LG Optimus G




LG Electronics is still in the battlefield after all. These days, looking at Apple and Samsung fighting each other in the markets and courtrooms seem monotonous to geeks and tech fans. Luckily, Nokia is still hanging in there with its Windows phones and then there is LG.

The South Korean company has launched its new flagship smartphone known as Optimus G. It will be out in Korean stores from next week and arrive on Singapore shores only a few months later, maybe?

The first impression of Optimus G makes it look promising and has the potential to rival the iPhone or Galaxy S III. I particularly like its clean look when turned off and the crystal-like design on the back.

Optimus G draws influence from LG's Prada series and it looks like another target for Apple to file a suit against. However, since Prada phones originated before the iPhone made an appearance in the market, the Optimus G may make Apple reconsider taking any legal actions.

The most commendable new feature of LG's latest gadget is the QSlide feature. It allows users to hide their current app in the background while handling another task or you can also view two apps juxtaposing each other.

Optimus G is shorter and less broad than Samsung's Galaxy S III so it should make it easier for people to squeeze it into their pockets. It may possibly be the star product from LG this year and my new phone when it comes to Singapore.
