LG Optimus G

After already making the rounds for months in North America and Asia, the Optimus G finally hit the UK last week. In its arsenal is a serious set of specs that allow it to rival the competing high-end smartphones... from last year. The LG Optimus G has a 4.7-inch HD display (an IPS panel with 1280 x 768 resolution for a pixel density of 318 dpi), a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm S4 Pro quad-core processor, 2 GB of RAM, a 2,100 mAh battery, 32 GB of non-expandable storage (26 GB of which are available for content and files), a 13-Megapixel camera that films in Full HD 1080p, and the Android Jelly Bean operating system with LG's Optimus UI 3.0 overlay on top. Similar in countless ways to last year's LG-built Google Nexus 4—except for, maybe, the low price—this "new" smartphone from LG has very nice-looking specs, but they simply don't match up to the top Android dogs of today (Xperia Z, HTC One and the soon-to-be-released Galaxy S4). When it was first launched last year, the Optimus G was a big deal. Now that it has finally made its way to Europe, can it compete? Not everybody is a fan of plastic smartphone shells, so if you're one of these people you'll be delighted to see that the Optimus G has an all-glass body.

LG Optimus G review

LG's road to smartphone success has been rockier than most. After false starts with the Optimus series, LG basically took 2012 off; a sabbatical from the top-tier end of the market to gather its thoughts.During this time it focused on the pre-paid and BYO segment with its cheaper L-Series models like the Optimus L5, and having enjoyed some success with them, now makes its return to the big leagues with the Optimus G.LG is also responsible for the popular, but difficult to obtain, Google Nexus 4. If you are familiar with Google's mobile unicorn, you will have a headstart in imagining the Optimus G. They share the same glass finish, front and back, and an identically specced 4.7-inch IPS display.LG relies on Corning Gorilla Glass 2 to cover its phones, and promises some durability in line with how Corning markets the Gorilla Glass products. Still, as it is with glass on any phone, you don't want to be dropping the Opitmus G.Starry, starry nightBoth the G and the Nexus 4 have a sparkling, reflective back plate under the glass that catches the light, and your attention, when you hold it in a certain way. The handset shimmers, like electronic circuitry when the light bounces off this surface.

LG Optimus G E975 Review

It's been quite some time that the LG Optimus G has been available globally, but the device has just seen the light of day in India. We at Digit are really excited to see this device in action. Why? Well, to start with it boasts of some really impressive specifications for the Rs. 30,990 price point and secondly, the device was used as a reference design when LG made the Nexus 4. Does the LG Optimus G have the potential to put LG back on the top-end smartphone map, or are you better off sticking to the tried and tested? Read on to find out! At a first glance, the LG Optimus G has a very brick-like industrial design. It has sharp edges and is rectangular in shape. Put simply, the Optimus G is edgy! Not edgy as in it takes the design to a whole new level, but edgy as in it has sharp edges all over the place. The design of the Optimus G is very similar to the Nexus 4. The edge of the Nexus 4 has a smooth curved feeling to it, the Optimus G gives you the feeling that the edge of the display will cut your finger – like it hasn't been polished or smoothened and has just been crudely cut off. The rear of the smartphone, which is very reminiscent of the Nexus 4, also has this edgy feeling to it. It is safe to say that the Optimus G and the Nexus 4 look like siblings when kept next to each other.

LG Optimus G Android Smartphone Review

Although it's already flooded with a slew of excellent devices, the smartphone market has shown no signs of letting up. While Samsung and Apple are dominating the charts in terms of global hardware market share, Android's continued rise in the smartphone space has also been bolstered by devices from companies like HTC, Sony, and LG. In fact, LG was the company chosen to produce the most recently released Nexus-branded smartphone, the powerful Nexus 4. The Optimus G that we're reviewing here has a lot in common with the Nexus 4, and it's impossible to evaluate this handset without drawing direct comparisons to its Google branded sibling. Before we break down the specifics, let's look at the internals found in one of AT&T's most powerful smartphones yet. If you weren't aware, the Optimus G was the first commercially available smartphone to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 Pro SoC (APQ8064) paired with an LTE radio. That's a 1.5GHz quad-core chip, inside a smartphone. That's about as cutting edge as it gets right now, and when you consider the beefy 2GB of RAM and Adreno 320 GPU, it's pretty clear that the bar is set high.

