Optimus 2X reviews

---

So I guess most of us interested in this phone have read the big reviews already. They vary a lot - just now I was reading the Tech Radar review, which has got me doubting:

Very negative about the screen and camera. :-/

Check the anandtech review. In my opinion its one the best reviews for the 2x.

The reviews varies so much with this phone!
Strange that they are complaining about the screen that others have called a strong point of the phone.
Maybe there are huge production variations.
Not sure I trust that review.
Also Engadget gave what I think was an unfair treatment in their conclution.
Anyway, I have ordered it and I'm sticking with my decition so I guess I'll know who was right in a few days/weeks.

Opinions on the camera also range from excellent to absolutely dismal. Hard to know what to make of it.

Same when it comes to audio and speakers
- Below average speaker loudness
- Audio quality is only average

and here ....

quote ... speakers are of such average quality, making it a pain to make phone calls in a busy area ... quote end

Really beginning to have serious doubts about Optimus 2x

Are they definitely testing final production units or pre-production?

I think its pre-production, but i'm afraid bad speaker quality might be related to low quality HW?
Some of the UI bugs should be corrected as far as I know

These are relative conclusions as it does not tell us what their standard is on sound quality. gsmarena.com compares it at least with some other phones + they complain on the crosstalk when listening with headphones.

If they compare the speakers with e.g. a Nokia xpress music phone like the 5800, of course it is bad, but if you check the speakers of the several HTC desires (mine being a normal desire), they all suck bigtime. The LG will not perform any worse.

It also seems difficult for manufacturers to get decent sound out of the modern flat phones anyway.

Crosstalk is something which probably can be fixed inside the software, EQing and therefore loudness as well.

I am curious though, phone probably arrives next week and I will report asap.
