I have the LG L01E red version. It came in just a few hours ago so I can't tell very much yet.
I will tell a few things about the camera and overall performance. ( Note: I came from a galaxy s3 therefore I will make a few comparisons with it:cyclops:.)

Camera:
The camera is 13mp and has a lot gimmicks like voice shutter, time catch shot etc.. The gimmicks are nice but it will slow the camera down in making pictures. The galaxy s3 was faster in taking and processing the pictures although the difference isn't that big.
Settings are also highly customizable as you expect from most devices nowadays. You'll find standard setting like; whitebalance, storage, ISO and that kind of stuff.

And now the most important thing: Picture quality:cowboy:.

To be honest... I'm actually quite disappointed with the picture quality.:crying:. Most of the pictures I took were kinda hazy. Many details are blurry. But I think this is a software issue because I've seen other lg optimus g devices with much better camera quality. There is another bad thingy about the camera which is the autofocus. It just keeps autofocussing automatically. Normally you would have to press a button to focus before it starts to take a picture but now it just keeps going focussing continously. (custom rom yay:))
The front cam is simply crap. There's is a lot of noise.

For a flagship I'm kinda dissapointed with the cam but let's move on to the overall performance.

Overall performance: Is basically as you would expect of a s4 pro. It's like a exynos quadcore on steroids:D.
Transitions between launcher and apps are almost instantly, srolling is smooth, browsing, zooming are working without any lag.
Watching video's is a pleasure on the screen.

This phone beats the s3 in overall performance without a doubt.

I can't say anything about the battery performance yet. This phone has a 2210mah battery in it. But I guess the battery performance will be average.

On a sidenote: this phone only has 2 languages: english and japanese. It also has infrared (why?????) and a long big ass antenna for tv. But the tv function only works in japan sadly.:crying:... Oh and it came with a docking station out of the box.

I'm going to try to root this thing now:cool:

If you have any questions, let me know.

EDIT: Rooting failed. I had to hard reset the phone to get it working normally. So don't try the korean/AT&T root methods if you have the LG 01E

@kailash911

So the phone is good? I did not made the wrong choice? thanks dude

The phone is awesome! Although I didn't expect phone's dimensions to be this big. But you definitely made a good choice. I hope the devs will help to unleash the real potential of this device in the future.

i also hope for support for the japanese version.. i will be receiving mine this week..hahaha... our problem now is rooting... so we just go for now with simple plaything apps for now.. but yup..for me it is really awesome... i believe this is the only device for now that supports the SDXC format... and the battery as well is replaceable and with more capacity than the international version... but then again..we need XDA support.. but first things first is the help of the LG ADMINS to unlock our bootloaders.. without it..dunno what is our future

cheers to all of us L-01E USERS!!!

I will be receiving mine in about two day in the mail. After all the forums I have been reading thru I honestly have a bad feeling about purchasing this one for the sake of root. I don't think there is gonna be anyone from XDA to jump on ship with the docomo and the fact that the boot loaders are locked makes it even less likely. Ugh!! Should of just went and got the bell version or half kicking myself thinking I should have went with the HTC OneX+. If anyone finds anymore info on the likely hood tho please feel free to PM me.

I also have no hope on support from the community anymore..

But a last resort could be a bounty thread for rooting and/or maybe bootloader unlocking. But even then ........:eek:

bad news:(...I also think L-01E is the best device in all of the optimus g versions
waterproof and external sd-card is pretty good and so is the camera
it is sad to know that this device cannot be rooted...wish it will have a bright future:eek:

    sorry for being a noob..what is kdz?

    Sent from my L-01E using xda app-developers app

    sth released by LG helps our device to run again when we meet some bad situations
    such as delete the useful system apps and face security error when U restart ur device
    but it will make the device lose root & cwm

    Hi guys
    Pls help me for change roaming settings.
    In signal icon have R, I know this is roaming icon. I think phone from japan and my country(UZ) roaming.
    How can I setup to my country and delete R icon from signal?
    Tnx

    Sent from my L-01E using xda premium

    on optimus lte2, we use this way to delete the R signal

    after install java environment
    (enter java -version into cmd, if you get some outcomes like this java version "1.7.0_05" , you're successful in installing it ^_^)

    java -jar baksmali-1.3.3.jar -x LGPhone.odex then you'll get an document

    java -jar smali-1.3.3.jar out/ -o classes.dex and you'll get "classes.dex"

    dex2jar-0.0.9.9\d2j-dex2jar.bat classes.dex and you'll get "classes-dex2jar.jar"

    use "d-gui.exe" to open the "classes-dex2jar.jar" search for "handleOutgoingCall"

    find this (com\android\phone\OutgoingCallBroadcaster.smali) in the document

    read it and you'll get some codes like this:
    goto :goto_5b

    .line 476
    :cond_b1
    invoke-static {}, Lcom/android/phone/PhoneCarrierUtils;->checkNetworkStatusIfOkToRoaming()Z

    change "if-eqz v1, :cond_ce -->" into "--> goto :cond_ce"

    java -jar smali-1.3.3.jar out/ -o classes.dex and you'll get "classes.dex"

    use 7z or winrar to open the LGPhone.apk, use the storage module, drag "classes.dex" into "LGPhone.apk" and save it.

    use root explorer in to system/app delete the lgphone.odex and then exchange the lgphone.apk which you translated and edited

    use root explorer(oh other explorer) enter into this system/etc/featureset.xml

    change true the "true" into "false" and restart

    turn your device into airplane model until the airplane icon appears and turn off the airplane model

    then you'll find the R icon disappear

    it does work on China Union(WCDMA&HSPA+) but does not work on China Mobile(GSM EDGE&TD-SCDMA)...we don't why either...==#

    right now the l-01e hasn't been rooted so you may just try this:

    settings==>global roaming==>roaming network setting : auto
    settings==>global roaming==>auto dial settings edit the target country code to your country and turn off the auto dialing
    restart
    turn your device into airplane model until the airplane icon appears and turn off the airplane model

    good luck

    when I travel in Beijing
    I realize that there is no such signal on my phone and data switch works well
    in other place the R suddenly appears and I have to get into the settings to turn off the data
    something that we didn't notice before do influence the R signal
    hope this will help U

    what i did dude..is download is download TelInfo..and then go to choose automatic network...and then restart phone...thats what i did

    as for the KDZ query...i dont know if we can use it..because we still dont have root for now...so looks like we dont need this for the moment..but i think i read in one of the forums that he tried to root but failed..so he just made a factory reset..and it made his phone unbrick
