Comparison: lg optimus l7 vs sony xperia s

Then we will see a comparison between two next - generation smart phones: LG Optimus L7 and Sony Xperia S. Two smartphones that are focused on two very different audiences. While the first could be aimed at a less demanding customer, the second is the opposite. In addition to finding differences in its design and in the materials used for its construction, great differences can also be seen in the technical characteristics offered by both terminals.

Design and display

Both teams have large multi-touch screens: 4.3 inches diagonally and that recognize natural gestures on them. however, the first difference that can be seen is in its resolution. First, LG Optimus L7 offers 800 x 480 pixels, the Japanese model (Sony Xperia S) arrive at a resolution high - definition (1,280 x 720 pixels).

In both cases, screens resistant to bumps and scratches are offered thanks to the Gorilla Glass treatment. Also, another of the big differences is the materials used in the construction of the two chassis. LG Optimus L7 offers resistant materials but made with plastics. Meanwhile, the Sony Xperia S is more attractive at first glance and aluminum has been used to create a one-piece chassis that will give it strength and low weight.

On the other hand, LG Optimus L7 offers a central button to return to the main screen at any time, while Sony Xperia S offers capacitive touch buttons whose icons can be reflected in the translucent bar that characterizes the new range of smartphones so much. the Japanese.

Connectivity

Perhaps it is the section where the least differences can be found: firstly, the two smartphones have the possibility of connecting to the latest generation 3G networks, as well as making use of high-speed WiFi networks in order not to exceed the limit that is imposed in the contracted data rate.

In addition, they can be connected to different home computers using NFC or DLNA technologies. Of course, the Sony Xperia S goes one step further and offers the possibility of connecting with a television or a monitor thanks to its integrated HDMI port. There is also the possibility of connecting to other terminals or compatible accessories thanks to the integrated Bluetooth module.In terms of cable connections, you can see the typical 3.5 mm audio output or a microUSB port that will serve both to charge your battery and to synchronize data with a computer.

Of course, a "" assisted "" GPS receivers could not be absent that will allow the user to move along roads or streets without the possibility of getting lost in the attempt to reach the destination.

Photo camera

One of the great differences that can be observed is when taking a photograph. LG Optimus L7, even though it is the high-end mobile of the LG Optimus L-Style range, is still a mid-range / high-end mobile on the market. Instead, the Sony Xperia S could be considered completely high-end. In the first case, it offers a five mega-pixel rear camera accompanied by an LED Flash. However, in the Japanese model it was chosen to include a sensor twelve megapixels that, to make matters worse, is the same type of sensor that provides in its Sony compact cameras and known by Exmor R .

Meanwhile, in the video recording section, the LG Optimus L7 can only record clips in VGA quality (640 x 480 pixels) with a rate of 30 images per second, the Sony Xperia S will offer the customer a much higher quality: Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) with the same rate of 30 frames per second.

But here it is not all, and the Sony Xperia S has a function called 3D Sweep Panorama , which allows the user to view three-dimensional images on a compatible television.

Finally, both models have front cameras for video conferencing. In the LG Optmius L7 we find a VGA sensor (0.3 Megapixels). And the Sony Xperia S has a 1.3 Megapixel sensor that can also make high definition video calls up to 720p.

Processor and memory

Continuing with the differences, one of the highlights of the Sony Xperia S is that it includes a dual-core processor inside with a working frequency of 1.5 GHz. To this must be added a RAM of one GigaByte. Meanwhile, the LG Optimus L7 offers a single-core processor with a working frequency of one GHz, and to which we will have to add a RAM of 512 MB.

On the other hand, the internal storage memories also differ a lot: Sony Xperia S offers 32 GB of memory, while in the LG Optimus L7 only four GB will be available. Although be careful, while the Korean model has a slot to insert memory cards in MicroSD format of up to 32 GB, in the Japanese model this option is not available; In other words, if you want to increase capacity, you will have to resort to Internet-based services such as Dropbox.

Operating system and applications

As we mentioned at the beginning, the two advanced mobiles today enjoy Google's Android 4.0 operating system. However, and taking into account the previous section, the fluidity of the Sony Xperia S when making applications work or in its general operation will be much more prominent than in the LG Optimus L7. Above all you have to take into account the RAM of one GB in the Sony and 512 MB in the LG model.

Also, the user interface in both cases will be different. But with both, it will look perhaps more striking than that offered by the original operating system. But in this sense, the user must assess their tastes.

What can be found in both cases are the different Google services pre-installed inside the smartphones. Examples: Google Talk to chat with friends or family, Google Calendar to keep up with all appointments or YouTube, the famous Internet video service.

Of course, both companies know that having direct access to the social networks of the moment is a plus for their sales. And both teams offer access to both Facebook and Twitter through different icons that can be seen in the menu of the two terminals.

Feedback

They are two mobiles that, although they share the same screen size and the same operating system "" including the version "", are aimed at different audiences. Of course, this will also be noticed when buying it in free format: LG Optimus L7 can be found for 270 euros, while Sony Xperia S is available at a price of 500 euros if purchased directly from the manufacturer's online store.

In definite accounts, Sony Xperia S is focused on an audience that, in addition to wanting a mobile to work and being connected to the Internet 24 hours a day, also has an outstanding performance when it comes to turning to multimedia reproductions or wants to carry a good camera photos in your pocket.

On the other hand, the potential public of the LG Optimus L7 could be a sector that does not want to spend too much money on a mobile but wants a terminal with a large screen, all kinds of connections and that, in addition, does not give too much importance to carry a good integrated camera.
