The Optimus G is powered by LG Optimus UI v3.0 while the One X is equipped with the HTC Sense UI.
OS: The phones are equipped with Android operating systems, the version being v4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and upgradable to v4.1. The Optimus G is powered by a quad-core Krait processor clocked at 1.5 GHz and with a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset. The One X is driven by a quad-core processor too with a Nvidia Tegra 3 chipset and a clock speed of 1.5 GHz.

Price: The One X costs around $650. The price of the LG Optimus G is not known yet.
Wrap Up: There are hardly any phones that can survive in a spec-to-spec battle with the Optimus G. However, it is too early to call it the phone of the year. We don’t know the price yet so nothing can be predicted. But going by the fact that LG usually undercuts its competitors the LG Optimus G has a good chance of beating the One X and stand out in the throng of top-end smartphones in today’s market.
