LG Optimus 4X HD P880 review: Firing on all fours

29 June 2012
Last year LG was in pole position in the dual-core game with the Optimus 2X. It was the phone everyone looked up to, before there was a Galaxy S II and before there was an HTC Sensation. There was obviously no rush this time although, to be fair, LG did announce well on time...

          This phone is a giant in terms of its quad core and battery. The extra unlocked core in the processor is obviously good. But the best thing I liked about it is the UI which is on par with Sense.

            AnonD-57053, 04 Jul 2012You guys want to convince yourself that your purchased is t... moreWell said. I totally agree with you. Samsung are for girls and HTC one X are for boys. I just sold my HTC one X and bought a LG optimus 4x. Trust me, its a great device. Brilliant screen, never hangs, never heats up badly(HTC was an iron box). It feels solid and smooth. Finally LG has come with a great device. grow up. Get rid of iPhone and Samsung and try something new for once. You will never regret buying this phone.

              LG Optimus 4X HD has its own name and design that can be boast of. It's not a Samsung Galaxy S III or HTC One X, but it runs quad core. Definitely, the design is also good. You can check this video:

              If you want a cheaper smartphone with quad-core running processor, definitely, LG Optimus 4X HD is a good choice.

                      I haven't had a LG Smartphone before but I was considering a Optimus 2x as a well priced (@ 250 Euro)mid range dualcore phone because it has Nvidia Tegra 2 and GeForce ULP. After doing some research on the phone I noticed too many people were complaining about poorly developed and bugy user interface/software and the phone freezing up too often. Many 2x users are also seriously unhappy with LG seeing as they said it would support a Android 4 ICS update and then they later falsely claimed the phone has a too weak architecture to support it and they will not be releasing an update (LG Mobile's facebook page is bombarded by unhappy Optimus 2x users as a result of this). Obiviously this is the Optimus 4x you are considering if you are reading this and it is not the 2x, but if I were you I would stay away from LG smartphones seeing as it seems LG are not very good at developing smartphone user interfaces/software and they make promises they can't keep which is very bad business practice. You money would be better spent elsewhere in my opinion.

                          Hi, I haven't read the review in full. But, I just wanted to add as a current LG O2X customer, that LG are a company to avoid. Great hardware is useless without great software. But please make up your own minds. Just bear in mind that LG have a poor track record when it comes to updating software.

                                  With the Economy now, these tablets sholud only cost $199 max. Imagine these company profit making like Apple, Google, Exxon contribute to the economy instead of taxing consumers or working class people, we will be back to our Grade GREAT rating. WE THE CONSUMER ARE THE ONE WHO'S HELPING THE ECONOMY, so keep the price low.
