Review: LG Optimus 4X HD

[nsane.forums]

It's a new flagship device from LG, it runs Android 4.0, it has a Tegra 3 chipset and a 4.7-inch IPS display, but can it offer a feature that's better than a smartphone already available?

It has been a long time since LG has produced a top-of-the-line Android smartphone, the last of which being the LG Optimus 2X - which, despite being the first dual-core device, was quickly overshadowed in early 2011 by other devices like the HTC Sensation and Samsung Galaxy S III. Now LG is back on the flagship line with a direct successor to the aforementioned device, albeit after some pretty major smartphone releases from HTC and Samsung.

What I have is the LG Optimus 4X HD: a device which, on paper, ticks all the right boxes for a top-end smartphone. You get one of NVIDIA's Tegra 3 quad-core processors which we know to be powerful, a large HD display, NFC, Android 4.0, and a refined, signature LG style. However, as we already have two behemoths on the market in the HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S III, it will be interesting to see if the Optimus 4X HD is in the same league.

As always I thank MobiCity for providing me with the LG Optimus 4X HD for review today. They continue to provide first-class service to the Asia Pacific region, plus with their recently opened MobiCity UK store, you can now purchase the latest smartphones at decent prices very close to the release.

Specifications

I already mentioned above some of the major features you get with the LG Optimus 4X HD, but again what appears on paper is the perfect combination for a flagship device. Compared to other devices on the market the 4X HD doesn't appear to have any standout hardware features that would warrant an instant purchase, but that doesn't mean the devices is bad and certainly warrants some interest from smartphone buyers.
