And LG is best on design, so...if you don't like it, you have a problem. LG's design team has received design team of the year award numerous times and always keeps on innovating, the design, the screen and other features.

great specs, but i don't like the design, i think if lg add a powerful flash like xenon flash would be great.

I only want gsmarena to add HOX+ to the coprasion they said they will do between optimus g to the galaxy s3
i want to make sure i will buy the best the worlds has to offer
Besides that i am afraid that this phone will be like the atrix and will come and stay for along time with a locked bootloader thar will make things for developers a hard life and will slow down or erase the development completely so i think i will be able to chose because as much as i want to buy lg phone which looks great they do have a bad history

Or you are another hater and you can't make the difference between reality and fiction, like sammy fanboys do? And the benchmarks really don't matter a lot for a smartphone user. But when you have a phone that dominates every single benchmark test(when it will have JB), then the benchmarks really matter. But until then, spot the differences, because these phones don't come close to each other at all. One is the best, and the other is good. Period! In time you will understand...

dont the same front facing camera not the same battery some changes at the software
And the nvidia chip isnt overclocked its and not the same chip
And it might be that the ram is not on the same speed anyway
I saw the benchmark on antutu too which it seems like HOX+ is slightly
Above the optimus g so i would like too to see the comprasion of those two
And one last thing the video recording is 30 fps and not 24 fps

The only phone that can be at almost the same level with the Optimus G is the ASUS Padfone 2, but ASUS shouldn't be trusted in the phone market, because they have not history in doing that.

And again I tell you. Why do you think Samsung had that much of a success these years? Ok, from what I saw these months, people tend to judge a phone by its OS and the majority of them blast a phone not having the latest build running on it. Why people? Tell me why? This is all you get when you pay those bucks? An operating system, not more? You should feel excited that you have a camera, a phone, a stereo, and a pocketable but powerful computer at your disposal, all in one small gadget. Why do we need to discuss these things over and over again, reaching no conclusion? Why can't we be happy that we can choose from numerous devices that suit our needs. Maybe we like the LG, Iphone, HTC or Samsung's design, but why do we keep showing to the others that our phone is better and their phone is rubbish, even if we all know this isn't true. But I know that none of you will listen to what I said, so nevermind...keep fighting, let's see what you win by doing this.

I can make you a short comparison between HTC One X+ and LG Optimus G by saying which spec is better on the Optimus G and One X+(if it has one better than the G; I think it will have, so let's go):

1. OG has LTE
2. OG is thinner
3. OG has better screen resolution and more ppi
4. OG has 2 GB of RAM
5. OG has 13 MP camera, which is better, anyway you take it
6. OX has JB(at least for a small period, the HTC nails this one)
7. OG has better CPU
8. OG supports Flash
9. OG supports Java.

The design and build quality are subjective, so I won't make these part of the comparison.

An extended and more detailed comparison will be made by GSMArena.

LG miss the spot again - Potentially great phone let down my only 32gb and no microsd card support. Fine for a 8mb camera but not a 13mb.
