LG Optimus Net Dual - User Reviews

  • I bought this mobile 2011 Now i am using this mobile LG model is Good Awesome I like Very Mush Now good running this model

  • nice piece using since 3 yrs and no screen scratches bt ver low internal memory

  • Yes, a common problem with old phones. These days even 8GB. Internal is less.

  • i have this set and i dont know how to take screenshot in it...??? please guide me..!!

  • There is big problem with internal memory due to that letest app will not support like whatsapp

  • Worst smartphone from LG. I am using it from past 2 years. I recommend not to buy. This phone has very less phone memory which is not good for a smartphone. It does reboot many times when browsing and whatsapp crashes almost everyday. Though i removed many apps so that i can have atleast 40MB internal memory available, still the phone is very slow. Camera clarity is ugly, It is not a good phone at all. Sometimes it does not even show the caller untill the phone ring cycles for more than 3 times. My ratings: Design: 1/10 Features: 1/10 Performance: 1/10

  • Dear sir: I've got LG-P698 it shows nothing on screen only LG trade mark . Looking forward for your big hand. Thank u Fathfully yours

  • This phone can only have 3G on one line at a time so the line you use for data must be set for 3G but you can have edge for both lines its a nice phone ive used it for 2 years

  • there is a seperate app called software update do it then it becomes to 2.3.6 kernal version

  • LG optimums cheat me the performance of camera

  • LG P698 is a great phone to great choice.. i like it.. coz i never download anything.. i just use this phone for call and message plus music.. that no problem for me... :thumbup

  • its a good cell

  • Hi, my husband has this phone in argentina too, but the 3G doesn´t work, do you have the same problem?

  • This mobile was given to me as a birthday present..Dual SIM works fine,I´m using Movistar (ARG) and Claro (ARG) at SIM1 and SIM2 in that order...appart from having a good or bad mobile operators service..this mobile works ok its dual sim feature.WIFI is also good, if you have WIFI and and DATA on 3G/2G features ON, the mobile tends to connect apps through WIFI. But I have a doubt.. I can´t get 3G service using both SIMs, just EDGE..SO Is it normal according to the specs: "3G only SIM1" and "2G SIM1&SIM2"? Because I tried it with 1 Sim at a time...and nothing changed.

  • The quick start guide issued with the phone does not contain sufficient information about how to operate it.For instance ,if I want to enter a new contact what should I do. Where can I get this information from?

  • Yes battery life is tooooooooo lowweee ..

  • i like the phone very much...iam using the phone since last 8 months....the problems i noticed is its internal storage is too low to provide a good and smooth operating atmosphere,....camera is not too good and not too bad....hmmmm not bad....

  • everyone!!! listen carefully ...this unit slows down because of insufficient internal memory ..so if i were you...download only the essential apps :)

  • This phone is great for its price, its battery lasts about 5-6 days (yes days not hours) and i hope that i can find a high-spec phone with such battery life. Its Dual sim operations are great - but if you want to use it for internet you should have a very good signal coverage. Totaly it's great for its price - I have this one and GT-i9001 galaxy S plus .

  • Pls can you provide the application that links the internal memory with SD to allows for more application downloads. Thanks

  • clearety why?

  • For the haters, puh-leaaase. If you want a high powered, fast, clear screened phone, get anything that's obviously way more expensive than this. I rarely find a dual SIM with Wi-fi on the same phone and this one does great. The signals are fine. No one uses two SIMs at the same time anyway. My Whatsapp never lags in sending or receiving messages. Of course over time it will get slower. Especially in this price range, what do you expect? The size is quite small so people might be inconvenienced to text. This is my first LG, the cheapest phone there is with these features and I have to say I am definitely not disappointed.

  • is this phone DUAL ACTIVE or not ?

  • it's nice pic

  • worst phone because two times pcb board changing at last six months

  • ive had this phone for almost 5 months now and it started out great but now its slow to start up, lags in games sometimes, my phone sais 2 diffrent times but bothe of them are wrong and when i try to change them they just freeze ect. cant wait to get a new phone!

