LG Optimus G E975

LG's Optimus G has hit local shores a bit late. But thanks to its premium feel in hand and decent specs it makes for a capable device worth considering.

Great display, despite only being 720p rather than full HD; smooth and fast performance courtesy of its CPU and RAM combo; decent level of software feature enhancements; really decent rear snapper; and feels a bit more premium in hand compared to other...

Heavier than a lot of its rivals; design does not allow it to stand out from the smartphone crowd; and lacks the brand appeal of the iPhone and Galaxy devices.

LG Optimus G review

With all of its many great qualities, the LG Optimus G deserves to do well in the market. But it will face a wide array of new smartphones shipping in the next few weeks, including quad-core models like the HTC One X+ running Jelly Bean, and a slew of...

LG Optimus G review: Grand Slam

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support, 3G with HSPA; LTE, 4.7" 16M-color WXGA True HD IPS Plus (768 x 1280 pixels) capacitive touchscreen, Gorilla Glass, Android OS v4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, planned upgrade to 4.1 Jelly Bean, LG Optimus UI 3.0, Quad-core...

No microSD card slot, No Jelly Bean at launch, Mediocre sunlight legibility, Non user-replaceable battery, 13MP camera hardly any better than competitors' 8MP units

Safe to say, LG has done it - all the right pieces are put together in what's a good-looking and powerful smartphone. And unlike the Optimus 4X HD, the Optimus G isn't trailing behind the competition. This time LG is ahead of the pack. The powerful S4...

Review LG Optimus G E975 Smartphone

Familiar devices. More than four months after the launch of the Google Nexus 4 the counterpart from LG is finally available. The specifications are almost identical but the price is much higher. This review will tell you how the South Korean flagship...

Build quality, SoC-performance, LTE module, Bright display, NFC module, Temperature profile, The Google Nexus 4 concept was successfully refined, drawbacks have been improved and useful features were added, for example the LTE module

No Full HD display, Non removable battery, Memory cannot be expanded, High retail price, A removable battery would make sense and the quality of the front camera could be better

LG Optimus G (E975) Review

Our initial impressions were good and the phone certainly looked promising. After playing with it for over a week, here's our final verdict on the Optimus G.

The LG Optimus G is available for a street price of roughly Rs 31,000, which is quite competitive considering the is priced similarly. The Optimus G is definitely one hell of a feature-packed smartphone and has the raw power to carry out any task with...

LG Optimus G Australian Review: Fantastically Forgettable

LG wants to shed its image as a supplier of dinky pre-paid handsets, and decided to build the Optimus G: a phone it has dubbed the “superphone”. Naff buzzwords aside, is the Optimus G any good? LG says that to get this device with 4G, Android 4.2 and...

Late but worth waiting for: LG 4G Optimus G reviewed

It's a little later than we would have otherwise liked, but the Optimus G does manage to be a mostly stellar effort from LG. There is a lot to admire about this handset. From the simple and understated look to the fact that it just really performs, LG...

Lovely premium look and design, Blazingly fast 4G speeds, Not performance shy at all, Camera performs very well

Screen isn't Full HD, No microSD slot, Not remarkably easy to plug into a computer thanks to the requirement of LG's software, On-screen keyboard isn't the best out there, Battery life isn't great
