                      I'm worrying the price of this phone. This is quoted @900$. is that price reasonable for this beast? i'm gonna wait for more user experiences before deciding

                          those benchmarks are very impressive, but in the video, I see lag...and lots of it. I own an S3, and yes, it lags at times, but overall it's UI performance and feel is a step above this one. LG, work on improving the UI and experience; dumping a massively powerful and advanced SoC ain't going to sell millions.

                                    Congrats LG. You managed to wow me, for real this time. Now just don't let me down with software support and after sales service. This phone is freakin' amazing.
