*** The Official LG Star / Optimus 2x Thread****

LG Star

Anyone been looking at this BEAST of a phone? LG are trying to get back into the high end smartphone amrket with a 4 inch dual core tegra phone with 8MP camera.

Engadget recently had a play and this is what they said.

. Basically, Tegra 2 will give anything your current phone's running an inferiority complex. J.

This is seriously shaping up to be one of next year's highlight devices (and if it isn't, it just means 2011 will be a spectacular year in smartphones). We'd almost call it a return to form for LG, but then the Korean company has never really had the sort of form the Star's exhibiting -- it's never led from the front in the way this handset promises to do

Here is a quadrant score on a prototype device

That Quadrant score is ~300 less than the Desire HD. Shame!

You may score more with custom roms etc but not on stock I bet , hell I had 2230 on the galaxy s with a stock rom.

Django x2 · 16 Dec 2010 at 14:41

Bobmunkhouse · 16 Dec 2010 at 15:37

Similar to what i was about to say myself...the fact that its made by LG is a fail imo...LG handsets arent exactly made very well.

Nice specs though on it..tegra chipset....

Looks like it could be a great multimedia device. Let's hope that they add a lot of video codecs!

kona786 · 17 Dec 2010 at 16:18

will be looking forward to the full review on this... and great new phones to come in the new year. Roll on April...

Hate the back of the phone with a passion.

sarge78 · 2 Jan 2011 at 01:35

Just seen this LG teaser, must be getting close now!

JBod · 2 Jan 2011 at 09:27

That benchmark is considerably slower than the DesireHD. Plus having using the Toshiba tablet with the Tegra I am less than impressed.

Plus it is LG, after the Viewty... never again.

Wicksta · 2 Jan 2011 at 10:46

Quadrant should be banned from the market, I can't believe how many people consider it's results any use. I can get my HTC Desire to a score of over 3000 but it means nothing.

sarge78 · 2 Jan 2011 at 12:50

Yep, it's a poor benchmark... but how did you get 3000 with a Desire?

Looks like Nokia designed the back of it!
