We found the quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro to run a bit cooler than the dual-core Snapdragon S4 overall. More details in the official comment thread on the full review (linked in description).
Yes indeed; Gorilla Glass 2 front and back. As for heat - it got a little warm at points of extreme load, but always ran cooler than devices we've tested that use the dual-core S4.
It can't be understated how much I enjoy your reviews. You are bar none my favorite reviewer out there. You provide the right mix of spec comparison and real world comparisons. I could hear that this phone got 7,300 on Quadrant and 2,500 on Geekbench but without talking about how the device performs in the real world that stuff is mostly useless. You sir should be proud of yourself. Kudos, and thank you for your hard work. Everyone appreciates it. Sincerely, Normal people everywhere.
You are actually the best one who reviewed this phone so far. You know how thing thing works. And you know what you are doing. And there isn't any bias at all. Great job.
Wow, nice job, LG. I was debating between the SGSIII and the HTC One X for ATT, but it looks like I'm going to have to add the Optimus G to the list. I preferred the One X hardware but also liked SGSIII fluidity. It seems like the Optimus G has both.
best review on u tube, well done. First objective report on the software. People have blasted it without even acknowledging the positives, and there are many... couple things - did you have any overheating issues? are you sure it is gorilla glass on the back, too?
I have the international version E975 (4.4.2 now) and the speakers are actually good and loud. The video quality of the camera is fluid, but still kinda grainy on still photos.
I wish reviewers would also test audio output thru a set of headphones in reviews. This is an important part of a phone, it's the reason I went back to a one x from a galaxy s3.
Continue for that i mean... keep the blooper stuff... btw awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee review hope u to review the Nexus 4 when it comes out ur the best bro!
i see it on amazon unlocked for $210 so this and the moto g are head to head competitors this phone trumps the moto g in everything except software if you want you could put cyanogenmod on this lg to get a stock android like experience
Still running this beast with a 4.4.2 rom... even speedier then in this review for sure! hopefully AT&T releases an official kitkat update this summer :\
What do you mean? Yeah, it is one hell of a phone and a pretty good adversay to the Galaxy SIII. But my concern here is the support. Is LG pretty good when it comes to software updates and support? Or are they as bad as Motorola?
I like the emblem on my optimus g. I would definitely buy a case with that part cut out so I could show it off kinda like how letterbox does with there iphone
Thank you so much for this nice video!For me OptimusG is the most beatiful device on 2012 but i do own optimus 2x and not so happy with it bicause LG not update that thing after buggy gingerbread!

Wouldn't be possible without the whole team. Thanks very much on behalf of all of us!

I miss that phone a while ago before I got the G Pro never get a chance to keep it for a long time since my lost on the MyTouch LG
still better looking than their newer phones

