LG Optimus L3 E400 budget-friendly smartphone leaked ahead of announcement

Heads up – if you were planning on getting your hands on an affordable Android handset, it seems that a retailer in Sweden might have gotten ahead of themselves by starting to accept pre-orders for a certain LG Optimus L3 E400. Like we said, based on the retailer’s asking price of €145, which is about $190, for those looking for a high-end Android smartphone might want to look elsewhere, but if you’re a little tight on cash, perhaps this phone might be of interest.

In terms of hardware for the LG Optimus L3 E400, the device will feature a 3.2” QVGA display, a 3MP rear-facing camera, 3G, WiFi, microSD card support up to 32GB and it will run on Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The device will also be available in either black or white, and while no official release date has been given, it is expected that the LG Optimus L3 E400 will be debuted at MWC 2012 alongside its higher-end sibling which will be held towards the end of February in Barcelona, Spain.
