If a smartphones comes into the market these days, the first thing I do is, I compare it with iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3. Its not that I have labelled them as the best smartphones on the planet, but its just the fact that these two smartphones have shown us how powerful a 70″ to 80″ device could have.
I have been a huge fan of LG Optimus G series. I still remember that first LG Optimus smartphone was one of the most selling smartphones of its time. It was not THE most powerful smartphone, but it had real worth of your money. In this post, I would be talking about LG Optimus G.
I have compared LG Optimus with iPHone 5 and Galaxy S3, and the hence the title, Samsung Galaxy S3 vs LG Optimus G vs iPhone 5. Once you check out the below comparison table, you would be surprised to see that LG Optimus G could be stealing some share of the smartphone market as it looks monster on paper.
With its Quad core processor and 2GB RAM, Optimus G is a power house packing enormous strength. And its 4.5 inch screen gives competition to the best display screens in the market.
