a nicer display and a much sleeker build
sharp and bright
and text and images look great
well-priced
attractive device
The 5-megapixel camera is surprisingly good
Colors and detail look accurate and sharp

good build quality and a decent torsion resistance as
The build quality is actually very good
intuitive and smooth handling
LG smartphone does look really nice
build quality the rest of the phone appears to be quite solid
it is a pretty handsome looking phone
renewable and portable energy
better sound performance and enhancement
graphics performance on the L9 was better
efficient and quite fun
colorful
sharp
and surprisingly bright
$240 prepaid price is reasonable and it offers ICS natively
It was sensitive and registered my touches easily
dual-core processor was also snappy
decent specs and solid performance
fairly simple to deal with
and easily customizable
The on-screen keyboard was fairly easy to use

still gets crushed by the competition
won't be long before you run out storage
can't delete most of the apps that come pre-installed
only a rather pitiful 4GB of storage
noise cancellation caused a faint humming sound in the background
speakerphone quality was poor
data speeds were a bit slower in general
the sound bouncing off the back plate of the phone
sounded somewhat muffled at times
it took almost twice as long to load the Web sites
old network and running an outdated version of Android
T-Mobile is just a little pricier
not a huge jump
there is no true grid for the widgets snap to
the gaps between widgets and folder are a bit maddening
not a technology expert
lack of carrier-specific applications on the phone
you cannot use LTE or 4G networks
Optimus L9 II does not support the fast wireless standard
neither has performance problems with HD videos nor complex games
picture noise
being offered for the Optimus L9 and this lack is disturbing
the phone only has 4 GB of internal storage
