Obviously, it is true that Samsung and Apple are now the biggest smartphone manufacturers in the world. But, the sales of LG handsets are also ramping up and the company is predicted to be one of the best smartphone manufacturers similar to Samsung.

Specwise, LG Optimus L5 2 comes with a 4.0-inch WVGA display with 480 x 800 pixel resolution, 1GHz processor, 5MP rear camera, 512MB RAM, 4GB internal storage, micro SD card slot, Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth and a 1,700mAh battery. Further, Optimus L5 2 runs on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean OS and has dual SIM support.

It has to be noted that this is the first time that the South Korean manufacturer has forayed into the budget smartphone segment with the launch of Jelly Bean handsets, while that particular market segment is also haunted by a plethora of India based vendors. So far, the Indian smartphone space witnessed many dual SIM Jelly Bean handsets from companies including Micromax, Byond, Karbonn, Lava and more.
