There wouldn't really be any difference in speed with Jelly Bean... It's already instantaneous lol

I watched the video, it was blazing fast. I just don't enjoy LG's Optimus UI, and I don't like the design as much as I thought I would. Waiting for specs like these to hit the next Nexus, or maybe a Motorola...

Yes, that's all well and dandy, but I don't enjoy rooting too much. I know by not rooting you can't unlock the complete magic of Android, but I would rather have a Nexus with stock Android than root all of my phones to get it.

Plus, there's still that thing about the design... I just don't like it like I though I would, it seems great on pictures, but when I saw it in video it looks awfully different and unappealing.

You know what? I agree, but if you root you won't have to deal with that at all. Imagine running STOCK Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean on that device.

I happen to think it looks very good & the overall performance of the Qualcomm quad-core S4 Pro is VERY, VERY evident. To me this device is extremely compelling & something totally unexpected from LG. To have the brawn & the looks in one package ESPECIALLY from LG is REALLY nice.

I have to say this phone can be a sleeper hit & something that can put LG in the limelight. It is a very sexy device!

Yes, I know, but I never like compromising my warranty.

To each his own I guess, in the press pictures it looked better than on actual video in my opinion; not that it's a bad looking device, just not my cup of tea so to speak. Yes, it is VERY fast, but there's still that problem I have with LG's UI, and my lack of will to root...

For an LG, this is a VERY VERY nice device, like, mind blowing. But when compared to everything else, it's just really nice (notice lack of caps and double "very"s). And it's a huge step in the right direction for the company. But, for me, it's just not quite there yet. I have yet to find the perfect device that I don't need to root or jailbreak, get an extended battery for, or walk outside to be able to get a signal again.

I needed an extended battery for my Sensation, but I liked Sense and it held a signal relatively well; my GS2 does great on battery, but Touchwiz is terrible and the signal drops whenever I put it in my pocket; my iPhone 4 (yes, I'm a former iPhone user) was boring so I jailbroke it, battery was ok, but I had that antenna-gate problem. Never really had the "perfect" smartphone experience just yet. Hopefully the next Nexus will fix my problems.

All is well and fine...just one thing don't like>>> The Camera!
I don't like that square-boxy look of it.

LG just did its best to make this phone. I believe this phone will change the image of this company in the smartphone market.

Best of luck LG it is really a superb device....!!!

Don't you insult John like that! Insult Ray... Jk. But yeah, I'm not aware of any phone that can zoom in and out of video either. John should look up on his facts! Or maybe I'm mistaken
