LG to release Optimus G next month bit.ly/OG82Id

Looks exactly like a bigger Optimus 2X with a different back.
The 4X looks way better in my opinion (still the G looks about 1000 times better than the S3 :laugh
The G will make my June 2012 2gig ram Optimus LTE 2 phone cheaper and far less popular, but technically this phone rocks and I have no regrets. I've had minor problems that have been fixed. I recommend the LTE 2 as a reliable awesome cheaper alternative to a very expensive "G".

S3 is one ugly brick. I love my S2 but if Sammy continues with curvy designs and shiny funky color schemes like S3, I may have to look elsewhere at the year end. From the specs, Optimus G seems to have it all and a killer screen too. Can't wait for it to come to AT&T.
I thought this thing was supposed to be unveiled at IFA, now I wonder when this will be out in the market.
The LG Optimus G will be available for purchase in Sept n SKorea.

I think that is absolutely the most beautiful looking phone out there, without a doubt! Therefore I am so f*****g happy that I am a tester for LG:s phones so I will receive that one for free to test it!
How do i sigh up for that job? Who wouldnt test phones? What are the requirement for the job? Anything special?

Actually it wasn't anything I signed up for or applied, I won a competition LG hosted in Sweden so I received a LG Optimus 4X HD which I wrote a 6-pages review on and also did a youtube-review and kept a good relation with those at LG so they said that I can be a tester for their upcoming phones as well

I am talking with LG Sweden, but if I have any good pointers or proposals they forward them to LG center. In my report that I will send in today I have written about some suggestions to be in the v10g update and I took all the proposals I found here on XDA, I also wrote about that LG should unlock their bootloader.

I have a feeling the release of Optimus G will also be very much delayed like the O4X, seeing that they keep on delaying and moving the release dates of the videos on their teaser site. Maybe you should also write to them about punctuality and sticking to their schedule.
I agree with the release date stuff. LG should be sort of like Blizzard Entertainment. Best stuff...no release dates until finalized.

Tell LG i want a quadcore serial processor with 2 Nvidia CUDA GPUs. One gpu for graphics and another gpu for parallel processing. Offload video and video editing and such to the GPUpu. I dont care if the phone is a bit thicker. I want THIS phone.
The Tegra 3 has 12 cuda cores in its GPU. Lame. I want more CUDA cores.

I have added this to my report that I will send to LG tomorrow, I haven't experienced the delay of release, probably because I haven't been so up to date with LGs releases, but I wrote it in my report so I will se what they respond!

Cool. Do you know nvidia's maximus technology? I want maximus on a smart phone.
Sent from my LG-F160S using xda app-developers app
This video released today is the closest thing to the actual design of Optimus G. The phone looks nice and looks like it's better to hold off buying the O4X now. September 19 might be the launch date for this device.

the LG Optimus G Pro was released days ago. its got the same screen size as the note 2 but is narrower than the note 2. i wanted to tget the note 2.. but now since the optimus came out, i'm thinking about getting the optimus. which do u guys think is better and why?
I would go with the LG
Newer hardware. Better display. Etc.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
Do you intend to use the spen? If yes, get the note 2 or wait for the note 3.
I do IT work and always used to write notes in a notebook or quick notes on post-its. When I needed the info later I would have to waste time thumbing through a notebook or looking for a sticky note that I'd lost. Now, everything gets stored on my note and is readily available later.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
i would go for the note 2 for sure. all the things that you can do on LG, now you are able to do it with note 2. using Android Paranoid Halo the new version. I bought note 2 because i am in IT business as well and take notes and do many quick things on note 2. Anyway thats my opinion hope it help you.
Good Luck

Mods are probably too busy to delete a single post that really has not broken any rules. When I decide on two phones I .... Read. I compare the specs side by side. Go to the store and play with both. Then I think about how I use the phone and then make the decision based on what I read and how the phone worked in person.

