Optimus G or HTC One X+ - AT&T LG Optimus G

AT&T is sending me a brand new LG Optimus G to resolve a customer service issue I experienced with them while trying to troubleshoot an issue, actually a few issues I was having with the phone. So, I have 14 days after it gets here to decide on if I want it or the manager handling my claim said I can contact him and he'll send me the One X+ or the Note 2 instead. Amazing service, especially since I am not being forced to re-new my contract or return my One X that I currently have. What is your opinion?

How big are you?
If you are a largish person with big hands, I'd say go for the Note 2.
I had my heart set on the Note 2 when I went to upgrade my phone. My heart sank when I held it in my hand. It was way too big for me.
So I came home with my LG OG. Can't be happier.

The Note2 is way too big for me and I had the HOX+ after having the HOX. Returned the + as it wasn't close to being the same phone as the original. It was laggy and ate battery like crazy. So I went back and exchanged it for the LGOG and I love this phone! Battery life isn't great, but I still like it better than the HOX+.

I wear XXL men's gloves and I still think the Note 2 is too big. Unless really you want the stylus (which wasn't a big deal to me), I say go with the LGOG. I've had it for a full month and it's been a great phone.

I'm average height and hands, I don't mind the size of the Note in my hands, just when it is out in my pocket. I am feeling good about the LGOG, especially when devs start porting from the Nexus 4!
Thanks for the advice

I was really close to buying the Note 2 but after playing with the LGOG...I was sold.

After playing with the LGOG I knew I made the right choice personally.
The stock software isn't given nearly enough credit anywhere on the internet.
To pretend that touchwiz, sense, or any other flavor comes close to the amount of customization this phone has on stock is well.. sad.

This ui really is underrated. Touchwiz and sense always get more attention

Ive had the OG for about a month now, definitely made the right choice.. there isnt a better phone on the market, besides the butterfly.. id go OG, battery is kinda annoying but everything else is A++
Ran super pi on it and it did it almost half a sec faster than my buddies note 2..

This is same dilemma I am in. I have 11 days left to decide but I have an unlocked international One X that has the variant 3 Tegra in it (all 4 cores can run 1.6) and I got the JB update. Each day I like this phone more and more. A few reasons...idle battery drain is amazing, speed and screen are incredible and I saw in store the 16 gig SD was able to be increased to 80 total internal and SD so I figured I would try. I do have one more line to get though...

You must of had a bad one x+ I have 80 apps on my one x plus no lagg what so ever no random lagg ether also using up 30gb of my internal sd with games the one x is a quad core processor with a 5 core to save battery life also 12 core gpu this phone is also android 4.1.1
Some quadrant scores with battery life 4 hour screen time is easily achievable

Is there s off for One X+? I know they way they are updating the OneX to Jelly Bean is a long process with all of the different international cids. There is zero lag on my One X running JB and I am sure X+ is the same but actually I used one in an AT&T store and it was same speeds as my variant 3 One X. Then I tried it again at another store and it was much faster. There's no Sense lag on JB. I am probably going to add a 2nd line and change to family share and split between both phones

Optimus G come with Jellybeans out of the box or ICS?
X+ bootloader is not unlock, you have to go through HTC to get it unlock to flash roms, not real bootloader unlock.

Edit...Optimus comes with ICS but its a complete ICS like if you have Google Now you would think it was JB. Also supposed JB update coming this month

Wait so you can get unlock code and ROMs flash with the kernel. You don't have to fastboot every time you flash a ROM? if that's the case I am going to get my line 2 today! Lol

That's what I said HTC is not real unlock bootloader, you still have to flash fastboot cmd. There is real unlock bootloader for X+ but need extra hardware and gold card cost extra money , currently only few knows how to do it. Not software not software hack like LGOG.

Hrmm,
I honestly would go with the Optimus G.
Optimus G Pros Vs Htc one X+
-snapdragon s4 pro versus tegra 3 ( s4 pro is 24nm as opposed to tegra 3 40nm) smaller which equals more efficient(also newer)
- light skinned UI vs htc sense
- in terms of aesthetics I think optimus g is better overall. extremely sleek!
-newer better battery I think its lithium ion polymer vs lithium ion

I'm getting my first smartphone via the FedEx man in two days and it's an HTC One X+.
I was seriously considering the LG OG, but, I've not yet had a chance to play with either phone. I ordered mine via walmart wireless, because I was able to get the One x+ for $150 with a $100 wal-mart gift card.
Reading this stuff though, I think I owe it to myself to head over to the AT&T store and check out the LG OG. I can always return the X+ and go the LG OG route. My only concern about the LG OG is that I play a lot of games on my phone and the lack of 'Tegra Zone' games is a bit of an issue. Although, I'm not sure I can name 1 Tegra title that I just HAVE to have.
I briefly owned a Nexus 7 but had to return it due to a hardware fault. If only I could look unto the future with a crystal ball and see what kinds of games are going to be coming out in 6 months, lol. That is what I really need to know!
Anyways, sorry to be so long winded, it's my first post so I can't help it. Only 9 more to go until I make an a$$ of myself in development chat! Yay!
