LG has not revealed anything about the Optimus F3, but the device seems to have already popped up on the web and is said to be headed to Sprint in the US. It comes across as an entry-level smartphone that forms a part of the recently-unveiled F series of the South Korean manufacturer.
Not much is known about the Optimus F3, but Phone Arena has managed to unearth some details via evleaks. It goes without saying that it will operate with the assistance of the Android platform and the aforementioned website says the handset gorges on the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 OS. Another feature to come to light is that its front panel will be graced by a multi-touch display measuring 4 inches and rendering visuals in WVGA resolution.
The screen size of the device puts it in the compact category of smartphones and can be expected to be made available for a reasonable amount. As for the processor, the grapevine is abuzz with rumors hinting towards a dual core one being the driving force behind the handset. However, specific details about the chipset are not known at this point of time. And that’s not all. Prospective customers will be able to use the device for an entire day without much hassle, thanks to a built-in 2,460mAh battery.
Apart from this smartphone, the concerned series plays host to the likes of F5 and F7, both of which claim to bring 4G LTE support along with an affordable retail tag. They were introduced back in February and were showcased at MWC 2013 in Spain. The former measuring 126 x 64.5 x 9.3 millimeters, accommodates a 4.3-inch IPS touchscreen with a pixel density of 256ppi. A 5MP rear-facing camera and a 1.3MP front-mounted webcam are also fitted on the chassis.
As for the F7, this Jelly Bean-powered smartphone has a 4.7-inch touchscreen along with an 8MP camera and a 1.3MP webcam. It acquires multitasking properties from a 1.5GHz dual core processor and 2GB of RAM. Featuring 8GB onboard memory expandable up to 32GB, it employs a 2,540mAh battery as well.