I've gotta say, the "bookmark" link things in the upper left hand corner of the video are the best thing ever.
the blooper at the end was awesome, do that on all videos
It sure is.
looks great I hope the nexus has a louder speaker , love your reviews please review the lg nexus when it comes out your presentations are the best
Played with this in the store, crazy smooth! Mental!
best review on u tube, well done. First objective report on the software. People have blasted it without even acknowledging the positives, and there are many...
couple things -
did you have any overheating issues?
are you sure it is gorilla glass on the back, too?
Probably the best guy to review phones on UA-cam
the volume problem can be fixed with Volume+ and tweaking the EQ settings
zero-gap touch means that if i brake/scratch the glass it will no longer work(that area)
How do you use the picture in picture feature with youtube?
Is the audio REALLY tinny and bad?? I am now wondering if I've made a mistake by ordering this one...I had GS III before..
I have the international version E975 (4.4.2 now) and the speakers are actually good and loud. The video quality of the camera is fluid, but still kinda grainy on still photos.
I'm still waiting for the lumia 920, I'm looking forward to your review on that phone
wow. by far thee best reviewer i have ever watched.
Does it support mmwave 5G as well as sub 6GHZ 5G? If so, I am buying one on ebay for just $650.00.
Awesome review! Are there any other colors that this phone comes in?
I've just realised that you had a role in "A Haunting" Am i right?
Nice review btw :D
Looking to see how heavily the nexus 4 was based on this phone so I know what to expect from the nexus 5
How is the speaker of this??
Are the AT&T apps removable?
I wish reviewers would also test audio output thru a set of headphones in reviews. This is an important part of a phone, it's the reason I went back to a one x from a galaxy s3.
would you choose is over the Galaxy S3 or iphone 5?
Continue for that i mean... keep the blooper stuff... btw awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee review hope u to review the Nexus 4 when it comes out ur the best bro!
will nexus 4 get lte later or is this the best
I can't believe I forgot about the Nexus 4! lol You're right. This + Vanilla + guarantee updates + $400 off contract = pure heaven
you can get a beta version of the next release from the developers website
Best review ever, Brandon, give this guy a raise
Great review best i have seen so far on this phone
This or the moto g, can anyone give me some advice.
i see it on amazon unlocked for $210
so this and the moto g are head to head competitors
this phone trumps the moto g in everything except software
if you want you could put cyanogenmod on this lg to get a stock android like experience
this or gs3? cant decide.
Hows the sound.....wimpy?
upgrading next month and I am torn between this phone and the galaxy s3. tech geeks, i require guidance!
im trying to decide between the optimus g and the galaxy s3, can somebody help me out? also, are there any rumors of when the s4 is coming out?
You're an awesome reviewer. Thanks for the video
where is the samsung galaxy express review?
Still running this beast with a 4.4.2 rom... even speedier then in this review for sure! hopefully AT&T releases an official kitkat update this summer :\
says there is no micro sd for this
What do you mean? Yeah, it is one hell of a phone and a pretty good adversay to the Galaxy SIII. But my concern here is the support. Is LG pretty good when it comes to software updates and support? Or are they as bad as Motorola?
can't wait to get mine in March
these days back then when lg had very speedy fluid and stable software but not the same story for the g3 but i hope it is for the g4
Don't you want to wait for the Nexus 4. Almost same hardware specs as the Optimus G but with Android 4.2
I like the emblem on my optimus g. I would definitely buy a case with that part cut out so I could show it off kinda like how letterbox does with there iphone
what the..., the standard version G is not support SD card, this AT&T LG G so that support upto 64GB SD card. Amazing phone, amazing video review
Compare it to the One X+ and Note 2
Hmmm doesn't a micro SD offers just 32GB max ?
very very nice review, and wow - iam really impressed with the device. although im gonna get the LG Nexus anyway.. But nontheless great smartphone
Excellent review !!
This was so helpful!! Thank you!
good point never really thought about it like that
At the end of the day is it better than the gs3 no review clearly answers that
thnx for the great review man..
after the buzz??
can jelly bean be installed? how does this compare with the Nexus 4 LG model. both are glass.
8?
great review, thankyou
Depends do u want android or windows phone.This phone has much better specs but lumia has good specs too
If the Nexus only comes in the 8 and 16 GB variants, I might just pick up this and run CM instead.
Xavi?
it comes in white I believe. I'm not 100% sure.
LG Nexus 4. Wait for October 29th :)
my s3 isn't fluid at all....never knew why people thought so....i guess if you haven't had something smoother you won't miss it
Thank you so much for this nice video!For me OptimusG is the most beatiful device on 2012 but i do own optimus 2x and not so happy with it bicause LG not update that thing after buggy gingerbread!
It will not get CM until we get unlocked/unlockable bootloader on it...
LG has stepped it up, and this phone is worthy contenders.
Android fans have even more choices to choose from now
It doesn't even need jelly bean that badly. Look at how responsive the device is.
ITS YEAR FOR LG PHONES. WHAT ABOUT THE LG NEXUS 4?
This has better specs but gs3 has very good specs too.Try them somewhere
2/T Is For Titan
0/O Is For Orange
1/O Is For One
9/N Is For Now
?
But The Numbers Together
Anybody?
he sounds like Seth McFarlane...especially when he talks about how luxurious the phone feels...it's like Brian Griffin is reviewing the Opimus G
Has Micro Sd
no prob I'm gonna get one myself
LG about to step up with Samsung. I don't know what Moto and HTC are doing.
This probably THE phone i would recommend to any of my friends, other than just Apple's and Samsung's :)
I like it! Looks nice
The only downfall is the drop in the camera.
masterclass review....its awsummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ....luved it....and ws gonna go fr htc j butterfly bt dis is phone at d same awsum level......
please do the next nexus review.
thanx for the reply!
Go to the Internet browser from lg and go to youtube and play a video
Going for the Johnny bravo hair I see
BTW. The speaker sounds good. :/
Should be a news reporter Lol good review though!
Well now I'm not dreading the Nexus 4
I'm getting the option of the Samsung galaxy s4 or the lg optimus g. Lg all the way
low speaker is a deal breaker for me
I think that samsung is going to make gnexus 2
Can't wait for LG Nexus
This phone is legit. Best phone I've owned ever.
Im getting it tomorrow ^^
Tony Stark does phone reviews?
Thank you toney stark
I own this phone, it is almost perfect!
