The LG L line recorded strong sales figures with over 10 Million units sold over just the first year of launching. The LG L7 is one of the crowd favorites from the line primarily due to its price advantage.
Here a quick LG L7 review

Design
Dimensions: 125.5 x 67 x 8.7 mm
Weight: 122 g
It is an all-plastic affair with the LG L7. This is, however, nothing out of the ordinary as it is a very common aspect with most mid-tier devices. Nevertheless, the all-plastic exterior is sturdy and feels good in the hands.
There is the standard button placement with a large conspicuous menu key button key at the lower bezel. This is rather a generic design concept that LG seems to be shaking. I say this in the context of the intuitive design of placing the volume rockers below the rear camera as seen in the LG G2 Mini.
