by GSM Arena (Oct, 2012)The video player on the Optimus G has a fairly simple interface, giving you just a grid of all the videos on the device.
by GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)At 130g, the One X is impressively lightweight for its size and that's one of the first things you'll notice when handling it.
Conclusion Which is better for you?
Features Key features of the LG Optimus G compared to the HTC One X
GHz1.5
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich 4G
Rated 80% by by c|net (Oct, 2012)Though QSlide isn't intuitive to find, it's easy to use and I can see it coming in handy when you don't want to stop watching a movie, but need to quickly attend to a text or e-mail.
1.5 GHz
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean 4G
Rated 86% by by c|net (May, 2012)Still, its 4.6-ounce weight lends the plastic phone some solidity.
screen size
4.7"
4.7"
Optimus G by GSM Arena (Oct, 2012)The notification area features a side-scrollable list of toggles, the screen is big enough to fit 5 toggles at a time.
One X by The Verge (Apr, 2012)In the hand, the AT&T model benefits from the same design elements as the original — the curves make it feel even thinner than it actually is, and the large display helps push the surface area-to-thickness ratio in the right direction.
screen resolution
Optimus G by GSM Arena (Nov, 2012)As you'll notice in our 100% crop, the difference in sharpness is not big, but it's there.
One X by c|net (Apr, 2012)The result is a camera with crisp detail and pleasing quality that's as good as the iPhone 4S', while having a more aggressive HDR mode.
memory

processor
Optimus G by Kyle--cylem (Mar, 2013)Performance: Similar in performance, the Optimus obviously has the edge on specs, it has the faster quad core and it does rank higher in benchmarks.
One X 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.
camera resolution
| 0 MP | 8 MP | 8 MP |
Optimus G by c|net (Oct, 2012)You can select resolution that goes from 13 megapixels down to 1 megapixel.
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.

cpu speed
Optimus G by Kyle--cylem (Mar, 2013)I use the Eco mode on my optimus though which manages the processor differently i guess, I see absolutely no difference in speed but battery is better though.
One X by Erik-M (Jun, 2012)Great looks, great processor speed and the lazy battery (I need to charge it every night).
talk time
900 min
600 min
Optimus G by c|net (Oct, 2012)Other goodies include two file-sharing apps (SmartShare and FileShare), Polaris Office 4.0 mobile office suite, two video editors, and Qualcomm Enhanced Location Services, which lets you determine your location and conserve battery life simultaneously.
One X by c|net (May, 2012)AT&T claims the HTC One X will run for 12.5 days in standby mode and provide 8.5 hours of talk time.
