The L3 is the low end of the trio, with a 3.2-inch display, 3MP camera and just a couple of gigabytes of storage space, plus it's on Android 2.3 Gingerbread. But it does fit nicely in small hands, so it's got that going for it.

SEOUL, Mar. 2, 2012 – The LG Optimus L3, a compact smartphone with timeless style first introduced at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2012 in Barcelona earlier this week, will get its European debut starting March. The Optimus L3 is the first model from the L-Style design series starting this year.

 

LG Optimus L3 offers users an authentic experience compromising the style and practical technologies.

Its 3.2-inch display provides the ideal viewing experience on a compact smartphone.

Customers even have a variety of options when choosing the color for their device - white, black, hot pink or blue.
