Supposedly the LG Optimus Net is the successor to the O1. Kinda mad that the O1 is still fairly new and there's already a successor to this beast, but it isn't really much better.
The only changes:
- 800mhz cpu processor
- Comes with Gingerbread
- New design?
Not much to call it the "evolution" of the P500, I´m pretty sure that CPU it´s still ARMv6.

That should of been what the O1 should of had when it came out really.. I hope they don't forget the O1 because people would probably buy that over the O1.
It's an O1 with a maybe better shape and an 800 Mhz cpu... It has Bluetooth 3.0 and maybe we have 2.0 but I'm not sure about that...
Anyway LG said that this gingerbread update for O1 was the last update so net or not net our phone won't get any other update.
Bluetooth 3.0
Wifi b/g/n..
What makes me envy is that is i my O1 40 days old & 800mhzz default clock...gggrrrrhhhh....
Most important the new LG maybe wont have the dust problem and the crappy sound quality.

And No Touch Screen bug. I really hope LG can get their brand as high as Samsung, Moto, and HTC. Right now they have a pretty good low end device line, but they are lacking their high-end devices. Many LG devices are plagued with bugs and build quality issues and it sucks because I believe LG has good intentions and I want people to regret pushing LG away as an option.
Optimus net may lead us to official updates beyond 2.3.3.

This phone has just 3.6 Mbps hsdpa speed.
not even a year that O1 is out and already a replacement..how typical
I checked the specs from gsmarena and indeed it uses an armv6.
Im not judging it as a phone but there is no reason for someone to go and buy it if already has an O1.
O1 is still having plenty juice in it for a low end device and by this move lg is like pushing aside their current customers.
Even Optimus net 2.3.3 can reveal something for us. Because our official gb is not very fast. May be Optimus net gb will be more fine tuned and speedy. LG will also put a slight higher price on it.
If its gb version turns out to be better than ours, and assuming it has the same specs as ours, this may offer one more area for fun and development.

What do you mean by support? If its further software upgrades, then no. LG never really provided support for our phone actually. Even their PC Suite is unusable. Even though O1 is a good phone, I was pretty much deceived by it after purchasing it. I don't think I'll ever buy another phone from LG in the future.

it's just a msm7227 turbo <==> armv6, the only real difference is the clock frequency.
lol ive just wanted to start this thread after hearing the news.
my optimus one is already sold and like i said i want to buy galaxy gio as a replacement. then the i heard the lg optimus net comes out(and lg optimus pro). i check that gio and net has same specs but net has higher ram 512mb.
so should i wait and buy optimus net than galaxy gio?
do anyone know whats the price of lg optimus net? is it price nearly the same as galaxy gio. if it is, i will grab it
I read that the pricing will be 199 Euros ~ 278,184$, though actually I'm not sure if I read 199 Euros or 199$.

As some ppl already said its still a Qualcomm MSM7227T chipset clocked at 800mhz
Full specs
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_net-4043.php
The camera has been lowered to 3.15 and the internal memory to 150mb I´m really disspointed of this because i really thought LG would make a real new O1 with more specs like 3.5" screen with 16M colors, led flash, frontal cam, ARMv7 800mhz proc, and keeping it budget, more like a step between the actual O1 and the Motorola Defy, but this really sucks, the only good thing is that maybe this device gets Ice Cream Sandwich and maybe it could be ported to the O1.

I wouldn't jump ship before trying out the phone though. Maybe try to see how games run on it since the O1 was plagued by the multi touch bug and see if that exists. For price it wouldn't be much more higher than the O1.

Hello friends!
I have to buy a new phone with Android 2.2. I saw this phone and found it to be pretty reasonable. Problem is that none of the dealers here are ready to give a demo of the phone and I dont know how does the display looks,the quality of the touch screen and the speed of the phone.
I had been using Samsung Galaxy 3 before this and got really pissed off with its speed, although the touch screen and the screen colors were very good.
Can anyone tell me how does the phone behave. Moreover, some one told me that the touch screen of this phone doesnt behave like the Samsung phones. Unlike Samsung touch screen in which we just need to give a slight touch for the phone to react, in this phone we have to press slightly. Is it true?
Please help.

Yea its a liitle bit true about touch but with me it happned only in apps when i tried to make my fingers fly over the phone.
A little advice buy lg optimus Q becasue its better!
Why don't you watch review videos on YouTube to get an idea of the device? Optimus One is my first Android phone, and I really love it. Have had it for about a month now, but still can't stop showing people what it can do, and playing with it all the time till the battery drains out LOL. For the price, it's a really good device, compared to others like xperia, or htc (from the same price range).

