Display & Audio

The display on the L6 is quite good, it is bright, but in my opinion the screen is kind of small. Although you can see everything, a nice big screen is always a plus.  The size difference between the L6 and L7 is very minimal (4 mm taller), but with the L7 they gave you a smaller black trim around the screen which can be seen in the photo below.  This minor change gives the L7 display a longer and bigger presence.  

One of the noted differences between the L6 screen and the L7 is that the L6 supports fewer colors then the L7.  The L6 screen displays 65k different colors and is 128x 160 pixels and the L7 screen displays 256k colors and is 176 x 220 pixels.

The L6 supports mp3 songs. The speaker is fairly loud too. Depending on if you listen to music from your phone or not will help make your decision about the L6 or L7. On the L6 the mp3’s are mainly for ring tones or other sounds and notifications due to the low built in memory. If you are planning to use your phone as an mp3 player I suggest the L7 because it has expandable memory and you can get up to 1GB micro SD memory cards. L6 display vs. L7 display
