Our Verdict:

Having fiddled with the LG Optimus G Smartphone for a week, we really like the responsiveness of the phone. With the QSlide Function, running multiple apps at one go is really a breeze and the performance of the phone was way beyond our expectations. In fact, loading games with intense graphics were pretty fast and smooth.

Images displayed on the 4.7-inch True HD IPS Plus Display were extremely sharp and lifelike and we really like how the phone optimises the battery by automatically controlling the brightness of the display. The apps that are available on the LG Optimus G Smartphone also comes in rather handy and we enjoyed using the phone very much.

Having said that, we really hope LG will consider investing more money to develop better cameras for their smartphones. Though we really like the Cheese Shutter Function on the LG Optimus G Smartphone, the images that were produced aren’t exactly the best if we were to compare it against the images produced by other smartphones. This is despite the fact that the LG Optimus G Smartphone’s camera has the highest number of megapixels as compared to the rest of their competitors.

So, if you’re looking for a smartphone that packs a punch in terms of power and productivity, and you don’t mind its mediocre onboard camera, you definitely have to choose the LG Optimus G Smartphone. The LG Optimus G Smartphone is available at all local telcos retail stores and hint hint, it’s cheaper to get it from Starhub! 🙂

LG Optimus G Smartphone Apps- Quick Translator & Safety Care [Part 4 of 5]

By delta March 13, 2013

Continuing from where we left off about the LG Optimus G Smartphone Blogbuster Series, we are going to share with you some general information about the Quick Translator and Safety Care Apps that are available on the LG Optimus G Smartphone.
Quick Translator
The Quick Translator App on the LG Optimus G Smartphone allows you to translate texts from any language to another language that you are familiar with. This is especially useful when you travel overseas and there’s a need to look up the meaning of certain texts which are presented in a language that you are unable to comprehend.

Safety Care
The Safety Care App can be very useful in times of an emergency. For instance, should you dial an emergency number such as 999 or 995, an emergency contact which you have already pre-assigned would be automatically alerted of your location. Also, should you not use your phone over a duration of time that you have pre-assigned or if your phone is running low on battery, your pre-assigned emergency contact will also be informed of your location. Hence, your pre-assigned emergency contact would be able to keep track of your last known location and inform the relevant authorities accordingly.

For a better understanding of the Quick Translator and Safety Care App, here’s a short video demonstration that we have created.

In the final part of our LG Optimus G Smartphone Blogbuster Series, we will be concluding our review of the LG Optimus G Smartphone and what we feel you should know about the LG Optimus G Smartphone!

Stay tuned!

LG Optimus G Smartphone Cheese Shutter (Camera Function)- [Part 3 of 5]

By delta March 6, 2013

There are two cameras on the LG Optimus G Smartphone; one in the rear and one in the front.
Although the front camera on the LG Optimus G Smartphone is usually used for video calls, it can also be used to take self-photos too. However, because of the front camera’s low resolution, the quality of the pictures taken are rather poor.

The rear camera of the LG Optimus G Smartphone is a 13-megapixels camera and what we really like about the camera function of the LG Optimus G Smartphone is the Cheese Shutter Function which allows user to take photographs upon mentioning words such as LG, Cheese, Whisky and etc. This Cheese Shutter Function on the LG Optimus G Smartphone is rather useful especially when you want to take self-photos without the hassle of locating any buttons or touch points.

LG Optimus G Smartphone QSlide Function [Part 2 of 5]

By delta March 2, 2013

The QSlide Function which the LG Optimus G Smartphone has is an extremely cool feature that no other Smartphones [that I know] offer till date.
With the QSlide Function, you can perform multiple tasks at one time and this really helps to improve productivity. For most of the Smartphones that are available in the market [for e.g. Apple’s iPhone, Samsung’s Galaxy, and Nokia’s Lumia], you can only perform one task at any one time. However, for the LG Optimus G Smartphone, you can perform up to 3 tasks at one time!

The QSlide Function on the LG Optimus G Smartphone only works with the following apps; they are Video, Internet, Memo, Calendar, and Calculator. This means that you can carry out any two of the apps mentioned + one other app that is not listed. For instance, you can watch a Video, surf the Internet, and send a Whatsapp Message all at the same time or you can use the calculator, write a memo, and surf Facebook! Truly remarkable indeed!

