LG Optimus G
The LG Optimus G is still worth a long, hard look, especially considering that it costs less than the competition; it's priced at P26,990. And if this is indeed the last hurrah for premium smartphones of its kind—quad-core with a 720p display—then we're inclined to give LG a hypothetical standing ovation for getting a lot of things right in this near-perfect effort.
