSB and a microphone on the top - the standard 3.5 mm jack for headphones and on / off button (almost drowned in the body). On the right there are no elements, and the left - the key-volume control: thin and long, gently rising above the body, and find it almost impossible to finger.Speakerphone is located on the back side, the same camera and flash unit. To remove the back cover, you must hook the tab at the top. Memory card slot can be found on the left (supported by "hot" replacement), a slot for a SIM-card - on the battery (but removed it would still have).
Display
Smartphone LG Optimus L5 equipped with a relatively large display - 4 inches (physical size - 84h56) for the price range of smartphones to 9000 rubles. However, the resolution left at the level of low-end phones - 320x480 pixels (density - 144 pixels per inch). And this is the first observation. The second - low quality of the matrix: for any modelki phone from Fly would be forgivable, but not for large Vender. Viewing angles are small: for example, inclined screen colors are inverted itself from itself - falls contrast, and when turning right or left, the image takes on a purple hue, and slightly decreases the brightness. Even the Chinese Highscreen Yummy Duo and the quality is better.The matrix is made by technology TFT-LCD, capable of displaying 16 million colors. The sensor, of course, the capacitive type, work out up to 5 simultaneous touches. Sensitivity slightly above average, ie on L7 is still better.The brightness is high, and in daylight it is enough for comfortable reading from the screen. But the sun is still blind, and quite strongly.In general, the quality of the screen LG Optimus E610 disappointing, especially after a smart IPS-matrix in the LG Optimus P705. The absence of light sensor also did not play into the hands of the phone.In the setting of "Display" to enable or disable auto-rotation, put up the font size (normal or large), enable or disable the backlight time, and is configured to turn off the screen (from 15 seconds to 10 minutes).Battery
In LG L5 uses a removable lithium-ion (Li-Ion) Battery 1500 mAh, 3.8, 6.5, Tues If we compare the time of L7 and L5, the latter holds a charge a little longer, perhaps because of the low resolution and low-quality matrix display, and use less processor power.The promised battery life - up to 10 hours talk time and up to 900 hours (just over a month) in standby mode. Partially, in practice, these data are confirmed:
Only in the talk mode - up to 8 hours
Only in the playback of music - up to 35 hours
Only when playing a video (maximum brightness, the maximum volume in the headphones) - about 6.5 hours
Only the game (for example, «Running Fred») - a little over 4 hours
Just surfing the web (for Wi-Fi, brightness 40%) - up to 10 hours
Just surfing the web (3G, brightness ranged from 40 to 100%) - 7 - 8 hours
If you use the phone about 14 - 15 hours, the battery is fully discharged if: 15-25 minutes a day, 3 hours of Wi-Fi-Internet (Twitter, email, downloading applications and installing them), about 5 hours of mobile internet

Communications capabilities
The smartphone works in GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and HSDPA 900/2100. The speed HSDPA - 7,2 Mbit / s (LG Optimus L7 - up to 21 Mbit / s), HSUPA - 5.76 Mb / s, EDGE - 236 Kbit / s, GPRS 32-48 Kbps / sec. In the "network settings" there are a few points: data transmission, data roaming, network mode (automatic switching between GSM / WCDMA, WCDMA only or GSM), access point, "only network 2G» and the choice of carriers (either automatically or manually) .There is a Bluetooth version 3.0 with A2DP, and a module Wi-Fi (802.11 a / b / g / n) supports Wi-Fi Direct.

Memory and Memory Card
The smartphone LG Optimus L5 512 MB of RAM, with about 160 MB is available. Note that this memory Optimus L7 was about 110 MB. Unfortunately, LG E610 behaves exactly the same as the older model: the impression that not enough memory, when in fact (according to the application manager) it should be enough. For example, when switching from one application to another machine can think as much as 2-3 seconds. It happens not often, but Skype is running this way. In this case, a council - more often unload the application from the "RAM".The installation of applications allocated 4 GB of Flash-memory, but is free of about 2.6 GB. So, the memory card (maximum - 32 GB) you need to buy.
Camera
Oddly enough, but Optimus E610 uses the exact same camera module (5 megapixel autofocus camera), as in Optimus P705. There is a flash, but there is no front camera. It seems to me, this is a small but negative karma in the LG, because now more and more are beginning to use video chat, especially on vehicles in the medium price range.The maximum size of photos - 2560x1920 pixels, video - 640x480 pixels. Interestingly, this low-resolution video can be fully justified the low price on the gadget, which can not be said about the LG P705, who writes movies in the same capacity.In general, the pictures are pretty good: good detail, the correct white balance, more or less normal dynamic range. We were pleased and the minimum focusing distance - 20-30 mm.A separate button to activate the camera there, so it runs through a shortcut in the menu or the "Screen Lock". For guidance on the sharpness of the need to touch the screen ("tachfokus") or just press the touch shutter button - it will auto focus.Interface photo mode: Left - Activate the gate, switching between photo and video, the transition to the gallery, on the left - "Zoom" brightness modes, flash settings; top - resolution shooting mode, memory, battery life and number of exposures remaining .