  • The battery life is too low. :(

  • i ve been using this phone for last 5 months..i love this phone..it fulfills all my needs..problems i felt are : disconnecting a call with touch is a bit slow ,ringtones are not so loud,camera is not up to mark ,in built microphone is not loud for callers,while using internet sometimes the other sim gets nil range.zooming reduces image quality,temple run not playing what i love in this phone : cool user interface (nice with go launcher exe app),dual sim switch is very effective,good clarity for videos,no big hanging problems !! ,option for disconnecting and connecting to internet in notification bar itself,very good speed while browsing,overall very good entry level phone..no need to doubt its a very good choice

  • Don't be stupid, this is a phone from almost 2 years ago, back then it was a great mid-end Android...!

  • One of the worst android phone!!!! Just tell me 1 reason why one should buy this phone?? I have many reasons not to buy this. Battery backup - 1 day Touchscreen - Does not work when CPU load is high (for ex, when you want to disconnect call...) Dual SIM: Sometimes only one of the SIM works etc etc etc

  • Good mobile.internet speed is well.but internal storage is toooo low. i will download 8 or 9 applications,it says phone storage is full. this is my problem. plz frnds help me.plz solve this problem

Menu>settings>applications>manage apps then click the desired app to move there will be n option � move to sd card� thats it..

  • Great phone! Using it about 1 year! The only thing I dislike is that i have to swith sim 2 off to use 3G.

  • How to manually create new APN profile on this phone? Data profile is automatic created to the network default when a sim is inserted. I want to create a profile to make me enjoy certain service but this has not been possible on this phone. pls reply me to [email protected]

  • Is this phone's dual simcard work at the same time? I mean they are online at the same time,or you need to switch and select which simcard you want to be active?

  • you need ROT this is first

I don't want to root this,bcoz its warranty will become failed ... pls help me my friends thank u alot

  • This is a very practical phone. I'm using this Dual SIM phone for both net and phone calls for nine months so far. I put in SIM1 a data SIM card for internet and use the phone as a WiFi hotspot. The SIM2 is dedicated for voice calls. Sometimes the data SIM is not getting connected then I have to deactivate/reactivate the data SIM and the problem is gone. The GSM Arena specs page says that HSDPA bandwidth for this model is 7.2 Mbps. while from my experience the Max bandwidth is 2-2.5 Mbps according to speedtest.net . That means the Max bandwidth is only 3.6 Mbps not 7.2 as GSM arena says just like the single SIM model.

  • i am using this phone for the last one year this phone is very excellent great sound quality , and superb touch but sometimes phone is hanged about 2 to 3 seconds otherwise i am satisfied with this phone.

  • 10e

  • hi friends does any body upgraded ur lg p698 software version v10b to v10g. if yes hw is d perfomance ,reply soon .

  • After a month of buying 2nd hand NetDual. Im quite impressed with its specs. Batery life (compared to others) is good. Mine can go as long as 3 days with "normal" text and call usage (which are the basics)and about a day with full wifi usage. all is good, esp the display which is way far better with its price range counterpart in samsung. The only problem is low phone memory, but is forgivable. :)

  • This phone lag so much , the procceser is 800 MHz but it feels like its 200 MHz

  • The price is 800 not 399 in dubai . The one who is 399 is called LG cookie and it looks same as this one but it is not an android phone

  • does this phone have auto touch problem, what I mean is does it activate certain features or icons without some actually pressing it? Please I need response from those using it because I want to buy 2 days from now.

  • I purchased it 6 months back. It's the worst mobile I have ever had. Features are good but functionality is worst. Hangs frequently, reboots by itself. Dual SIM function is useless. No good technical support from LG. It's piece of crap. Don't buy it.

  • there was aproblem in this phone as SIM2 always out of service and when anyone call you on SIM2 sayed that your phone might be closed or not available,i found the solution for this, go for SETTINGS then WIRELESS&NETWORKS then MOBILE NETWORKS then adjust both SIM1 and SIM2 to be on GSM mode only, after that your two SIMS will be always online ان شاء الله

  • hy i have this phone for 1 month and whend i use the internet on first sim )3G( the second sim have no signal..i call me and the operater say i have the phone closed...or i am out of range,no network....somebody know why?? but not all time....what i can make to be operational all 2 sim never say that i am out of range...??thanks..

  • On the memory cotact should be easy to search,like Amdroid when space inserted in the contact memory it will become serch header. Not only fist name the last name also become the search header. My email address is ; [email protected]

  • first u have to root ur device with this program UnlockRoot_downloader_by_UnlockRoot download it from www.unlockroot.com then use Link2sd.apk program to move apps from phone to memory card tested by me 2 times enjoy !

