Appearance and quality:
As I unpacked the phone, I was once surprised as I myself thought that the S II would make a wertigeren impression. But since I have cut myself. The Optimus L9 and the SII give on this point nothing.
And the appearance of my Optimus L9 like even better, especially because the screen has particularly the right and left is not much margin. Only the somewhat thin home button and the drops it on the back to the right and to the left bothers me a bit in appearance.
Feel:
With the falling back we would also directly to the next point: The haptics. Because these back bothers my opinion not only the look but also how the mobile phone is in her hand. Since the flat back of the S II is significantly better in the hand.
Hardware:
For hardware, I can say that almost everything is top. The reception is great, both in the mobile network in the Wi-Fi and also the dual-core processor operating as desired, to stuttering occurs virtually not at all. He will not like sometimes very hot when S II. On the display, the camera and the battery now I go a equal more detail.
Display:
The colors that the display are really beautiful and strong. There's really nothing to complain about. But again, the S II is superior. To the Super AMOLED display is in my opinion a little more beautiful and also power saving.
Camera:
The camera, however, has disappointed me. She shoots not really nice pictures. But since I know not a phone that makes it easy. Neither the S II with its 8-MP camera. By contrast, I am very satisfied with the camera on the display side. For video Telefonien these ranges without problems.
Battery:
The battery although I was unable to test, but my sister told me that he keeps well through a day of normal use.
Software:
Android 4.0.X is easy to look beautiful on any phone and LG is doing here with their surface again a special treat from the whole thing. Here I like the interface better than Samsung's TouchWiz. But unfortunately it does not work as well as on the S II. As you scroll one notices minimum stuttering. But at this point I'm probably out of my phone simply spoiled too much just a bit.
With the keyboard I can not so good deal. But that's only matter of habit.
Conclusion:
Overall, my phone has yet enjoyed. And for all those in which the Magic bet limit for a smartphone at 300 is I can only express a very strong buy recommendation. All that, that are ready about 50 I can spend more lay only the Samsung Galaxy S II or LG Optimus 4X warmly. The two I would look at me again precisely in this case.
I hope I could help you more when choosing your next or first smartphones :)