Performance
LG is set to the model Optimus L5 Qulacomm MSM7225 chipset with the letter "a." This means that there is set a single-core processor ARMv7-Cortex-A5 (http://www.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a/cortex-a5.php), running at a clock frequency of 800 MHz (minimum - 320 MHz .) In this case, DPS - Hexagon QDSP5 at 350 MHz, Adreno 200 graphics accelerator, and the process technology - 45 nm. Recall that in the LG Optimus L3 MSM7225a chipset is used, while in the LG Optimus L7 - Qulacomm MSM7227a (1 GHz). The difference lies in the fact that MSM7225a works on processors with a clock frequency of 600 MHz to 800 MHz, and MSM7227a - from 800 MHz to 1000 MHz.In all these models use a graphics accelerator Adreno 200. I wonder what he is able to pull toys such as «ShadowGun» - personally, I was surprised. However, despite the very good performance, in general, the smartphone behaves slowly: long runs some applications, slowly unloads the program from memory, sometimes podlagivaet interface. It seems that the blame for this is not fully optimized hull, because the same problems the LG P705.By the way, for the latest release of new firmware, but it had no effect on the speed of the device.

Navigation
The smartphone has GPS-navigator. Its functionality is the same as in most budget phones. "Cold" start - about seven minutes, "hot" - up to 10-15 seconds. Due to the fact that it is set «gpsONE Gen 7" - no GLONASS.
The software platform
The test sample runs on the operating system Google Android 4.0.3, and this is a significant plus, because so far most of the vehicles did not receive ICS.
The shell and menu
To activate the backlight, press the power key or the "Home". On the "lock screen" provides information about the time, date, and the network. They are branded widgets. To configure them should go to "Lock Screen". It contains:
The choice of locking the screen (hold your finger, graphic key, PIN or password)
Wallpaper
Widgets and labels (labels are assigned to four, three widgets available hours)
In this section, in the LG E610 have additional widgets - 2 types of calendar.
To unlock, you need to run your finger across the screen. This function is very original: while moving your finger in a circle appears smooth "main desktop".
"The main desktop" presented widgets and shortcuts. To configure it, you must click on the "Menu" and select the appropriate item, comprising:
Animation (the animation to show or not)
Effects on the screen (the main, the breeze, accordion, pan, carousel, Jeng, dominoes)
Wallpaper
Browse wallpapers (whether or not scroll when scrolling desktop wallpaper)
Rotating the screen (showing the first working table after the last one)
Falling outside the upper pane contains shortcuts to quickly launch Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, or those that you set by pressing the button "Edit". On the same panel are the start button settings, and various notices. They can be removed by holding a finger on them or by clicking the cross at the top right."Four" labels can be replaced by other elements ("Menu" can not be removed). To view all desktops (there are 5), you pinch your fingers to move the center of the screen.The new firmware application appeared «Quick Memo» - quick notes on the smartphone screen. In particular, it can take screenshots. Located in the system tray, top left.
Menu. At the top are tabs "Applications", "Loaded" and "Widgets". The button "More icons" is missing. The screen can fit up to 16 labels 4x4 grid.If you do not like shell, you can always install any other, but switch to a "bare» ICS-processing impossible.
Challenge
Dialer large and comfortable. When entering the first digit, a list of subscribers with matching numbers. When you call on a huge screen is displayed full-screen avatar of contact and, unfortunately, the picture quality is poor. To make it high, you must re-set photos subscribers.
Also during the call are displayed as buttons, "the inclusion of hands-free", "contacts", "call dialer ',' on / off Bluetooth» and "mute." In the call log displays a list of incoming and outgoing calls.
"Contacts" are presented alphabetically ordered list. On the right you can select a letter that begins the name or the name of the subscriber. To create a new contact, you must click on the "plus" at the top of the screen. Each contact is logged the following information:

