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.

I dont know were are your informations from, but O2x is not faster than SGS2. Maybe in some syntetics tests, but in the real scenario its laggy. My old HTC Legend was sometimes faster.
buy it optimus 2x is the best phone out if you ask me, never had a problem

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.

desire s is definetly slower. the stock rom in the o2x is not too good, but reflash with cm7 or blazingdragon, it is much more faster. i see many videos on youtube.

O2x is awesome with the leaked gb from lg

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
The title says it all, what phone should I change to?
Can change in March as my plan allows me to change every one year. No idea what phone to change to. Budget is of course lower than the S II.
Look for any phone offered that is confirmed to have ics support, that has a decent cpu clock speed.
The xperia line is getting cheaper in singapore.
Maybe an lg optimus 2x its far less money, but not a million miles from the s2. Large screen, dual core and official miui.us and cm7 support. There going for nearly half the cost of an s2, so you should get it free. Not a bad looker ether.

Perhaps a Galaxy R might fit your bill
Herpderp Adreno + Tegra.
LG Optimus 2x maybe??I love that phone and is planning on buying it..
Otherwise,you could go for Galaxy W,but its not dual core
If it were me i would stay with samsung, theyve seemed much more reliable and value for money than other brands ive tried (huawei u8220 + u8110) however those phones are pretty old now, so the newer budget phones from huawei may be pretty good
What about SE Xperia Neo V??
It'll get ICS too ??
depends upon your minimum requirements too...also if u can wait a bit more sony will be launching some good phones shortly in different price ranges

The Optimus 2x has too little RAM. Major fail. They shouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Sent from my LG-P990
Did you read the article? In page 4 you can see that double the RAM without good software means nothing.
The Galaxy R has better specs but in the test wins Optimus 2X.
Even if O2X doesn't win in every category, it certainly wins in the price category. I bought mine for 326 eur and in the same store the galaxy R is 425 eur. Whatever the difference is in the test results it is certainly not worth 100 eur, in my opinion!

agreed, i too was considering the galaxy r a few months ago, but got the lg optimus 2x bcoz it was cheaper
Lets keep it simple and short, galaxy R if you want to stick to stock firmware with no oc .Optimus 2x if you want to flash custom tims and/or Oc!!
Btw o2x beats sgs2 @1.4 and 1.5 Ghz with sgs2 at 1.4 and 1.5 respectively

Its hard to compare the sgs2 with the o2x because its gpu is only capable of rendering color in 16bit compared to the o2x in 24bit making any comparison completly pointless users of the sgs2 are tricked by the samoled display.
Even if i could afford the sgs2 i never would have got it, if i wanted overprised crap id have bought an iphone.

LG 2X is better because it's more affordable.
many dealers back here in india have no stock of SGR,samsung have stopped production.
and those who have stock they are charging 23,000-25,000(INR)
SGR is good phone but was good only for 19-20k(around 400$)
optimus 2x is great at a cheap price with almost same features
Hy, i want to trade or sal my LG Optimus 2X and i don't know what to get. I wand a Motorola Droid Rarz or a Samsung Galaxy S2 (i don't like it but i can trade my phone with one, for Razr i should wati to sell it...). I don't know what to choose,
P.S: Any phone i get i will flash CM9
Samsung S2 galaxy because have better community and better overall.
But why this question is in the section of the LG ob??

Ops... sry i didn't realize ) i have a ob so i post here instead of o2x.... )
to answer your question... If you are not in a hurry and dont mind chipping some cash in go for razr maxx. Its inbuilt 3000+ mah battery will last for ages and it is almost as fast as sgs2 (both on stock) once u get rid of the motorolla crap from it. If on the other hand u are refering to a normal razr then go for whichever u like thw most keeping in mind that on both phones battery life will suck big time. P.S razr maxx is almost as slim as sgs2 despite the monster battery. I also like razr screen more because despite being amoled it is not as exaggerated and oversaturated as the sgs2. Hope u enjoy whatever choice u make.
Both are great devices.
Sony Xperia S is also a good option bcoz in my country it has the same price as Galaxy S2 while Moto Razr is lil bit more expensive.
Anyways I love my Optimus Black + It'll also get ICS not like Samsung which has bad reputation in this case.

