Hello!
I had the LG Optimus 4X HD and I loved it, but unfortunately i has been stoled.
Now I'm in doubt, buy the LG P880 again or adventure with Galaxy SIII?
The price here in Brazil is a small difference between them, and then what should I choose?
Thanks u guys
Let's make a small comparision here. ( this is only my opinion)
Advantages of the 4X HD:
+ better screen
+ I prefer the design of the O4X than the S3
+ Cheaper
Advantages of the S3
+ Battery is better
+ More software updates and custom ROMs
That's what i think. Hope that will help you.

A little addition to it:
4X HD:
+Games lags a lot even of tegra.
+Tegra gives more graphics.
+Loud speaker sound isn't much loud.
+Old 40 nm process, means high heat production.
+Optimus UI 3.0.
+Better battery saving on music play only.
Don't buy s3 if you loved your 4x then go for optimus G it's better

Since the point was to split the comments in advantages/disadvantages of the 4X against advantages/disadvantages of the S3, I've fixed your list for you.
Btw, I didn't know if you meant the UI 3.0 as a pro or a con, so I left it as a plus.

Agreed.
IMO, it all depends on what you can afford and what you liked/disliked in the LG.
Quality-wise, I'd say it's LG 4x < Samsung S3 < LG Optimus G. So, if you can afford the S3 and not the Optimus G go for the S3, if you can afford either, go for the Optimus G.
Although if you have a penchant for the LG form factor as I do, you'll save a bit (and/or wait till the Optimus G's price goes down a bit) and forget about the S3.
That said, it's all about the experience so, if you can go to a store and try the S3 and the Optimus G

buy the s3 it's the better performing device, better sound quality also games do not lag and does not overheat when playing anything it also comes with expandable storage sim card support and removable battery the 4x has glitches everywhere with 4.1.2 and updates won't come any time soon.

Thanks u guys! the Optimus G in Brazil was released today 04/18/13 and is to much expensive
Very very thanks guys!!!!
I'd say S3 if the price is close
I chose the O4X as it was much cheaper than the S3.
If the price is only a slight difference, definitely get the S3.

I extensively tried my own 4X HD, my father's S3 and my sister's Nexus 4.. I found Nexus 4 is the best...
The price in HK are almost the same for these 3 phones now.

Man I am from Brazil too, if you can save a little more (I don't know if you are able) I would get a Xperia ZQ.
But if we compare only both of the fones (OX4 and SIII)
I just had the same question at the end i've chosed OX4, they are saying that SIII has a bad quality gorilla glass in Brazil. I don't know for sure.
Design of OX4 is way better than SIII in my opinion and about the price tag, I've found many prices of SIII the lowest was about R$ 1500.
If you look you can find OX4 for R$ 999 at red store and 1.299 where i bought mine at extra supermarket site.
I hope I helped you. :good:
Sorry for my bad english

A friend of mine was sitting ON THE GROUND and his S3 fell out of his pocket and the screen shattered with spider web cracks. That fall must have been less than a foot. It's crazy. So yeah I'd be wary of the S3's shatter resistance is what I'm saying. Also the same friend has had to send away the phone for software-related repairs twice now. He's not a modder, his phone isn't even rooted, all the issues he's had are stock related.

..not completely sure where that comes from. The 4x battery has higher mAh capacity, the sio+ solution is still organic, but better than the usual lithium ion batteries for retaining the charge, standby, etc. Tegra3 with a normal setup also demonstrably gives you an hour extra over the qualcomm chipsets on gaming. It trounches anything else on medium loads/movie playback for any neon/arm7 codec. Meanwhile the helper core can run music playback, small background tasks, and so on, on a power-draw similar to the second iphone, or the previous arm5 setups with the "graphics card module" disconnected.
Probably the problem is that LG put in a few background tasks, like the logger, and the today app - that actually prevent the phone from dropping to idle, while stealing cycles while running on full burn. This hasn't really been fixed, and you will have massively higher power-draw than you can have with just the standard setup.
Technically, though.. and if you just remove those apps.. it's undeniably the most power-efficient as well as most powerful chipset out there. And you notice it when you play around with the phone. For example if you do some picture editing, drawing with complex brushes, that sort of thing.. The tegra3 chipset here is extremely well designed, without exceeding the power-draw of an arm5 single-core setup.. And this is kind of a feat, so.. you know.. You get a lot for the money here - if it works as intended, obviously.... LG could have set this up a bit more carefully..
How many other phones with an ips display and a replacable battery and a memory card slot is there on the market, anyway..?

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.

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

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($200) difference.
The above comment is based on the scenario in Indian markets. New devices will always be priced high in Indian market.
Agree with the above.
For the time being I don't see any other device with such a good price/quality ratio as this phone. I've been "abusing" it for almost two weeks now and I think it's great. And I'm still on stock!
same here,
this phone gives a very good value for the money.
it has its issues but again worth every euro spent here in the NL
(220 euro) while SG2 is double the money and has a really bad plastic quality feel (i have them in my company and all the sales rep hate me because of that)
so yeh this phone is great with 2nd generation chips so just dip it into some nice roms / kernel and bon-appetite
The best choice is samsung Galaxy SII for 400$.
How the battery life on 2x???

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

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..

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.

Hey bro, I think on gsmarena, he just took the wrong phone... here are the full specs:

So the gpu is: PowerVR SGX540
But no clue of how good it is...

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.

