LG Optimus G Review Tech Blog with a focus on personal and consumer technology. With titans like HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 expected soon, and flagships coque galaxy j6 2019 like the BlackBerry Z10 and Sony Xperia Z already coque rhinoshield galaxy note 8 on shelves (not to mention the evergreen iPhone 5), it easy for devices like the LG Optimus G to flow unnoticed under the radar. But is it the David that will bring down the Goliaths Or is it another me too that will sink without a trace It took its time coming, but the Optimus G has landed on Indian shores and we try to answer coque iphone 7 plus ferrari that question as we take it for a test drive. Video Design and hardware The Optimus G follows a very similar design language as the Nexus 4. A blocky, industrial design and a black monoblock chassis mean it not going to win you any second glances. However, the smartphone doesn feel cheap or plasticky at all, feels quite coque iphone 6s indienne solid, and thanks to its 4.7 inch screen, is fairly comfortable to hold. The crystal pattern on the glass coated rear is possibly its only design highlight, along with a thin chrome accent that runs around the bezel. The rear does collect fingerprints and smudges quite easily. Of course, this is where you find the 13 megapixel camera, with the square lens protruding slightly and making it prone to scratches. [nggallery id=18]At front, the 4.7 inch display dominates proceedings, and there are three backlit capacitive keys placed below it. A notification LED is also provided, placed above the screen adjacent to the 1.2 megapixel front shooter. The battery is sealed inside the device and as far as ports are concerned, you find a power / sleep key on the right, placed near the top. coque huawei The left is where the conjoined volume key is located, along with a microSIM tray that can be pulled out with help of the included eject tool or a thin pin the orifice is too tiny, so a bent paper clip doesn really do the job. The top is home to the créer sa coque iphone 6 plus 3.5mm headphone socket coque iphone 6s silicone stitch and a noise cancellation mic. Missing something In case you haven figured it coque galaxy s9 plus disney out by now, there no microSD slot for memory expansion and coque iphone 6 marbre silicone you stuck with the 32GB provided. Overall, it an underwhelming package design wise. Rating: 7/10The screen may not be at par with some of the rival flagships we seen recently, both in terms of size or the resolution, but that doesn mean it can deliver. As most of the new high end Android smartphones are touching coque iphone 5c clochette or even crossing the 5 inch mark and proudly flaunting their 1080p screens, the Optimus G can only boast of a 4.7 inch, 320 ppi, 1280 x 768 display. However, the IPS+ display paul and joe coque iphone is quite vibrant, with good color reproduction and decent viewing angles. coque iphone Possibly the only niggle we have with it is reduced sunlight legibility because it a tad too reflective, but otherwise, it extremely capable displaying sharp text and vibrant graphics. Staying abreast of the megapixel race, LG bestowed the Optimus G with a chart topping 13 megapixel snapper and one that includes most of the frills we come to expect. iphone 11 case In keeping with the customization theme, even the camera UI can be coque pour galaxy j7 customized with your choice of shortcuts. There control over ISO and white balance, various coque iphone 6s silicone licorne scene presets, different modes such as HDR, panorama and burst, even a catch shot that attempts to capture the moment even before you press the shutter. Consider it cheesy, but there also a feature dubbed shutter and it lets you click shots just using aimant pour coque iphone your voice with the coque iphone 6s sailor moon trigger words being cheese, smile, whisky, kimchi and LG. While we aren sure if you one of those who smile when you hear the word the feature works as long as you can mimic the recorded voice of the sweet sounding lady who attempts to samsung galaxy a80 coque guide you through this. Below are some sample pictures taken from Optimus G. They are uncompressed images and hence might take a little longer to open. [nggallery id=20]As far as quality is concerned, the camera fails to impress. coque huawei While overall quality of images coque iphone se bordeaux captured in well lit areas is generally nice, some images tend to look a tad washed out, while some look over saturated. Low light photos are riddled with noise. Video performance is not its strongest point either, especially in low light where the videos turn out overly dark. Videos captured in good ambient light are