LG Optimus 4X HD Android phone

The Optimus 4X HD is the first LG smartphone that effectively competes with the best Android phones on the market. It may not offer anything above and beyond its rivals, but in most cases it performs just as well. LG's UI skin also adds some impressive features without completely ruining the interface.

Cons:
  • Below average battery life
  • Poor video recording performance
  • Awkwardly positioned speaker
