Pros.... it has a quad S4..
Cons.... It's made by LG, Software by LG, can't take the battery out, no memory card slot, it's made by LG.

Cute novelty but doesn't seem like something that could be used as a selling point for most. I mean, how many times do you watch YouTube while writing an email?
Definitely neat feature..but unless he needs $100 I wouldn't recommend swap..oh yeah and its a lg..

This was a decision for me as well. Sdcard and battery killed it for me. I get great battery life with the s3 yet am still getting more batteries. I gsme or 2 can really empty a battery.
Sd, I look at it like this. 2 years ago I got an 8gb card. Never thought I would fill it up as I had hardly filled the 4gb before it. Now I have a 16 card along with my internal and they're starting to fill. Few games and backups will take a ton of space.

In all honesty, people were saying this about Samsung say, 2 years ago. If LG chooses to support their customers, then they would be better.

I'd say do it, you will never know whats wrong with a phone unless you try it. and at the end of the day you can just post the phone on craigslist and put trade for an s3 or note 2. can always go back. I'm actually looking for the same phone as you are offered.

This is why I am not using it. No dev support unfortunately. They also locked the boot loader. They're not too open about modifications.

Boot loader unlock is in the works.. Not sure on progress, but theres a few XDA devs working on this for the Optimus G. Specs aren't bad. But biggest turn off as mentioned is difficult to remove battery (3 screws on back plate, 2 on battery.. PITA to remove) and no SD expansion slot. I use my SD quite a bit due to flashing roms and things like that, so it's a deal breaker on this end.
Phone seems interesting. Quad core s4 right. I know its an lg. But let's not all forget the epic 4g when it was an Samsung and there was no support

I think with LG making the newest Nexus device this phone will get good support for updates considering its pretty much the same phone. Samsung used to be horrible with updates before the Galaxy Nexus so hopefully this helps LG along their way also. Seems like a great phone I wouldn't think you would be disappointed with a S3 or the Optimus G.

there's a thread dedicated to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1884701
I just read about this thing, and I know we have leaks and such, but it worries me that we won't see JB. Why would they update ours and have a new one come out, and the new one is the same thing accept 8GB internal and runs JB out of the box. Anyone else at least confused on Samsung's thought process here?

Same as s3 mini a smaller budget friendly version of a popular device. The plus will probably fall to the low mid range devices similar to the level of the transform or moment or galaxy rival etc.

I didn't think they were, it just confused me as to why they would throw another version of the phone out with less storage, and JB out of the box, but I didn't think if it they way evil put it.

I'm not sure why but it's probably because they got left over parts they never put to use so they probably just slap them together into a mid range phone and make whatever they can out of the parts they wouldn't be able to get rid of anyways. Just my thought... if you can scrap older parts or left overs into a device you can use to sell via a carrier on a contract for 50 to 100$ maybe even free, why not?
Maybe looking to corner the market on pre-paid carriers with the left-over parts as mentioned before. Also, with apple rumors on a lower cost iphone for overseas markets, maybe this will be marketed as the H2H competitor.
We got Jelly already anyway so who cares? I mean if FL16 isn't good enough for a daily I don't know what is.

HTC did this with the Evo. Made the Evo Design, then dropped the HTC Evo Lte
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapalk HD
So why is this called Plus? Seems the same as the SII but with less storage? Same screen size, same camera's, both are dual core. Why would you go with this over a a SII?
I guess the positives of it rocking nearly the same hardware is that if the older S2 models don't get 4.2.x updates... the S2 + will be a sign of hope.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Looks like the price will be around $450usd (if its priced similarly to other countries by exchange rate) so itll be a lower mid range device on par with s3 mini slightly higher price than s3 and lower than prevail. So on contract it should come in between $99 and free(if it goes to us carriers that arent prepaid)

Who the hell knows. Probably size constraints cdma devices have alot more crap inside them than gsm does. International phones have one gsm hspa+ 21 or 42 antenna vs cdma has a 1x/3g plus wimax or 1x separate 3g and wimax. Then theres all the other parts in there wifi antenna bluetooth SoC RAM etc nfc chips are actually quite big. The s3 has it built into the battery because of that and the note 2 has it built into the battery cover with connectors that press against leads on the back housing
Edit: it also has a very limited range like maybe 2" MAX so it cant be embedded in the device it needs to be almost at the surface to prevent interference from the other hardware. Its range is so limited it wont eve work thru some phone cases

I mean, it just dawned on me, the international s3 has a quad core processor. .. I think that it may be squashed before it even gets to carriers. Neither the verizon or sprint 4.1.2 leaks have it.

Its coming....its not quad core specific. Our phones are more than capable of running premium suite. Im guessing in the next few months we will get it.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
The thing I find most surprising is that someone from the UK, where it has been released, hasn't uploaded it to XDA. It's out in the wild now, people are using it. I would have thought it would be floating around here. We're usually ahead of the curve!
On the next few months... Lol
One year later from the others! What a carrier..

Well won't this just be out dated in fall by the 800? Just saying I was very close to getting this phone only for lg to announce a successor a month after its release.

How to disable thermal throttling on LG devices
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
Great hope you enjoy it. I can't wait till the bootloader is hacked. The pre loaded stuff is junk except for the Remote Control. I upgraded from the Nexus 4 which basically has the same specs but has the LTE chip deactivated. I paid 300 for that and 50 for this so I feel the phone is way worth it. When a true 8 core comes out then I won't blame you for waiting.

Not sure whats the problem, if Sammy makes a phone like Samsung Galaxy Camera (Samsung's last resort for business), I don't see why a flip phone is not coming... Maybe even a brick phone O.O
