LG overhauls Android phones from top-end to low-budget

From CNET News.com: SLG Electronics overhauled its Android product line today, with the flagship Optimus G Pro leading the way.

The company divides its Optimus line into four categories: its G series for deep-pocketed early adopters, the F series with the mission of "4G LTE for everyone", the lower-end L series, and the Vu tablets.

The company announced the Optimus G Pro specifications last week, and now it's showing off the 'phablet'-sized device with its mammoth 5.5-inch screen. Soon it and its smaller Optimus G sibling will be joined by more in the line.

The Optimus G Pro tucks a 1.7GHz Qualcomm quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM behind its 1,920x1,080-pixel, 5.5-inch IPS display. It uses Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.

The Optimus F7 and F5 are mid-range models with a 4.7-inch and 4.3-inch displays, respectively, and both run Android 4.1.1. The The F7 has a mid-level 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and the F5 steps down with a 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon equivalent.

The Optimus L3 II, L5 II, and L7 II update the company's lower-end lines, and none of them have LTE networking. The L7 II has a 4.2-inch, 800x480-pixel screen, the L5 II a 4-inch 800x480 screen, and the L3 II a 3.2-inch 320x240 screen.
