Nuthin' but an Optimus G thang
Introduced in New York and South Korea, LG's newest flagship phone, the LG Optimus G, boasts a 4.7-inch True HD IPS+ touch screen and a 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor.
Looking slim
With its 0.33-inch profile, the Optimus G is a slim device. It's also 5.19 inches tall, 2.71 inches wide, and weighs 5.11 ounces.

Displaying the Rock
The handset includes Dual Screen Dual Play, which enables users to beam screen images onto a TV with their Optimus Gs.
Saying cheese
To the left underneath the camera icon is an image of a head, which indicates the device's voice-activated Cheese shot function. Simply say "cheese," and the camera will take a picture.
A few other camera features
In addition to Cheese shot, the Optimus G's camera also has HDR, panorama, and continuous shooting.
A look at the back
On the back of the handset is a whopping 13-megapixel camera with LED flash.

Our CNET Asia colleague, Aloysius Low, also got a chance to get his hands on the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich device.
Upping the ante
The LG Optimus G's "crystal-inspired" rear is more luxurious than past LG products, which usually come with a typical plastic backing.
Controlling battery life
To conserve and lengthen the life of its 2,100mAh battery, the Optimus G has an eco-mode feature that optimizes the phone's quad-core usage.
Ready, set, benchmark
During its Quadrant benchmark trial, the Optimus G outperformed the HTC One X and the Asus Transformer Prime.
A landscape view
The LG Optimus G's 4.7-inch screen is reportedly thinner than other handsets due to its Touch Hybrid Display technology.
