DESCRIPTION
The L90 sits at the top of LG's recently introduced mid-range L Series III lineup and runs Android KitKat. Unlike other manufacturers that water down their affordable devices in comparison to their high-end flagships, the South Korean brand’s offering gets all its software features from the top-end smartphones, the G2 and G Pro 2. Let’s take a visual tour of the LG L90 Dual's features, capabilities and real-world performance.TRANSCRIPT

Lovely 4.7-inch display
• A 4.7-inch IPS panel adorns the front• Displays rich colours. No signs of pixelation even though the
resolution is 960 x 540 pixels• Sadly, misses out on an ambient light sensor which means that
brightness needs to be set manually• Night Mode lowers the brightness automatically though

Pricing and verdict
“The LG L90 delivers a very good experience thanks to a nice combination of hardware and software. LG’s addition of software features on top of Android 4.4 KitKat comes in handy in many situations. Its pricing might seem a tad
higher compared to the competition, but the L90 is still a worthy dual-SIM option to consider in the mid-range
territory.”
