Optimus 4X HD by The Verge (Jul, 2012)Even small text is very readable, and the screen is sharp enough that even the subtle texture on the Contacts icon is noticeable.
Optimus 4X HD by Michael-Morrow--tennisnut (Mar, 2013)One of my favorites of this phone is the screen is just large enough to make this phone a decent eReader.
screen resolution
Optimus 4X HD by The Verge (Jul, 2012)It's bright enough to be readable in sunlight, and its 312 PPI pixel density is well into "retina" territory — you definitely won't notice individual pixels, a fact also helped by the RGB layout rather than the dreaded PenTile look.
Optimus 4X HD by GSM Arena (Jun, 2012)The produced photos have plenty of detail and accurate colors, but the noise levels are slightly high and there are some visible artifacts caused by the excessive sharpening.

Optimus 4X HD by Miguel-D. (Feb, 2013)Excellent phone very fast and fluid bad is the battery to run down very fast but we're talking about a quad core Tegra 3 recommend this phone because of its features despite having a good price.

Optimus 4X HD by TrustedReviews (Sep, 2012)This handset seems to tick all the boxes for those after a high-end Android handset as it packs in not just a quad-core processor and large HD screen, but also has a fast 8-megapixel camera, NFC support and comes loaded with Google Android 4.0 OS, Ice Cream SandwichOf course, pricing is key and its good to see that the LG Optimus 4X HD comes in a little bit lower than the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Apple iPhone 4S.
