Now, lets have a look at the Highs and Lows...



Highs :

Optimus G has NO CARD SLOT for expanding memory
  • Processor excels for what it is meant for
  • Screen quality is upto the mark
  • Pixel-Density is superb ( 318ppi)
  • 4G available
  • Excellent built-quality


Lows :

  • No Expandable Memory
  • Keyboard not upto the mark
  • Camera could have been much better
  • Processor heating
  • LG UI not good


Conclusion :
Since the launch of the mobile, late last year, it able to deliver itself well in the category of the high-end devices. Although some cons are there, overall if we see, this is a good phone to buy in the high-end category.
The camera of the device is able capture good and decent pictures, with the video recording capability that works just perfect with the Full HD mode. The performance of the device is just excellent and works far better than the average.
On the negative side, if we see, during our test we found that the processor heats up at the slightest of the task. Also a big problem for the Optimus G is the sunlight legibility issue, its brightness cannot be increased and that plays the worst part.
On the multimedia side, the sound quality is just brilliant, and with the LG provided headphones it works just perfect.
Concluding, we think that with this features available in the phone, the price tag provided is a little higher, although the pros are solid, the cons are able to overcome the price, thus we think that price is little higher. Never mind, every phone has it's own pros and cons, but this one is a great phone in the 30K around budget, but still we feel the Optimus 4X would be a better option from LG to buy instead of this one.

Alternatives for Optimus G : Xperia Z ( If you can expand your budget a little ), Note II, Nexus 4 , Galaxy S III, HTC One X
