14 DAY TRIAL // LG Optimus L7 has already been confirmed in Canada via Rogers about two months ago. However, it looks like the smartphone will make its debut on Fido airwaves as well.
Part of the L-Style family, the LG Optimus L7 has just been introduced in several Europeans country and will soon arrive in North America.
According to an internal document leaked online via MobileSyrup, LG Optimus L7 will be one of the Android smartphones launched by Canadian carrier Fido in the following weeks.
So far, there are no details on the phone's pricing options, but given the fact that Fido is one of Rogers' sub-brands it's likely that prices will be similar.
LG built this smartphone in order to refresh its Android lineup with an ICS-enabled device, but there's no telling how successful the handset will be. The phone is pretty thin at only 8.7mm and measures 125.5 x 67mm.
More importantly, LG Optimus L7 will be delivered with Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, which means owners won't have to wait for this update.
The smartphone comes with a large 4.3-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display that features Corning Gorilla Glass coating. The bad news is that the screen only supports 480 x 800 pixels resolution.
The Optimus L7 is powered by a single core Qualcomm MSM7227A Snapdragon processor clocked at 1GHz, which is complemented by an old Adreno 200 graphics processing unit and 512MB of RAM.
Moreover, the smartphone packs 4GB of internal memory (only 2.4 GB user available), which can be expanded up to 32GB via microSD.
Various connectivity options are available as well, including HSDPA (21Mbps), HSUPA (5.76Mbps), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and GPRS/EDGE class 12.
Last but not least, the Optimus L7 drains energy from a 1700 mAh Li-Ion battery, which has yet to be rated by the manufacturer.
