Short Review
- The LG Optimus Elite LS696 features a compact design with dimensions of 117 x 63 x 10 mm and a weight of 120g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 3.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 165 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm MSM8655 Snapdragon S2 chipset with an 800 MHz CPU and Adreno 205 GPU, supported by 4GB of RAM.
- The rear camera has a 5 MP sensor with autofocus, capable of capturing decent images, though it lacks optical image stabilization and a front camera.
- The 1520 mAh battery provides basic longevity but does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 2.3.7 (Gingerbread), the software experience is limited compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
- The device has a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer.
- Overall, the LG Optimus Elite is a basic smartphone with essential features suited for light usage.