Now that's up to you. Galaxy Nexus has vanilla/pure ICS, it's design is damn sleek (so is Motorola RAZR) and eveything is good. Only downsides are that it doesn't have expandable memory by microSD (like all previous Nexus phomes) and it's camera is 5mp vs 8mp for RAZR. But they both have 1080p rec.

Hi everyone,
I've got a burning question.
i'm curently the owner of a LG optimus 2x and my experiences with that phone are not that great. Only recently my phone started to work rather well due to a good custom rom based on a stock ics build. (Thanks a bunch Carburano!!)
My contract will expire soon, so I will be in the market for a new phone in about a month and I am seriously considering the optimus 4x HD, although many optimus 2x users would consider me a fool becaulse of those 2 letters on the front bezel...
If I have read well, there are currently no custom Roms available, but is that a miss with this phone?
So basically... would you, as owners, recommend your phone?
Thank you so much for your wisdom!

As there are already some threads on this topic, I recommend you to do a bit research in them. But in brief, I can tell you the following: The stock rom runs really well. Custom Roms might be availible at some time (there's a Sense port in "no phone" state). If you want a phone with removable battery and/or SD card slot, or you're looking for a Tegra phone for gaming, go for the 4X. If you don't need those,have a look at the N4 (if ou can get one), there's most development.
Whoops!

try nexus 4 or wait
Go for nexus 4 or Wait for tegra 4 phones. Those will be in february.
I'd recommend this phone if you don't need custom roms (because they may never be available, even if progress was made). It's an excellent phone, slim, powerful, with some enjoyable LG modifications. The microSD port and removable battery is a big plus.
As Shuny says, great phone, incredible screen quality ( even better than IP4S and SGS3 ) , powerful . If you want a STOCK ROM , its your phone. But , as people said, Nexus 4 or Tegra4 devices are coming.
regards.
( sorry for poor english , im brazilian )
My only gripe about this phone is the camera and heat... I haven't really tested out other quadcore phone so i don't know if they heat up easily or not, I only tested their camera and it was good.. SGS3 and SGN2....
Anyhow, MWC is around the corner so wait around for a bit and widen your choices...

I really don't like the S3... the shape, the software... the S2 was nice, but the S3, not so much... at least for me anyway...
I don't do much gaming, and I really love the form factor of the 4X... the software also seems a lot more responsive than the S3...

I sold my s3 and hox and got the 4x. Well I got more money for the s3 then I paid for the 4x and same applies for the hox as well and I don't regret it. The screen in the 4x is better then the s3 no burn in or checkerboard issues like the s3 screen has. Battery in the 4x is superior to the hox and also removable battery and memory card is a big benefit that the hox don't have. The camera is the weakest on the 4x but there are ways to fix that even without root. And the 4x is faster then the hox. The tegra 3 on the 4x is better optimized. Anyway the 4x is a totally fine quard core monster. And also u can use a normal mhl cable instead buying a special one that works with the s3. So there is more benefit on having the 4x then non benefit.

But, I choose LG P880 vs IP4S and SGS3 , not for price, but incredible screen and performance, IMHO , better than S3 and IP.

Exactly what I think...
I'm going to sell my S3, get me a 4X and even save some money...
The 4X has everything I need... the S3 is a great phone, but it looks extremely fragile... and the home button, boy I really hate that... I was a previous owner of a Galaxy Nexus and the soft buttons are a lot better than physical buttons...
And I really think Jelly Bean and a new kernel can fix most issues the 4X has with games...

I know it , but 3 months ago, when i purchased the phone, i pay R$1799, its cheaper now, i know, but , also you know , we suffer with taxes here. In EUA and Europe , this guy can be purchased by US$ 350 - 400. So , lets return and focus ... This smartphone is a great choice.
Wow, thanks everyone! That was really all I needed to hear. I really want a removable battery and a sd card slot... so my options were limited to the O4x or the sgs3... an I really prefer the looks of the O4X and the screen.... it was just the brand that concerned me... having to wait over a year for ICS on my O2X from the announcement to a crappy release... made me worry!
You guys helped out a lot! I think I will permanently join you in about a month!
And lets hope there will be some custom roms to play with in the future!
Thanks!
