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.