I picked up a p769 L9 and I must say I'm impressed! The screen is beautiful and the phone is snappy! It makes me forget about my G2x. I'd love to see CM10.1 on it. It would run it perfectly! Only drawback I've seen so far... I can't seem to get Voice Dialing to work. What gives?

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.

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

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!

Sorry for posting something that's already been posted... I read quite a bit already and didn't find topics on this, but I'll try to look better next time.

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.

Im living in Brazil . Isnt a cheap phone here, about R$ 1799,00 ( about USD$900 in a conversion ) , i think MWC brings us some new phones, like Sony Z , Nexus 4 , and many others with 2GB + quadcore in this price range.
But, I choose LG P880 vs IP4S and SGS3 , not for price, but incredible screen and performance, IMHO , better than S3 and IP.
My opinion : BUY IT !

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!

Yes this is because most people coming here are to complain ( speaking from my experience) so you will get demotivated a lot even though this phone is great ( once again in my opinion)
Even though our camera is not the best nor is out optimus UI despite those small things its a great phone for a very good price
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda premium
I agree you cm camera is actually not so bad in good light (low light it sucks as much as the normal). Optimus UI is just a matter of taste I like it. For now it has one of the best performance/price relation I think. Maybe its not the bestto play hardcore games as it gets hotbut with underclocking your cpu and play games its very good.I thinkthe simple mobile games are way better than the FPS. just my opinion

Dream on...
Arent Nexi budget phones? In all other places where there is no Google Play, they are expensive and when everybody and their mom suggests getting one, it gets annoying really fast.
Here is the thing with Nexus phones. The only good thing about them is Google updates. Stock android experience and so on are all covered by custom roms.
And as for this thread. If you have money, dont bother with the 4X HD. There are better phones out there with better stock roms and quality I believe.
O4X was my first android phone. And i love it.
But i spent to much time waiting on JB on unlock bootloader on rom, everything... so i sell it =(
I changed for SG3 - and those two can not be compared. On SG3 battery for me stands for full 2 days! on OX4 max 12h. Camera is much much better on SG3 - and those are most important things for me on phone.
O4X is cheap nice hardware... but bad support bad battery ( strange wakelocks) is downsides.
And yes... dust under screen... i hated so much LG about that!
Also using this opportunity to say bye to all O4X lovers and community. Se ya i another thread

I never sell my phones. I have a ton of it (including Nokia 1610 from 1996). I've made mistake with Optimus 4X HD, but it's my fault. In the other hand, we don't have Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie or decent phones with powerful chips (Tegra 4, Snapdragon 800), so I will wait for next flagship. My first Android is still working, HTC Hero from 2009 summer.

After nvidias fail with tegra 2&3, you would really risk tegra 4? I accidently left my phone locked to single core only yesterday, and was playing a few heavy games. There was barely any difference. The CPU is insanely powerful, but the GPU is a total POS

nVidias fail with Tegra 2 and 3? The support from manufacturers wasn't exactly massive but they were great chips.
I'd say the Optimus 2x had better performance when it was running a custom ROM, I ran Nova HD ROM it was overclockable and ran really well.
I havent taken the plunge with my 4X rooting and custom ROMs yet, I'm waiting for the warranty to run out first!!

Well in terms of general use and multitasking the quad core is incredible, but considering I just bought a cheap dual core powervr 531 tablet and it runs some games better there's deffo something wrong. I do believe however that game devs are partly to blame, but its enough to make me steer clear

Hey guys... Just wondering how is the call quality with your phone?... Do you get drop outs?... Is the signal reception good and consistent? Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I don't make many calls with my phone, but so far the call quality has been fine.
Seriously, I gotta hand it to people who buy quad core phones for games because phones are the worst possible medium where you would want to play a game. If you wanna play games, go get a tablet or a desktop PC with reasonable cooling. A decent PC that can run EVERY phone game costs around 450 euro. Thats cheaper than a Note2 and litterally every 2013 high priced phone.
The reason why this phone cant play games as "Smooth" as you people would want is because of throttling and bad optimization. The heat that is generated while playing a game is ridiculous and the CPU+GPU overheat because there is no cooling happeing there.
The only, and I mean, the only reason why the S3 runs cooler is because of better throttling, not because it has "Efficient" internals.
There are many devices out there that do the "Gamiing" part better but you would be paying 80- 100 Euros more for just getting a "Better" phone for gaming.
When somebody comes around says "Oh, the S3 is so much better"and LG has dust underscreen. May I remind you that the S3 up until January this year had a brickbug +restarting bug and the restarting bug has NOT been fixed. The brickbug was a internal memory error.The restarting bug seems to happen at random with people with the "Insane" chip. I was in a dilemma when I bought this phone. Do I wanna risk buying an S3 and after 6 months it could become useless? I said no.
If you are happy to invest +350 to +400 euro for a phone just because you find the beauty problems of this phone bad then for "Insert your favorite vendor"s sake do so.
I am happy to have a functional phone that when compared with the price of other phones, just blows them out of the water. Phones like the
S2, Sony Xperia S,T,SP, Optimus G, Nexus 4(It costs around 400 euro where I live, compared to 280 euro with this phone.) and so on and so forth.
Hey, I challenge anybody to offer an alternative to this phone with a price range of :
300-350 euro
4.7 Coll HD or FULL HD IPS screen
Removable battery
MicroSD slot
16GB internal storage
The only alternative is the Huawei G615 but that thing is 4.5 coll, has only 8 GB internal storage and does not seem to have CM support.