LG Optimus G review: Double impact

With the dust barely settled after the Korean LG Optimus G's run around out review track, we have its LTE packing, US siblings on our hands. The LG Optimus G E970 for AT&T and its LS970 relative for Sprint are the two versions which are offered across the Atlantic. Thankfully, the wait for their arrival wasn't long at all - LG pulled off a launch which looked a lot like what Samsung did with the Galaxy SIII earlier this year. The LG Optimus G E970 and its LS970 relative are slightly different characters. The AT&T version comes with an 8MP camera and a microSD card slot. The Sprint-flavored Optimus G on the other hand, is practically identical to the Korean version, which we have reviewed already. This means that users will enjoy a larger, 13MP camera sensor, but will have to settle for 32GB on non-expandable memory. Most importantly however, both smartphones come with the headline grabbing Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset and two gigs of RAM, which means that, regardless which one they pick, potential users will get to enjoy the most powerful Android hardware around. Here goes the full list of talents which the US LG Optimus G duo has to offer.

LG Optimus G Review

Yes, the LG Optimus G is the first quad-core smartphone on Sprint's network, but that's not the only thing that's impressive about this device. LG has fitted the Optimus G with a beautiful 4.7-inch display, and loads of extra features and apps. Unlike the Optimus G on AT&T, Sprint's version also comes with 32GB of internal storage and a 13-megapixel camera. Does this $199 device have it all?Click to EnlargeIf you drew a plain rectangle with tight rounded corners, you would have just drawn the LG Optimus G. The Optimus G for Sprint is similar in shape to its sister LG Optimus G device on the AT&T network, but the Sprint version is the slimmer and sleeker of the two, measuring 5.2 x 2.7 x 0.3 inches compared with 5.15 x 2.82 x 0.33 inches for AT&T. The Sprint version is also slightly lighter than AT&T's, weighing 5.1 ounces compared with AT&T's 5.2 ounces.Click to EnlargeThe power/lock button is on the upper right side of the device and the volume buttons mirror this placement on the left. The top of the phone features a 3.5mm headphone jack and the bottom includes a microUSB charging port. The square-shaped camera protrudes from the Optimus G by about a millimeter. Below the camera, centered, is the LG logo in shiny silver lettering.

LG Optimus G Review

We review the Optimus G, LG's boldest attempt yet to gain attention as a leader in the smartphone space, but can the company's latest flagship phone match the growing competition?Since the introduction of its Android 4.0 lineup, LG seems to have turned a new leaf. For years, it has struggled to keep up with the phones and marketing muscle of the Apples and Samsungs of the world. Earlier this year, the Optimus 4X HD introduced LG's renewed focus on high-end handsets. The Optimus G is the company's first attempt at creating its own dominant flagship device that may develop the following of an iPhone 5 or a Galaxy S3. But is it worth the hype? We were lucky enough to try out a pre-production Optimus G some weeks back and finished units for a couple weeks now. Here's what we think. Before we ever turned on the Optimus G, the first thing that drew us in was LG's enhanced attention to detail. High-end LG smartphones are rarely ugly, but they're often unremarkable. Even the Optimus 4X HD failed to stand out among its competitors. To a degree, this problem still exists.

LG Optimus G (Sprint) review

The good ship LG has long navigated the world of electronics, making everything from televisions to air conditioners. Its strategy on the smartphone battlefield mainly had it providing reasonably priced handsets or more niche devices.On November 2 the LG Optimus G will arrive on American shores. A 4G capable phone, it has a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, Android 4.0: Ice Cream Sandwich, 32GB of storage, a high-resolution display and enough memory to choke a mid-range handset (a whopping 2GB, to be exact). Additionally, a prompt upgrade to Android 4.1: Jelly Bean awaits it in December.Sprint version on the left, ATT on the rightWhile the essential specs will remain the same, the two U.S. carriers for the LG Optimus G are getting slightly different models. AT&T's version has removable SIM and microSD support, and a slew of carrier apps, while Sprint's has a completely sealed design (no swapping SIMs or storage here) and a grandiose 13-megapixel camera. A tweaked bezel gives the two phones a marginally different appearance.This review will focus on the Optimus G for Sprint. We've tested both phones, for information on the other version, read our LG Optimus G (AT&T) review.

