as Kristen we're looking at the LG optimus l5 now this like the l3 is a member of LG's new elle style series and if I can show you the l5 and l3 side by side you can get a an idea for the size difference there but there's actually a lot more going on here than just the difference in size it's not like you say well I want a small phone I take the l3 on a big phone i'll take the l5 the l5 has NFC integrated you can see the NFC logo there on the textured back and it also comes out of the box with android 4.0 the l3 is android 2.3 so this has that very cool transition effect lock screen that we saw on the optimus 4x as well and i can unlock there and you get an idea for what android 4.2 like on an hvga display this is a 4 inch hvga with capacitive buttons down here at the bottom you can't really see them against the white there but you have back you have the multitasking button and then the home button which is a physical clicker in the middle and right now we noticed this on the optimus 4x as well the the multitasking button is actually routing to menu for some reason but I suspect that's not going to happen by the time these actually shed so you'll notice one thing that's kind of unusual is that on the l5 they've changed from a satin chrome finish to an actual chrome on the sides which I personally don't love but some people might like it looks relatively high quality you can tell from the specs and from the materials that they're using this is kind of geared toward the lower end of the market and I think they've kind of nailed it in terms of style so that's a quick look at the optimus l5 you
