Okay, i have been using O2x for a month and i feel that on performance wise is just average.
So i would like to ask people out here to rate these 4 phone on performance basics:
(1 - 5, 5 being the best)
Samsung Galaxy S II
HTC Sensation
Motorola Atrix
LG Optimus 2x
With a custom rom and CPU at the same speed as Galaxy 2, you get almost the same scores.
People have to inform wich rom and Cpu speed they are using.
Otherwise this threat has no use.

i dont know how the performance of the other devices is but the stock o2x system is really slow compared to cm7 and probably most custom roms.

I have my O2X with CM7.
Love it. Infact, i like this better than the SGSII. The SGSII's build quality turn me off actually.
Just have a couple of problems now:
1. Battery could be slightly better
2. The LCD Bleeding is still a bit irritating.
I have been reading screen bleeding, but what does screen bleeding means?
Agree CM7 is really good. To bad about the A2DP.

You get what you pay for. And o2x is the best at this. For less than 340€ you get dual core, tegra, nice screen.
If money isnt a factor go for S2

SGS2 vs O2X
As of now I`m epecting my O2X to arrive within the next days, giving away a, besides crappy batterylife, excellent SGS2. But after a line of only HTC made handsets and therewith highest quality experienced ever, I just can`t live with only one day juice on actually doing NOTHING than just NOT touching the phone, maybe one or two short calls. So from my point of view: As long as battery threads filling every known forum for SGS2 ---> hands off!!
Performance is brilliant though.........
Hope O2X can do at least better here.
If you don't touch it you'll get more than a day, if you use it, not so much.
Would wish I had bought the Galaxy S2 instead
I own all of the phones listed above, the S2 is great on stock, 2X is god on CM7. Atrix is no good. Sensation is pretty much average but is snappy.
So preferences based on performance.
1. S2 - Stock Rom PWNS
2. 2X - CM7s Top pick
3. Sensation - Dust specs in screen.
4. Atrix - No good CFW, stock is dead too.
Haha i also wish i have bought the sgs2

in original form the phone is junk, sure it's basic android but LG dropped the ball with putting 2.2.2 on this device. after rooting the phone and installing CM7 the phone is pure magic. Everything flies, smooth, that's how it should of been from the beginning. Either way i'm jumping ship when nexus prime comes out.
Adding to you your rank, i think the 2x is better than the sII due to the fact the sII feels like paper in my hand. Construction wise it's crap, i rather have some weight to my phone than a piece of paper, hardware wise the sII is better with a better screen/pictures/video but i think the phones are on par if you update the 2x to CM7. I havn't use any of the other phones.
I bought 2 LG Optimus 2X - one had many problems with reboots and lockups, this one I have now replaced with an SGS II
So currently I have the O2x and the SGS II (my son uses the O2x)
No doubt the SGS II is wastly superior to the O2x - stock rom just works so beautifully, partly because of more ram and a newer Android version, partly because of less bugs than the O2x. The camera is much better on the SGS II for still photography and alot faster to use to, but videorecording I find is better on the O2x (mainly better sound quality).
Construction wise the SGS II is not crap at all, just because its lighter doesnt make it crap. The construction build are actually very good, theres no squicking or anything and its very sturdy despite being so light. I had my fears regarding the SGS II feeling to plasticy but it doesnt. The thin backplate are very flexible and almost unbreakable.
The big screen is nice, quality of screen is very good, allthough the O2x screen have better whites. Touchresponse of the SGS II are better than the O2x. Battery last longer in the SGS II, I almost get 3 days of average use, where i get 1½-2 days max on the O2x. Music and video are a joy to play. And theres no sign of any lag anywhere. Not like on the O2x where it lags when you install from market for instanse.
I still like the O2x, it got nice design, feels like quality, hardware is good, the LG software changes are not too intrusive to basic android, but it simply just doesnt perform the way it should. LG messed up with this.
To many problems with the reebooting and lockups still being experienced by so many people even after almost 6 months since release. And even when it doesnt reboot or lockup its still running a flawed Android Froyo 2.2 which lags in situations where it shouldent (being a powerfull dualcore phone etc.) - you just dont feel like theres any headroom, like you do on the SGS II where the feeling is more like "nothing can slow down this phone". Just feels completely snappy all the time no matter what you do.
I have a friend who just bought an O2x 2 weeks ago, and he is now also experiencing the random reboots and lockups, despite being on latest stock firmware and the phone being completely new (so not some early batch).
Sure you can install custom roms, most have issues of their own and most dont really make the phone that more stable or that more fast or fluent/smooth in daily operations (I dont care what various test software scores are, its real life performance that count) - besides one should never have to install custom rom's to make a phone usable, this is the manufacturers responsibility. Sure you can install custom rom if you want to play around, but it shouldent have to be a nescessity or something being recommended to "fix the phone functionality". You buy a phone, it should work out of the box, period.
All in all I cant really recommend the O2x anymore, sadly. To much of a risk of getting a phone that wont make you satisfied because of the various issues.
It may change when gingerbread are released, but seing what LG has done sofar during 6 months for this phone doesnt leave me impressed or expecting any wonders from their gingerbread
after 3 months using o2x, LG made major mistakes
1. they stock rom is 2.2 if we compare from sgs2, htc sensation. they already use 2.3 for their stock. even atrix which has the stock from 2.2 they can do the fast upgrade to 2.3 rather than o2x.
2. the memory of o2x is low compare with sgs2(1GB), sensation(768MB), atrix(1GB). this is dual core phone and why LG only put the memory 512MB???
and the cpu is still in the same range between sgs2,sensation, and atrix.
that's my opinion
i have one random reboot(using old rom v10b) upgrade to v10dESA, v10dEUROPE, and v10eESA no random reboot, and have problem once with the wifi but after the baseband is upgrade it's ok so i can't complain about it
I think the Optimus 2x is a great phone, just that the software portion needs more customizing. Hardware wise I think the 2x can compete with the rest.

