"Mid-range" is the middle name of the LG Optimus F5 and it's been already announced, together with its higher end sibling, the F7, right before MWC's start. It feels good in the hand despite the fact that the phone is made out of plastic — like every other LG phone the company brought to MWC this year — however, not cheap (unless you consider the Samsung Galaxy S III and Note II cheap with their hyperglazed plastic builds).

Just to recap, the Optimus F5 is the lower-end among the F-series of phones, packing a 4.3-inch qHD display, dual-core 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, five-megapixel camera, 2,150mAh battery, 8GB of internal storage, LTE capability, microSD expansion for the storage, as well as Android 4.1.2 on-board with LG's proprietary UI on top of it. less
