Apple iPhone 4 vs. LG Optimus 2X : Specifications and Price Fight!
Isn't it amazing how much technical specs improvement smartphones get in just a year?
Here's a table comparing the specifications of the latest generation Apple iPhone, the iPhone4, released in June 2010 with that of LG's 2011 flagship Android smartphone, LG Optimus 2X --
Specs-wise, I'd say iPhone 4 is only better than LG Optimus 2X in three aspects -- display pixel density, internal storage and uptime. In everything else, the a lot more affordable LG Optimus 2X overshadows iPhone4 -- still camera, video camera, screen size, processing power, number of ports, name it.
Again, remember that we're just comparing technical specs here and not the actual performance of the phones. If were to do that, it will just boil down to iOS vs. Android? Now, which platform is better? Let us know.

ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeletepara sa akin.. sa Optimus 2x na ako.. bukod sa mura ok na ok na sa akin yung specs nya... makapag-ipon na nga! heheheh Thanks sa post na ito sir...
ReplyDeleteAbove everything else, Apple has an AppStore which utilizes the given specs of iPhone 4 to its full capacity. Likewise, with several integration/sync of some apps to an Apple desktop/laptop. Beat that!
ReplyDeleteWelcome TP!
ReplyDeleteLG nalang ako, mas mura pa XDD
ReplyDeleteThanks rin for checking out TP, dude! :)
ReplyDeleteIn terms of hardware specs. LG(android) of course but hardware is just a part of many comparisons when it comes to smartphones. In terms of software updates and applications iPhone(iOS) will win no doubt. For me iPhone parin medyo disappointed lang sa sim card slot nya.
ReplyDeletenalakagay main advantage is storage? diba expandable yung optimus 2x. so plus yun sa kanya over iphone,
ReplyDeletei can't believe cinocompare mo pa din iphone vs optimus 2x, (and i assume the other phones coming out)
masyadong mataas tingin sa iphone 4, where in reality novelty item lang sya kasi apple.
LG Optimus 2x nalang ako. Hardware-wise, mas maganda ung LG. Software-wise, bahala na kayo pero ako Android :) Price-wise, LG pa din. mas mura at mas sulit. mas maraming features for its price
ReplyDelete'Eto mga nakakainis na comment eh. As if naman hindi mo afford iPhone or BB kung nag 2x ka. Ay sus. Elitists.
