The LG Optimus G is a smartphone designed and manufactured by LG Electronics. It was announced on September 19, 2012; On January 18, 2013, LG announced that the device reached 1 million in sales four months after its release in Korea, Japan, Canada, and the U.S. The LG Optimus G is also closely related to the Nexus 4 with similar specifications and a similar design.
In the United States, the Optimus G is available through AT&T and Sprint. AT&T carries the 8-megapixel camera E970 model while Sprint offers the LS970 model, equipped with a 13-megapixel camera. The AT&T model is the only currently-announced Optimus G model to feature a microSD-card memory expansion slot. These models were released on November 2 (AT&T) and November 11 (Sprint).
In Canada, the LG Optimus G will be available from the country's three major mobile providers: Rogers Wireless, Bell Mobility and Telus Mobility, offering the E971 and E973 models respectively. Rogers will be that country's only provider to sell the Optimus G with LTE band 7 2600 MHz support, as opposed to the more common AWS (band 4) and band 17 700 MHz LTE frequencies used by other North American carriers. This extra spectrum enables theoretical download speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s where available.
In Japan, the LG Optimus G is currently available from NTT DoCoMo as the LG L-01E. This Optimus G variant is similar to the E973 model with additional Japan-exclusive features such as FeliCa wallet support, a removable battery, a waterproof hydrophobic coating on all components and support for band 1 2100mhz LTE. The phone is also available in a currently-exclusive Red color.
