LG Optimus F5 To Launch Today; Expected In India Shortly

The Optimus F5 can be expected to have a competitive price tag as it falls into the mid-range smartphones segment.

 

LG Optimus F5, that was showcased before the Mobile World Congress this year, is all set to be launched globally, with France being the first stop on April 29. The smartphone will be launched in Asia, along with Southern and Central America, in the next few weeks, according to an LG release. The LG Optimus F5 is 4G enabled, and runs Android 4.1.2 Android Jelly Bean operating system out of the box.

The device's launch in India can also be expected very soon, as Asia is very much on the Optimus F5's radar. And since India is a key market for LG, the launch would not be far away. An Indian Express report mentions about the possibility of LG Optimus F5 being launched in India in the next few weeks.

However, Airtel and BSNL (4G WIMAX Broadband Services only in Kochi) are the current operators here offering 4G services, but Airtel's network doesn't support mainstream 4G smartphones. So we are not sure if the F5 that will be sold here will have a LTE module. The LG Optimus F5 comes with the QTranslator function which instantly translates not only words, but also entire sentences and phrases by simply using the camera to scan the text. QTranslator accepts input in 44 different languages and can translate them into any one of 64 languages. Live Zooming (lets users zoom in on videos so they can get a closer, detailed look at any specific area) and QSlide (allows users to open multiple apps at the same time in full screen mode with the ability to change the size, position and transparency of the windows) are also some of the smartphone's notable features.

The key technical specifications are:

  • 4.3 inch IPS display having a resolution of 256 ppi
  • 1.2GHz dual-core processor
  • Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean operating system
  • 5MP autofocus rear camera along with a 1.3MP front snapper
  • 1GB RAM
  • 8GB internal storage
  • microSD (supports up to 32GB)
  • 2,150mAh battery

These specs indicate that the Optimus F5 falls into the "mid-range" smartphones category. The pricing of the smartphone is not known as of now but should be similar to the LG Optimus L9 (under Rs 18,000) as the hardware specifications are fairly similar. Another similar mid-range smartphone, the Optimus F7, was also released with the Optimus F5, but no details about this device are available as of now.
