Our phones compared to the LG optimus 2x

What do you guys think about the LG optimus 2x it's doesn't have the build quality quite like our phone but almost every review said it runs blazing fast. Well except for engadget but the reviewer had adavance task killer on.... I think our phone is still be up there with others for a long time before dual core comes technically standard.

Anandtech had some benchmarks and its on par for now, lack of dual core optimizations.
Galaxy S2 (lol), looking forward for.

I don't trust Samsung had a vibrant. Also knowing T-Mobile will water down their other phones like the HTC pyramid since mytouch is their flagship device.
Idk how good LG is but I read a couple reviews said the phone was blazing fast and LG ui isn't in the way. It had nice features like changing the type of font and such.

That may be true my contract is up in may and if it is I will be getting it been waiting for a 4.3 dual core beast from HTC. Even without hspa LG optimus 2x doesn't look bad. HTC pyramid probably have the speeds of the vibrant 4g and and called the mytouch HD. Lets hope T-Mobile gives us straight sense.... doubt it though.

I bought the g2 since cyanogen said he would get it himself I bought this phone cause I liked the way it looked and the g2 I hardly used the keyboard now I don't look back to the g2

I can't wait until the Optimus 2x becomes available. I love the phone qualities! Its built nice, better camera and higher HD recording (which I care the most about). I'm not a fan of the Sense UI on it but its something I can get use to. Also battery life is suppose to be better. From the phones I saw at CES, T-Mobile only has a few added apps on the phone. Nothing was changed.
As far as the HTC Pyramid goes, we shall see.... I might be buying yet ANOTHER phone in a few more months if its better than the Optimus 2x. Long as T-Mobile doesn't mess it over.

Might wait till quadcore come out cause seems like dual core will be outdated within a year.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

The Optimus 2X seems like it'll be a good phone, but the Pyramid is my current object of desire (pun intended). I just hope that T-Mobile doesn't brand it as a MyTouch phone and keeps the Desire HD-like aesthetics. Don't get me wrong, I love my MT4G. However, its form factor definitely could have been better.
As far as quad-core is concerned, once its released, octo-core will come out a year later. With cell phones, it's a perpetual game of catch-up. Remember the pace of PC technology in the mid-90s? It's deja vu all over again.

In build it feels sturdy. I felt the LG optimus 2x recently very light compared to the mytouch. My g2 is lighter than the mytouch which surprised me since the g2 has a keyboard. I think the g2 is the one that can take the most hits I dropped so many times. Thinking it will snap in two still hasn't. And it's been more that 3 feet I dropped the g2. No scratches or dings yet cause of the zagg full body cover and skin.

The phone is generally built very well. Can never tell what will happen when you drop a phone onto a hard surface. You were just unlucky.

Would u trade your Nexus for Sensation.

I have a sensation I'm thinking of trading for nexus. Which would u guys rather?

I've had the Nexus S 4G since launch and at this point, it's going to take a lot to pry this phone out of my hands.. It is still easily the best god damn phone I've ever owned and with ICS coming there is really no end in sight for exchanging it for something else.

In ur case, EVO 3d?

Speaking only for myself, not a chance. I love this phone.

I think you really will enjoy the Nexus. Its a great phone. I hope to always keep a Nexus in the stable.

I feel the same way, I will most likely always have a Nexus variant if not collect each one.

I wouldn't trade my nexus for anything other than the galaxy nexus. I got mine on the launch day last year and still loving it.

You should definitely trade. I have both and except for the dev support and screen, the sensation is better in everyway. And sense 3.5 on it is BADASS. ONLY carrier overlay that is worth a **** IMO.

I have both the Nexus S AND the Sensation. I like them both almost equally. Although, I do like the way the Sensation feels in my hand a little better. But....YMMV.
It's a tablet dammit! Not a BIG phone....

I wouldn't, it's a marginal hardware update, and then there's sense, which in all of its variations I just don't like. I follow there cm7 though, looking fairly stable at this point. That's a plus if there's one. This is just my opinion, not trying to start a flame war or anything

So true, I'll never buy another bloatware-laden locked down phone evar!!!!

I broke my HTC Desire HD, and as I had to buy a new device, the best and cheapest choice was the Nexus S (LCD here in France, far better than amoled picture wise).
There is only two thing the Nexus S is better than the DHD, its screen with better colors and backlight, and the useless but funny toy: nfc chip. Ah, another one : easy device unlock and rooting !
If I could afford it, I'll buy a Sensation or Incredible S, or even Desire HD any time.
Better alu case, better overall feeling with HTC devices, better camera... More Ram, and so on...
Maybe worse in benchmarks, but overall use experience much smoother and less laggy.
Now HTC devices are again unlocked, so MIUI is again available on theses rigs, so if you have to choose between a Sensation or a Nexus S, I'll choose the the HTC every time!
As you already own a Sensation, from my point of view, you are going a step down, maybe two...
But it is only my opinion.

Agreed, I hate all those custom UI's, AOSP FTW!

i think i would swap
but im waiting for the next nexus if i can hold out. i realize i need dual cores. i multitask way to much.
i also want a rock steady gps and the nexus s is flaky at times
i also need a better camera. after the epic i have been spoiled
i might not find the camera portion in the new nexus. i will hold out for the gs3 if i have to get it shipped.

