Sorry U.K., doesn't look good for a native device on one of your carriers. Should see a decent up-tick in traffic around here soon, though. I'm hoping there won't be too many variances in hardware between the countries seeing as how the ones released so far are almost identical aside from the Korean TV tuner/antenna.
This is an awesome phone!
It's better than S4 as well as the Note 2!
I'm so fortunate to have bought this awesome phone, coming from the tiny HTC One in May 2013 , after dumping my S4 in April 2013.
We all know that LG has a bad name before the G and now, the G Pro series! But, not now!
The G Pro is super duper awesome!
It's slim, the LG Optimus UI is so features-rich, speedier and smoother. It's way better than TouchWiz!:good:
Cheers!
I think this is great ! I'm hoping this will favor the LG optimus g pro getting updated to newer android releases because a lot of countries are supporting it.
Just wonder, any news of Android 4.2.2 OTA for G Pro?

What bad names are you talking about? LG Nitro was a heat long before plans for G. and custom roms are still popping in forum and LG even released 4.1.2 for her own LU6200 recently . So LG was great long ago, its the strange people that prefer subpar HTC or Sammy, that call LG bad names :laugh:

Likewise it was with Optimus G, soon to be released in Europe E985 will have 4.2.2 from the start. I think so. Then update will come to AT&T, as it was with 4.1.2 for E970

Cool!
Once G Pro is released in Europe, I think the Asian's G Pro should have the 4.2.2 OTA too.:silly:
This is a good news! Now we will see more accessories for ot! Especially spare batteries! And maybe the updates too..

Hopefully this more global release should help drive the price south
$700 plus for this well built phone is a little high IMHO
BTW for those who already own one,does it come with a radio

For Asian version; LG-E988, there isn't any FM radio!
I think only the Korean domestic model has TV Turner and FM Radio build-in.

Looks exactly like a bigger Optimus 2X with a different back.
The 4X looks way better in my opinion (still the G looks about 1000 times better than the S3 :laugh
The G will make my June 2012 2gig ram Optimus LTE 2 phone cheaper and far less popular, but technically this phone rocks and I have no regrets. I've had minor problems that have been fixed. I recommend the LTE 2 as a reliable awesome cheaper alternative to a very expensive "G".

S3 is one ugly brick. I love my S2 but if Sammy continues with curvy designs and shiny funky color schemes like S3, I may have to look elsewhere at the year end. From the specs, Optimus G seems to have it all and a killer screen too. Can't wait for it to come to AT&T.
I thought this thing was supposed to be unveiled at IFA, now I wonder when this will be out in the market.
The LG Optimus G will be available for purchase in Sept n SKorea.

I have a feeling the release of Optimus G will also be very much delayed like the O4X, seeing that they keep on delaying and moving the release dates of the videos on their teaser site. Maybe you should also write to them about punctuality and sticking to their schedule.

Tell LG i want a quadcore serial processor with 2 Nvidia CUDA GPUs. One gpu for graphics and another gpu for parallel processing. Offload video and video editing and such to the GPUpu. I dont care if the phone is a bit thicker. I want THIS phone.
The Tegra 3 has 12 cuda cores in its GPU. Lame. I want more CUDA cores.

This video released today is the closest thing to the actual design of Optimus G. The phone looks nice and looks like it's better to hold off buying the O4X now. September 19 might be the launch date for this device.
I got an upgrade with my carrier right now and I am torn as to which phone I wanna go with and just came across the LG Optimus Pro G, seems like a great phone but I'd like some opinions from people who actually own it if you like it better than the Samsung galaxy S4 or the note 2. Any feedback is greatly appreciate, thanks.

This guy's testimonial here might make you consider going for the OG Pro. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294189
Ok heres my unbiased opinion, my girl friend has S4 and i have the OGP and guess what? We showed our phones to our friends and they prefer the OGP! Because the display is more natural and more brighter unlike the S4, and the UI looks cartoonist on S4. Plus the battery is better than S4. What amazed me is the lagfree of OGp, there is noooo lag i mean literally no lag. Plus ogp has cool features too that I really like, if you heard about the gosms app for android that has this cool pop up window everytime you get a message, the Ogp has this feature on its stock messanger too!
Btw my previous 2 phones was samsung infuse and galaxy s3, just to let you know

Thanks guys, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with the LG, I've been looking at the S4 and the Optimus all day review after review plus coming back to here to see the posts and I'm sold, not to mention AT&T has it for $99 for the 32gb as opposed to the S4 for $250 for the 32gb. I do like the S4's camera features and the multitasking but I can also do without it. Thank for your help.

