LG announced the Optimus G in August, which went on sale in Korea in September. We managed to get hold of the device to run some benchmarks.The LG Optimus G was in a close competition with the Samsung Galaxy Note II in most of the benchmarks but it was a clear winner when compared to the other quad-core devices including Samsung Galaxy S3, HTC One X and the LG Optimus 4X HD.
We got a early hands-on with the Snapdragon S4 Pro (APQ 8064) mobile processor in San Francisco back in July, and we were impressed with the results. Most of the results were almost similar in the end product, the Optimus G. These benchmarks test the performance of the 1.5GHz quad-core processor Qualcomm APQ 8064 processor and the Adreno 320 GPU.
