LG Optimus Zone
LG OPTIMUS ZONE REVIEW
Earlier
rumors were suggesting Verizon Wireless was going to add the LG Optimus Zone to
the prepaid lineup and as of today, it look like that handset has come
available. The Optimus Zone is also known as the Optimus L3, an entry level
handset. As for the other device, that will be the Optimus Exceed, which is a
rebranded version of the LG Lucid. Similar to the Optimus Zone, the Optimus
Exceed is an entry-level device. Verizon Wireless recently added two LG devices
to its roster of prepaid phones. The LG Optimus Zone (pictured) is a rebadged
version of the LG Optimus L3 II. It has a 3.2-inch QVGA display; 800MHz
processor with 4GB of internal storage; 3.2-megapixel camera with video
capture; Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth 3.0; and a 1,540mAh battery. The Optimus
Zone is limited to 3G data and runs Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread. It costs $79.99.
The LG Optimus Exceed is a rebadged version of the LG Lucid. The Exceed
features a 4-inch display protected by Corning's Gorilla Glass; a 5-megapixel
camera with 1080p HD video capture; user-facing camera; and a dual-core 1.2GHz
processor with 1GB of RAM. The LG Optimus Exceed runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream
Sandwich and is also limited to 3G data. Both are low priced and those
considering a purchase would need to shell out.
