Competively priced prepaid phone
Available at T-Mobile for $228 prepaid, the LG Optimus L90 packs plenty of features in an affordable handset, including a 4.7-inch screen, Android KitKat, and a quad-core processor.
Some photo options for the 5-MP shooter
The rear- and front-facing cameras offer a variety of options. Both have a brightness meter, five white-balance options, four color effects, a timer, geotagging, and voice shutter.
Quad-core muscle inside
The L90 is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core processor and a sizeable 2,460mAh removable battery, which has a reported talk time of 6 hours.
Still pocketable and comfortable
As the biggest member of the L-series family, the L90 features larger measurements while remaining pocketable and easy to hold. It is 5.18 inches tall, 2.60 inches wide, and 0.38 inch thick.
Scratch-resistant back side
The handset's battery door here is coated with a special “self-healing” material that we saw previously on the G Flex. The slick coating is meant to protect the handset from minor scratches and scruffs.
IR blaster and a remote
With the IR blaster situated on the top edge, the QuickRemote app can turn the handset into a remote for household devices like a TV or cable box.
Decent 4.7-inch screen
The 4.7-inch qHD touchscreen has a 960x540-pixel resolution. Despite the display's low resolution, the screen is still bright and vivid, and is easily viewable in direct sunlight.