How much will Optimus Q cost in India???
How about browsing your local stores mate?
There are some slight issues with O1 , some of them being fixed by mik and caveman's work. Also Noejn and Paolo , the authors of the best ROMS , at least in my opinion , hold title to : Void(best overall ) , Prime(stability ) , Megatron( best performance ) and Paolo's LOL rom which is the only one to cook a 2.2.2 version of android .
Also the phone has officially received Android 2.2.2 recently and will receive pretty soon Gingerbread .
So if you're in doubt about the support and popularity that such a budget received then stay assured that you have nothing to worry .
Cost is exactly same as galaxy 3

Samsung doesn't give more than 256 MB ram on its non flagship phones. P500 has 512. Only this feature is enough for you to make a choice.
Samsung is playing a very dirty game by restricting the ram of all its newly launched non-luxury phones. I7500 died only due to ram. Spica is taking its last breaths.

are you sure they uses Qualcomm processor? i think they use Samsung's inhouse SOCs. but i think that can be tested by overclocking the chips to 760-800Mhz.

not really worth the extra 3.5k INR. you are getting just a bigger screen, better & usable camera. what you loose are: better screen (cause both uses same resolution), ram, battery life, weight.
if you use the camera lot & ok with less battery life, go for Ace. but Optimus One still has lot of life left. also i doubt Ace will ever taste official Gingerbread.

I personally will never buy another Samsung phone again. Maybe Android, but even then I'd be very careful... From my experience their software is buggy, and they don't update it either. It makes no difference if the model is 200 euros or 400 euros, you'll get one or two updates until your model is old already.

Are you sure that Optimus has 512 MB RAM because if it has, thats some thing to go for. Moreover, can some one please tell me the colour quality and touch screen quality of LG. As per the specks of the phone, Optimus has only 256K colour while all other phones these days has 16M colours. As for the touchscreen, do we really have to press a little for the screen to react. Moreover, does a Optimus have a QVGA or a HVGA screen type??
It has 512 MB RAM and HVGA res. Why do you call 256k ONLY ? It's enough, 16M is crap, you cannot see the difference between them. (don't get me wrong, but I would not pay more for the same image/clarity/brightness on a TFT/LCD panel; AMOLED is something else)
Any idea as to when will any of the below mentioned models be launched in India and whats going to be an approx price:
LG Optimus 2X SU660
LG Optimus 3D P920
LG P990 Optimus Speed
LG Optimus Black
LG Optimus Mach LU3000
hey wait a little bit and buy a samsung galaxy gio!
Hi, I'm asking for some opinions from Optimus One owners, please.
A friend of mine is looking to get a new phone on contract (UK), around the £15/20mth mark. I'm an old hand with Android (although mostly HTC handsets) and therefore his first port of call for advice. I am however a bit strapped for time at the moment, and can't scour all the forums for the info I need to make my recommendations.
I'm pretty sure that I'll tell him to get a Motorola Defy or an LG Optimus One.
Looking at the specs it seems like the Defy is the winner on pretty much all counts, although it is £5 a month more expensive:
Screen: Defy 3.7" 480x854 Optimus 3.2" 320x480
RAM: Both 512MB
ROM: Defy 1.9GB Optimus 512MB
Battery: Defy 1540mAh Optimus 1500mAh
Camera: Defy 5MP Optimus 3.1MP
So, what is the problem I hear you cry? Well, as we all know, hardware specs don't tell the whole story. From the little I've read about the LG software, it's pretty close to vanilla Android - and it's 2.2 as well. The Defy has the overhead of Motoblur and is running on 2.1. And we all know how Motorola treats updates on Android. I also believe that LG has committed to delivering Gingerbread as well? That's a major plus, since the Defy will NEVER see that.
What I want to know is this: what is the Optimus One like on a day to day basis, with the stock UK ROM? My friend will not want to root (or have me do it for him) - he just wants a phone that works out of the box.
Also, any other relevant info you think I ought to know would be greatly appreciated, ie. known faults, bugs etc.
Thanks!
Definetly DEFY ! Trust me, the dev community on that phone is going to grow. The phone is awsome. Same GPU as Galaxy S, TI OMAP processor, Gorilla Glass Display, what could you ask for more ?
P.S: Defy has official 2.2.1.

Ha ha, I've posted this question in the Defy forums as well as here - hoping to get a balanced view by comparing answers from owners of both. Little did I suspect I'd get told here to recommend the Motorola handset!
I would go for the DEFY too.
It also has a 800MHz CPU (200MHz might not seem that big of a difference but it still counts imo) and Flash Lite support.
Both phone are value for money, but Defy offers a lot more.
It has Full Flash support.
OK, then I guess the decision is made (from my point of view), although there is the possibility my friend will still want to go for the Optimus One no matter what I say - it is slimmer and has buttons which he may like over the Defy's capacitive ones. Does the Optimus have any known faults or problems?

