LG Optimus L5 down to £69.95 on PAYG upgrade
Carphone Warehouse offering entry-level ICS phone at reduced price until June 6
British retailer Carphone Warehouse sends word that it's temporarily lowered the price of the LG Optimus L5 to a little under £70 on Pay As You Go upgrade. That means upgrading PAYG customers can walk into a CPW store, hand over £69.95 (plus a credit top-up, usually around £10), and leave with a fully functional -- if not particularly speccy -- Android smartphone.
The L5 is just over a year old, having made its debut at Mobile World Congress 2012. It's packing an 800MHz CPU, 512MB of RAM, a HVGA (320x480) display, 5MP camera and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. So it's nothing like the crazy hardware we're enjoying at the high end of the Android spectrum, but it's hard to imagine getting any more phone for your money at this price point.
Carphone Warehouse's promotion for the Optimus L5 runs until June 6.
