Good looking phone and the specs are a killer.

LG Stuns With the Most Powerful Smartphone on the Planet: the LG Optimus G
- Thread starter dgstorm
- Start date
The Snapdragon S1 (Nexus One, HTC Evo, Droid Incredible) was the heating pad. It had a 65nm die size - making it eat batteries and be hot! The Snapdragon S4 in this thing is the smallest die size out right now at 28nm. It will probably be cooler than any other phone out now besides the other S4's (One X and Galaxy SIII). That will help the battery life a lot too. Talk to someone with a Galaxy SIII and ask them about the battery life. It's probably better than anything other smartphone right now there except the Razr Maxx. Also, the S4 quad can, I think, shut down cores it doesn't need to save power. That's huge! It can run on two or three cores. The Tegra 3 can run only on it's fifth Ninja core or all four - plus the Tegra 3 is 40nm. This should run much cooler than the Tegra 3.

I'm not so concerned about (1) because I'm boring I guess and just stick with official roms. I am a little concerned about (2) but Sony really turned things around when they got serious about Android. This phone could very well be a sign that LG is getting serious about Android. As far as (3) goes I think it will be ok. The processor shouldn't take much power at all since it's 28nm and apparently only uses needed cores and can shut down the others to save power. I'm not even sure that dual-core S4's do this so this phone may be able to use less power than the Galaxy SIII. The thing that concerns me is according to the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 info on Wikipedia there is no quad-core S4 with integrated radio's. That could be fine as long as they're still 28nm. All that to say if the have a good implementation of the radio's, LTE and otherwise, the battery life should be fine.

Sounds Amazing. I thought the same thing when I bought my LG Spectrum but I was burned so bad with horrible support for this phone, still waiting on ICS for the Spectrum when phones are starting to get Jelly Bean. Not sure I want to Invest in another LG again.
I'm surprised Apple hasn't sued them because it's a phone...
I own both an SGS3 and a One X. Both run S4 and both have not heating issues whatsoever, and they both get me about 17-20 hours on a full charge (calls,txt,fb,pandora,wifi,etc.). Crazy ass qualcomm man, now we see why they were so reluctant to aid Samnsung in integrating LTE into their Quad-core proc. So much drama in that industry lol.
Winter's coming...in-pocket handwarmer anyone? :biggrin:
Actually, the S4 Snapdragon line is supposed to be the "less hotter" of the CPUs for smartphones out right now. There's a video where they did a "butter melting test". Yes, I said "less hotter" instead of "cooler" because coldness is technically not a measurement for temperature in science.Also, most people feel the warmness from their batteries of their phones more compared to the CPUs.
That center phone is the Droid RAZR MAXX. In the initial pic for the middle phone you can see the top of the phone and the three connections, MicroUSB, MicroHDMI and 1/8" Headphone. Also, in the thermal imaging you can see the Motorola Aluminum badge at the top as a wide rectangular portion in dark blue (see below).

It's called Optimus, I believe .
It's actually called the Kia Optima, and I own one. I also own a Kia Sportage. Both are amazing technology and extremely reliable. I have owned about 18 cars in my life, and this is the best one by far that I have ever had. In fact, Kia has an excellent reputation in the car industry right now, although that may not have always been the case. If you do a bit of research you will find that Kia is partially owned by Hyundai, and both have the best warranty of any vehicle in the industry. They are also highly rated by several different consumer agencies, including Consumer Reports.
Perhaps perception and reality don't always match up, and perhaps that is the same thing with LG. We have an LG Viper in our "labs" and it is a pretty impressive device for the price. Just because LG might have been poor in the past, does not mean that all of their products will always be that away. Maybe they have that "Rocky-style eye of the tiger" and will eventually make the best phone that money can buy. You never know...
