There is an 8-megapixel front shooter while the front one is 1.3-megapixel. LG Optimus F7 packs in 2,540mAh battery.

Both LG Optimus F7 and Optimus F5 include advanced UX features such as the upgraded QSlide and Live Zooming, previously only available on LG's premium devices.

The Korean smartphone maker has so far not announced the pricing for these smartphones. However, it has indicated that the worldwide rollout of the Optimus F5 will begin in the second quarter in Europe, and will be followed by Optimus F7 in selected markets.



"LG continues to lead the industry with 4G LTE innovation and the Optimus F Series, a well-balanced an well-equipped 4G LTE smartphone for the mass market, embodies the best of our broad LTE patent portfolio and innovative UX features," said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. "With adoption of LTE expected to explode in 2013, we are sending a clear message to consumers with the Optimus F Series that LTE isn't just for heavy content users and techies anymore.
