We just got word today that the official launching of the LG Optimus G is set this March. The Optimus G is the fraternal twin of the Nexus 4 but with a few improvements, like a microSD expansion and LTE connectivity.
And speaking of LTE, I am also told that Smart will support the Optimus G in their LTE network.

LG’s QSlide function (read about it here) is one of the most intuitive multi-tasking feature we’ve seen on a smartphone and LG stressed this was made as smooth as possible because of the Snapdragon S4 Pro.
In any case, we’re hoping to aget a hold of a unit soon. We still don’t have any idea on the suggested retail price but we’re hoping it will be under Php25k since the Nexus 4 retailed for only Php24,990.
is this true? 32GB internal storage plus up to 64GB external?
i have the LG Optimus G e970. but mine is network-locked to AT&T. please help, i want to unlock it so that i can use it either with SMARt or GLobe networks.
Are other accesories available already here in the phil? is it safe if i go to mobile cybershops in megamal to unlock it?

Walang micro sd slot to. .
Sobrang bagal ng updates from LG na halos wala ka ng maasahal kundi magroot. Good phone but for the support from LG? NO THANKS!
Sony Xperia Z > LG Optimus G, in my opinion…
pero kung mura ang LG, baka mas bumenta siya..
so far, for 2013, Sony Xperia Z is the best smartphone.
THERE ARE TWO BEST AWAITED SMARTPHONES FOR THE Q1 OF YEAR 2013.
GUESS? WHAT ARE THEY?
ITS SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 VS. LG OPTIMUS G PRO.
SURPRISE?
XPERIA Z IS NOTHING COMPARE TO G PRO . OR S4.
XPERIA Z HAS VERY BAD CMERA SEE PHONE ARENA REVIEW…
LG optimus G? malapit na i release ang LG optimus G pro while kakarating pa lang ng optimus G sa pinas :(
sa JAPAN at KOREA muna ang G PRO. baka mga 2-3 months pa dating sa atin.
this is a killer. pag competitive ang price n2 yari cla.
What? ICS pa lang? Goodluck sa upgrade knowing LG tamad sa upgrade yan
Nope, it comes with JB.
10280p is insane