usable though, but don plan on ditching that camcorder anytime soon. Rating: 7/10Android Jelly Bean, more specifically, Android 4.1.2 is the OS of choice here, and it comes skinned coque iphone armee (heavily, we might add) with LG Optimus UI. Any device running Android device is extremely customizable, but LG has upped the ante here, making the Optimus G one of the most customizable phones straight out of the box. coque samsung Pretty much everything can be customized, from the lock screen animation, to the system font. You can also specify your own choice of four apps to be set as lock screen shortcuts. For the overall look, there are four built in themes, and you can choose from a set of different screen swipe effects. The notification bar provides access to connectivity toggles, and these can also coque samsung galaxy pocket be customized by choosing which ones you want coque iphone 6s fendt displayed and in what order. The same bar also provides a shortcut to QuickMemo, LG note taking app that lets you scribble on top of the screen. Then there are what are dubbed Apps LG own version of the Multiview mode used by Samsung. Five of them are available videos, browser, memo, calendar, and calculator and again you can select which ones you want from these and the order in which they are listed. Two of these can be used simultaneously, appearing as resizable, movable windows on the screen. What more, coque iphone rose et blanc you can even customize each one opacity in case you want to hide them for a bit. It a nifty feature, and could be useful for some. There there are a slew of the usual gestures such as flip to silence, and even screen a feature akin to Samsung Stay that keeps the screen on if the front camera detects your eyes looking at it. [nggallery id=19]Pre loaded goodies include a backup app, Polaris Office for document viewing and editing, a RemoteCall Service app for remote troubleshooting, a video editor, and Video Wiz an app that helps create video montages by integrating music, images and video clips into a single video. While you coque iphone 5c airborne can group app shortcuts into folders on any coque iphone 6 frida kahlo of the home screen per usual, you can even create folders in the main app drawer, akin to iOS and BlackBerry 10. coque iphone The LG keyboard replaces the default Android keyboard, and brings with it word correction and word prediction features, along with slide gestures to input text. If you have small hands, there even a one handed mode that compresses and docks the keyboard to left or right in portrait mode, depending upon your preferences. Rating: 8/10 Performance and battery life For all its customization options and its Optimus UI, there no negative impact of LG software tricks on performance. Helped by the speedy 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro quad core chip and 2GB of RAM, the phone flies through apps and makes mince meat of everything thrown at it. An Adreno 320 GPU handles the coque iphone 6 gars graphics. Animations coque iphone stitch pomme are super smooth, and overall the smartphone is fun to use, with no lag whatsoever, even while multitasking. Connectivity options include everything from dual band wi fi to NFC, MHL to DLNA, and even Miracast. USB on the go is missing, and this is notable in the light of no memory expansion, with only 25GB of the 32GB storage being available to the user. Battery life isn too bad, and you should be able to get a day worth of medium usage from its 2,100 mAh pack. A customizable power saver mode helps extend battery life, and there also an eco mode that switches the processor from quad core to dual core depending upon usage. 35,500 ($650) and a street price of roughly Rs. 30,990 ($570) for a sim free unit, the Optimus G is great value for money, mainly due to its solid build and top notch performance. However, at that price, the smartphone doesn really need to face the heat from any of the newer flagships, almost all of which are priced much higher. Instead, the strongest threat it faces comes from a relatively older device, the Samsung Galaxy S III. Sammy chart topper remains a compelling device, and after its recent price drop, should be available for a slightly lesser price compared to the LG Optimus G. And while it doesn match the Optimus G specs with its older chipset, 1GB of RAM and 8 megapixel camera, and feels more plasticky in comparison, it does have a pretty useful USB OTG support and a microSD slot for memory expansion. And while looks can be quite subjective, we feel it looks a tad better as well. On the other hand, the LG Optimus G rocking performance, the customization options and the better build it offers can be overlooked.