Messages
For typing the keyboard uses a proprietary LG, similar to the "ayfonovskuyu." The characters are large, well separated from each other. Print is very convenient. Language is switched by pressing the RU / EN. Type can be a landscape or portrait. In the box, enter text above shows the number of remaining characters. Long-term retention of key 123 will launch the keyboard configuration.For those who have vision problems, I advise you to switch the font size in "Display" to "Large." Really nice feature.Once again, that those who are looking for a smartphone with a large font (in sms menu and settings) - suggest a closer look at LG Optimus L5 and L7. In the latter the font size even more.
Applications
I see no reason to re-enumerate all of the program. If you want to - read the previous reviews smartphone LG. There is a standard software from Google and LG. Below - the screenshots.
Web Browser
Used proprietary viewer web pages. Pretty and quite functional. There is a function of the original magnification: keep the "+" button (located in the center of the bottom), and tilt the phone down or lift up. Despite the fact that the device operates at AMRv7-processor, for reasons unknown to me there was no Flash. I tried to install other web browsers, set the "flash" player - did not help. Rather, blame the test sample, so as to LG Optimus P705, and LG Optimus E400 everything works fine.
Multimedia
Music Player
The player can sort songs by artist, album, songs and folders. When playing music, the screen displays: a huge album art, artist name and album title, below - the player control buttons. In the setting of: search, add favorites, SmartShare, add to the playlist, delete, share (note, Bluetooth, Gmail, Skype, SMS / MMS), set as ring tone, information and settings.
Options:
Show notifications (on off).
Sleep Timer (off, 10, 20, 30 minutes, 1 or 2 hours)
Equalizer (off, reducing the bass, treble increase, the increase in bass, vocal enhancement, amplification for headphones)
The standard music player do not advise to use: it produces is not very high-quality sound. I installed one of the most popular - PowerAMP. C and tested them music features LG Optimus L5.
The volume of the headphones is high. Well designed low and high frequencies, averages, as it seemed a little overwhelmed.
The speaker volume is slightly above average.
Supported formats are the default music: MP3, AAC, AAC +, AMR, MP3, MIDI, WAV, WMA
FM-radio
Works in a range FM: 87.5 - 108 MHz. The screen displays the frequency scale, configuration, 6 cell to save the most interesting station to listen to the speaker on and off. The volume of the headphones just above the middle, the receiver sensitivity is good.
Video player
All I said in the review of LG Optimus L3 and L7, in general, valid for L5. In short, the player plays standard formats AVI, MP4 and 3GP, recorded codecs DivX, H263, H264 and MPEG-4.If you are installing, for example, MX Video Player list of supported formats and codecs expands. Maximum resolution may not exceed 1280x720 pixels (the resolution is "for show" - watch the slideshow is unlikely anyone will). Conventional DVDRip come without problems.
Conclusion
The connection quality is good at any other smartphone LG. Vibrating alert is quite noticeable in the pockets of clothing.In my opinion, after the tests L3/L5/L7, I can confidently say that the entire line of «L» has turned out some not fully thought out. For example, take the LG Optimus L3: a convenient, fast and nice, but the screen resolution - 240x320 pixels. Smartphone Optimus L7 - everything seems to be fine, but video, he wrote in the resolution of 0.3 megapixels, and the processor is almost the same "dead" in its price category. With the apparatus Optimus L5 similar story: when a sufficiently large diagonal - poor quality and low-resolution matrix, besides there is no front camera.Direct competitors like it is not so much, but a shame that because of "defects" must oscillate between smartphones, instead of explicitly choose, for example, LG E610, whether there is more resolution and slightly better than the quality of the matrix.
Prior to 9000 rubles worth a closer look at the following devices:
ZTE V880E (two "Sims", 4-inch screen with a resolution of 480x800 pixels, 1 GHz processor).
ZTE V880E: Give two!
Fly IQ280 Tech (4-inch screen with 480x800 resolution and IPS-matrix, 1.2 GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 is the front camera).

Sony Ericsson Live With Walkman (small screen, but a powerful processor, excellent camera with the ability to record HD-video, there is a front camera).

Fly IQ255 (Dual SIM, 4-inch screen with a resolution of 320x480, 512 MB RAM, 1 GHz processor, 3G, and a ridiculous price - 6490 rubles).
Pros:
Android 4.0

Large diagonal display

Not a bad camera
Cons:
The low resolution of the display
Poor quality matrix display
The lack of Flash in the browser (perhaps a bug of the sample)

