Optimus L3 vs. HTC Explorer
I'm on a canvassing mode right now, looking for an entry-level android phone as a gift for myself for the hard work. It can't afford the mid-range to high-end android phones out there, so i'll just settle for the entry level android phone, which will still give me the android experience for a low price. Upon my canvas, there are three android phones that caught my attention: Samsung Galaxy Y, LG Optimus L3 E400, and HTC Explorer. For now, Galaxy Y is out my radar due to poor hardware and features in contrast with the latter two. For the sake of my readers and for myself of course, I'll post a comparison between LG Optimus L3 and HTC Explorer

In the head-to-head comparison, LG Optimus L3 has the clear advantage on the processing speed and internal storage. HTC Explorer meanwhile is the runaway winner in terms of RAM and ROM. Another important criteria in choosing the best is the screen display quality. Both have low display quality, but HTC has the better display screen at 320X480 pixels (180ppi). This makes my decision making in vain once again. According to some forums, low internal storage is not a problem for HTC Explorer anymore since you can transfer installed apps to the SD Card. HTC is a bit expensive than LG Optimus L3.
So which one shall I choose guys? Please help me on this matter. Thanks.