  • Mine does not have that problem. Is fast enough not having lag in any part of the UI. Games run great (tried plants vs zombies, deadly dungeons, fling the furballs). The only slow app on my p698 is the amazon app store, but I guess it's the app fault.

  • although the specs look pretty good; 800 MHz processor and 512 MB RAM, this phone is as slow as a 200-year-old turtle, for example you can start a call and the person you're calling answers it while the p698 is still trying to show the call dialog! On the other side, the battery life is good, camera is acceptable, but overall I advise you not to buy it!

  • Available in Dubai on special offer at $109 (AED 399). Value for money...

  • After nine months with this phone, I love it so much. My boy dropped and tortured it so bad but nothing wrong happened to this phone. To date, it managed to pass over hundred drops, dozens hits on wall and heavy uses (i.e. Continuous wifi hotspot over 24 hours). Many people concern its battery but you should be aware that this issue depends on your usage. In fact I am satisfy with its battery. Full charge in the morning, take bus for 12 hours travel, over 3 hours of music play on the bus, about 2 hourson web browsing over mobile network, GPS on for occasional location check, about half hour calls and about half hour of p puzzle game, it showed 45% of remaining battery energy. This is my regular usage and I have no complaint. Link2sd will help you increase storage for apps and games but you must root your phone. I use Apex free launcher for ease of customization. This is my first time with LG and totally it is good.

  • It will not support flash player.It will not play flash file from the internet.

  • yes it does not have calendar reminders but you can download it from mobiles24.com

  • my p689 is working well, but how to move the installed apps on memory card?

  • Good phone all around. Battery does not last long, but still longer than a Galaxy S2 - just apply basic android tips (disable gps,bluetooth,3g if not needed etc). Very small internal storage, must be rooted (in order to use link2sd) to be really usable.

  • unfortunately, it may be that your standards are set low due to past experience. my nexus one lasted a full 2 days or more when the battery was new; even after 2.5 years, the battery lasts over 20 hours on standby - no such thing for this NEW phone I bought. The battery life is probably the worst I have seen on any new phone I have used in the past 12 years.

  • yes, you can switch off one sim

  • I bought this phone recently in the UAE. Its a piece of #$*&. The battery drains in less than a day with minimal usage (mostly on standby). The andriod implementation is buggy-most key presses are either not recognised or are repeated. The spellchecker is just wrong. I used a nexus one before this phone and that 2.5 year old phone had better response, longer battery life and just worked (and this is after 2.5 years of use and abuse). Whats good is the hard keys below the display which I found to be useful. The dual sim functionality is also useful (but thats what I bought the phone for). My other major complaint is about how the internal memory runs out in no time. Even though the SD card is ample (8 gigs), it doesnt help that if you install all the basic google services (maps, play, latitude), you effectively eat up over 80% of the internal memory. The LG apps included are useless and just more bloatware eating up the memory; there is even no way of controlling the Dual SIM functionality if you use a custom theme. I though that I should root this phone to tweak some performance and memory out of it, but after reading online, it doesnt help much so I decided not to. A huge disappointment; I agree the price is low but thats no excuse for a non functioning phone.

  • its a nice phone among anroaid

  • do not buy this mobile. lot of software issues and no software update from lg. most of the times phone does not detect sim cards. customer support is very bad.

  • Can you turn off one sim and just have one sim active for incoming calls? eg: on weekends when you don't want calls on the business sim?

  • Pls need update, incoming call is some freezy and delayed, calendar reminder notification doesnt work when in silent mode.. update for the adroid os pls

  • please suggest me any update.my phone is slow working.

  • any update?

  • No recommending this phone. I Have many issues under warranty period of this phone. It has many issues when use the dual sim. Signal strength is very bad when use both sim. Battery very poor. Abans Sri lanka LG agent was unable to give me solution for my issues of the mobile.

  • Guys if you are an Andriod User , normaly the battery will not last long ,, Ah smart Phone Needs to meet a Smart user ,, so dont ask why this phone can be used only for 18 - 20hr stanby mode and 8 - 15hr with the wifi on , downloading and playing games from andriod ,, in fact the phone is much better that gallaxy Y, gallaxy Pocket and Duos , this phone has a good camera and very nc sreen resolution .. =) LG is for gamers ,, im using LG Optimus 3D , Lg optimus Net P698 ..