LG Optimus G review: Grand Slam

Designed to a flagship standard and powered by the latest in handheld computing, the Optimus G cannot hope for a warm welcome from rivals but is due every bit of their respect. LG is not asking for it - it's getting ready to earn it. Early on this season, LG was looked upon to put the missing piece in the Android quad-core puzzle. It delivered that alright with the Optimus 4X HD, but were far from done. Their Optimus G completes what's nothing short of a grand slam, and does so with a flourish. The Optimus G is the first phone to market globally with an S4 Pro chipset. Four Krait cores and next-gen Adreno 320 graphics are getting a scary snap out of Snapdragon. Kraits have better per-core performance and have demonstrated it in numerous benchmark tests. And having four of them in one place is a promise of a major speed boost. But there's more than sheer horsepower to a true flagship and LG have given the design, display and camera their best too. You can safely say the Optimus G has every piece of top-notch technology currently available. The 13MP camera is a first for LG and the screen boasts some impressive credentials as well.

LG Optimus G

The LG Optimus G ($199.99) has all the makings of a killer smartphone. From its 4.7-inch 720p display to its quad-core processor, this is definitely the fastest smartphone on AT&T, and one of the nicest looking, too. Its 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor turned in the fastest benchmarks we've ever seen on an Android phone—even faster than the model we tested on Sprint. And 4G LTE speeds on AT&T were positively smoking. Unfortunately, all that speed makes for some overheating issues, and camera performance is average at best. The Optimus G is a beast of a phone, but it isn't perfect. Design, Call Quality, and Network The Optimus G on AT&T looks a lot like it does on Sprint, which is a good thing. LG created the gorgeous Prada phone, so it's no surprise that the Optimus G is quite a looker. Made of high-quality plastic on the sides, with glass panels on the front and back, the phone has a vaguely incandescent pattern on the back that looks different depending on the angle you view it from. I miss the silver accent ring wrapped around the middle of the Sprint version, but the phone still pulls off simple-chic very well.

LG Optimus G review

LG has long been a player in the world of consumer electronics, making everything from televisions to air conditioners. Up until recently, its strategy in the smartphone world was to undercut the competition on price, with devices like the 4G-ready LG Spectrum, or niche devices like the stylish world phone the LG Prada. However, its LG's flagship line of Optimus phones have earned the attention of consumers and carriers worldwide, especially after the LG Optimus 4X HD, with its capable quad-core processor.Now LG, aka Lucky Goldstar, has unleashed the LG Optimus G. With a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, Android 4.0: Ice Cream Sandwich OS, 32 GB of storage, a high-resolution display and enough memory to choke a mid-range handset (a whopping 2GB, to be exact), it's built to take advantage of the high data speeds available on AT&T and Sprint's growing 4G networks.However, the two carrier versions of the LG Optimus G were not created equal. Not only do both phones come packed with carrier-specific apps (some useful, some irksome bloatware), the bodies of the two phones are physically different, and the Sprint handset sports a 13-megapixel camera, while the AT&T model has a more standard 8-megapixel.

LG Optimus G review

In the Android world right now, all eyes are on LG. After years of sub-par products, the company has found relevance again with the Optimus G, garnering serious attention from US carriers and consumers alike. Available on both Sprint and AT&T in the US, the Optimus G is intriguing for another reason: it's widely rumored to be the basis for the next Nexus device from Google. The Optimus G represents LG's best effort to leave its midrange identity behind once and for all, with flagship specs and build quality that's better than anything the company has ever produced. The competition is fierce, however, with Samsung's Galaxy S III the reigning champ and even HTC's One X+ breathing some new life into that company's flagging prospects. Has the Optimus G finally helped LG break into the big leagues in the US, or should the company be kicked back down to the minors for another year? Read on for our full review. Hardware / design The LG Optimus G is a "black slab" in every important sense of the term. Although the dimensions vary slightly between AT&T's and Sprint's versions, both are centered around a 4.7-inch screen that's ever-so-slightly shorter and wider than what you will find on either the One X or the Galaxy S III.

