Rated 80% by by c|net (Jun, 2012)Though I love the LG Optimus 4X HD's simple, sleek design and lightweight build (considering its size - it weighs only 5.12 ounces), it's a tall device.
Rated 90% by by TrustedReviews (Sep, 2012)The HD screen is the best we've ever seen, its quad core processor is mighty fast, its camera mostly impressive and its design is reasonably smart.
Conclusion Which is better for you?
Features Key features of the LG Optimus 4X HD compared to the HTC One X
GHz1.5
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich 3G
Rated 80% by by TrustedReviews (Sep, 2012)As you'd expect it looks pin sharp for everything from text on websites to HD videos, and colours are beautifully rich and natural looking.
1.5 GHz
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean 4G
Rated 86% by by c|net (May, 2012)It gets very bright, brighter in fact than the HTC One S' qHD AMOLED screen, and has viewing angles that are nice and wide.
screen size
4.7"
4.7"
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.
One X by GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)While it's still not as good as a hardware one, it's the next best thing - the 4.7" screen has enough real estate for big, well-spaced keys, which are easy to hit.
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.
One X by GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)Not only is it remarkably sharp (at about 312 ppi, it's virtually impossible to distinguish individual pixels), but also has great contrast and nicely saturated colors.

processor
Optimus 4X HD by spyhunter4 (Mar, 2013)This Quad core chip definitely make this phone blazing fast.
One X by The Verge (Apr, 2012)It’s certainly the most powerful, thanks to a 1.5GHz quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, a 4.7-inch 720p display, an 8-megapixel camera with some aggressive specs, and 32GB of storage.
camera resolution
| 0 MP | 8 MP | 8 MP |
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.
One X by TrustedReviews (Sep, 2012)Not because it features more megapixels – it's still an 8-megapixel model – but because it has a host of other improvements and a superfast continuous shooting mode.
