LG Optimus G Review

E975 (E975)     See other variants reviews Score: 67.2 / 100

LG Optimus G is a great phone launched in August 2012, equipped with a medium 4.7-inches multi touch screen, a great 1500 megahertz Quad-Core processor, and 2 cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 1.3 megapixels front facing camera. We will get a better idea about this phone's wonders when we get into deeper details.

LG is offering this device in 2 colors: black and white. LG didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 5.11 ounces phone. Being just 0.33 inches thick,the LG Optimus G is extremely thin and stilized. Although this cellphone is only 5.19" long and 2.71" wide, it is still able to fit a a 4.7" display.

This device has a great 1280 x 768 4.7" display, which makes all images and videos look absolutely great. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

LG decided to design the LG Optimus G using a great 1500 MHz Quad-Core processor, bundled in a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 system chip and a big 2 GB of RAM. Graphic rendering often uses lots of CPU time, so the LG Optimus G counts with an extra 400 MHz Adreno 320 graphics processing unit to unload the CPU. The LG Optimus G comes with a 32 GB amazing internal memory and an SD card slot, which allows the user to store lots of apps, games, songs, photos and videos without even thinking about how much storage is left.

The LG Optimus G provides Wi-Fi connection (which it can provide to other devices around, acting as a wireless modem), 4G LTE great performance connection type and also HSPA+ internet connection, a slower 4G technology and fast 3G internet connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a Micro SIM card to use GSM services.

This device has two cameras, a 13 MP back facing camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front-facing camera. It is capable of filming 1920x1080 Full HD videos. Additionally, the camera counts with a lot of great features: auto-focus, flash, face detection shooting, fast burst mode, geo tagging and smile detection shooting.

The LG Optimus G also comes with a few cool characteristics as NFC, Bluetooth (provides communication with other phones, computers and accessories) and GPS, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This cellphone comes with an incredible 2100 mAh Li-Polymer non-removable battery that can keep this phone running for many hours, although you may find yourself looking for a place to charge it after some heavy use. This cellphone has an estimated stand by time of 335 hs and a talk time of 15 hours. An issue to take into account is that this cellphone's battery is non-removable so you can't change it when it starts to lose its charge, although with this big battery you will probably replace this cellphone before that becomes an issue.

This phone is being sold for about $ 455, not a good offer for this type of cellphone. No matter if you need a cellphone to play games, want this phone to take tons of photos, need a cellphone for work or want it majorly for social networks and internet browsing, this cellphone is definitely a great option .
