  • Unobtrusive and simple skin
Cons:

S3 Killer - for heaps less!

Pro - HD screen, highly responsive, very bright. fast smooth system, decent battery life. Con - Fingerprint magnet, keyboard very close to capacitive home button, can only access message drafts by going into an app and hitting back. Sound is a bit tinny, hard to get accessories.

LG has loaded the full monty with it - a quad-core processor, large "True HD" display fit in a fairly compact for it body, and the latest Android version out of...

The LG Optimus 4X HD may look the spitting image of Samsung's Galaxy S2, but it's a much more powerful blower. It's still a hard sell though, with the Samsung Galaxy S3 and HTC One X on the prowl, and the iPhone 5 on the way.
Pros:
  • The design of the LG Optimus 4X HD doesn't stand out from the crowd
  • but the 8.9mm thin block is rock solid
  • and if you like non-descript slabs rather than neon plastic in your pocket
  • it'll do just fine.
Cons:
  • Android 4.0 is almost a year old now, so as beautiful and easy to use as it is, to find it on a new smartphone is a little bit disconcerting
  • Especially since LG seems to have spent the intervening months tampering with Google's operating system and morphing it into something unrecognisable, LG's...

LG Optimus 4X HD review

Sure it's a little late to the party but don't be put off by the hefty SIM only price, this new Optimus is a right smartie. The 4X HD offers up a HD screen, quad core power and plenty of tricks for a considerable chunk less a month (on contract) than the big players from Samsung, Apple and HTC .
Pros:
  • Excellent screen for a mid-range phone
  • Handles polygon crunching games
  • Clever tweaks to Ice Cream Sandwich
Cons:
  • The small-handed might struggle
  • Galaxy S3 still preferred choice

LG Optimus 4X HD review

LG hasn't quite managed to pull off a complete win here. Battery life disappoints if you push this handset hard, and the hardware design could have been sleeker. With Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) now here, the phone is a tad behind the times, and the camera isn't without its issues.
Pros:
  • Large
  • high resolution screen
  • Quad-core processor
  • Neat design
Cons:
  • No Jelly Bean yet
  • Disappointing battery life
  • Laggy autofocus