  • dual sim . battery backup 5-6 hrs heavy use. with gps and wifi 3-4 hrs. internal memory sufficient 168.76 mb. camera 3 mp crisp photos without flash. nice inbuilt application manager app. best android phone in the range of less than Rs 10,000. quick toggle sim hard button.

  • I�ve using this phone for 7 six month, is bit good my problem is battery life is short need to charge at least every 8hours. signal strengh is very poor, if are using one network the other goes off. internal memory is low

  • Its a Dabba Phone.......... Main Problem is Battery Back-up is not good..... its a worst battery backup shame this handset.... same to LG Compnany

  • How can you manage the Standby Mode 49% - 50 % wifi off , Quality set on low ,, but mine still eats alot , i just had the phone for yesterday , i charged it and the battery had gone very fast , it doesnt even take 1 day and i have to charge it again , Can you please help me

  • Vry Good, Worth this value,Android, duel....etc i get battery back up for 2 days, only problem is when a call disconnect.. i need to tap 1-2 times.... other wise worth...

  • This phone is cheap and dual sim. Has enough RAM. That is the positive. On the negative side this phone does not have much internal memory for applications. But my main complain is speed. I have not really compared with other phones, but many actions takes much too long in my opinion for 800MHz processor. The slowest part is phone function. Contacts list lags. Many times its hard to answer a call because the screen slider just jumps back. And even worse is hanging the call. Sometimes I have to press 5-10 times for the red end call screen button to do the job! And even after that the phone displays call status which sometimes does not want to go away for at least 5 seconds. Frequently people say me that they barely hear me talking so I guess that mic is too quiet. The phone time by time looses data connection. I have to switch it off/on many times or change the GSM->WCDMA and back to get it working. But sometimes phone reboot is required to get internet back. So if you need PDA then this "phone" is ok. If you need primary for calling - search for a phone and not pda :)

  • how can i activate my handset setting?

  • net calling supporting or not ?

  • the only good thing about this phone is android dual sim.. but not at all satisfied with product quality..too slow. .delicate back panel.. sometimes icons gets opened wot clickin..if we use back button it works ..but other application gets clicked automaticalky..only solution lock keypad n unlock it again. whle makng or ending call i hve to prs icon 2 or 3 tms..it takes ages for screen to work after making or ending call.. im using this phone from 60 days..not at all satisfactory.. will swith back to nokia c5..

  • Hi All, This is looks like a smartphone and works also.. But the internal storage is very low..! Remaining features vth the cost is Better.. Thanks...

  • Till now best ever phone in Dual Sim Andriod Mobile... I compared this with Samsung Duos and Spice Dual Sim Models also... Best Price.. Best features vth the cost..

  • While d phone is ok, but the problem is baterry does not last long.There is the need to review the battery.

  • While d phone is ok, but the problem is baterry does not last long.There is the need to review the battery.

  • got this phone sometime ago, it seems to be too slow it takes ages to disconnect a call, any sw updates for that pls let me know

  • as am having the phone now for a month... am an Computer Networks Engineer and an amateur web designer and a Music-holic, this phone is Super in everything, never faced a lag, never faced a connection failure or data transmitting or receiving problems, the only problem with this phone is the memory capacity which is just 100Mb available for users and when downloading essential apps that cant be moved to the memory card it gets really low, but i have a 16Gb memory card and it is really working so smooth and i have all the apps i want as they are all ok with being moved to the memory sd card. i totally recommend this phone for business use and for professional users, as it looks really neat and professional and the battery stays for 30 hrs with an average of 4 hours talk time, 1 hour music and the rest are stand by.

  • it in deed supports java

  • dude even i used to face the same issue. but now i found d solution. it is because of go launcher or some other launcher apps tat hav been installed in the phone. u re install such app and i assure u, u will get rid of d pattern prob

  • It is a good dual sim phone and value for money product. You can use dual sim at the same time by using sim One for data/3g and sim two for voice. Even if you are downloading data on sim one, your sim 2 will be active. Overall a good phone. Download easy battery saver for longer battery usage.

  • this phone is very great but the only problem is sim which goes off when the other sim is been used.

  • I bought this 2 days before ...:) but the only problem is the pattern lock is not functioning properly . . could u plz. tel me any solution to this problem.

