LG launches Optimus G

It’s $900.

This is one gorgeous and powerful phone. I want to marry it.

Nice specs.. But LG is infamous for non-existent OS updates/upgrades.. Hmm~~

How I wish the iPhone 5’s specs are like this. HAHAHA kidding

iPhone 6, perhaps. LOL

$314

Xiaomi Mi2

it makes me laugh LG is promoting the “diamond” effect on the back… yeah because we buy phones just to look at the back of it

i want to see the real thing before i say something… di lang naman power hanap ko…. aesthetics at ang UI syempre factor din… compare side by side against other phones… say Galaxy note 2… :) iphone5 is out of the question….

THE REAL SOCKING !
came when we run the Linpack benchmark, which is designed to make use of multi-core CPUs. The Optimus G came so far ahead of its competitors here, that it’s almost hard to believe. It offered nearly three times the performance of the second-best quad-core smartphone we’ve tested on this occasion.

Higher is better

LG Optimus G 608
Meizu MX 4-core 189.1
Samsung Galaxy S III 177.1
HTC One X (Tegra 3) 160.9
LG Optimus 4X HD 141.5

GPU benchmarks brought more of the same, the LG Optimus G and its Adreno 320 GPU making easy work of the competition. The GLBenchmark 720p offscreen test shows that the raw performance of the Optimus G graphics are way better than that of its high-end rivals.

Optimus G.
offers something new :
LG is talking up the phone’s ability to ‘cross-task’, which it says goes beyond multi-tasking, and it includes a range of features which showcase this:

• QSlide Function shows two different screens simultaneously on one display. As it doesn’t just show a part of the screen but the entire screen of both functions, the user can complete two tasks concurrently -– such as sending a text message or searching the web while watching a video;

• Live Zooming enhances the video-watching experience as users can zoom in up to five times while the video is being streamed for a close-up of one’s child while watching a recorded video from a school recital;

• Dual Screen Dual Play not only allows mirroring between the smartphone and a TV, it also has the ability to display different content on each screen wirelessly. For example, a slide presentation can be displayed on the TV while the Optimus G shows the accompanying speaking notes;

• QuickMemo allows users to write, draw, or jot a memo with their finger directly on the captured screen for sharing instantly with others as an attachment or a URL. The QuickMemo can also be used as an overlay feature — like jotting down a number using the QuickMemo and directly dialing the number while the number is on the top layer;

• Screen Zooming allows for the zooming in and out of lists in music player, email, text messages and photo gallery. It also offers the ability to change the font size and screen layout;

• Application Link launches preset applications (email, calendar, weather, etc.) when the alarm is turned off -– making preparation time in the morning go a little faster with all the information on your screen;

• Icon Personalizer allows users the ability to customize icons by editing size and adding images so the most frequently used apps can be most easily accessible.

LG Phones are good, nough said
LG OS Updates = ASA!!!!

OMG! tinalo ng Optimus G. ang SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 na JELLY BEANS!

lalo na kakain ng dusts ang s3 pag na update ang G. sa jelly beans?

good job LG!

Hope it gets a Jellybean OS :)

mas maganda nga ang xiaomi MI-2 kesa sa lg kasi same specs, but its only 300usd while optimus g is 600usd, tapos jelly bean pa ang xiaomi MI-2. techie rin ako and i know that this phone would be a better choice, pero in terms of new features, cguro lamang ang lg, lalo na sa qslide function, pwede manood ng vids habang nagtttxt, downside ng lg, software update, tska overpriced, kaya for me kung gusto mo ng same specs pero half the price mag xxiaomi MI-2 na lang ako.
