LG Optimus G review: Grand Slam

22 October 2012
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...

    I had 32GB internal plus cardslot on my phone in 2009, so how anyone could want a phone without a cardslot now when its almost 2013 beats me. They must have very modest requirements to a cellphone, and if they have modest requirements why would they demand quadcore krait and 2GB RAM and whatever?

        neb, 23 Oct 2012no micro SD slot! No replaceable battery! Bad reputation up... moreThe sd slot is a showstopper, for sure.

        And wheres the performance domination? It humiliates note II in linpack, and how many times a day does the user play linpack? None. But webbrowsing, we do it all the time,and here LGOG comes out at bottom.

        Theres nothing spectacular about this overpriced phone running an old android version. Linpack does not matter. Theres no reason to wait any longer, go out and buy Note II already, best battery jellybean and cardslot.

                lg has recently slashed the price for 4x hd in India
                from 32000 to 26000
                perhaps this might come to India after all

                still I wonder where this shall leave the 4xhd

                  So the camera of the phone is hardly better than other phone's camera. It's a shame, because LG said the phone has the best camera! :P

                        the_seba, 23 Oct 2012It seems to me LG got infected with an STD a long time ago ... moreThats another problem then,,i stopped buying LG because of software bugs,no updates that were promised,and so on but no-one here in UK buys LG..They cant get their phones right then they dont update yet promise they will...It sort of proves this because their flagship optimus G should launch with Jellybean...

                        Now they promise an upgrade at some point,,,yeah right heard it all before..

                              It seems to me LG got infected with an STD a long time ago and hasn't bothered to go and get that checked out. This STD is the crap battery syndrome. Another great looking phone with excellent performance and a few useful tricks up it's sleeve, but... garbage battery life. Dammit LG, would you pleas stop with that BS already?! This is the reason I'll never get an LG phone, not unless they fix this troubling issue and fix it for good.

                                  why don't GSMArena ever compare with Asus products, padfone 2 is also a snapdragon qualcomm product, same chip and much more likely to give a fight to Optimus G

                                    mouthwatering specs..
                                    love the Full HD screen, bigger ram, s4 procc & brand new gpu.

                                    unfortunately, 2100 mah unremovable battery & no microsd in a big NO for me. Coupled with no JB out of box.

                                    shall wait & see what Sony & HTC are going to release before committing to Note2.