The Optimus G isn't just the first phone on AT&T to feature a quad-core processor. It's also LG's first legitimate competitor against the Samsung Galaxy S III, the iPhone 5 and other premium smartphones. LG additionally packs this 4.7-inch device with a slew of innovative features focused on performing a number of tasks simultaneously.

LG Optimus G

I really wanted to love the LG Optimus G (available starting November 11 for $199.99). Everything about it, from the quad-core processor to the 13-megapixel camera to the sleek design, pretty much screams Editors' Choice. But this is an unfortunate example in which the whole is not greater than the sum of its parts. On the plus side, the Optimus G's quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor turned in the fastest benchmarks scores we've ever seen on an Android phone. But the 13-megapixel camera doesn't live up to its lofty resolution rating, the phone has a tendency to run hot, and the lack of a microSD slot limits your storage options. If you want the ultimate in pure processing power, it's worth your attention, but if you want the best smartphone on Sprint, I'm afraid this isn't quite it. Design, Call Quality, and Network LG created the gorgeous Prada phone, so it's no surprise that the Optimus G is quite a looker.

LG Optimus G Review

Introduction:Try as hard as they can, but LG has been unable to make some movement in the always-competitive high-end market – to no surprise of course, they've been in an endless rut of some kind. In the past, we've seen devices like the LG Optimus 2X, Optimus 4X HD, and Prada 3.0, which on paper seemed like respectable offerings, but lacked the X-factor to truly keep them in good company with some of the more notable and grand smartphones out there. Rather than coming to market with a device that's just catching up to the competition, the Korean based company is forging ahead by making some waves in bringing to market the world's first smartphone to feature a quad-core processor and 4G LTE connectivity – the LG Optimus G.Needless to say, it's the marriage we've been patiently waiting for since quad-core smartphones started making waves earlier this year. Aiming to becoming its flagship for the foreseeable future, the LG Optimus G will soon grace the lineups of AT&T and Sprint respectively – albeit, there are some differences between the two models.

LG Optimus G review

We're not big fans of superlatives, but for LG's flagship phone of the season, we'll make an exception. Sprint's LG Optimus G is the best phone from the company, which is saying a lot considering its string of ho-hum handsets that were good but not great. Like its AT&T counterpart, Sprint's version still retains that powerful Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core CPU, has an impressive display, and NFC capabilities. In addition, while we don't get 4G LTE data connection in our San Francisco area, the device itself is 4G LTE-enabled. But what sets this model apart is its 13-megapixel camera. Since both devices cost $199.99, the boost in megapixels comes at no extra cost, meriting a higher score from us compared to AT&T's 8-megapixel unit. Though, even with the improved camera, it's important to keep in mind that when comparing it with other flagship phones, we still have the same reservations with this unit as the other Optimus G. Namely, its design is uninspiring and it has poor speaker quality. Due to their similarities, sections of this review have been taken from our review of AT&T's LG Optimus G.

AT&T LG Optimus G Review

With the LG Optimus G, this OEM brings on its most powerful device by a long shot, with Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor inside and a 4.7-inch TrueHD IPS+ LCD display up front, this running on AT&T's 4G LTE network here in the USA. What we're seeing here is a device that's ever so slightly confused in its identity - with more power than it knows what to do with in a device that looks and feels fabulous, but is just a bit bigger and more slippery than a normal-sized human being will be comfortable holding. Perhaps this combination of looks and processing power are enough to convince us that LG has suddenly become as much of a top-tier contender in the USA as Samsung and Apple? The LG Optimus G's display resolution of 768 x 1280 pixels across 4.7-inches of real-estate rings in at 317.6 PPI, right between the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the iPhone 5 for pixel density. The iPhone 5 (also the 4/4S, being that they're all the same) works with 326 PPI, and the Galaxy Nexus is literally the next densest display-toting smartphone in the world on the grand chart of them all at 316 PPI.

