LG L5000 (F590)
LG launched a new smartphone
called LG L5000 (F590) which is once again exclusive to its home country.
The LG G5
came with a new design where the volume rockers are shifted from the back of
the device to the side edge, but the LG L5000 continues the same design
language as their earlier design and looks similar to the LG G3 that was
launched in 2014.
The volume rocker along with circular
power button are placed on the rear of the device. It features a 5.9-inch
display which is limited to just HD (1280 x 720 pixels) resolution. The device
is powered by the in-house Nuclun LG GH14 octa-core processor clocked at 1.5 GHz
along with 2 GB of RAM. The LG G3 is the first device to feature the LG’s Nuclun
processor and unlike Samsung, LG hasn’t used their own processor.
But few rumors suggests that LG is
investing more into the Chipset business, and we can see few more upcoming
smartphones to use Nuclun processors. Talking about the device, it has 32GB of
internal storage which can be expanded via MicroSD card slot. It runs on
Android 5.1 Lollipop with customized UX UI laid on top. There is a 13 MP rear
camera with laser autofocus, OIS+, and LED flash; and a 2.1MP front-facing
camera for selfies.
The device is backed by a removable
3,000 mAh battery that is rated to deliver 22 hours talk time and lasts upto 385
hours on standby. It measures 157.8 x 81.8 x 9.45 mm and weighs 182 grams. The
built-in DMB-TV tuner provides live TV streaming which can be found in most
South Korean smartphones. It has 1W speaker amplifier which provides rich sound
experience.