In our upcoming blog entries, we will be sharing more about the LG Optimus G Smartphone with you and what you can expect from this newly launched Smartphone. In part 1 of this LG Optimus G Blogbuster Series, we will be sharing with you some of the key specifications of the LG Optimus G Smartphone.

The LG Optimus G Smartphone can operate on the 2G/3G/4GLTE network. Hence, it can be used in any country that uses these mobile networks.

Operating System
The LG Optimus G Smartphone is running on the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean Operating System and we really like its fluid movements. There is no lag at all and by the way, the Android Jelly Bean Operating System is the latest for Smartphones.

Chipset
The LG Optimus G Smartphone is the first Quad-Core 4G LTE Smartphone to be powered by Qualcomm’s fastest performing Snapdragon S4 Processor. It offers users a maximum user experience, high performance, and better graphics quality. The Snapdragon S4 Processor also incorporates the next-generation Adreno 320 GPU for an enhanced gaming experience with faster frame rates and smoother play and support for higher HD resolution displays.

Main Display
The Main Display of the LG Optimus G Smartphone is a 4.7-inch True HD IPS Plus Display and with its widescreen display, watching movies and serial dramas can be rather satisfying. The display on the LG Optimus G Smartphone offers the sharpest and clearest image, colour accuracy and natural, non-saturated colours.

Memory
The memory capacity of the LG Optimus G Smartphone is 32GB and it is definitely enough for storing your movies, music, and photographs.

Front Camera
The 1.3 Megapixels front camera on the LG Optimus G Smartphone is useful for taking self-photos and also for video calls with your family members and friends.

Rear Camera
The rear camera on the LG Optimus G Smartphone is perhaps one of the best camera that Smartphones in the market have. With a whopping 13 Megapixels camera, it is expected to perform even better than the 8 Megapixels camera on the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3.

Battery
The 2100mAh Battery in the LG Optimus G Smartphone is un-removable and in tests conducted by LG, the LG Optimus G Smartphone can last for 335 hours on standby!

Size
Comparing between the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S3, the LG Optimus G is 0.15mm slimmer than the Samsung Galaxy S3 but thicker than the iPhone 5 by 0.85mm. With that being said, the LG Optimus G Smartphone can be slipped into pockets easily with no obstruction.

Weight
The LG Optimus G Smartphone weighs at 145g and comparing with the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3, the LG Optimus G Smartphone is slightly on the heavier side. However, this is to be expected as the LG Optimus G Smartphone packs a punch in terms of performance.

Change for Good: The Newly Launched LG Optimus G Smartphone

By delta February 18, 2013

If you haven’t heard, the LG Optimus G was launched on the 31st of January last month and I was really honoured to have been invited to the launch that took place at Gardens By The Bay.

From Launch of LG Optimus G 2013

In the current market, there are a couple of smartphones that are operating on the Android Platform and it can be quite difficult to choose one that will specifically meet your needs. However, with that being said, allow me to introduce you to some of the features [which I found pretty cool] that the LG Optimus G has to offer.

QSlide Function
QSlide Function shows two different screens simultaneously on one display. As it doesn’t show a part of the screen but the entire screen of both functions, the user can complete two tasks concurrently – such as sending a text message or searching the web while watching a video.

Dual Screen Dual Play
Dual Screen Dual Play not only allows mirroring between the smartphone and a TV, it also has the ability to display different content on each screen wirelessly. For example, a slide presentation can be displayed on the TV while the Optimus G shows the accompanying speaking notes.

Snapdragon S4 Pro Processor
The latest & best quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro Processor from Qualcomm enables Optimus G to power multiple apps quickly and display realistic high resolution images. It is 30% faster than the normal quad-core. Have the power to push the latest graphic intensive games to their limit.

As there wasn’t any opportunity for me to test and try-out the product and use it for a month; [unlike the previous LG Optimus 4xHD Launch], my experience of using the phone is only limited to what I saw, what I heard, and what I touched during the LG Optimus G Smartphone Launch. For a very comprehensive review of the LG Optimus G Smartphone, check out Asia Cnet’s review of the LG Optimus G Smartphone via the following link: http://asia.cnet.com/product/lg-optimus-g-46728201.htm

If you are thinking of getting a smartphone and you want to breakaway from the Apple or Samsung crowd, you might want to consider getting the LG Optimus G Smartphone.