phone is can compete with 3rd party software, stock form the o2x is dead last. I find mine (CM7/rooted) to be smoother than my friends sgsII.

Samsung Galaxy S II - 5
HTC Sensation - Don´t know
Motorola Atrix - Don´t Know
LG Optimus 2x - 4
I gave the O2X to my wife and got myself an SGS-II. The LG is not a bad phone but the SGS-II is just a different league (Thinner, Lighter, Smoother, better screen, better Cam, Better battery life)
The phones over a year old now. I only picked mine up used almost half a year ago for 200 USD. The phone's price really plummeted in just over half a year didn't it? Even now it hasn't dropped further as it hit its rock bottom way back then. High end phones that are older and with less specs cost the same as this as its really unpopular. An example being the Galaxy S.
So in a way its a pretty unsuccessful phone. Reasons? Software support has been terrible, suffering from radio issues. The stock firmware was appalling for a long time. Then the announcement ICS wasn't coming which soon after you saw the price hitting rock bottom. Leading to LG to counter its previous comment and proceed with ICS. Which it probably had no plans to before the backlash. Since the update was due rather late and has since been delayed a quarter.
Hardware wise its not bad. But still outdone by S2's larger screen, double ram and better camera.
All said i'm extremely happy with my first Android especially considering what I paid. But only with the developer support providing the best solutions. If I were a stock user i'd be sorely disappointed, only feeling better for the price.
In terms of my next phone, I want a larger screen 4.7ish but not pocket busting like the note. A better camera but equal to 2X is fine. More RAM because Opera Mobile keeps shutting down when I multitask out for a second, even with an extra 48mb ram hack. Amoled would be nice but not necessary, mainly for its benefits if its sunlight legibility is good. HD is unnecessary in my opinion.
As it stands I probably won't be upgrading for awhile until the likes of the S3 gets cheap. Except its design looks unprofessional. Optimus 4X anyone? :-D They couldn't make the same mistakes again right? Right?

i am happy with the phone. the only complaints are the screen outdors and the camera (well not the camera itself but the plastic cover that ruins the quality).
i dont even dare thinking about a new phone but seeing how fast the market moves today's pick will be outdated in 2 weeks.

