These are beginners phones for my young boys. I want them to be responsible and show me they can take care of them. They are a very good size for thier pockets. Phones are stylish and easy to use. Love the HDMI ability to hook up to large screen T.V.'s. Batteries only stay charged 7 to 8 hours. For such a small phone I expected better. Possible the batteries maybe old sitting on the shelf as these phones are discontinued models.

I got it for my teenage daughter, which at this point just needs a phone we figured out how to manipulate it to function so I can call and text her when needed - all else is limited (even within its own limitations per model/capacity etc) It was listed as working and only issues were cosmetic. However, the phone does not charge properly and it did not come with the sd card as claimed. The phone had issues restarting or dying within 30 min after being fully charged. She finally figured out that the charger sent with the phone wasn't the problem but it was the phone and even after using several new chargers, she has to prop it a certain way for it to charge fully and to leave it an hour longer than the when it states it's 100% full. I waited too long to send it back, as we were trying to fix it so we decided to eat the cost of this and soon will be buying another phone.Read full review

Wanted to move up to a real Smart Phone. Looked around for something affordable, but I also needed something with good specs. After doing some research and reading numerous reviews, it all came down to either the LG G2x or Samsung Galaxy S 4G. Visited T-Mobile store to see and touch both phones. Both were very nice. Samsung has better screen, but it also includes Touch Wiz interface. LG has better processor, theoretically better camera, and nearly stock Android. Had disappointing experience with manufacturer's custom interface on my Android tablet, so LG G2x won. I've had this phone a week now, and for the most part, I love this phone. Stock Android interface is actually pretty easy to use. Much better than anything I've used so far. Samsung's Super AMOLED screen may technically be the better screen, but I'm very happy with this one. Touchscreen is very responsive and accurate. I always hated trying to text on the Nokia. I was always correcting lots of typos because the touch screen just wasn't very accurate. I've only taken 1 picture so far, so I really cannot rate the camera. Seems okay to me though. My only real complaints so far are battery life and speaker phone quality. I'm used to going up to a week between charges on the Nokia even with with several hours of talk time. I've already had to recharge this phone twice since the initial charge. I realize most people recharge their smart phones daily, so for me to go 2 - 3 days between charges is actually pretty good. My other complaint is the speaker phone sound quality. At higher volume levels, I found the speaker phone sounds distorted. I never had this problem with the Nokia. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase of this phone. I probably would not promote this phone to friends and co-workers, just because I'd rather have them be a bit envious of me, but if asked directly, yes I recommend this phone.Read full review
I love the phone. The screen is great, user interface is easy to figure out, and the processor is fast. However, the OS on this phone was not good. Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) still has some bugs. My biggest complaint was I could not configure the APN settings and could not access my data plan. I actually returned the phone, but because of the OS not the device. I have purchased another phone with Gingerbread, and original OS. ICS was much faster and performed better for certain functions. The T-mobile OS is very heavy with T-mobile bloat programs. Over all I love the phone, and recommend it to any one looking for a good smart phone in the $200 used range.
Hardware There aren't any major differences in hardware between the Optimus 2X and the G2x, other than the T-Mobile logo replacing the LG branding below the earpiece. Our G2x review unit came with a brown / bronze-colored battery cover instead of a matte black one like its European sibling -- that's about it. What we're looking at then, is the same elegant (if not understated) design and superb build quality as the Optimus 2X. It's clear that LG put some effort into making this a premium smartphone by focusing on the details. A glass panel with beautifully beveled sides covers the entire front of the phone, and conceals a 4-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen, a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, a cutout for the earpiece, the proximity and light sensors, plus the four standard Android keys (menu, home, back, and search). Strangely, these capacitive buttons take up a huge amount of real-estate below the display (almost an inch), making the G2x as tall as the HTC Thunderbolt. The handset feels great in the hand thanks to the matte soft-touch finish and curved edges of the battery door, which takes up the entire back. It's hefty enough to be substantial without being heavy, all while maintaining a svelte 10mm profile. A tasteful strip of brushed aluminum displaying a machined "with Google" logo runs down the length of the back, inline with the camera pod which hosts an 8 megapixel sensor and a large autofocus lens behind a glass window, along with a single LED flash. Sandwiched between the front glass and battery cover, you'll find a silver / faux-gunmetal rim that traces the entire perimeter of the device. The top edge contains the power / lock key, micro-HDMI connector (behind a flap), and standard 3.5mm headphone jack. On the bottom, the G2x takes a cue from the iPhone 4 with two small meshed openings on each side of the micro-USB connector, one hiding the mono speaker (which is adequately loud) and the other protecting the microphone. There's a simple volume rocker on the right edge, and nothing on the left. As expected, the SIM and microSD card slots are located behind the battery door, along with a standard issue 1500mAh battery. No microSD card is supplied since the G2x provides 8GB of internal mass storage. While most of the hardware in the G2x hits the spot, we're a little underwhelmed with the display. The 4-inch WVGA (800 x 480) IPS panel looks good on paper but misses the mark when compared to the competition. Sure, the colors are rich and the viewing angles are wide, but the LCD washes out more than expected in direct sunlight and suffers from a significant amount of backlight leaking out from the edges of the screen, resulting in visible "stains" on solid, dark-colored content. We're also somewhat perplexed as to why LG decided against outfitting this dual-core smartphone with a qHD (960 x 540) display, à la Motorola Atrix 4G. Obviously, we're being highly critical here -- most people will be satisfied with the G2x's display, at least until they come across one of Samsung's Super AMOLED-equipped devices. Another item that requires improvement is the screen's capacitive touch layer, which is slightly less sensitive than on most other phones. Light touches don't always register, and while this is easily remedied by applying more pressure, it's rather disconcerting -- especially for a handset that's otherwise well designed.Read full review
