A display like this one is strong enough to compete with the top class smartphones that are manufactured by Samsung today.
OS & Performance:
Optimus G runs on Android's Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 which is sad as we were expecting LG to add Jellybean instead of ICS. The smartphone is powered with an incredible 1.5GHz quad-core processor that gives much better performance and multitasking compared to the previous devices manufactured by LG. With the powerful quad core processor, comes with a 2GB RAM that goes side by side in racing the device for maximum performance.

The GPU enhances the user interface by adding more to the images you see and videos you play. This is the very reason why LG's Optimus G is called a True HD phone.
Storage & Memory:
Optimus G supports upto 32GB external micro SD card with out compromising the speed and performance of the device. Now you might be wondering why we haven't mentioned the internal storage and that's because there is no official details available from LG as of now and other than those mentioned below. Once the device reaches the market we should be able to provide more details on it and this post will be updated as required.
