LG Optimus G hands-on: First look

18 September 2012
LG just launched its monstrously-spec'd Optimus G in its homeland and 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...

AnonD-252, 19 Sep 2012Liar!Are you in kindergarden?:))
Navigon's first three coments(set language on English UK):
"Florianbrenn - 29 August 2012 - Samsung Galaxy S2 with version 4.5Not working anymore
App crashes every time withing 5 secs of clicking the icon on my Galaxy S2. Very frustrating since it was rather expensive. I would recommend that people stay far away from this one
Eric - 23 August 2012 - Samsung Galaxy S with version 4.5Does not function anymore
Was working fine till aboutc a week ago. Tried uninstall install without success.

Christopher - 12 September 2012 - HTC One X with version 4.5Updates!
This app got me from London to the Ukraine border with no problems at all, well worth the money. However, since last update, fails to fix its position!"

                Hey guys,
                What happens to google play? Almost every free app has comments that it installs malwar and random URL-s on your screen and many apps do not work properly(see the 60€ Navigon Europe).

                        still the benchmarks r not that great than expected... i'll go wid dual kraits rather than thz quad krait since there is a slight variation in benchmarks, not huge...

                            Unfortunately-as always you get a very late OS update with LG

                              LG makes a 5" 1080p screen. so it's a pitty that the optimus G doesn't have it.

                              the optimus G is LG's flagship device in the near future, so it seems LG won't make a smartphone with this 5" 1080p screen soon.

                              some people say that 1080p is not needed at 5". but i think that it is a big advatage because 1080p is the standard that all screens and all content aspire and converge to. so it's ideal to have the ideal resolution!

                                  No doubt an excellent device and quick for the gamers. For me I am really interested in the intel chip devices and full WP8. I feel that in 6 months time these devices will capture a substantial market share and leave Android behind. I would rather wait. It seems these will be a great leap over Android in terms of real full integration with MS office etc.
