Optimus L3 Dual comes with 384MB of RAM, 1GB of internal memory and 3.2 megapixel rear camera. Though there is no official word but it is unlikely that this smartphone will get an upgrade to Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

Just last month, LG had launched its mid-range Optimus L5 and Optimus L7 in the country along with its flagship smartphones LG Optimus 3D Max P725.
