LG's flagship quad-core smartphone includes top-shelf specifications that impressed us. It boasts a 4.7 HD display (1280x720), a 2GB RAM, and up to 80GB of end-user memory (16GB internal plus 64GB MicroSD, 16GB memory card included). This particular variant, however, only comes with an 8-megapixel camera (another version of Optimus G includes a bigger 13-megapixel camera).
On-paper Star rating: 
The LG Optimus G can record HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) movies. Awesome! But we couldn't determine whether it had an HDMI port or not. Granted, HDMI (which lets you connect to your HDTV), is not an absolute necessity, but it seems like a desirable feature on an HD phone.

It's frustrating that we were not able to find information about its weight.
It boasts a larger-than-average, 4.7-inch display, with a resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels.
A memory card (16GB MicroSD) is pre-installed or included in the box.
The Optimus G includes a large internal memory (16000MB), but it may sometimes be more interesting to buy a phone with an included memory card instead, since the memory card can then be reused in a future cell phone.
It includes a high-megapixel camera (8-megapixel) with the following options: Auto-focus, Panorama, Zoom, Time Catch Shot, Say Cheese shot, Live shot.

Its 600 minutes of talk time is above the average. Even if talk time ratings are attributed by the manufacturers with no standard testing method, this is still an indication that the LG Optimus G is likely to last longer than other handsets.