Unfortunately, LG E610 behaves exactly the same as the older model: the impression that not enough memory, when in fact (according to the application manager) it should be enough. For example, when switching from one application to another machine can think as much as 2-3 seconds. It happens not often, but Skype is running this way. In this case, a council - more often unload the application from the "RAM".The installation of applications allocated 4 GB of Flash-memory, but is free of about 2.6 GB. So, the memory card (maximum - 32 GB) you need to buy.
Camera
Oddly enough, but Optimus E610 uses the exact same camera module (5 megapixel autofocus camera), as in Optimus P705. There is a flash, but there is no front camera. It seems to me, this is a small but negative karma in the LG, because now more and more are beginning to use video chat, especially on vehicles in the medium price range.The maximum size of photos - 2560x1920 pixels, video - 640x480 pixels. Interestingly, this low-resolution video can be fully justified the low price on the gadget, which can not be said about the LG P705, who writes movies in the same capacity.In general, the pictures are pretty good: good detail, the correct white balance, more or less normal dynamic range. We were pleased and the minimum focusing distance - 20-30 mm.A separate button to activate the camera there, so it runs through a shortcut in the menu or the "Screen Lock". For guidance on the sharpness of the need to touch the screen ("tachfokus") or just press the touch shutter button - it will auto focus.Interface photo mode: Left - Activate the gate, switching between photo and video, the transition to the gallery, on the left - "Zoom" brightness modes, flash settings; top - resolution shooting mode, memory, battery life and number of exposures remaining .

Performance
LG is set to the model Optimus L5 Qulacomm MSM7225 chipset with the letter "a." This means that there is set a single-core processor ARMv7-Cortex-A5 (http://www.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a/cortex-a5.php), running at a clock frequency of 800 MHz (minimum - 320 MHz .) In this case, DPS - Hexagon QDSP5 at 350 MHz, Adreno 200 graphics accelerator, and the process technology - 45 nm. Recall that in the LG Optimus L3 MSM7225a chipset is used, while in the LG Optimus L7 - Qulacomm MSM7227a (1 GHz). The difference lies in the fact that MSM7225a works on processors with a clock frequency of 600 MHz to 800 MHz, and MSM7227a - from 800 MHz to 1000 MHz.In all these models use a graphics accelerator Adreno 200. I wonder what he is able to pull toys such as «ShadowGun» - personally, I was surprised. However, despite the very good performance, in general, the smartphone behaves slowly: long runs some applications, slowly unloads the program from memory, sometimes podlagivaet interface. It seems that the blame for this is not fully optimized hull, because the same problems the LG P705.By the way, for the latest release of new firmware, but it had no effect on the speed of the device.

Navigation
The smartphone has GPS-navigator. Its functionality is the same as in most budget phones. "Cold" start - about seven minutes, "hot" - up to 10-15 seconds. Due to the fact that it is set «gpsONE Gen 7" - no GLONASS.
The software platform
The test sample runs on the operating system Google Android 4.0.3, and this is a significant plus, because so far most of the vehicles did not receive ICS.
The shell and menu
To activate the backlight, press the power key or the "Home". On the "lock screen" provides information about the time, date, and the network. They are branded widgets. To configure them should go to "Lock Screen". It contains:
The choice of locking the screen (hold your finger, graphic key, PIN or password)
Wallpaper
Widgets and labels (labels are assigned to four, three widgets available hours)
In this section, in the LG E610 have additional widgets - 2 types of calendar.
To unlock, you need to run your finger across the screen. This function is very original: while moving your finger in a circle appears smooth "main desktop".
"The main desktop" presented widgets and shortcuts. To configure it, you must click on the "Menu" and select the appropriate item, comprising:
Animation (the animation to show or not)
Effects on the screen (the main, the breeze, accordion, pan, carousel, Jeng, dominoes)
Wallpaper
Browse wallpapers (whether or not scroll when scrolling desktop wallpaper)
Rotating the screen (showing the first working table after the last one)
Falling outside the upper pane contains shortcuts to quickly launch Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, or those that you set by pressing the button "Edit". On the same panel are the start button settings, and various notices. They can be removed by holding a finger on them or by clicking the cross at the top right."Four" labels can be replaced by other elements ("Menu" can not be removed). To view all desktops (there are 5), you pinch your fingers to move the center of the screen.The new firmware application appeared «Quick Memo» - quick notes on the smartphone screen. In particular, it can take screenshots. Located in the system tray, top left.
Menu. At the top are tabs "Applications", "Loaded" and "Widgets". The button "More icons" is missing. The screen can fit up to 16 labels 4x4 grid.If you do not like shell, you can always install any other, but switch to a "bare» ICS-processing impossible.
Challenge
Dialer large and comfortable. When entering the first digit, a list of subscribers with matching numbers. When you call on a huge screen is displayed full-screen avatar of contact and, unfortunately, the picture quality is poor. To make it high, you must re-set photos subscribers.
Also during the call are displayed as buttons, "the inclusion of hands-free", "contacts", "call dialer ',' on / off Bluetooth» and "mute." In the call log displays a list of incoming and outgoing calls.
"Contacts" are presented alphabetically ordered list. On the right you can select a letter that begins the name or the name of the subscriber. To create a new contact, you must click on the "plus" at the top of the screen. Each contact is logged the following information:

Messages
For typing the keyboard uses a proprietary LG, similar to the "ayfonovskuyu." The characters are large, well separated from each other. Print is very convenient. Language is switched by pressing the RU / EN. Type can be a landscape or portrait. In the box, enter text above shows the number of remaining characters. Long-term retention of key 123 will launch the keyboard configuration.For those who have vision problems, I advise you to switch the font size in "Display" to "Large." Really nice feature.Once again, that those who are looking for a smartphone with a large font (in sms menu and settings) - suggest a closer look at LG Optimus L5 and L7. In the latter the font size even more.
Applications
I see no reason to re-enumerate all of the program. If you want to - read the previous reviews smartphone LG. There is a standard software from Google and LG. Below - the screenshots.
Web Browser
Used proprietary viewer web pages. Pretty and quite functional. There is a function of the original magnification: keep the "+" button (located in the center of the bottom), and tilt the phone down or lift up. Despite the fact that the device operates at AMRv7-processor, for reasons unknown to me there was no Flash. I tried to install other web browsers, set the "flash" player - did not help. Rather, blame the test sample, so as to LG Optimus P705, and LG Optimus E400 everything works fine.
Multimedia
Music Player
The player can sort songs by artist, album, songs and folders. When playing music, the screen displays: a huge album art, artist name and album title, below - the player control buttons. In the setting of: search, add favorites, SmartShare, add to the playlist, delete, share (note, Bluetooth, Gmail, Skype, SMS / MMS), set as ring tone, information and settings.
Options:
Show notifications (on off).
Sleep Timer (off, 10, 20, 30 minutes, 1 or 2 hours)
Equalizer (off, reducing the bass, treble increase, the increase in bass, vocal enhancement, amplification for headphones)
The standard music player do not advise to use: it produces is not very high-quality sound. I installed one of the most popular - PowerAMP. C and tested them music features LG Optimus L5.
The volume of the headphones is high. Well designed low and high frequencies, averages, as it seemed a little overwhelmed.
The speaker volume is slightly above average.
Supported formats are the default music: MP3, AAC, AAC +, AMR, MP3, MIDI, WAV, WMA
FM-radio
Works in a range FM: 87.5 - 108 MHz. The screen displays the frequency scale, configuration, 6 cell to save the most interesting station to listen to the speaker on and off. The volume of the headphones just above the middle, the receiver sensitivity is good.
Video player
All I said in the review of LG Optimus L3 and L7, in general, valid for L5. In short, the player plays standard formats AVI, MP4 and 3GP, recorded codecs DivX, H263, H264 and MPEG-4.If you are installing, for example, MX Video Player list of supported formats and codecs expands. Maximum resolution may not exceed 1280x720 pixels (the resolution is "for show" - watch the slideshow is unlikely anyone will). Conventional DVDRip come without problems.
Conclusion
The connection quality is good at any other smartphone LG. Vibrating alert is quite noticeable in the pockets of clothing.In my opinion, after the tests L3/L5/L7, I can confidently say that the entire line of «L» has turned out some not fully thought out. For example, take the LG Optimus L3: a convenient, fast and nice, but the screen resolution - 240x320 pixels. Smartphone Optimus L7 - everything seems to be fine, but video, he wrote in the resolution of 0.3 megapixels, and the processor is almost the same "dead" in its price category. With the apparatus Optimus L5 similar story: when a sufficiently large diagonal - poor quality and low-resolution matrix, besides there is no front camera.Direct competitors like it is not so much, but a shame that because of "defects" must oscillate between smartphones, instead of explicitly choose, for example, LG E610, whether there is more resolution and slightly better than the quality of the matrix.
Prior to 9000 rubles worth a closer look at the following devices:
ZTE V880E (two "Sims", 4-inch screen with a resolution of 480x800 pixels, 1 GHz processor).
ZTE V880E: Give two!
Fly IQ280 Tech (4-inch screen with 480x800 resolution and IPS-matrix, 1.2 GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 is the front camera).
Overview of UMTS / GSM-phone Fly Turbo
Sony Ericsson Live With Walkman (small screen, but a powerful processor, excellent camera with the ability to record HD-video, there is a front camera).
Review of GSM / UMTS-phone Sony Ericsson Live With Walkman (WT19i)
Fly IQ255 (Dual SIM, 4-inch screen with a resolution of 320x480, 512 MB RAM, 1 GHz processor, 3G, and a ridiculous price - 6490 rubles).
