LG Optimus 4X HD P880-One after HTC X and Samsung Galaxy S III, now turn to LG Mobile to release Android smartphone with quad-core processors. This is the LG Optimus 4X, which from the name alone is the successor to Optimus 2X. Although this time the LG is not the first to enter the world quadcore (Optimus 2X is the first time smartphone dualcore), does not mean Optimus 4X HD be underestimated. Bringing frills HD, this phone uses True HD IPS screen with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels (720p). NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor with 1.5GHz clock, successor to the Tegra processor 2 on the Optimus 2X. Follow the standard upper-class quadcore smartphone competitors, Optimus 8MP camera with 4X zero shutter lag, as well as full HD 1080p video recording. Everything is battery powered with a large enough capacity, 2150mAh. By Prada-style design and a cheaper price tag of Rp competitors. 5999.000, if the LG Optimus 4X HD can compete against the competitors?
Design and Body
Like the L Series, Optimus 4X HD arguably has inspired the design of LG Prada 3.0. Seen from the facade of a full glossy like most smartphones, and looks back is made of plastic with a texture like the skin (ridged) that do not have a random alias pattern as in Prada, no regular pattern such as the Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy W. This phone is surrounded by two separate silver list. To port there is only a micro USB and 3.5mm audio jack.
The rigid form of mobile phones and a box on the side makes comfort when holding the phone a bit less. In the grip of the phone is also not impressive premium, even when compared to the Galaxy S III, especially if the HTC One X. But the grip of the phone is quite good, with the back cover is textured like the skin, better than the S III are slippery and easily detached from the grip if your hands are sweaty.
With jumbo 4.7-inch screen is sacrificing portability compared to only 3.5-inch iPhone, but according to the spec dimensions, compared to SGS III (4.8 inches) and HTC One X (4.7 inches) is the most compact phones LG size. While the thickness equal to One X, and the same weight as the S III. The third is the physical size of the phone is not too much, just a little different so you could say not too pronounced.
Screen
Using the IPS type screen, the screen phone has a good perspective and the colors are natural. But we feel IPS screen at One HTC X is slightly better in terms of saturation and contrast, while type III screens at SGS is Super AMOLED practically perfect in both cases, but it certainly tastes of each person is different on the screen, if you like the screen with muted colors to choose IPS, if you like screen eye-candy can choose Super AMOLED. High resolution 1280x720 pixels on a 4.7-inch display makes the LG screen is relatively retina because it has a density above 300ppi, exactly 312 pixels per inch. Moreover, unlike the super AMOLED, the screen is IPS uses three subpixels so that the resulting picture is really sharp. In the sweltering outdoor conditions 4X screen still looks pretty clear circuitry.
Interface
With Optimus UI and Android 4.0 operating system Ice Cream Sandwich, Optimus 4X has an attractive interface and full of great effects everywhere, and found no lag, everything is smooth and uneventful. To lock the screen this time there Unlock Face, typical features of ICS are lost in the Optimus L7. Apart face unlock, as usual there is swipe, pattern, PINs and passwords. On the lock screen you can display the widget and shortcuts to speed up your open applications or doing something.
To Homescreen and interfaces as a whole, there are several themes to choose from namely Optimus, Biz, Cozywall and Marshmallow. You can use a maximum of 7 homescreen that can be filled with widgets and shortcuts. Press the Home button a bit longer and you will be brought to the task switcher. You can set the scrolling can be done whether or not circular. To screen the effect you also can choose many kinds of effects such as Breeze, Panorama, Carousel and others. Interestingly, you can backup and restore settings on the homescreen.
On the main menu, by default the application is composed of 4 columns and 5 rows, but the use of screen size, you can choose to display the icons more so into 5 columns and 6 rows. Android 4.0 standard, the main menu is divided into Apps, Downloads and Widgets. Transparent notification bar looks a bit dark, with a typical touch of cyan color ICS. There are 4 shortcuts such as Quick Memo, Sound, WiFi and Bluetooth, you can add more. For a model letter you can change the font to be HYSerif and HYTravel Roboto.
One excellent feature is the Quick Memo Optimus 4X. In contrast to the memo / note in the Galaxy Note for example (screenshot first and then edit) here you can directly edit the screen just by opening the notification bar, select the Quick Memo and the screen is ready for stripped-streak. There are several types of tools that graffiti pens, markers and highlighters. Indeed, the features and quality inferior to the Galaxy Note streaks, but the application of Quick Memo is much more practical.
