LG Optimus L9

Price: TBD

Availability: TBD

The outlook: LG's line of midrange handsets, known as its L-series, unveiled an additional family member at IFA 2012. The LG Optimus L9 operates on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, houses a 4.7-inch IPS display, and is powered by a 2,150mAh battery -- making it the most robust L-phone yet. The best part? Inside is a 1GHz dual-core processor, which beefs up the much-needed processing speed of the laggy L-series.