Hayabusa 12mp sounds like potential. If nexus grew a good camera, it'd be killer. The rumour of five nexuses this year is promising
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA
some people arent that rich to change expensive phones every 12 months.
My next device will be WITH a good battery, a SD card slot (dumb htc with their one series..almost made them perfect), a good camera (likes of SGS3 or more likely htc one x), and an ARM cortex-a15 based cpu (or krait). and quite importantly, a wolfson micro sound chip (also supported by supercurio ) i dont want screens as large as 4,7 inches though
oh, and i hope it will be a nexus...i want good updates... fuuuu LG
this would be a freaking dream phone. but i aint buying anything until the 2x gives up on me, i still really like it
So far i had 2 android phones with the optimus being my second one. I have noticed that all those "specs" do not matter. What matters is a good software. Therefore i would move to a nexus devices when my optimus gets completely destroyed or really useless. No need to keep throwing money on phones if they cannot completely replace my laptop.
I will go for a SGS2 or 3 or a Nexus.
Hopefully soon. Tired of all the probs with my LGOS
currently, my o2x running temasek kang, it give me what i want to do
still waiting for the stable cm9, then will use it about a year
my next phone maybe the galaxy s4
I think I'm buying a S3 or nexus. And what Arkara said, I agree that specs don't matter as much as the software support.
Seeing as the S2 a friend of my has, still running stock since launch and no factory resets: Smooth as hell, fast and long battery. Galaxy Nexus is also stable.
Maybe my phone has a bad chip or something like that but the FD issues are to much and the battery life is overall the same for me no matter the BB or RIL. No more Tegra for me.

Nexus seems like the popular choice among us. I think specs matter still otherwise you wouldn't be after a high end phone. I personally have grown accustomed to CM's flexibility and features so i'm not really after software support. Except as we know in our 2X case it lacks drivers for us to update to.
Of course a stable good software release is important, afterall custom ROM users are a minor aspect in comparison to sales. But in the S3's case Samsung are trying to differentiate and add value through the software extras. That's great for most but if your not using it you're paying for nothing.
At least the idea behind the S2 was hardware and just the right software to make it run. This time around Samsung are making moves inspired by their biggest rival in their eyes, Apple. They like to poke fun and criticise Apple but they would prefer nothing more than to be them. The design, the marketing and the software are all in their footsteps.
What do 2X users here think of the iPhone anyway? I think it's like our polar opposite in the high end. The super expensive overrated and over hyped hardware with good closed software popular phone compared to the piss cheap higher spec phone with miserable software and success.

Well, they sure as hell have a long way to go as far as design goes. Pretty much all android phones do. They are butt ugly. The Optimus 2x is actually one of the prettier ones imo! The Galaxy S2 for instance is a design disaster.
I'm not a fan of the iOS, though. When I use it, on my Ipod Touch, I get the feeling that I am being treated like an idiot.
I will have a close look at the ASUS Padfone.
If it only had a 720p screen, I would have bought it.
When the Rumors about 5 new Nexus devices for Jelly Bean come true I hope ASUS makes one of the phones. I love their build quality and design. They also are the fastest when it comes to updates and patches.
I also think that the Optimus 2X is among the prettiest phones. This was the reason I picked it instead of the Galaxy SII (the price was similar at launch).
With CM7.2 UNOFFICIAL (I also use temaseks build) the phone is very good and I get a good battery life lately since I turn my phone off and back on right aufter I unplug it from the charger in the mornings. The only thing I don't like is the Battery life when I use it a lot for webbrowsing and games.
My next Phone will have a 720p display, a bigger battery and more RAM.
SD Card slot, swappable battery are things I would very much miss if they were not available on my next phone. Optimus 4X maybe, Huawei D Quad maybe, Jelly Bean Nexus possibly or the Padfone?
I´m tired of the 2x....
...because of the politics from LG.
The stects of that phone were really good, but as it was said before: Good software ist more worth than good hardware.
I think my next Phone will be the next SGS or a Nexus.
What i need:
SD-Card
huge RAM
720p Display
LTE
NFC
good Cam
Hi there.
Atm i'm using an htc desire with cm7, runs really well, but i do notice the phone is getting quite old.
Thought about upgrading to an LG 2X.
Is it worth it ?
Are you happy with your 2X ?
One of the reasons i'm looking a LG is because all the new phones, while fancy, are so freaking big, i mean, 4,7" screen, that's hardly a phone any more, that's a mini tablet. The 2X is one of the only dualcore phones with less than a 4,3" screen.
I don't use my phone for games, i use it as a phone, navigation and some browsing.

