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...

everyone buy now this for 500 euros and even it can run windows 8 rt,it will always be the same stationary lg old android product with probably incoming bugs,I was fooled with 2X,LG IS THE BIGEST TROLL and worst software supporter now while they make many kinds of hardware

      2x, 02 Jul 2012So you are basically saying that the One X camera is crap t... morehtc one s and one x have very good low-light sensitivity,better than sgs3 and iphone 4s,but even if the photo scene is filled with more light in the dark, the definition of fine details in the background like trees are under the quality of sgs3 and iphone 4s. night scenes are darker but better as defintion at iphone 4s and sgs 3. i have done exactly this test in parallel with: sgs3,iphone 4s,htc one s and x. htc have better hardware than lg: audio output is strong through headphones thanks to beats audio, the unibody monolith design is superb, speaker super fine grills are state of the art. the speaker,the earpiece,the gsm signal,all are above compared with lg 4x. iphone 4s is one of the best performers i have ever seen until now from all points of view:camera,video bitrate,touch focus speed,signal,music power and fidelity through headphones and loudspeaker. and its small screen is easy to swype and to make calls and make money :))

        LG actually make a good phone (on spec sheet) and the build quality are good too, not breaking or scaterring on one drop. but what i cant stand is, the update cycle and the locked bootloader -,- CMON LG YOU CAN DO BETTER ! release your phone with unlocked bootloader, and give the source code to the developwer immidietly after you release the phone!

          So why don't you say that HTC also has crappy cameras?

Parts will take time if your mobile is old or discontinued. Even Your iPhone also not get replaced after one year. No one is 100% perfect in service. How you judging quality of product with service issues. You are saying all companies are good except LG......No one Believe... so take a Chill and dont use bad words against any Brand. Bcoz there is so many R&D and Hard work behind every product so dont judge by sitting on chair.
