If you enjoy to watch some video in H.264, i prefer you to buy galaxy 2
If not, Optimus 2X is much better

SGS2: 2x1 Ghz, 1GB RAM, 16GB NAND-memory, 4.27 inch screen, 8.5mm thick, 116g
aaaaaaaaaaaand a superb SUPER AMOLED PLUS Display !!!
LGOS: 2x1 Ghz, 512 MB RAM, 8GB NAND-memory, 4.0 inch screen, 12mm thick, 137g
and a fine IPS-LCD-Display !
the price isn't the same...
Well and there is another LITTLE difference: I read (some weaks ago) that Skype will support TEGRA2 devices..
It is an important news for me.. Samsung has a custom SoC..
yep, but 2 version are come, Tegra 2 and Orion
i think o2x losing either in term of design or hardware spec.

Out of the 2, I'd go with the SGSII hands down.
Samsung has no HDMI... Something I really want on my new phone. The optimus does output 1080p, while the Atrix only does output 720p.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
SGS2 is better, but I've heard prices up to 6000 NOK (about £600). It's very expensive, and the LG Optimus 2X is much cheaper.
And when are the SGS2 coming? April? May?

SGS II has HDMI in microUSB connector

I also would like hdmi on my next phone, and like that the 1080p output works on the o2x out of the box.
Will the sgs2 also output 1080p via microUSB?
I really wan't to use this feature to share movies via hdmi, so maybe the o2x is the better choice on this point?

SGSII is supposed to have MHL technology. With this protocol it's possible to output 1080p over a usb-to-hdmi connector. But we have to see it in action first to be sure.
Do you think the RAM will be an issue on the O2X? It's only 512MB when the SGSII has got 1GB?
At the moment it probably wont matter too much but I can imagine games coming out in the next 6-12 months that could cause a RAM issue. What do you think?
Samsung Galaxy S II - €699
LG Optimus 2X - €499
LG Optimus 2X is definitely the best bang for your buck, and if your a gamer, LG Optimus 2X is the one to get, as there will be a crap tonne of Tegra exclusive games. Yes, I am aware that certain models of the Galaxy S II will be getting the Tegra chipset, but all we know right now, that is region specific.
Hi
I have a motorola milestone smartphone. Now i have an opportunity that have a second new phone. I check the smartphone market and i decided the lg optimus 2x have the best buy/value rate.
What i need:
big screen (milestone hw keyboard will be missed but a big screen will help me out)
fast cpu and gpu (i see some test, some case lg beat even the overhyped sgs2)
solid rock TFT what is usefull in sunlight
elegant clean design
sgs2 is not an option, its too expensive and overhyped. buy/value rate is terrible. sgs2 almost cost like an iphone and a little better than O2X. its not woth it.
iphone is not an option because...i better dont say anything
i see some blog and post that optimus 2x software is not too good, but in here i found many more good custom rom, so i reflash the phone anyway, and the official gb rom is coming out any moment anyway. (my milestone also run a CM7 based rom, i almost never use the stock)...
...so the software gliches is not interested me.
based on the hardware and the design i think lg optimus 2x is worth the money.
so im right and lg optimus 2x is worth it, a good descendant for my milestone?
As you want it for CM, I would say it's worth it.
Unless you love FM radio & A2SP, then you're screwed
Muhahahaha
Edit: that was on behalf of LG developers

i dont like the sgs2, i hesitate between the o2x and desire s, but o2x is not just faster but much more elegant.
sgs2 too much overhyped and expensive, and i have negative experience with the company other products too, so i not buy sgs2, not even if sgs2 will the last android phone on earth
The Desire S is basically just a smaller Desire HD
For me optimus 2x was the worst buy ever. After 2 units I've bough SGS2.
I understand that for some people it can be expensive, but there is more phones better than O2X at the almost same price.
Take a look at Galaxy R I9103.
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9103_galaxy_z-review-614.php
Here in Sweden it costs 399 euro.
If you like Tegra 2, it will be perfect phone for you. Anyway my advice is stay away from O2X.

For example Desire S, SE Arc or SE Neo with incredible battery life.
Even if those phones are not dual core, the user experience is much, much better.