That's a very nice phone, 1 year old, but...if ICS update comes, it will be very amazing.
After that, the O2x is not even brickable :good:
Lot of custom rom are still available if you're not happy with the stock one...
For a daily use phone...it's a very good choice :good:

I just realised that i've been playing with an "hp liberty bell" for a week, and it's also running the tegra 2 chipset. And it was nice.
So unless there is something else they screwed up on the hardware, this seems to be my next phone of choice.
I am also very satisfied with my O2X. I had the same screen size issues and I didn't want a screen larger than 4.3". And I didn't want to spend that much money on SGS3 so O2x was my natural choice.
O2x is a great phone with affordable price this is a perfect screen size

It's a nice phone and I learned the hard way that it a pretty tough phone. Jumped in the pool for 10 seconds and it still works. The screen is nice and in all its a nice device.
Just remember, when you buy this device, by it for what it has now. The possibility for ICS is shaky due to LG/Nvidia. So if you like GB go for this phone, If not get a nexus s or galaxy nexus as those are guaranteed updates.

But it does get ics, right?
I mean, it clearly has the hardware to run it.
According to LG, yes. The 2X will get ICS. The real question is when. LG first announced that the 2X would get ICS in Q2, now it's been delayed to Q3. We're all eagerly awaiting for that.
All in all, as others have said, the 2X is a great device.
Sent from my Nokia N95
Don't BUY it! I swear you will regret it! LG's never gonna release the ICS update not now, not ever!
SAVE YOURSELF! Do it for us O2x owners ;( *silently dying*
I vote for YES! )
This device is so powerful. The hardware is decent. Only software just not satisfied. But if you love to do something/tweak, then it is fine. But if you just like end-user who only use the phone out of box, you are welcome too but don't complain this and that. ifyouknowwhatimean
With the price so much cheap (in my country,LOL) it is so worth to own it.
About ICS, maybe LG want to focus on 4x HD 1st, then after end promote their 2012 flagship then only they focus on 2x. HOPEFULLY. haha
Don't make the mistake to buy a LG2X or a Terga2 tegra3 device !
its a great phone. but lg are a pain, they took ages to release the official gb, they announce 2x wont get ics, then it will get ics, then it'll get ics in Q2 of 2012. we are now in Q3 and they havent made any comments that i have found to say its been delayed.
LG are rubbish but the phone is good. just keep that in mind, im sure that official ics will arrive but i dont think it'll be any time soon.
again its a great phone, even without the official code the devs here have made a couple of great ICS roms (few bugs obviously) and lots excellent GB rom so think what they;ll be able to do once official ics comes out. - its the only reason im keeping my 2x.
Im happy with my O2X.. Im using ICS rom, as I dont mind its bugs and it's nearly perfect. Everything runs well and I wouldnt change the phone as it fulfills my needs. Give it a try.

I have now had my O2X for more than a year. It is sturdy and reliable and yes, the size is good!!
It is the phone I have had most fun out of and I have been on the mobile phone wave since mobile phones were portable, only with a wheel barrel.
I am rather convinced LG will provide the update to ICS and thus give the drivers to our developers, so we can enjoy fully functioning ICS roms eventually.
For trying new ROMs on, it is just a breeze and there are so many to try, you will be addicted to this sport.
I am a gadget freak as any other man, maybe even a little more, but this device has kept me happy now more than a year and I think it will last a year more!
So, nuff said; I recommend it as a good buy.:good:

Mike.
I don't mind tweaking, the first thing i do after unbox is root.
With my desire i tried many roms, but after a while i figured that CM7 was the best option, nearly no bugs, and good support & development community. But none the less it is getting old, even tho my setup runs butter smooth. CM7 with launcherpro & s2e.
Atm i've got my eyes on one for about 120€, seems like a good deal.
Well, my experience with LG is that most of their products are crap (except TV's maybe), but once in a while they make something good, you just gotta know to steer clear of everything else.
Wondering why some people don't recommend buying tegra 2 or 3 chipsets, they are pretty powerfull. Is the development bad for nvidia chipsets ?

