There’s been a pretty significant price drop on the LG Prada 3.0 today, which is now down to £225 (£270) inc. VAT. Going by LG’s original schedule, the handset is also due an upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich fairly imminently.
We sent the guys over at Pocket-Lint a Prada phone by LG.
Their verdict:
There is a lot to like about the Prada Phone by LG 3.0. It is one of the best LG phones that we’ve seen of late, combining a smart design with some of LG’s best features and most importantly stability in the software so we could be confident everything would work as it should.
The Prada theme is only really skin deep and that’s both good and bad. It’s certainly a good-looking phone and it’s nice to find that the application of a designer label doesn’t divert this device from its true purpose. It’s still a smartphone and a very capable one at that. It might not boast the latest and greatest figures, but when it comes to daily use, we were perfectly happy with what it offered.
This is a Prada phone you can buy, safe in the knowledge that you won’t get laughed off the block by the Android crowd.

The Prada Phone by LG despite it’s strong specification didn’t really spark my interest too much prior to launch, probably because of the whole ‘Prada’ thing. I got the impression that too much focus was on the Prada brand and theme and not the hardware.
Having had some hands on time with the phone now, I have to admit that I was wrong to have such opinions. So here is a quick review.
Yes, it does have a lot of Prada branding and you feel that maybe a lot of emphasis has been put on features which too many wouldn’t really be an issue or a big deal, but to the style conscious there are many positives. It looks good; the interface is different to many other Android phones and it has the name attributed it.

We now have the Prada Phone by LG in stock at Clove and will begin shipping all outstanding orders tomorrow. The Android Gingerbread beauty has been launched with actor Edward Norton and model Daria Werbowy as the faces of the advertising campaign and will be the third handset released under the collaboration of Prada and LG, although the first to run the Android operating system.
With its Prada backed design and celebrity endorsement, the Prada Phone by LG certainly has the style side of things covered. However, it’s not just the exterior of the Prada that’s of a premium design, its innards are of a high enough standard to compete with other market leading smartphones. Here’s a look at the main features that it has to offer:
