Good
- Affordable price
- Bright screen
- Decent battery life
The L5 II’s battery is a 1,700mAh affair, which is fairly capacious. LG quotes around nine hours of talk time from a single charge.
Conclusion
With its decent screen, good battery life and affordable price, the LG L5 II is a decent option for smart phone newbies, or just the more budget-minded among you. It’s not the flashiest phone around by any means, and its processor performance is far from impressive. It offers a fair all-round experience though and doesn’t ask too much for it in return.
