After getting a bit bored of my old Blackberry 8520 and doing a bit of research into new smartphones I decided to get the LG Optimus 2x as it seemed like a bit of a bargain for what it had compared to other smartphones at the time.

Firstly the good points;

The user interface is really easy to use and follow with the touch screen display (when it's in a good mood!)

It is very easy and simple to use and navigate

Loads of apps available for Android

Fast processor

Very clear screen and a decent camera!


Now the negatives;

The touch screen isn't as responsive as other touch screen phones i've tried and texting on it takes real effort and concentration!

I waited months and months just for the upgrade to 2.3 Gingerbread to be available when other phones were already 2 os's infront! It seems like Android have forgotten about the 2x!

I don't know if I was just unlucky with the phone I got but it turned itself off on it's own so many times so I'd miss my alarm in the morning etc. Not reliable atall!

The battery life was absolutely terrible, I know Smartphones are known for this but with this I'd charge it all night then hardly use it during the day while I'm at work then by 7pm the battery would be dead!

Overall I wouldn't recommend this phone because it was so unreliable with me!
