Well I see it this way, it is better to have it then not to have it.

Eh, I would rather not pay an extra 15% or so just because I want something that I don't need. Same thing goes for my TVs and Laptops.

Well, the more choices the better....The people who want to pay the premium can.

Lg already has a phone with a Tegra 3 in it so what the hell are you talking about, plus s4 significantly more powerful then the Tegra 3 bro and I'm sure the s4 pro will dual boot too especially since it's a Qualcomm processor.

It's to help with future updates. Yes, the dual Krait can run just about anything, but it might not be as smooth when the next version of Android comes out. And the Nexus S did run incredibly fast; past tense. When the ICS update rolled out, it was very laggy.

1.LG didn't update their Optimus 2X to ICS, you expect them to update this?

2.I am talking about Nexus S on Jelly Bean

I thought it is going to get the update, just in certain countries? And even so, I would certainly hope they would update this. The Optimus 2X wasn't exactly the best Android phone. Yes, it was the first dual-core, but it had a lot of bugs because well, LG is LG.

Also, the Optimus 2X released with Froyo, so the fact that it was updated twice (in some countries) is pretty nice, considering that a most devices only get 1 year of support unless it's a Nexus.

I've actually never seen the Nexus S run Jelly Bean, but I can guess from Project Butter it made it a lot better than the ICS update it got.

To use your phone as a game console and a desktop computer replacement?
It's just a matter of hooking it up to HDTV and accessories (wirelessly), and side-loading Ubuntu

People on here tend to complain about how LG is lagging behind, Im happy LG is trying to get up with the big boys because for me they tend to be really reliable until their phones get outdated by other better ones. maybe with this phone, after a few updates and maybe some rooting and adjusting this could be a really great phone.

It's called future-proofing my friend. You don't want to change your phone every now and then, do you? Why have a dual core if a quad core is existing? It makes your devices future-proof for the future iteration of Android OS which will most probably, need a higher specification for it to run smoothly.

yeah but Apple will sue LG. This one's rectangular.

it looks good from the front, but the back... eeek.

specs are quite futureproof but design? disaster. i hope it will get better to the final product

Son of a bitch!! Why is this not a Nexus? LG's s**tty skin ruins it!

at least they got rid of the tacky prada textures for this one.

32. u-suck-more posted on 25 Aug 2012, 21:03 0 0

but replaced it with a worser back -.-

33. KingKurogiii posted on 25 Aug 2012, 22:22 0 0

i don't think it's so bad. it's definitely LG which is no complement i'm afraid but i definitely didn't like that prada.

LG needs a new designer as well... What is up with them?

yeah, i just got my mom one. i'll probably flash MIUI 4.1 on it after she gets a feel for what it's like stock.