O2x is awesome with the leaked gb from lg
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
It's interesting how opinions are split. Those who had "problem" devices swear they'll never buy LG again. Those who've had no problems, or their problems went away after flashing a firmware update/CM/modaco rom etc. seem to be quite happy.
When I decided to buy my o2x it was on Amazon with a significant price cut, cheaper than basically any similar specced phone. I received a lemon which has now gone for repair. I don't know what your odds of getting a good, working device are if you buy this phone.
considering all the comments i still think that o2x is a good choice.
Hello. until the past week i was very satisfied by the O2x and i have stock room and works fine for me. The worst what happened to me is that my usb conection with pc don't work anymore. Works only the carging of battery. Don't advice you buy this phone or other from LG. what is cheap is bad.
I have to say that this phone I bought from LG recently was a good buy option. I have looked at the other options out there. If you're looking for Dual Core, there are better specs yes, but then again, the software which is out there hasn't yet utilized the dual core technology. Bang for buck, the optimus 2x is a good buy and this coming from a guy who is sticking to a stock rom and resisting the temptation to go over to CM7.
I had this phone for 2 days, I skipped the lg rom completely and installed cm7 directly
I think its a bargain for the price, problem is that the support is pretty ridiculous from both lg and nvidia not updating / releasing the code.
It could be a beast if well supported, for example Nvidia showed a prototype in February with Skype HD video calling thanks to 1080p video decoding in hardware, have you seen that released ? No, skype doesn't even support standard video calling because tegra 2 doesn't support the "skype technology" (NEON).
It's useless for companies to show off what they can do bla bla bla... if they never implement stuff!
A revolution could arrive in ICS if Google decides to use Tegra 2 as the standard hardware

I bought it one year a ago and at this time it was the best phone out there. Since a lot of people bought it, there are many custom roms. Cyanogenmod 7 runs great and it gets a lot of support by MoDaCo since Paul O'Brian has got a source where he gets leaked updates and stuff. My O2X runs Temaseks Kang#52 and Vadonkas Etana Kernel with 32 MB ram hack.
But if I were to buy a new phone right now I'd wait for the new Models coming out. Because I want a 4,3 - 4,5 inch 1280x720p display without hardware buttons. I think it's worth waiting for it.

Hi
I am also from India ,recently bought this phone and i must say it has been awesome!I don't think there any competition for this phone being priced this low.Its like you are getting a high-end device for the price of mid range device.Near competitors are Galaxy R, Nexus S and Xperia Ray.But the Nexus and Ray are equipped with only single core processor and Galaxy R has similar specs as 2x but lacks gorilla glass,IPS and 8MP.
The main issue with the device is the volume.
Moreover since it was released nearly a year ago developments have flourished hence the device has good support from developers.The sole disadvantage is that the device is from LG and LG support has not been good.
PS-Galaxy S2 is priced at 30k($600) in India while 2x is at 20k($400)...and i don't see a 10k($200) difference.
The above comment is based on the scenario in Indian markets. New devices will always be priced high in Indian market.
Agree with the above.
For the time being I don't see any other device with such a good price/quality ratio as this phone. I've been "abusing" it for almost two weeks now and I think it's great. And I'm still on stock!
same here,
this phone gives a very good value for the money.
it has its issues but again worth every euro spent here in the NL
(220 euro) while SG2 is double the money and has a really bad plastic quality feel (i have them in my company and all the sales rep hate me because of that)
so yeh this phone is great with 2nd generation chips so just dip it into some nice roms / kernel and bon-appetite
The best choice is samsung Galaxy SII for 400$.

With a custom kang kernel and rom you can get around two days with moderate use.
Best phone Optimus 2X and cheap too for this performance.
I wouldn't swap my O2X for any other phone out there at the minute. Stick CM7 / MIUI on it and enjoy the best performance to price ratio...
I would say the O2X is a very sweet phone, but i would save up for the S2.
In terms of performance, both are close if you flash CM7 Temasek Kang + Vadonka's new kernel (3 feb) for the O2X.
Battery life on both is amazing.
But the S2 is slimmer, lighter, better screen (Amo-LED).
Even if you get the O2X, you will not be disappointed My O2X is beating my friends S2 (ICS rom) in benchmarks, browsing and battery life

Hey I am also from India and at 20k bucks this phone is worth it , my real sister has a sgs2 and I dont really see the reason to pay 10k more for a better screen,512mb more ram and 8gb more internal memory. Also the build quality of O2x is better than that of sgs2. I say go for it !

