THE LG OPTIMUS 4X HD ($560 unlocked)
is LG’s first quad-core model. Powered by an Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, it also
has a 4.7-inch display with a 1280-by-720-pixel resolution. The Optimus 4X HD
is available in Europe, but so far LG hasn't announced any plans for North
America.
Superthin at 0.35 inch thick, the 4X
HD has what LG calls a “True HD IPS” display.
Blacks look deep, colors are vivid, and whites seem bright. The screen suffers
from oversaturation, though. Details usually were quite sharp in photos, but
text rendering wasn't perfect.

LG Optimus 4X HD |
Nvidia's Tegra 3 processor actually
has a smaller fifth core to help phones conserve battery life, handling
Less-demanding tasks such as active standby.
On some benchmarks, the 4X HD
outperformed rivals like the Samsung Galaxy S III. And its quad-core power
becomes abundantly clear in gaming: Graphics-heavy games on the 4X HD played
smoothly and looked terrific.
After two passes in our tests, the
Optimus 4X had an average battery life of 6 hours, 28 minutes. It runs the Android
Ice Cream Sandwich operating system with an LG- branded user interface.
It also comes with built-in NFC
(near-field communications) for mobile payments.
Overall, the LG Optimus 4X HD has what
it takes to compete with other top-of-the-line Android phones, and I hope that
LG brings a version to the United States.