Fact is this phone is great. Beats the hell out of the S4 IMHO. But beware if speaker phone calls are important to you lol. Other than that truthfully this is overall the best on the market today and then when you factor in for price its just mind blowing.
Ogp all the way! Best phone out there. If you want a "me too" phone, get the sg4. If you want the best which not many have, get the ogp

Freegee is just Loki and cwm all rolled into one. Its a boot loader bypass that will allow for flashing custom ROMs. however i am wondering if staying on an stock based ROM and then doing an update may play all kinds of hell with your phone if I'm looking at it right. I'm not 100% on that though. I'm more of a windows closet hacker so looking through this I could easily be misunderstanding.
On another note im dang sure your used to flashing with a tf300! You gotta flash the snot out ta that tab to get her running right. Good when you get it though.
If you're meaning a stock OTA update, then it's not even possible since you'd have to be rooted to use freegee and the OTA won't work if you're rooted. On the other hand of you mean a custom rom update then I wouldn't have a clue since we don't have any yet.
In order to return to stock you'd need to use lgpnst I think it is. This will put you at the bare OTA upgradable stock.

It's just speculation. Going by LG's history, though, updates are the last thing they're gonna give. With LG, it's like, "Want a newer iteration of Android? Then buy our latest flagship." Which is sad, because they make some really good phones.

LG should drop their own software and form a partnership with Cyanogenmod. Simple as that. No problems with software and they could only concentrate on hardware.
please not!!!!

I'm looking for an upgrade from Optimus 2X P990. I've a shortlisted a few phone that are in my budget, they are the N4, Optimus G, Optimus G Pro, and the Xperia SP.
There are a few questions I have.
Firstly, I'll buy an E980 AT&T version if I am to get an Optimus G Pro, but will it work with the Indian Service providers flawlessly?
Secondly, why isn't there as many ROMs as there has to be for a terrific phone as this? Is it because of the Locked Bootloader?
Thirdly, does the FreeGee support mean that a Pandora's box of ROMs and Kernels have been opened?
Thank you all.

It all depends what you're looking for. True, the OGP lacks dev support, but the few ROMs we work nicely and the hardware is fantastic.
I wouldn't bother with an N4. The AT&T LG Optimus G (LG-E970) has almost the same exact hardware as the N4 but a bigger and better screen with cap keys and an external SD slot. But, since everything else is 97% the same as the N4, the OG gets updated custom ROMs just as fast as the N4 since the sources for the N4 can be use for the e970 with very minor changes.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I did consider the AT&T E970 for the reasons you mentioned. But then again, the hardware and design of the E980 is too tempting to let go. Wondering if the development for the phone will grow in future. If so, this will be my next phone, hopefully. Also, since it has official CM support too, doesn't that secure the development of ROMs for at least 2-3 years? :/

Not necessarily. With 4.4 now out, the CM team would still need to add the device. However, personally, I do think this will get the 4.4 update one way or the other and I won't be jumping to a new phone anytime soon.

I just traded my galaxy s4 for this phone and couldn't be happier. installed cwm and flashed carbonrom.. loving it! :good:
This phone is a great phone and the developers that we do have are great. We will continue to get updates because the hardware is too good to just leave on jellybean. This is my opinion of course, so I am clearly happy with the e-980 and don't plan on getting another phone anytime soon.

Do it! I left my HTC One for this puppy and altho we have less dev support the device itself is flawless. Only complain i have is i cant get it to fit in my pocket lol

Yeah it's a good buy! At first time i had some thoughts may regret it but now it's ok!
Short answer. Yes.

I was looking for an upgrade from my aging galaxy note and this thing is absolutely wonderful. Top tier specs and much cheaper to pick up unlocked then top range samsung stuff. The only downside I've found has been that the custom rom support isn't as good as most Samsungs I've owned so just check out what is available for the optimus G pro and see if it's enough for you.

this phone is capable of way more than the samsung galaxy s4 that has the mf3 update. mine did so I traded for this phone :good:
I'm seriously thinking of getting the OGPro now. But it's only the lack of development that worries me a little, hope it gets better with time.
Thank you all for your valuable suggestions.
PS: Probably gonna place an order in an hour or two.