  • dont install task killer after that your battery life will be around 2 days m getting 2 days backup

  • Hii....well i got this phone a week ago and believe me its a superb phone...only problm is dat wen u r using sim 1 for call or internet, the odr sim is showed as TURNED OFF....but by diverting calls of odr sim dis problm can be solved ! My rating 8 /10

  • Hi all, Why this phone some time is getting off un-expected? By the way, for most comment to this device better do not go for it, you will regret!

  • When one sim is active, other sim card is shown as switch off/not reachable. I am pretty sure noone would like to buy such dual sim phone. because you will be missing number of calls when one of your one sim card is in use for calls/internet. Rather go for single sim phone with better functionality. if you have dual sim as priority go for cheaper phones[dnt go for android for dual sim] Battery life for samsung duos is very poor. so no good android phone for dual sim yet.

  • The other SIM is disabled when you are in a phone call, so people calling you (in your disabled SIM) will get the same message as if your phone is turned off.

  • for battery problems --make sure that the bluetooth is OFF/wifi if not used --make sure that you are in a high signal place --lower down the brightness --lower down the speaker --off the vibrations --alarms/snooze

  • can it play avi,mkv files with or without add applicatons

  • very good phone, no problems with the latest update! if you have data-connection on and automatic syncing, then the batterie ist down in about 1,5 - 2 days.

  • i want to ask about if i but 2 sim card and recive calls at first one anther sim what will give me: witting or Busy or not avilable

  • very good phone high Possibilities low price

  • Please review optimus net Dual and spice mi 425

  • Yes I upgrade mine and it will upgrade automatically

  • i want to buy it? should i buy it or go for another phone plz help me na?

  • i want to buy it? should i buy it or go for another phone plz help me na?

  • most hopeless phone till date..im using it since 2 months..tch screen responce is tooooo slw..good for net.

  • The calendar app doesn't show corretly tasks that takes more than one day. It shows only one time.

  • Signal is fluctuating. Sometimes no signal on 1 sim. Text messaging setup is faulty. No choice of sim after you press sent button unlike other dual sim phone. This is very helpful when you are on sim 1 and you receive text on sim 2. Many times you forget and you reply with sim 1 instead of using sim 2. Poor software design.

  • good phone......

  • i think that is cool

  • I like this ph0ne anyway. Especially in net access in wifi and sim net. B0th of that im using nw. Its great! One thing that i dnt lyk is n0 fr0nt camera.

  • lg p698 can upgrade to 4.0 or not plz tell me.

  • had it for a month now...phone overheats when many apps are opened at the same time. Battery drains as fast as it is charged and sim 2 keeps being inactive. cool though

  • This is a best

  • Been using for past 2 months-fairly satisfied overall with some reservations. PROS: Responsive:helps open apps quickly-WiFi browsing is fine-camera is reasonably good.Good GPS apps downloadable but make sure you have a car-charger handy. CONS: Overheats with GPS on inside AC car and caused it to shut down.Also heats up a lot while streaming video on WiFi or charging. Extremely poor battery life even with 2 SIMS in 2G mode.Using GPS for 30 minutes, WiFi (streaming video) uses up more that half of battery juice.So you need to hang around a PC, car-charger or just stay at home to be safe. Turning off one SIM interferes with and causes the other SIM to go offline for a while. Unable to connect thro PC Suite without getting error messages. Resolution and pixel density should be better to watch Youtube.

  • Bought this phone a week ago. phone overheats while recharging, coupled with the fact that the battery runs down fast requiring u to charge the phone about 3 times everyday. Network goes off at ramdom, this is a bug that needs to be corrected. calling and hanging off takes ages and sometimes annoying, sometimes takes up to 10s for the phone to return to homescreen and make another call. This is a bad product especially with the network going off. customer service is not also helful.

  • good phone.

  • samsung galaxy y duos,becoz of both sim are active mode(stand by) while you are using net.

  • Yes, i agree with u

  • :-) good phone actually.

  • I don't agree with you. The screen of LG is more beautiful and sharp than Galaxy Duo. Battery is too.

  • hi peeps again with the same question pls can you help me with an idea as how to download a football game.?????????????

  • Why not GSMarena not displaying all comments here. I have posted one comment for LG P698 (Net Dual) before few days, but it is not there in the list Does gsmarena have started favoring mobile companies???

