LG Optimus G Review

We were at the LG Optimus G launch in Korea on September 17, where we were able to briefly play with it. The Optimus G is the first smartphone to launch with the Quad-Core SnapDragon S4 Pro processor, so it [...]

It is also a winner on the performance side, keep in mind that its quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro SoC (vs dual-core Snapdragon S4 for the Samsung Galaxy S3) with its faster GPU (adreno 320 vs. Adreno 225 for the S3) produce better results across...

LG Optimus G

Since the introduction of its Android 4.0 lineup, LG seems to have turned a new leaf. For years, it has struggled to keep up with the phones and marketing muscle of the Apples and Samsungs of the world. Earlier this year, the Optimus 4X HD introduced...

Fantastic processing power ; Beautiful screen ; 13-megapixel camera ; Beautiful hardware design

Unoriginal UI ; AT&T version has only 8MP camera ; AT&T version not as refined ; Camera has trouble in darker areas

The Optimus G is an incredibly powerful phone and one of the best devices to come out in 2012, but its user interface is still more forgettable than it is fresh.

LG Optimus G review (AT&T and Sprint)

In the Android world right now, all eyes are on LG. After years of sub-par products, the company has found relevance again with the Optimus G, garnering serious attention from US carriers and consumers alike. Available on both Sprint and AT&T in the...

Great IPS display ; Thin, elegant design ; Very fast processor

Too many extra AT&T apps ; Difficult to learn software ; Finicky camera

A legitimate flagship smartphone

LG Optimus G quick review: New smartphone offers great business features

A fast quad-core processor and brilliant display are bolstered by powerful productivity additions.

But while speed and a great display are standouts, what makes the G in Optimus G stand for gold -- at least, for me -- are features such as the Dual Screen Dual Play capability, which allows mirroring of an image onscreen with a TV or monitor. Dual...

LG Optimus G

The LG Optimus G is a powerful device with a beautiful display. If you plan on playing a lot of games or watching a lot of movies, this phone will handle anything you throw at it and, thanks to QSlide, will let you do multiple things at once. The phone...

The quad-core, 1.5GHz processor and HD display make this phone great for watching videos and playing games

Despite its 4G connectivity, the phone's download speeds and connections are slower and less reliable than other phones

For long commutes or to kill boredom, the LG Optimus G will be a great companion with its standard processing power.