I bought the LG G2x because I wanted a phone with better picture quality, being that it had a 8.0mp camera I thought it was the phone for me. One night when out with the friends we decided to take pictures. Unfortunately this phone has no exterior camera button (it appears on the bottom middle of the phone) so it made it very difficult to snap a picture of everyone including myself. It doesnt have many picture settings, only flip left and right. I dont think that really counts as picture settings. The flash is blinding and it lasts for about 6-10 seconds untill you can see again. To be honest I dont like the camera very much and it sucks that its the whole reason I bout it. besides all that if your taking a picture outside during the day time or in a well lit room where you dont have to use flash, the pictures are awesome. Its a very good phone, its fast and easy to use, the music player works great, actually thats one thing I love about this phone is the music player, it works so fast and theres no loading time, if you want to listen to a song u dont have, youtube plays right away. Games are easy to play on this phone.Read full review
T-Mobile G2X was my first LG smartphone, and after my not so great experience with it, I don't know if I'm gonna try some other LG smartphone soon. I bought one first day they arrived at my local T-Mobile store, I couldn't resist to that big bright screen, new Nvidia 1GHz dual core processor and great 8MP camera with HDMI TV output in the pocket. Because I was still in the contact I paid full retail price for it, somewhere around $550 in the local Shack. But I didn't mind the price too much, as long as phone is what I expected to be. And it was, at the beginning. T-Mobile LG G2x LCD: I don't need to bother you with LCD's technical specs, it's big, bright, visible as it should on the sun and ready to display your freshly taken photos and your recent HD videos. I didn't find any problems with the screen for a two months of use, it was better screen then ones that I've had on my previous devices. It was a little bit difficult to find proper screen protector for it if you want to install one, screen digitizer is curved on the edges and screen protector will not cover it all. Touch response is excellent and I find it acting great even with my big fingers. And, I did install hard covering protective case on it which is a little bit robust, but I was still able to reach screen edges and use touch keyboard easily and normally. I think that LG made good hardware to start with it, and LCD display was one of the best in the class when phone arrived on the market. CPU: I'm not youngster who buys first dual core CPU phone for the gaming purpose, but to test that processor power I tried few preloaded games; N.O.V.A. and Need For Speed SHIFT and I was amazed with the graphics and speed. This phone can really be your next portable gaming console (when you don't have one). All this will drain your battery very fast, so have you charger ready with you all the time if gaming is your forte. I was coming from T-Mobile G2 which runs on 800 MHz and I somehow expected this speed improvement. Both phones were loaded with Android 2.2 in that moment and I was able to compare functionality and speed in My real life. G2x was faster, which was normal to expect, question is how much. I know that I could install some app which will measure phone speed, but I usually test phone in real life situations. My conclusion is that G2X is very fast phone when it works as it should, but with buggy Android 2.2, which was not carefully modded for this hardware, that was not the case all the time. I loved the camera, that is probably the best part on this phone for sure besides Tegra CPU, pictures are sharp, I've had noticed excellent quality when I used it outside (read good light), but camera was actually good also for inside use, and pictures are very printable too. HD videos are also very good, you can user it for full HD but I think that you gonna need more memory for longer HD videos. Phone has internal 8GB, but there is a memory card slot and I think you can get extra 16 or 32 GB if you're planning to use more. I was really enjoying camera on my G2X, I took much more pictures & videos since I got it compared to my G2. I also found out that you need to buy memory card class 10 if you want to shoot a lot of videos. This was my worst Android 2.2 experience so far. I don't know where to start and what was more irritating but I had many issues with this ROM. Phone is losing network constantly, it will restart when it wants and sometimes text messages would be late few hourRead full review
This is an overall good phone. I really love that it takes HD video and pictures. The camera is excellent. The battery life is average for a smartphone, and it normally lasts for about 8-10 hours with lots gameplay and internet browsing. I did have some issues with the phone turning itself off when charging, though, and discovered via several forums that this is a common problem. However, after rooting this phone, that problem has stopped. I have no issues with lagging or freezing, and the overall speed of the phone is pretty good compared to other phones on the marked now.
I bought this phone after I had purchased a windows mobile operated smart phone. It was a horrible interface for the user. So I decided to take a gamble of the lg G2x, and I'm glad I did. This phone features the aesthetically pleasing android operating system that is much more sensible and user friendly. It has an hdmi port which I've used to connect my phone to my flatscreen television and use as I would a computer monitor. I also use the slacker app and headphone jack to hook up to my powered computer speakers and jam out while I work out 3x a week. All in all I would say this phone has the capacity to please the crowd and perform within the limits of any piece of comparable hardware for the money.
I upgraded to this phone from T-mobile's myTouch 4g and there's some ups and downs about it. On the up side, it is faster, higher resolution camera, nice shaped and professional look, and got rid of that "genius" button that I personally really didn't like; battery life is about the same, as of all smart phones, one day of use is good and you should charge it at night; now for the downside, I don't find the Wifi-hotspot app that comes with it neither does it have the flashlight app that enables the light on the back of the phone, however these 2 problems can be solved by some other apps; bigger problem there's no analog/confirm button, harder to navigate through text, also the only button to wake the phone up is the power button. So that's is all my personal experience, hopefully it was helpful to you.Read full review