I converted rupees to pounds and your right about it in terms of money. I got mine for £200 delivered, but conversions show 20k rupee is about £260. So if its another 10k more (50% more), then it would be about £330. This is abit much for the S2 when compared to the 2X that basically performs the same.
In the UK, the pricing is crazy, but if we had the choice to pay another 50% for the S2, most of us would. Its seen as the top end phone that is also a fashion phone. Build quality on both are good, but the S2 is thinner and lighter.
Screen is subjective to the user since the 2X has an IPS screen which is fantastic compared to normal LCD and all those other screen types. But Amo-LED is very different. To me personally, the colours are more vibrant and contrast is much bigger at lower brightness.
Anyway, it depends on if your willing to spend abit more and if its quick to make that money. Same technology rules apply. There will always be better, and the extras in the S2 would be like future-proofing for next gen crazy software
For best value to performance ratio you can't beat this phone.
2x is my first android device and from my short experience with it i beleive that it is best value for money!

See theres really no need to pay 10k extra for some eye candy and ram, I'd rather save those 10k and a year later sell off my o2x and buy a quad core phone , sgs2 is old now since sgs3 closer, but if o2x would still be selling for 26k like the release price it would have been a better choice to put in 2k more and buy a sgs2
Sent from my Optimus 2X
For the price -lg optimus 2x is the best you can get with its price.
For the quality- lg 2x cost less than some 1 core phones so you should ask yourself why.
Even with kang's, cyanogenmod roms there are some problems that are not just ''eye candy''.
Lg official support sucks- don't ever expect anything from them, they make promises just like in politics.
I can tell you what problems i got with the cyanogenmod roms and kangs:
-camera quality is really really low for a 8mpx camera- sgs2 has way better video/photo quality- videos cannot be called hd videos- that's an insult for hd definition-no autofocus in videos;
-hdmi has some problems in cyanogenmod but is good on stock rom- sometimes i get a few seconds of black screen idk why, it still happens with tamasek's kang 55
-often when i go to sleep and put the phone into charge with an alarm on, in the morning the alarm doesn't start and the phone's screen is just black-can be solved only by removing the battery;
-having 150mb ram free is not only an eye candy problem;
A better screen (amoled is another life-if you have the opportunity try looking at the same photo on the 2 phones and you will see a HUGE difference), a better camera, more ram, more internal memory, ICS- i think those things worth the price difference.
Still, for its price is the best choice , for its quality it is not. I have an o2x but only because i was too stupid to wait 1 more month and get the sgs2 (, think how i feel now when i get less than half of what i paid it if i want to sell it!
Is the O2X a good phone? Just look at how many good devs we've got working with it -that should tell you something!
I've had mine since late last spring and nothing that's come out since has given me a reason to change...
Have flashed a lot of ROMs and am presently running Temasek's CM7 Kang No 53 and the most recent version of Vadonka's ETaNa kernel -fantastic stuff.
Buy one. You won't be sorry.
What do you think about this phone (L9) ? I've read that it works smoothly and battery lasts a long time. In my country the phone costs 900PLN. For example Lg 4X costs about 1350PLN and I can sell my black for 500PLN. I would like to buy, but I do not know if it is worth it. It have dual-core proccesor and SGX540 and 4,7 IPS screen with a little higher resolution. Gpu is old, I think. I can not decide and I'm waiting for a good answer. Sorry for my bad English.
Its like "hanging in palm tree after falling from sky" (A hindi proverb translated roughly). Sell ur OB and dont look back for LG. I m yet amazed you are going to buy another mobile from LG. IMO go for HTC as they have very vast support by XDA and their updates are good too.

HTC = locked bootloader and if you dont know how to you could brick the phone.
as I always recommend, go for an AOSP device Galaxy nexus or the next nexus4 (made by LG) or some of the new xperias.
Yea, but in my sweet country Nexus 4 costs two times more and it doesn't have microsd slot. If thera is 32gb model of this phone, sure I will buy it. I saw on the youtube that L9 is very smooth, have good performance, good battery, nice screen(I don't need a full hd in phone) and good looking.
I have tried this phone and i can tell you that it is very smooth in comparision to another smatphone like optimus l7. Also the materials (for me) are really good, :laugh: i also would buy l9 because it doesn't costs much for what it offers

No company gives free nothing.. Just think why the L series cost is less than Optimus Black
You compare the LG Optimus Black and L series in some sites, nothing L series is better than Optimus Black except ICS version for now (of course now we will get soon official ICS for optimus black in couple of weeks)
So decision is yours..

