LG one-ups Galaxy S 4 ads, reminds the Optimus G is ‘here 4 you now’
Share:
LG’s ads are slightly bigger and in a blow to Samsung remind watchers that unlike the not-yet-launched S 4, the Optimus G is ‘here 4 you now.’
LG’s billboards are both higher and brighter than Samsung’s and LG’s second message is also a little jab at Samsung saying "It'll take more than 4 to equal one LG Optimus G."
Take a look at what that little billboard war looks like now.

LOL just look at the LG Optimus G Pro and the Note 2, a fail on LG's turf for design originality.
30. abdane posted on 14 Mar 2013, 05:48 7
that same old junk, will be the best android device this year, don't tell me HTC or Sony or whatever, the galaxy wins the battle every year, GS2 and Sensation, GS3 and One X, and also GS4 and One... whether you like it or not.
56. iDroid8 posted on 14 Mar 2013, 12:46 1
even though the One is completely different, logic still says that GS4 will sell better

Samsung must sue LG for copying their Note II. Ahh that useless Optimus G Pro

LG banner should go like this:
"No updates 4 You"

LG = Life's Gone is very a psycho company copied every way Samsung made.
16. _Bone_ posted on 14 Mar 2013, 04:09 9
It's hliarious. The G Pro looks EXACTLY like the Note II, it's size and battery is exactly like the Note II's, it has similar system sounds like the Note II, similar multi-view function like the Note II, similar eye-tracking soon introduced like in the Note II, handwriting recognition (without sylus) like in the Note II, similar beam functions like in the Note II, similar cover like the Note II's with a similar name (Quick Cover :D ). The series copies the Name Letter Number system too (Optimus G / G2 / G Pro (like S Plus) and now they are copying ads.
I guess Samsung reached Apple's status after all. :D

It's also hilarious that the galaxy S3S looks just like the galaxy S3 too.

50. akki20892 posted on 14 Mar 2013, 09:17 2
yep............Yeah LG you got it men.......keep it up........Lol
23. _Bone_ posted on 14 Mar 2013, 04:35 7
It really isn't. All ppl. see is another giant "4" on the very day the "Galaxy S4" will be revealed, therefore psychologically they will associate that with the Samsung device (they will be brainwashed with the name S4)
It's cheeky and well played by LG and I like them giving Samsung it's own medicine (Samsung ads upon BB10 launch), but it's just another "4" sign when a product with a "4" is released, free advertisement for Samsung.
Now if LG said "In B4 the next plastic thing" or something, now THAT would've been hilarious!

Lg Optimus G is a industry JOKE with piss poor battery life a LG trait in all it's products. Lg Nexus 4 also has poor battery life compared to the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2. Lg needs to focus on it's pitiful standing in the android landscape no matter how much Google tries to help them LG sales are comical at best. Samsung sold 213 million Galaxy S3's and Galaxy Note 2's in 2012 that's 40% market share and the closest android manufacturer to Samsung is Hauwei at 6% market share. Guess LG is below 6% how is that a possible threat to Samsung????. Can't help but laugh LG is a industry JOKE looking for attention copying Samsung and praying something sticks. True android users will never buy LG we already know they are useless.

And please bring that wanna be Lg Optimus G pro to the states so we can laugh at the wanna be Galaxy Note 2. Samsung is the creators of this category not the pretenders chasing. The Galaxy Note 2 is the BEST ultimate all purpose productivity device ever made since the inception of android period no device on the market today compares. The Galaxy Note 3 will be the only thing that will beat it. The Lg Optimus G pro is nothing more than a large screen phone nice try thou.

LG devices sucks ass , I have an LG Viewty KU990R camera phone , Bought it 5 years ago . It has a great camera . Its like a camera with crappy phone functions on it .
But , Google Nexus 4 > GS3
Also , Note is not the creator of the phablet category , its the dell streak 5 , get your facts right

Richard Yarrell, please shut up...you couldn't get more biased and one sided. You wouldn't know an "industry joke" if it smacked you in the face

not to mention their devices (including flagships) that never gets updated !
17. andro. posted on 14 Mar 2013, 04:11 1
Its good to see Lg trying,android is all about choice of top handsets. That saying the trying to say the Optimus g is the next big thing is a bit funny alright
53. Gpro4me posted on 14 Mar 2013, 10:01 1
LG Phones are now BECOME the BEST & AFFORDABLE !
Optimus G & G PRO for a high end Flagship,
F7(LTE3) for high Mid range Phone
L -II Series for Mig range phone
well we know most of you will not agree ... but that's the truth maybe it will hurt most of you...
LG IS DOING VERY GOOD IN MOBILE INNOVATION...

hey richard, I've only one question...
''have you even tried the optimus g???''
I'm sure that you have not..and you are just the biggest SAMSUNG-BIASED person in here..!
Its not a bad thing to love a company, but its crap to say s**t about things that you have not even experienced..!
10. Adithya7184 posted on 14 Mar 2013, 03:59 8
lol......first they copied Note II's design, then eye tracking...and now this s**t....dear Lg, create your own marketing strategy rather copying others...bulls**t....
20. jroc74 posted on 14 Mar 2013, 04:31 2
Ok....they're copying eye tracking....and yet it might not even launch with the GS4.
Article on here today about a company doing eye tracking software about to be made available to Android and iOS.
Seems like Sammy doesnt have the market cornered on that feature.
13. MartianMe posted on 14 Mar 2013, 04:05 7
I smell fear from LG..is funny how apple and nokia do the same thing..i guess they're feeling the heat from samsung even though the GS4 is gonna blow.
19. Neurone posted on 14 Mar 2013, 04:26 1
"With the release of S4, samsung is coming out of apple's shadow" , but moving into LG's , atleast under billboards....
21. big.e927 posted on 14 Mar 2013, 04:32 15
Samsung is number #1 for a reason and even though LG and Samsung are both Korean, LG's technology, innovation and originality pale in comparison. LG has a reason to be scared. If anything, I appreciate how HTC manages to take the high road and avoid pety marketing strategies like Nokia, Apple, and now LG. I hope HTC does well this year, but no matter what, Samsung will steal the show. :D
26. chupoltorero posted on 14 Mar 2013, 04:48 5
well said but HTCs marketing sucks big time...and thier device is pricey...i was abetting for either HTC or sony to chip off some of market sahre away of samsung but still unable to see any strong marketing capmaing for both...
28. big.e927 posted on 14 Mar 2013, 05:07 3
The Sony Xperia Z costs about 100 bucks more than the HTC One even though feature-wise, Sony compromised some.specs for the durability.
29. darkskoliro posted on 14 Mar 2013, 05:30 2
HTC doesnt rip on other companies for a reason...Taiwanese tradition is very humble and doing such things would be a disgrace...
27. big.e927 posted on 14 Mar 2013, 05:05 1
@chupoltorero Yeah, I suppose that they could put alittle more effort into their marketing. But I do recall seeing a commercial they made for the HTC J Butterfly for China. Instead of flaunting all the specs or making things seem too complicated for the average user to comprehend, they made it so that people could see the practical use of a high end cell phone in a every day basis, yet made it seem intuitive, even the folks here in @phonearena really enjoyed it. HTC deserves to be 2nd only to Samsung, I feel that they've done more than just deserve it. Hopefully this year goes well for them, they always have overall good handsets with a premium feel, just that again, poor marketing in the states.

you can tell LG is scared xD
whatever LG is gonna do, it's not going to work, there not going to be better than Samsung
even the dumbest person knows LG is not "copying", but" "EXTREMELY"" copying Samsung