Hi fusk!
I am really happy about my O2X, but I'm a bit surprised at the reasons you are giving for choosing an O2X.
Actually, it is precisely when I'm browsing that I think a bigger screen would come in handy.
If that's what you use it the most for, I would consider looking into the galaxy S2, if I were you. It has a bigger 4.3" screen BUT the phone is practically the same size as an O2X (I have had both in my hand and was able to compare them myself). The S2 has much better screen/phone size ratio, as the O2X wastes a lot of space at the bottom.
Of course, the O2X is still 25% cheaper than an S2... but if your only criteria is size, the S2 is more or less the same size of the O2X with a bigger screen.
EDIT: Just saw your post where you said you were "eyeing" one for 120 EUR... I would be careful about buying older O2X's... there were a lot of people reporting BSOD (black screen of death) while charging and random restarts. I bought mine early this year and I've had none of that even in stock ROM, so I would say the more recent batches are better.

I've had my desire for 1½ years, and used it for all those things, never thought my screen was small, it had a perfect size.
I have played with the S2 and i don't like the size, But you are right that sizewise they are pretty close. But so are many phones. Going from 3.7 to 4.7 is a huge difference, but from 3.7 to 4, and from 4 to 4.3 are small diffrences.
But as i think the HTC desire which weirdly enough is the same size as an iphone is the perfect size. I am trying to stay as close to HTC desire size as possible while bumping the hardware specs. Instead of looking at the S2 i found the S1 to be more interesting.
Actually i think this is very interesting. Android and W8 phones are getting bigger and bigger, but the iphone stays the same, while getting 5mm longer it keeps the formfactor. And i'm quite sure all of them have done extensive research on what people want, but clearly two very different results. I'm one of those who wants to keep the desire formfactor with new specs.

I could argue with someone who prefer HTC One X, but I doubt I can win the heart of SGS3 chooser, except they're price sensitive.
Also more phone with quad-core and less price will come up, so LG better gathering more ammo to gain more attention.

So if you like to flash another rom the one x is definitively the better choice. They are getting CM10 like the S3, even I'm getting CM10 on my old galaxy S so I'm not convinced yet to upgrade to this

Its definitely worth your buy!!! My friend had the same phone OMG it was wow big. Hmmm well atleast better than L7 , but compared to samsumgs, lg still lacks the capability. Oh, the phone gets HOT after awhile idk why!! And lg just wouldn't release the unlocked bootloader so yea rooting is inposible for now!

Rooting IS possible.
i just compared mine to HTC OneX 2 days ago, since a family member got that. and really, it is pretty much the same just with the sense4 menu's and different camera features (speed of rolling snapshot) but quality and design, o4x feels better to hold in your hand.
my only dislike
screen activation when power button is pressed (see other threads if you want to know how widespread issue is or is not)
i'm quite happy with it. and its still affordable compared to htc's product in the same cpu range.
we had root'ing some weeks ago, and i personally contributed with a bootstrap ClockWorkMod edition, so we can utilize backups for now. custom roms with custom kernels seems a little far away. only custom roms using existing kernel is possible.

I have no screen activation problem and I don't think it's a widespread issue.

xactly by point, but it exists even after many,many reinstalls. but i survive, its quick enough as long as its within a few mins.
Well you got me convinced, I dont see why I should throw another 100euro after the one x, when their nearly identical in their specs.
I was kinda disappointed in htc support and updates, so I guess I dont expect much of LG either, but it seems ot me they released at least 3 smaller updates since release and hopefully jelly bean will come soon enough

the HOX has had a lot of updates since launch. The latest update with sense 4.1 fixes the lagging issue and improves the battery life too. And HTC has updated all their 2011 phones to ICS.

