Samsung Galaxy R vs. LG Optimus 2X: Affordable dual-cores

1 February 2012
Yep, you read that right. Affordable and dual core wouldn't normally belong in the same sentence. In 2011. And you don't need to press fast forward. Just sit back and enjoy. There's a lot stewing in the industry's pot and we think the place smells of quad core already...

        LG atlast earned something in this quarter. So LG should release ICS for optimus series as soon as possible in order to win hearts of its loyal customers. otherwise LG knows its brand value very well

            Here in singapore Galaxy R retails for $248 with $39/month contract(cheapest 12gb dataplan)
            while optimus 2x is only $48 with the same contract.

            Rocking my optimus 2x with MIUI :)

              Wrong way of comparing photo capabilities in this test - if you know anything about digital photography you know that upscale of ANY 5 mpix photo to 8 mpix photo by any software will reduce quality and also errors can by introduced by software so that will be unfair comparation with native 8 mpix photo. Just chose on 8 mpix phone lover res setting when shooting (5 mpix) and compare those photos. Even other way around - down scale 8 mpix photo to 5 mpix and than compare is more fair...

                  Took galaxy r 10 days before.... quite happy with it for 21000/- rupee price tag in India.... Optimus 2X is not available in many places... and even 1GB ram really matters for noobs..... not techies.......

                  I am luving my SGR..... Cool.....

                  And Galaxy R might not be available after few days... heard that Samsung has stopped its manufacturing..... Not sure though.....

                      In Serbia, it's not so big difference in price between this two phones - LG 330 euros vs Samsung 370 euros. For me one of the main specs when i'm buying phone is camera, so, by my opinion winner is Optimus 2X. And yeah, thank you GSMArena for comparing these two phones, this was very helpfull!

                          But Optimus 2X is MUCH cheaper than Galaxy R. So LG wins!