Optimus L9 seems to be a lot berrer than Optimus Black
L9 is better than P970 for most things, but according to GSMArena it doesn't have GPU and it will choke on high graphics games.
@pkb_always4
It depends on what phone you have not the brand. It varies. Out P970 community is better than a lot of HTC phones just as some HTC phones community is better than ours. Were alot better of than most phones this old since other companies like HTC decides rather not to give updates than take a while longer to release them (Even though they're supposed to but Google doesn't enforce it strictly enough). If you want a guaranteed awesome phone,awesome community and awesome official then theres only Nexus. The only problem is that it's expensive.

I looked at P769 which is also L9.
The SGX540 is a very good GPU.
If thats the phone he was talking about then its much better than P970.
It have OMAP 4430, the same have razr and prada 3.0. But i thought that sgx 540 is old. This gpu is in the first galaxy s.

It won't give you lag. You don't need more than that.
I'm decided, but does not want to leave our community. Unfortunately, this the way of things. My Lg Black will go to my brother. I don't why so many people complain about p970. It's a very good phone even now(but yea with Zeus ). I will sure keep checking here still. We have a very good developers. I'm sure that someone go for the Lg L9 too. And thanks for reply.
Same GPU as the Nexus S/Galaxy S, so it's better than the OB but not that much, compared to the Mali 400 in the Galaxy S II/S III and Xperia U/P. The Xperias have the same CPU as the L9.

Strange! The first thing I tried calling my wife from ShowRoom was to call with voice dial. Any ICS have built in support for that. Just press google voice and say "Call Wife" and phone will call your wife. And yes, I am also coming from O2x, almost same device.

HTC = locked bootloader and if you dont know how to you could brick the phone.
as I always recommend, go for an AOSP device Galaxy nexus or the next nexus4 (made by LG) or some of the new xperias.

Well said. I am long time hater of LG for its slow support, but pals, THEY MAKE UNBRICKABLE PHONES. LG Support Tool always UNBRICKED every phone (which I know). This is TOPMOST best feature of LG. Now about slow or no support, who cares? We have XDA One of my friend already bricked HTC phone last year and later sold it in scrap.
This is the reason, this week only, I upgraded to new economical but still strong model LG L9 with 4.7" screen. Long duration Li-Ion 2150 mAh battery, which gives two full working days (and roaming also) which is rare in most Android Smartphones. So now people should stop cursing them, like I did. I also recommend all for LG Nexus 4 if good budget, else go for L9.
EDIT: How LG phones are unbrickable? When you press few HARDWARE buttons on phone simultaneously the phone hardware puts phone in SW Upgrade Mode. No matter phone is bricked or working. In this mode most devices download full rom with the help of LG Support Tool and your phone is back in action.
Most (not all) of the phones from other companies does not even come in such upgrade mode and you loose chances of bringing LIFE back to phone, leaving only one option to send to Service Center and well you know how much they charge. I did not pay a single penny to Service Center for any of my bricked phones.
here are the main differences ...
connectivity:
.p970 Has a gyroscope , l9 not
p970 can be used as a WiFi hot spot l9 not.
l9 Has DLNA p970 not.
camera:
Clearly better video recording quality 1080p @30 fps (l9) vs 720p @30 fps (p970)
power
Appreciably more battery power 2,150 mAh (l9) vs 1,500 mAh (p970) => 44% more battery power

i like the screen of the phone and with a nice custom rom you will get some decent battery life and great preformance.
it can handle almost every game without any lag and the looks of the phone is great.

just my 2 cents

yes, imo. for that price, there's no better phone out there.
How much does it cost for a Nexus 4 without contract in your area? I think you should consider Nexus 4 if the price is not more than 20%. Get some research on Nexus 4 too. The config is almost the same as most of the latest flagship model except for 1080p screen.
Again don't get me wrong, I still love my 4X HD, but just the same as what I said Snapdragon S4 with 2G of RAM, beat 4X HD a lot!!!! Hope it helps

Yes it does in performance but you won't be able to expand your memory. In Germany the LG Optimus 4XHD 16gigs costs 249 Euros. The Google Nexus 4 16gigs in 249 Euros.