LG Optimus G review

For the last several years, LG has struggled to create a compelling, high-quality phones that outsell competing models. With the Optimus G, LG aims higher than ever before...and mostly nails it. With its large, bright, and beautiful display; Android 4.0; LTE speeds; and Qualcomm's first, very fast, very impressive quad-core processor, AT&T's version of the Optimus G is one of LG's best-ever phones. Yet even though LG reaches for the top, the Optimus G still fails to offer anything truly innovative or wowing, apart from the chipset. The Optimus G's design is pleasant and functional, but uninspired; its 8-megapixel camera is weaker than that of the top-tier competition, and its battery life can't meet the phone's bright screen and performance demands. (Sprint's Optimus G version is arguably the better device, thanks to its crisper 13-megapixel camera.) There's very little that's actually wrong with the device, but even with the bulging processing muscle, the Optimus G won't sweep aside the Samsung Galaxy S3 or iPhone 5, and we expect the forthcoming HTC One X+ and Nokia Lumia 920 to put on the pressure.

LG Optimus G hands-on: First look (Preview)

LG just launched its monstrously-spec'd Optimus G in its home market and it set a new performance benchmark for smartphones. The Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset that powers the beast features four Krait cores, which are all but guaranteed to wipe the floor with existing CPUs. The LG Optimus G also impresses with its spectacular 4.7" WXGA (1280 x 768 pixels) True HD IPS Plus screen, which offers a full RGB matrix and a pixel density of about 318ppi. Knowing how good previous True HD screens from LG were, we just couldn't wait to see this new one in person. Fortunately we were invited to the LG Optimus G launch event, so we didn't have to wait too long really. We got to spend some quality time with the company's new flagship and we are ready to share our impressions with you. But before we start let's have a quick look at the full list of Optimus G highlights. As you can see there's hardly any smartphone on the market that can stand up to the LG Optimus G in a spec-to-spec battle. The Snapdragon S4 chipsets with two Krait cores were already able to keep up with their quad-core Cortex-A9 competitors, but the Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset matches the Tegra 3s and Exynos 4 Quads in terms of core count and should make easy work of any challengers. But the LG Optimus G is not all about acing benchmarks and providing the smoothest UI navigation possible.

Hands on: LG Optimus G (Preview)

The LG Optimus G has arrived, and comes complete with a whole new level of smartphone technology.It's another evolution for the Korean brand, with the new handset the second quad core option the firm has released. However, it's the first to use Qualcomm's S4 Pro chip, which will bring an LTE-ready quad core handset to the masses for the first time.When you pick up the Optimus G, you can tell it's a handset that's worthy of being dubbed a flagship by LG. There's a real weight to it (well, only 145g, but it's much heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S3) but that adds to the premium feel rather than feeling overly heavy.The design language is impressive, if a little bland. The plastic casing feels a little slippery in the hand, and while the white casing with silver inlets looks impressive, the front of the phone is still the faceless black slab we've come to expect from most handsets these days.It's not LG's fault, as there's only so much you can do to innovate on the design front, but with the Optimus G its definitely decided that minimalism is best, with a silhouette that mimics the iPhone 4S.The layout of the buttons is familiar too, as it mirrors the Galaxy S3 almost perfectly in terms of button placement.

LG Optimus G (Preview)

LG is looking to score big with its next flagship phone, the LG Optimus G, which it said will be the "world's first" LTE device with a quad-core CPU. It'll also posses a whopping 13-megapixel camera and a 4.7-inch HD display. Though the device hasn't been made available yet, judging by its specs and LG's recent devices, it has plenty of superphone potential. The LG Optimus G measures 5.19 inches tall, 2.71 inches wide, and 0.33 inch thick, making it slightly wider and thinner than the Optimus 4X HD (which measures 5.19 inches by 2.69 inches by 0.38 inch). Because of the screen's new Touch Hybrid Display technology, the Optimus G's display is also thinner than those currently on the market. The phone weighs 5.11 ounces, making it a bit lighter than the 4X HD as well, but the height remains the same. In other words, tall. It won't be able to fit in front or back jean pockets, nor will it be easy to use with one hand, but it's thin and light enough to throw in a clutch or small bag without much fuss. LG said that the handset's back is made of "premium glass," which could perhaps lend a more luxurious feel to the phone.
