Although it has been on the market for several months and is already beginning to talk about its successor, the LG Optimus G smartphone continues to show that its hardware is not out of date Not at all. The proof of this we have from the first moment that we begin to interact with the terminal, showing at all times a fluidity that few phones can boast today.
The culprit that the LG Optimus G is so fluid is its pSnapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor that works at a frequency of 1,5Ghz. The 2GB of RAM they also help to be able to enjoy a large number of open applications without the system suffering the least.
After testing your hardware with the Antutu benchmark, we see that the LG Optimus G is at the top of the most powerful Android terminals and it is only surpassed by more modern terminals such as the Samsung Galaxy S4, the Xperia Z, the HTC One and, to a lesser extent, Google's Nexus 4.
In addition to demonstrating raw power, the LG Optimus G is also marked by its magnificent 4,7-inch display with TRUE HD IPS + panel. The viewing angles are fantastic and the resolution of 1280 × 768 pixels is more than enough to achieve a density of pixels per inch of 318. As we say, the image quality displayed by the screen of this smartphone is magnificent, boasting of some colors vivid and bright that make everything look more beautiful.
Logically, with a screen of such dimensions, the size of the terminal is determined by the display. The LG Optimus G measures 131.9 × 68.9 × 8.5 millimeters and its weight is 145 grams. This forces us to use the terminal with two hands Unless we have big hands as is my case, even so, because its surface is quite slippery, it is recommended to hold it with one hand while we handle it with the other.
If we talk about the design of the terminal, the LG Optimus G shows sober but very elegant lines. The front displays a smooth, all-black finish when the screen is off. The side frame has some chrome accents and the rear has a glossy look with a varying dot pattern depending on the incidence of light. Overall, the LG Optimus G is very pleasant to the eye and to the touch, although it is also quite fond of fingerprints.
At the software level, the phone It comes from the factory with Android 4.1.2 and has a series of functionalities that LG itself has incorporated to this phone to make it more complete. For example, with QuickMemo we can take notes at any time and operate the terminal normally while we see what we have written in the background. When making video we can apply a zoom of up to 5x and the taking of photographs can be done remotely with the only help of our voice and the pronunciation of a keyword to activate the trigger.
La 2.100 mAh battery is enough to last a day's work, always talking about normal use. The screen is large and its bright panel accounts for most of the consumption. There is an Eco mode that we can customize to our liking and that automatically deactivates certain functions of the phone.
Finally, the photographic section is also worth mentioning. The rear camera has a 13 megapixel sensor and it is accompanied by a small LED flash for those moments in which the ambient brightness is scarce. The front camera is 1,3 megapixels, enough to record video at 720 and have good quality video calls.
Today, the Optimus G is still a terminal to take into account if we are looking for performance and quality, in addition, the passage of the months has caused its price to fall and now it can be purchased in some stores for less than 400 euros, a very tempting figure.