Input Text
Input to write there are two methods that Google voice and LG Keyboard typing. Existing arrangements such as auto-capitalize, auto-punctuation, suggestions of words and touch feedback. In addition there is provision for handwriting style, which includes the size of the pen, color pen and the time delay that is when writing by hand. Although using a 4.7 inch widescreen, for typing using one hand there is no big deal, the width of the phone is still affordable with one hand.
Contact
LG split contacts in this phone into 3 categories, Groups, contact list and favorites. Contacts can be synchronized with your Gmail account or social networking accounts like Facebook, Twitter and others. In conducting the search, edit and add contacts are all easy to do. Each contact can add photos and special ringtone.
Messaging
Messaging on the Optimus 4X standards are the SMS, Email and Instant Messaging. Easy to use SMS as well as other Android phones, there are threaded format. While you can use a Gmail email that has many features similar to desktop versions. Of course you could also use another email client. While Instant Messaging is available for the Google Talk, other than that you can add as an alternative to Google PlayStore Line, WhatsApp, YM, and so forth.
Camera
By carrying out an 8 megapixel camera and video recorder 1080p, 4X Optimus practically equivalent to the competition. Its features include timers, HDR, panorama, continuous shot (VGA resolution), resolution options, scene modes, ISO, white balance, color effects, geotagging and shutter sound. To snapped several images simultaneously, simply hold down the portrait on the screen. To focus can use the autofocus and touch focus. But the focus of his touch a bit strange, you are able to focus on a particular object before the shooting, but sometimes before you even press the portrait of a sudden the phone is doing the focus back to the images you can capture blur, it is quite disturbing.
In spite of the troubled auto focus, the image is quite standard 4X Optimus just for the size of an 8MP camera. The resulting slightly purplish color, detail any standards only. See and click on the photo below for full size.
Video Recorder
Features in video recorders such as the EV, the video size settings, white balance, color effects, geotagging, recording audio and auto review. There is also a funny special effects that changed the face of the person you are recording, making it a big mouth, small eyes, etc., also change the background.
Photo gallery
A photo gallery that also includes the video using the standard album for Android 4.0 ICS. In addition to the slideshow, you can move the image, file rename, rotate, do the cropping, simple editing and displaying image details are pretty much like a camera model, focal length, ISO settings and others. Photos can be shared instantly via Bluetooth, email, social networking and others. Performance in the gallery showing the results of Figure 8 megapixel camera phone is very smooth and seamless transition, there is a slight lag when zooming is very fast but only sekedip eye.
Video Player
Although the Gallery includes video, LG Optimus 4X still have a dedicated video player. DivX HD support, default video player is very promising. The whole format is the author put into storage via a micro USB phone mp4 format that is 1080p, 1080p WMV, MOV 720p, 1080p MKV AVI and everything runs smoothly without any hiccups. 1080p BluRay format (. M2ts, just rename to. Mp4 for readability in default video player) that I entered was running smoothly, although a little choked up at the beginning as well as jump in the timeline. Though the file. M2ts same goes smooth on PC (a bit old school anyway, AMD dual core 2.3GHz, 4GB RAM, VGA Ati Radeon HD3300) belongs to the author. Subtitle file. Srt perform perfectly and has a setting type, size and font color.
Default video player features a special preview of the touch. If the feature is enabled the eye icon, then the timeline will appear in the video preview that you can-sized mini-backed forward at will, without disturbing the main video preview.

Web Browser
Default browser on Optimus has 4X interface that is identical to the LG Optimus L7, but of course more powerful thanks to the spec that far exceed the mobile phone. Seen from the number of tabs that can be opened up to 18 pieces simultaneously. In opening the site with a lot of content such as full TeknoUp fast and smooth performance is good enough when scrolling, pinch and zoom, and others. To watch a Youtube directly in the browser with the smooth you need to download Adobe Flash Player first. 1080p video there appear quite a burden for the phone but 720p will suffice perfectly well and appear on the screen at Optimus 4X HD 720p.

Durability Battery
Lithium-ion battery capacity of 2150mAh at Optimus SiO 4X + HD technology, which makes the large capacity of the battery does not affect the physical size of the battery to keep the phone still slim. What about performance? With heavy usage for the purposes of review, but something like everyday use (things: browsing and streaming via WiFi,, watch HD video with brightness polls, play the game Real Football) from 10 am, at 3 pm 40 percent of the battery is still there, so for a day of working hours, the phone can still be relied upon, though not having the equivalent resistance of the batteries SGS III. What is clear when playing Real Football 2012, the heat is channeled to the rear cover and the screen is quite alarming, but the performance of the phone itself is not disturbed.
