Hot on the heels of the Optimus L7II launch in Russia, LG Electronics announced that the second model in its new generation Optimus L SeriesII will make its world debut in Brazil this week.

This will be followed by single and dual SIM models being introduced in the other markets of South and Central America, Europe, Asia, Middle East and Africa.

Optimus L3II advances the styling of the original Optimus L3 smartphone with four new elements: Seamless Layout, Laser Cut Contour, Radiant Rear Design, and colorful Smart LED Lighting on the home button.

Beyond the phone's sleek exterior, Optimus L3II has a larger capacity battery and offers QuickMemo with Overlay mode - previously only available in LG's premium smartphones. QuickMemo with Overlay mode allows users to jot notes on a transparent "layer" while still being able to view another screen in the background. This eliminates the need to split the screen and allows both QuickMemo and the other application to be viewed in full-screen mode simultaneously.

The Optimus L3II comes in four colors.

Staying at MWC 2013, LG has successfully co-demonstrated Time Division-Long Term Evolution (TD-LTE) service in partnership with China Mobile, the world's largest mobile operator. TD-LTE is a telecommunications technology for 4G LTE networks that differs from the widely adopted Frequency Division-LTE (FD-LTE) technology. China Mobile plans to roll out the TD-LTE network in the second half of this year. The demonstration at MWC 2013 was conducted using a modified Optimus G, LG's flagship smartphone.

LG will roll out TD-LTE-capable smartphones in China in the second half of the year when China Mobile launches its TD-LTE service.
