LG Optimus 4X HD P880 review: Firing on all fours - read the full textLast year LG was in pole position in the dual-core game with the Optimus 2X. It was the phone everyone looked up to, before there was a Galaxy S II and before there was an HTC Sensation. There was obviously no rush this time although, to be fair, LG did announce well on time...

Samsung's specialty is its consistent updating (well unless you buy really low-end phones. Mid-ranges like Ace 2 and S advance are still being updated to jellybean)

Hi,

I just received my new 4X HD from amazon.com and after using/testing it for a couple of days I can tell I'm really satisfied.

First of all, migration from my GBread Samsung was a kids game (sorry — Spanish idiom). I used MyPhoneExplorer to backup and sync all my vital data to and fro. The rest was moved through a WiFi network connection and with the valuable help of the File Manager app.

The first thing I noticed was it's sleekness and reduced weight, which was almost the same of my old Samsung (0"7 smaller screen). Then you notice that the large and crystal-clear screen it wears is really accurate and easy to read from. I have not found yet any brightness/contrast issues, even under the sunlight.

Using it, many operations which were smooth and slow — even those I blamed on sluggish network connections became really immediate ones, lacking that prior nonsense smoothness.

I'm still geting used to the new UI, but it's being quite straightforward except for a couple of details.

About the audio issue: I did not find it as bad as described in the review. Could it be due either to a HW improvement — which not look feasible — or to a test unit-related problem, but it does not happen with mine. The built-in speaker quality is that of a high-end transistor radio, as most of them. Then, through my 2.1 speakers it releases a wide range response and good quality, comparable to my other MP3 platforms — iPhone 3GS, Creative ZEN, Nokia xPressMusic and the Samsung. Should I connect my Sennheiser headphones, the frequency response is extended and I can hear solid but controlled bass and clear, quite transparent and detailed mid to high-frequency response.

I won't say it's audiophile-grade, but for me it's a good source enough to listen through your home or car hifi/stereo.

I will update if relevant.

Greetings,
Juan

I just recently bought the LG 4X HD at E-bay at a good price.This cellphone rocks and overall great value. It's blazing fast and has a ton of features. It's really handsome and stylish. And it's right up there with the best of them. Check it out!

It is not true that this smartphone Offer bad audio, much depends on the headphones you use and also have to take into account that the native music application provides 7-band equalizer, few devices have this feature, I must say that the sound is good both in the headphones as the speaker or plug in a pair of high-powered speakers, excuse my bad English

Dear Gsmarena, please make the audio test again. I would like to see if the results will be the same. Who wants to buy a phone which has a terrible audio quality?

This phone is a giant in terms of its quad core and battery. The extra unlocked core in the processor is obviously good. But the best thing I liked about it is the UI which is on par with Sense.

I just sold my HTC one X and bought a LG optimus 4x. Trust me, its a great device. Brilliant screen, never hangs, never heats up badly(HTC was an iron box). It feels solid and smooth. Finally LG has come with a great device. grow up. Get rid of iPhone and Samsung and try something new for once. You will never regret buying this phone.

LG Optimus 4X HD has its own name and design that can be boast of. It's not a Samsung Galaxy S III or HTC One X, but it runs quad core. Definitely, the design is also good. You can check this video:

If you want a cheaper smartphone with quad-core running processor, definitely, LG Optimus 4X HD is a good choice.