Once Defy is rooted...what android version can we have on it???? Does it have a gingerbread port for it???
Yeah. You must root it and add custom recovery in order to apply the patch for touch screen lag bug. When you touch the screen, the CPU goes up to 100%. The patch solves it !
Isn't that awkward, we all advice you to go for the Motorola Defy, and we all are from Romania... do I sense a little bit of regret that we went for the Optimus as Defy wasn't available yet?
OK, so I never held a Defy in my hand and I don't know anything about it, but the hardware specs alone would have convinced me to buy it over the Optimus. Now, concerning your question: LG Optimus One will feel a little bit sluggish on stock ROM. Buggy touchscreen driver makes CPU spike to 100% while touching the screen (corrected with custom kernel). Dust gets under the screen if the phone is carried in pocket. Camera is not outstanding, although rich in features. Not having any source of light such as LED flash lowers even more the quality of pictures taken inside or in poor light. These are the cons, from my personal experience.
The pros, now. Good all-round phone for its price. Decent battery life (I can go 2 days between charges). Sports Froyo, update to Gingerbread officially announced. Decent performance out of the box, outstanding performance with a custom ROM, a little bit of overclocking and improved touchscreen driver. Good overall radio behavior (WiFi, cell signal and GPS).
That's what I gathered in 2 months+ of daily use, I hope it's useful.

Yes, very useful. Thanks very much
if i were in your shoes i wud check out the possibilities both Defy and O1 offer when rooted...Honestly one of the biggest reasons to buy Androids over iphone is the ability to tinker with it....GO ahead find what the dev forums have to offer for both the models..
I have been happy with the phone running the devoid ROM.
However the lack of Flash 10.1 support on the Optimus is very disappointing.
In the American used market (eBay, craigslist, etc) the Defy goes for about 2x what the Optimus does. ~ $300 vs $150. I do not know if that means the Defy is significantly better or overpriced.
In India defy comes for $388 outright price and optimus one for $255. Hence the difference in more features.
But now new galaxy i9003 has arrived and is much better choice over defy. Outright price is about $410 .

Hello there guys and girls,
First of all, I don't really know if I should ask that here, or ask it at all
Anyway, I want to buy my first smartphone, and I would like that to be a dual-core android.
I am really getting a haedache for my choice... I currently am between ATRIX and Optimus 2X.
Which has better support? (Ofc I mean support from XDA-Developers.com)
Are there any other android smartphones that are dual-core and worth buying at this price range?
Please help
P.S.: For once more I am sorry If I posted in a wrong section but I couldn't find the right one. Be kind with me mods :}
P.S.2: I just realised that I wrote cellphone and not smartphone in the thread title. -_-
Hmm, any thoughts?
I should choose the optmus 2x i don't know why but i think that, that phone get better support
The O2x in my opinion. LG's software end isnt great but with MIUI or CM, it is a brilliant phone.
Also, LG announced that the O2X is getting the ICS upgrade in the first quarter of 2011

hi guys.. i am looking to buys an android phone but i am stuck between galaxy s2 motorola razr and optimus 2x. i want a phone which is closest to being unbrickable and has more custom roms etc. plz suggest me what phone should i buy. thanks
I think that the most unbrickable and mod addicted phone is o2x.. luckily lg legalized root and mods so you'll never lose your warranty
Sent by my Optimus 2x using Tapatalk
I suppose my favorite would be the Droid Razr, just because it's been getting a lot of good credit lately, although you wouldn't be going wrong with any of those phones.
thanx mate i think i will go for o2x its cheaper then the rest and tegra2 is really fun for a gamer like me. just want to know if the 512 ram is enough? specially in future after ICS update will it be able to handle that. also it had a bug in the beginning which hangs the screen and often reboots automatically. has that been solved ??
512MB RAM should be enough for pretty much anything - these days, that is. I wouldn't worry too much about it since in a couple years you're likely to replace the phone, right?
If you are going to spend the money on the razr I would suggest going with the HTC Rezound. HTC has a huge following of dedicated developers, plus they allow you to unlock your phones from their website.
I suggest you rather take a HTC.The support for the custom roms is much more important than other manufacturers. Like hobble said, the HTC Rezound could be a good choice, but there is another phone I could suggest you if you are ready to wait one or two months, the Xiaomi MI-One, for the price : 250-300Euros. (specs : Dual core to 1,2 or 1,5 GHz, 4" SLCD, 1GB RAM...)
6 months would be a record for me. lol
anyway thanks got o2x finally very happy with it works like a charm
thanx guys i finally got o2x. budget phone and i am really enjoying it. lg is not a bad company after all. had a bad perception abt them

my 1 cent...
I am trying to compare these two devices because I can get them for the same price.
All the benchmarks I find show the 1GHz OMAP in the LG is faster than the 1.5 GHz S3 in the Blaze. The comparison of the GPU is a bit more even with some benchmarks higher in the SGX some in the Adreno.
For the life of me I can't decide between the two devices.
Blaze has better XDA support (CM10 and dozens of roms), but the L9 has a bigger screen and better battery life and the future possiblity of better dev support.
What do you guys think?
I have both actually. I gave my wife the Blaze. It is a nice phone. When development gets going on this one it will be a better choice.

