The dual-core LG Optimus L9
T-Mobile's LG Optimus L9 is equipped with a quad-core CPU and 4G capabilities that make it a swift midrange device.
Tapping into the UI
In addition to its 4.5-inch qHD touch screen, the Optimus L9 sports LG's Optimus 3.0 user interface. Unfortunately, some Optimus 3.0 handsets, including this one, don't have customizable app icons.
Charging port
At the bottom of the phone is a Micro-USB charging port.
Listening to music
The top of the L9 hosts a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Rear-facing camera
The Optimus L9 houses a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera (with LED flash) that can record 1080p HD video.
Feeling the back
The back plate of the L9 is made out of a matte plastic that gives the handset a rubberized feel.
