I’ve had my Optimus G less than a week and a huge crack in the back glass just like the one in the review just appeared out of nowhere today. The phone has not been dropped or punished in any way shape or form. This is obviously a design defect.

That software lag you speak of is probably Garbage Collection. I believe that was improved in Jelly Bean, so those issues should be dissipated once that joins gets that update.

It’s quite interesting about the screen’s “exceptional viewing angles” because the Engadget review says quite contrary.

Also you don’t agree on the camera. While every reviewer is right to have his own opinion, one of you is wrong .

The crack confuses me since these phones are made out of Corning Gorilla Glass 2.

Hmmm I know this is a review for the AT&T version, but I am wondering if I should replace my EVO 3D with this or the Galaxy Note 2….. So many choices it is tough. Although I truly wish we were getting the Padfone 2…..

Im buying it. Done like that. How many phones have jb ? Not many at all. 4.2 wont be on any other phone till late summer. You complain about plastic backs now you complain about glass backs. The screen is what I go for. Way better then my sg3 for sure.

Amazing they can release a phone with specs like that, and I STILL have absolutely zero interest in it what so ever. Screw LG.

Despite all the negative, this phone looks amazing software and hardware wise. If only the back plate wasn’t glass and the notification led worked, LG would have my money (if it ever came to Verizon that is)

I think the only difference between this and the new Nexus is stock android. The glass back is on the Nexus as well, which means the only real cons are software which can easily be fixed with a different launcher, camera app, etc. If the glass back is your issue, you might want to go with the Note2.

If I was on At&t I’d definitely get the OX+…on form factor and better camera/vid. would win me over the LG, even though it looks like a nice phone too.

Really not sure what you’re getting at. You can’t compare the battery life of two phones when one has a HD screen and the other has a super low resolution 800×480. The processor in the nexus has drive more pixels, which in turn reduces battery life significantly.

My friends’s girlfriend also has a skyrocket and when she drives into a LTE area, battery life drops like a rock as well. The skyrocket, as far as I know, doesn’t have integrated LTE either, and since LTE is a data only network at the moment, having an external radio at all sucks battery. The only advantage AT&T has over Verizon with regard to LTE is the fact that since they are GSM, hand offs between 3g and 4g are seamless and don’t require eHRPD. Battery life will only be affected if you’re in a fringe 4g area and hand offs are common.