Is there anything you find that runs better on one phone versus the other device? I love the screen on the L9 its way better than the Blaze. However, I like that you can get CyanogenMod on the Blaze. The L9 has a much bigger battery than the blaze. Ugh, its so confusing
Assuming that development picks up on the L9, do you think I should go with it over the Blaze?
I think it will be a better choice in no time. First LG I have had out of all 7 of my android phones. A little disappointed about development. But with so many android devices out there, it is hard for devs to keep up.
Sent from my LG-P769 using xda app-developers app
The "better with time" is a problem. I used to have an LG Optimus V on Virgin Mobile and it took about 2 years for development to get rolling on that device. Same as the L9, multiple devices in multiple countries.
I think the prepaid carrier for that might have played a roll in that. Major carrier phones seem to get more attention.
Sent from my LG-P769 using xda app-developers app
I would not got with LG
First, I love L9 after 10 years of 20+ smartphones.
But, it is also the first closed Android phone with locked boot and root killing usefulness for us to be in this forum.
I say, LG L9 is very good phone even with tmobile bloat for others but not XDA'ers.
I have a week more to return and may go with usual battery sucking sammy or for $100 more nexus 4 instead for testing Developers
Depends on what you want to do with your phone!
Compare the two phones: http://www.phonearena.com/phones/co...le,Samsung-Galaxy-S-Blaze-4G/phones/7526,6824
For bloatware, you can disable about 80% even WITHOUT root.
For me, I upgrade from my previous 3.7" 3MP-camera 2-year old phone to this L9 P769 for two main reason: 4.5" screen (I read on my phone a lot) and 5MP camera (post on GooglePlus) (and 3rd, L9 competitive price). I was looking for one with 8MP camera but all cost double to triple of this L9.
Rooting is a must for me for backup, adblocker and firewall, but CM9/10 is never the must. I use CM on my tablet, but I found no need to install CM on my phone actually.
So for me, I would definitely choose L9 over Blaze, but again, depends on what you want to do with your phone.
Isn't this wrong to compare two phones from different cost-group and categories? Well if anyone can afford Galaxy Note 2/3/blaze 4D can buy it without even looking at L9.

ok sorry, did not know latest cost of Galaxy S Blaze 4G, it is almost same but CPU is 1.5GHz and L9 have 1GHz where Blaze is good. The screen size of Blaze is 3.9" and L9 is 4.7 where L9 is good.Battery of Blaze is 1750mH and L9 have 2150mH a better one. Blaze is unlocked bootloader, L9 is not. Blaze have custom roms and developers and gone too way ahead due to Jan2012 release but L9 is not even near unlocked bootloader and partial rooting.
Most features are contradicting in both sides hence comparison is difficult. They both cannot be choice of one person at a time. Some people dont like screens more than 4inch, some want medium (L9) and some want bigger and bigger.
But yes I admit price cannot be a factor, its almost same for 3.9inch and 4.7" phone. People who can work and play high-end games on 3.9inch phone should go ahead and buy Blaze.

Isn't this wrong to compare two phones from different cost-group and categories? Well if anyone can afford Galaxy Note 2/3/blaze 4D can buy it without even looking at L9.

I actually was able to find both for the same price. The L9 is very responsive compared to the Blaze and in some ways much more powerful. At least the benchmarks of the OMAP4430 (1ghz) are better than the S3(1.5ghz) in the Blaze. The Blaze does better in graphics with the Adreno 220 over the SGX540. The L9 has a way better screen though. The Blaze was sold as a premium device in 2012 but from my test its hardly runs like a premium device.

If you think L9's 1GHz is better than Blaze's 1.5GHz, then L9 is winner.

I love the L9... but I fear the development here is not going to pick up. I think the phone is not attractive to people who want to dev for it. Locked bootloader, 5 different variants, many of which are not compatible with each other, and looks like LG isn't going to play nice, with the release of 10g and all making it unrootable. I think I'm going to return mine unfortunately and jump on the Nexus 4 bandwagon, it's just $100 more, why not
