In the market today, LG was totally out of the list in smartphone arena, with the almost-failed Optimus 3D got washed out due to the love of HTC One X, Motorola Droid Razr and the Samsung Galaxy S3. LG now enters the market with a blast of a new smartphone, the LG Optimus 4X HD, the question to LG is that, is this would worry other brands? Though LG calls it “HD” through its additional features and it produces excellent display, the 1080p issue still appears to be missing. On the other hand, LG has brought with a wonderful and slick designed flat with a sophisticated look and internal features that would stand out on the leading smartphones in the market. This Android phone has a HD screen, Ice Cream Sandwich OS, and a strong quad-core processor.
The Optimus 4X HD has taken on the stylish LG Prada 3.0 design with its angular-look with rounded edges, it’s slim and lining background of a dual chrome lining on the edges. Its front surface protecting its 4.7 inch display by a Gorilla Glass cover with a bezel thin is making Optimus 4X HD a one-hand friendly phone regardless of its size. The standard Android touch panel button is the back, home and menu located below.
The left side is the volume control as on top is the 3.5mm headset jack and the Sleep/Power button. On its right side, nothing can be seen and on the bottom it has the micro USB port which support MHL. In spite of the elegant look, the back panel is made of plastic and houses the camera of an 8 megapixel with its led flash and the bottom holes is the speaker. The display is a standard 720p one and it’s additional features LG got is the Nitro HD and Spectrum that gets the IPS display of 1280 x 720 pixels having an excellent quality graphic, which would missed in the 4X as I told earlier is the 1080p factor that are well overvalued in most smartphones.
Keep comparison aside, the display and graphics quality of the 4X HD has an outstanding screen. In a bright condition the screen is well readable like on the sunlight. With such an intuitive and remarkable interface, a 1.5 GHz quad-core NVIDA Tegra 3 which it doesn’t really slow down the phone on a heavy usage that runs on a multiple application.
With its Optimus 4X HD battery it has a rate of 2150mAh which is just a bit higher than the Samsung S3’s 2100mAh. With the standard use of stand-by, texts and calls it could go for three days. If it includes the use of the Wifi, moderate games, reading e-books, and camera it could take up to almost 2 days. Not that bad.
With its physical look, LG 4X HD is simply elegant with its angular look. The feeling is good when holding through its right slimness and lightness. The LG’s speed is great, if the 4X comes a bit earlier than the Galaxy S3 and HTC One X this would be the best on hand. Nevertheless, Optimus 4X HD is a worthy to have through its price and its hype.