Mytouch 4g I Luv You

This thread might seem unnecessary but I'm making it anyway.
I recently acquired a sensation and it had the touchscreen lockup issue that had to be solved by returning it to HTC. Ofcoursre HTC had to be a **** and charge me 160 to fix the ****ty phone saying warranty seal was broken. So simple. I went with it. Haven't gotten it back yet.
Whatever the point is this mytouch 4g has served me the longest without any issues whatsoever for the past 6 months. I dropped this phone on the subway six times now without any noticeable damage and I don't use a case. The build quality is exceptional and I can't thank HTC enough to design the metal ring around the screen.
I'm grateful to this community and HTC. But this sensation will be the last HTC I own. And this mytouch 4g, I'm never gonna sell it. Ever. Its the best phone I ever had. People who has problems usually speak up like this so I thought this would be a nice addition.

I adore my MyTouch 4g. This is my first Android phone and I've compared to many other models that I have seen and continue to. I have to say that I have yet to find another phone that I would hands down say is superior. The cpu is amazing. The amount of RAM is more than I have ever needed. The size of the phone is perfect for me. And development has been phenomenal.
Are the front and rear cameras off center? You bet. Does that affect their operation or in any way slow this beast down? Nope.

Goodbye MyTouch, i had a amazing time!

Well, ill be soon to retire my Mytouch 4G since i got a G2x and my friend is buying it off of me, to be honest the MyTouch provided the best experience on a phone i had. It actually had the first rom i ever was truly satisfied with and didnt want to change. It was a nice sleek, easy to use phone. I wish all of you, the developers, and every one else the best of luck on this forum section! I really hope the developers on here, some of the best ive seen to be honest, make an amazing ICS rom and port it to the MyTouch, i know you developers can do it :3!

i got it off of craigslist for 200

Traded my MT4G for a G2x as well. I like it better.
So far the G2x has better build quality, better screen, external speakers are wayyyy better, and the Tegra proc is infinitely better than the Snap. Annoyed me when my MT4G would get hot after just some light web browsing. The G2x never gets hot. Plus, games are way smoother on this thing.
Overall, I loved my MT4G, and always will. But the G2x is a decent upgrade. Especially since you got it cheap.

Are you the one trading the N1 for the G2x? Then yes that's a steal. As long as you get one with no problems of course.

if you are concidering getting rid of your mt4g... DONT

over the past few onths i have gone from the mt4g to the sidekick 4g, to the g2x, to the nexus s. what i have learned is that no matter how nice a phone looks it will never beat an htc. the only reason i would ever leave this phone again is for the amaze or sensation.
htc's sense is by far the best ui there is and there is not a single app that can even come close to replicating it. trust me if you get rid of it you will regret it!!

also +1 on what the OP said, MT4G really is a beast phone. THANK YOU HTC!

Im planning to get windows phone when i bored with mt4g. The only thing i love from sense is its quality of its software. Best GUI ever on android phone. But ithink metro ui is thebest gui ever found on a phone.

samsung makes some pretty cool phones but i dont need to be near a computer to flash a rom with my HTC. Thats what will keep me an HTC customer. Motorola and Samsung need to get their act together when it comes to root access.

In all fairness, the MyTouch 4G is terrible... until you root it and put a new rom on.

I'd agree with that. The hardware specs allow it to run any custom ROM extremely well, but the stock "mySense" ROM leaves a lot to be desired.

Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

It depends on what you want in a phone. Since I don't really consider myself a power user, the MT4G has been close to perfect for me in terms of having fairly high-end hardware (remember, the majority of mainstream phones out there aren't very good even though we consider 1GHz and WVGA to be bare minimum requirements) at an acceptable price point.
What matters most to me is an active developer community because there was no way in hell regardless of what phone I got that I was going to keep the stock ROM. With all this Carrier IQ crap going on now, I had the right mindset all along and also got lucky that the Virtuous team removes Carrier IQ from their ROMs, which is good because I do like the Sense UI. However, I won't call myself an HTC fan. I'm only loyal to a product that works as I expect or want it to work, and I'm not that impressed with what I'm reading about HTC's newest phones. In addition, the Amaze reportedly has Carrier IQ. Fine and easy for people here to remove it, but not for the regular smartphone user.
If you told me to recommend a current new phone on the market compatible with T-Mobile's network for the non-rooter/flasher, I would recommend the Galaxy Nexus for AOSP's lack of spyware, even if that means having to wait at least another week for it in the US.

I loved my mytouch since day one. in my opinion I don't think its the phone jus more of the software. Sense phones period are the best. Unlike asop, you have the best of both worlds (when rooted that is).
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

I agree 100%. I went from a mytouch 3G 1.2 to a Galaxy S 4G and even though the Galaxy was much faster and smoother compared to the Mytouch 3G, it was difficult to root and the aftermarket ROMs for it are basically variations of the same stock TouchWiz rom. I found myself longing for my clunky old mytouch 3G.
I agree with the OP that I will never go with anything but an HTC phone from this point forward.
The funny thing about it is that Android advocates are always talking about specs and iPhone people are always harping on user experience because their phones are generally out-speced by the latest Android phones. I hate to say it but the MT4G sort of proves the Apple people right. Other phones that were released at the same time as the MT4G had better specs and even better testing scores but I can say from first hand experience that the MyTouch out performs most of them for everyday use, even with the stock rom installed.