  • so far so good.. installed 2x battery to prolong the battery life.. no problem experience in both sims. You need to know the LG optimus net features in order to maximize the use of it.

  • this phone is excellent. it amazing it has very good touch flow and good camera plus good pictures and most important battery life is very very good if u compare with galaxy y or galaxy y duos it very better in look and battery pack up if any feed back is there mines only one it not have front camera so. it very very good

  • what is a loss in byuing

  • i disagree, very good phone any smart phone with push email , facebook etc always on will drain the battery try disabling data whn not using and you will see

  • at present samsung galaxy Y duos s6102 is the best android dual sim mobile rather than LG optimus net dual

  • I am facing the same problem I have no signal in both sims and i dont know what to do? Any suggestion I bouhgt it 1 week ago

  • Kindly dont go for LG. Just select other brands like SAMSUNG. I bought LG T515 and LG-698 NET DUO. The T515 build quality is not good and performance also not upto the price I have paid(but its sound clarity is very good). And p698 net duo....it has a calling problem. If you want to use as android app gadget just go for it, but not for a mobile phone.

  • Yes. I agree 100% with Rajiv. This phone has network problem. When I am trying to hangup the phone it is almost taking 1 to 2 minutes to show home screen. I am unable to make a second call immediately. The call end button also does not activate immediately to hang up the call. Many times after pressing the End button it is hanging up the call after 10 to 15 seconds and immediately the homescreen will not come. What LG is doing when many users complaining of this important drawback? Except for calling it is ONE OF best android phone. Wake up LG!! Before it goes extinct and kindly release a update to save your loyal customers and their money!!

  • 2 days back i have purchased this mobile,i would recommend not to by this phone pros:display only cons: 1)both sim network will automatically get out of signal ,need to re search the network ,trust me this model has serious problem of network signal ,i have confirmed with many users.( LG try to fix this bug) 2)when gprs is used also second sim2 is out of network and not reachable ,when not in use with gprs sim2 get activated in few mintue,which is anoying heavy as compared to samsung y duos 3)heavy

  • Am using this for 3 months..Its really good phone comparing to Galaxy y duos..Main disadv is camera clarity is not good....

  • how to turn-off the mobile radio on this phone? because it used up all my battery? anyone knows?

  • Oh dear please dont go for the LG I bought mine amonth ago and I have to charge it atleast 3 times a day. It has back up battery 28 min while browsing,it goes off whenever am making calls.It overheats excessively.They confused this one with a microwave.I bought it at com cop please save yourself the agony.Go for quality products leave LG for microwaves and ovens.

  • Thanks bro u realy helped me . . . . .

  • galaxyy duo is better comparison lgp698

  • this phone have a better points per pixel ppi than samsung y duos, but it have only 3g in sim1, apparently samsung have 3g on both, and the battery of samsung is 1300mah vs this than have 1500mah si in standby and talking time is a little bit more longer. other good point is, both have the same internal memory, so the phone with less self non-uses garbage apps will better, cuz will have more space for what you really need. (most of apps can be saved on sd card, but some critical apps like whatsapp must be installed in internal memory for be more stable) clonick.com

  • I'm planning to buy a 3g android below 10000,dual sim.Samsung galaxy y duos or lg optimus net dual which is good?or any other phones?

  • i have this phone and it does not happend, in mexico with telcel and movistar works very well!

  • Unfortunately, I invested Rs.10,500 on this phone reading the positive reviews BUT I had serious issues with it. And to top it all, After Sales Service is pathetic. DO NOT BUY this product as this current lot is reported to have many technical issues, as mentioned below: 1. Battery back up of 18 hrs only with only half an hour 3G usage and half an hour of talking. 2. Camera does not respond in one touch. You need to touch it at least 10-15 times in different angles. 3. SMS notification stops on its own. 4. SIM gets deactivated on its own. 5. Screen flickers on its own. 6. Many applications start running on its own (around 35 applications at a time) And many more...

  • go for samsung galaxy y duos its way better if u want a proof see the review of the phone on this site

  • Waste phone.. Signal goes off and does not come back automatically and immeditely after you end up with anonther sim call.

  • m confused b/n galaxy y and p698 . both have little difference ( dual standby ,memory,gpu and screen resolution ) which one is better ? plz help me as soon as possible.