true story!
Omg why Optimus 4x is so Dumb Mobile in forums. It has all Awesome specs Equal to One X and S3 Of course S3 Is Awesome :fingers-crossed:
What I wanna know.
Why is Optimus 4x not listed in Top Mobiles It has good quadrant standards Better than One X and equal to S3, But why this Optimus Big man Suck.
All I know No open Boot loader (**** Lg Sucks in this Support) But I have 2x Which became popular even before it is released:highfive: I suppose><.
And reason I like Lg Awesome Quality and Service For Low Price.
And reason I hate Lg Worse Software support (Reason: Lg Did not comment on when 4X will have Jellybean And if this is case We will never get Lime Pie), I swear I completely bought this mobile hoping Cynogenmod Will highlight this Big Boss, But I am sad when the News came, P880 may or may not have Unlocked boot loader(http://cafe.naver.com/androidhacker/487(Translate IT)), Guys I wanna make this Mobile competitive to S3 Common Devs.
So don't complain and search for good devs experienced in Tegra.. the bounty and cash for the phone are waitin.
When the bootloader goes unlocked, our device will be for sure in top.

Even with locked bootloader and the sh*tty camera, I wouldn't change the O4X for any Shaysung or iFone
Not that I'm LG addicted, its in this case, its a question of design. O4X is one of the few phones in the market with solid, simple and atractive design.
Not forgetting that is a great device with a good performance.

I couldn't agree more. I had been out-of-contract on my last phone (HTC Desire S) for 6 months but there was nothing out there I wanted enough to take a new contract. The 880 changed all that - it has everything on my wish-list - removable battery, SD-Card, and it looks good. I don't want a phone to look like a pebble or a bar of soap. I want it to look like it does. Even if we never get an unlocked bootloader, I can handle this phone for the next 18 months or so on Stock.
Very cool answer. I agree with you man

Only hoping we get development starting soon.
And ya "I am a bit LG addicted"

I think LG designs well and they have good specd phones. Ibelieve many people like their phones, we are just skeptical because of their non-chalance with updates. I played with this phone last week and I love it but I don't think I will buy it just because of the lack of update issue.
P880 the best phone i have used yet, infact all the LG phones ive used. User experience with Samsung phones are just incomparable to LG, putting aside their designs.
Btw LG started making electronics way before Samsung did.

+1 => Totally agree!
LG 4X HD has a look that one will like for long, unlike the other designs which one might like at first glance only.

this is my first LG phone, and so far it is very likable. A few years back I wanted to buy KM900 and I bought iPhone 3G. I went from Nokia N97 to wifes iPhone 3G, for which she said that she does not want to use it. What a blessing that was going from Nokia to iPhone.The only good thing about N97 was its battery time, camera and speaker. I did not regret from going from Nokia to Apple it since it is working until today.Last year when I first wanted to upgrade because of the camera to something with flash and more than 2MP I wanted Optimus 2X, I had it for a review, but did not like its back and slow camera.Somehow I could not get used to Android either. Starting this year I really liked Optimus Black, but they sold all of them, so when I was in Barcelona on February, I saw Optimus 4X. But the iphone 5 was suppose to be launched soon.Nothing happened with Apple, so during waiting I was checking out S3, 4S.After iPhone came out I did not want to get in the line, and also somehow, the price issue and availability
of the iPhone 5 made me think twice. I own my old iPhone 3G, but after years of using it it was time to change. Waiting for iPhone and than paying for it 729€ was not an option, I needed a new phone, so I decided to buy Optimus 4X. Camera could be faster doing the autofocus thing or shutter, but I think that can be solved with an upgrade. If someone knows something, some fix, please send me a pm. Panorama could be made with 8MB not just in VGA mode, could be solved with firmware also. So far I like it for the same reasons most of you guys-girls do.
I choose this over a S3 due to the shape, I like a brick phone, I dont want a "pebble" , had a LG phone before and hated it, but I gave this a go, I love the phone, I do find my S2 screen was a bit more sensitive to touch then this and a few software niggles, but hardware its good and has good scope if we can unlock its full potential!
Anyway,
I will not say Samsung sucks or is best because samsung s3 too have update issues, Orizon s3 do not have unlocked bootloader, And to say frankly i myself hate similar shapes of s3, And i think u guys should watch this video on xda TV.
Samsun hate developers using there devices, They don't know why. But actually samsung became so famous only because developers.
Here is the video link:laugh::highfive:
