> In reply to Anonymous @ 2013-06-12 15:08 from EbV1 - click to readActually there are other things. Like S4 mini and HTC one will come with 4.2.2. This is still 4.1.2. And there is no mention of gyro either. Which may not be important to you but it is for me. Another thing is time. This was announced in February and still yet to come... Another handicap..

Anyhow if they were to release it like an upgraded P970,including flash, gyro, SD card and etc; it would be my first choice no matter what. LG is my brand. Otherwise i am gonna have to pass. they are important for me. But if they are not for you; you can buy it. It all comes to personel choises and needs. :)

HTC one on the other hand has flash, better screen but lacks SD slot and has smaller battery (which doesn't mix well with high performance screens).

in the end every phone will have its shortcomings, but as it stands the only "shortcoming" of F5 is lack of flash.

Look at the specs. Now here you are defending the lack of flash? You can't be serious. Not having a flash was a big misteke. Period! Let's hope they would make a phone with the same design. But without leaving important things out. Like "flash", SD card..etc.

Cameras are for taking videos and pictures, not phones. Who gives a flying F*** about flash. This is a good cheap mid-range phone. If you want all the bells and whistles go for (obscenly oversized) flagships of top companies.

This phone should have a Flash, 8Mp Camera with 1080@30fps capability and lastly a 1.5Ghz/Higher Dual Core Krait Processor coupled with 1Gb/2Gb of RAM.

Otherwise i am considering S4 mini. Aside from the screen and the design s4 mini is better. LG is my brand. But i can't buy a phone that lacks basic features just because of my fancy for the company. They need to make more clever decisions if they wanna compete with Samsung.

I have the Escape P870,is the same phone and don't have flash. In my case, I really don't use too much the camera, so it's not a problem for me. For that I have a reflex camera. In other hand, the phone is really fast. For the price I've bought the phone, really worth it. If you don´t mind take night photos and want a fast phone, you should give it a try to this phone.

I think LED issue is resolved.

> In reply to User @ 2013-05-24 17:17 from KxmV - click to readUnfortunately that might be written with haste or they didn't think there won't be a flash. C'mon who can imagine a camera without flasg except... There is no indication in anywhere, not even on LG's website that the phone actually has flash. And if you look at the pictures of the phones back there is no flash. Plus, someone from Hong Kong said he bought it and there was no flash.

Until the phone is really out can't say with %100 that it does not ahve flash but %90 chance it's not gonna have one. Which is a real shame. :(

" At the back, there's a 5MP autofocus camera, compete with an LED flash." quote from GSMarena article about LG optimus at MWC 2013

People who are considering to buy it would still have bought it if it had flash (more gladly possibly), but not every one of them is gonna buy it because the lack of flash. It's that simple unfortunately.

> In reply to Iceman0611 @ 2013-05-17 19:46 from thY} - click to readI understand what you are saying. But unfortunately that's not it. Do you know how much a flash will add to the cost? They either forgot it or they made a big mistake. LG's poor decisions like this prevents it from being a major player. LG' hardware is better than Samsung but it is sooo behind Samsung.

Major reason is Samsung supplies best software support to it's phones, LG doesn't. Galaxy S2 got JB, LG's similar phones got only a poorly done ICS. And they gave it because of the huge protests of the users. Otherwise LG was decided not to give. Oh, and they give it very very late, people were using JB when LG gave it. LG cuts the support and forces you to buy new phones. Which is soo poor judgement. A new phone every year? Gotta be a joke..

I love LG. Despite it's major faults it's still my first choice. But unfortunately it has poor judgements. Like this "flash" issue. It's very simple.I'll buy this phone if it will have flash. If not i'll buy a Samsung or Sony. This is my opinion of course. But there is one fact; everyone who is considering to buy this phone would still buy it if it had a flash, but not all of them aregonna buy it because it doesn't have it.

Lg is trying to balance quality and affordability. Hence, a mid range phone with cool specs witout the flash.
