[HTC Incredible S] coolnil:
Hi ppl

I have read this tread and realised that there have been a lot of dislikes about the LG optimus 2x. I am actually a user for both the 2x and Incredible S. so i can tell you the pros and cons for each phones...

Yes i have to admit when the LG came out fresh from the box it does have its flaws but it is mainly due to LG programmers... It hangs lags and self restart but after a firmware upgrade (10A to 10B) all these problems are gone! Now it is fast and smooth and it has not given me any problem since then!

Of course it is still not perfect! there are atill some flaws i will get back to that later...

Now to the HTC

firstly i have to admit the HTC sense do really make life easier! especially if you upgrade from 1 HTC to another HTC!

Apart from the usual Gmail sync that you get for all android phone, HTC sense actually automatically sync everything! settings, ringtones and including your SMS! This is a big plus point actually! Also sense makes contact management a breeze as you can link each contact to their email, face book, whatsapp...

This really help you see your things about your friends easily without the need of switching from one programme to another...

To sum up the pros and cons...

Pros for 2x

Camera both is 8mp but LG is much sharper and also in dark situation, LG actually uses its LED Flash to auto focus first so you will get sharp picture even in dark situation.

As compared to the HTC it does not perform well in dark situations and it does not use its LED to help focus the objects.

Also the flash on 2x is actually brighter then the dual LED on the HTC.

2x has full HD video recording while HTC is only 720p... 2x is really nice when it comes to video recording.

2x has built in 8GB of memory and it can still be further increased Via micro SD while HTC only has 1gb for programs...

LG has direct HDMI output and it really output to my TV at Full HD

LG has better sound quality speaker, it rings and sound much louder!

LG has better screen picture quality.

LG has better battery life compared to HTC. HTC can't last more then 10 hours without charging but LG can... Usually when my HTC die my LG still has about 20 percent.

Lg somehow has better signal level compared to HTC... this could be due to the fact that HTC tried to cut cost and put the Signal antenna to the battery cover so if you cover with your hands you will get a drastic signal drop.

cons for LG

Facebook integration is not as good as htc

thicker and heavier then htc.

Pros for HTC

HTC Sense! it is a really big plus point! it is really useful.

Better user experience... Examples are that you do not have to do screen unlock to skip the next music track when you are listening to music wherelse LG have to unlock the screen and go to the music menu to go to the next track!

Email SMS inbox can be seen on the screen without going into the program itself (again thanks to HTC sense widgets).

Cons

Sorry some of the cons are actually mention on the LG's pro for comparision.

examples are the camera and video recording are not as good as the LG.

Battery life is considerable less.

sometimes it is really sluggish (could be also due to the fact that htc sense is a resource eater!)

for now i can only report till here...

all i can say is HTC is really way ahead from all the competitor in android for its programming!

and also i prefer the build quality on the LG itself! it feels more solid!

PS. For all the people who has LG 2x and expericeing hanging please just do a simple upgrade of firmware as it really improve and solve all the problems.

I hope this helps!
