LG Optimus Net By 3G.co.uk

 

The LG Optimus Net is a neat-sized Android device at a budget price. It has a good go at offering media and web facilities, but doesn't excel at either

Decent budget snapper; solid chassis; budget price

Small display; lack of onboard storage; user interface is not impressive

LG Optimus Net

 

LG's hoping to hoping to continue the success of its best-selling Optimus One with its latest budget blower, which has officially landed as the LG Optimus Net.

LG Optimus Net Review

 

LG isn't as productive as Samsung or HTC in churning out Android handsets as if there's no tomorrow, but it did provide us with a fair amount this year, and the LG Optimus Net is its latest low-end offering.