If price is not an issue, then go with the optimus. It has a slightly faster CPU, higher resolution screen, and a better camera
One me variable. If you like to ROM and play with your phone avoid lg. They rarely have much dev support si in sure the Optimus g will be the same
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I would say the LG honestly. Way faster, better display, fits in your hand better. Overall just a better phone honestly. I have had the note 2 and just got the LG and I love the LG a lot more.
I have had nothing but terrible luck with LG.
For me, I would stick with what has worked and had awesome experience with Samsung products.
I know the Nexus 4 has sold well, but is vanilla.
I guess the best bet is to head to store and try each one out.
I don't believe the battery last as long in the Optimus G either.

LG optimus all the way I sold my note 2 went to the gs4......that thing felt iPhone small after having such a huge display!!! Lol now I'm using the optimus pro and regret my choice.

I would take the Note 2. Literally everything in my house is Samsung. Didn't have too good of a history with LG. And plus, I'm Korean. Got to support! Lol. Spec wise, LG, but I just prefer the Note 2.

The device is out since last automn, it's not even one year old...
My next one is not for the next 1 or 2 year easy!
And, as of now, there's no need to "upgrade", there's no real gaint to get, performance wyze, at stock speed. So when it starts to get "slow", I'll overclock a little, install CM rom, and stuff like that!
But, for now, the device is doing everything I ask it to do, and fast!

Sorry U.K., doesn't look good for a native device on one of your carriers. Should see a decent up-tick in traffic around here soon, though. I'm hoping there won't be too many variances in hardware between the countries seeing as how the ones released so far are almost identical aside from the Korean TV tuner/antenna.
This is an awesome phone!
It's better than S4 as well as the Note 2!
I'm so fortunate to have bought this awesome phone, coming from the tiny HTC One in May 2013 , after dumping my S4 in April 2013.
We all know that LG has a bad name before the G and now, the G Pro series! But, not now!
The G Pro is super duper awesome!
It's slim, the LG Optimus UI is so features-rich, speedier and smoother. It's way better than TouchWiz!:good:
Cheers!
I think this is great ! I'm hoping this will favor the LG optimus g pro getting updated to newer android releases because a lot of countries are supporting it.
Just wonder, any news of Android 4.2.2 OTA for G Pro?

What bad names are you talking about? LG Nitro was a heat long before plans for G. and custom roms are still popping in forum and LG even released 4.1.2 for her own LU6200 recently . So LG was great long ago, its the strange people that prefer subpar HTC or Sammy, that call LG bad names :laugh:

Likewise it was with Optimus G, soon to be released in Europe E985 will have 4.2.2 from the start. I think so. Then update will come to AT&T, as it was with 4.1.2 for E970

Once G Pro is released in Europe, I think the Asian's G Pro should have the 4.2.2 OTA too.:silly:

For Asian version; LG-E988, there isn't any FM radio!

Sent from my LG Optimus G
Nope.
So no update for the OG? Damn....
So far the only official version we have is 4.1.2 for all variants.
Would be nice even if one variant gets 4.4 cause then it can be ported like how the Korean rom was ported and then later the HK one before NA officially got 4.1.2

LG would be the saddest smartphone company if they didn't update their one year old Flagship. Take hints from Samsung, LG
Sent from my LG Optimus G
Most smartphone users do not care about software updates. They do not know the importance of it. Just want Facebook working well on a big screen and durable battery. Why in my opinion it would take to update our OG is trying to avoid fragmentation of Android, not the anxiety of a minority of users ...

If such phones like the L7,L5 and L3 will get the update im sure that our G will get it too.
C'mon guys what a comparison L3 vs the G, its more a joke.
LG should drop their own software and form a partnership with Cyanogenmod. Simple as that. No problems with software and they could only concentrate on hardware.
please not!!!!
LG UI is one of the gratest interfaces i´ve ever seen!

I'm hoping above all else that we do, but it just seems weird that an LG phone would be among the first to receive an update considering the company's history