  • does it support adobe flash 11 ? please help me

  • hello everyone...i m thinking to buy dual sim android phone so pls tell me whether i have to buy lg optimus net dual or samsung galaxy y duos???? pls reply me as soon as possible.

  • Well hi peeps m using this phone for atleast ancouple of weeks but yet i am unable to download a football game.can you pls revert on the same if any one has idea about the same.thank you???????????????

  • I have been using it for 4 months now. Perfect battery. Lousy internal memory and Camera resolution, thus you cannot share that much photos with people, and you cannot install so many applications (specially that you cannot control where to install if it is not Rooted). It is perfect for smart users, I guess you have to outsmart Optimus to get use it's Android features. I recommend it, and I wish LG make the higher feature smartphones with a dual sim ability

  • I am using this phone from 4 months in india Can we upgrade it it to next level that is ICS 4 If not yyyy plz repl

  • this is best dual sim android ever! i'm using this from 1week & no problem...plays max 640p vids (640*480), dual sim fine..., camera good..., phone gets heated using net but thats normal... i would recommend this phone... BETTER THAN Y DUOS ANYTYM ;)

  • Display is brilliant. Phone gets heated up. If u can put 2000 more and buy Xperia miniX10. (1 GHz processor , 5Mp camera @720p ) But still phone is worth for money :)

  • pls is there any update for this lg phone?

  • Very stylish. display is superb. smart and performer. my first android. much much better then GY duos. RAM, display resolution, battery, design, sound everything is better then other android dual sim phones. love it

  • this phone is amazing,I don't have anything to complain for this super surp for over four month everything is great nice phone thanks to LG and android for making the King of Dual

  • Calling no problem, but receiving a nightmare

  • you can still use call and text on sim 2 while browsing the web from sim 1 and vice versa.

  • go to polaris viewer.....it is the memorycard explorer

  • Had this phone now for 2 months plus. I upgraded my previous LG dual sim to the android version. Have found that it slows down a lot. All my apps are on my card. Only pre-loaded and a couple of apps sitting on the phone. Many restarts. Sometimes gets caught up in its own loop and eventually comes back to where you were. Other times have to restart manually to get the phone to work correctly. Signal for sending texts not good. Shows 4 bars, but constant re-sending. Especially with Sun (Philippines), but maybe their network even in a good signal area. If you send a text while receiving. It stops your outgoing text. So you have to send again. ANNOYING! Sometimes go to SMS Messages and up pops YMail or a YMess. Screen is nice to look at. Pocket size, which is great. Changing sims, easy. Overall its not a bad phone. But I think the software, maybe Android, maybe LG's mix (who knows) is quirky and gets annoying. But its generally a cheap end Android. Would be nice if a Manufacturer would bring out a good-spec'd Dual Sim. But it seems they want to keep them low-budget items. Strange!

  • Its very good mobile. excellent display.

  • I am unable to connect internet(gprs) to pc by my p698. how to do it.

  • it seems you run out of phone memory, due to over-installation of apps in it, which caused the phone to function slower. you should transfer your apps to external memory (card) after installation. don't fill up all phone memory space with apps. Phone also uses it to run your apps (buffering).

  • Not a god phone for call, for browsing good. Samsung S6102 is better. In Samsung there is option '" allow other sim to receive call while data downloading". There is no such option in P698. while downloading data even the calls to other sim not getting through.

  • Please make a review for this phone. Thanks...

  • Hi this phone is Excellent, since I am using it frm past 15days

  • thank u

  • thank u

  • how can i explore memory card, how to install an application located in memory card.

  • pls upgrade ur phone from nearby service centre..this issue will be fixed..

  • too bad. it keeps crashing, even when we need to call.

  • I bought the phone 3 dAys back....while u browsing in sim 1,sim slot 2 get no network....is issu am facing...after changed the os also samw problem

  • The Phone is ideal for Browsing and Internet related functions. Messaging is super smart and smooth. The phone is a DISASTER especially when ending calls and making calls. Basic Phone feautures very badly designed and lets you down in critical moments. Battery life SUCKS.

  • very good mobile..better than galaxy y duos my bro has galaxy y duos which is a slow phone... it's really faster than y duos and better screen resolution... for normal use of mobile this will give one and half day of battery and gives you 6 hrs of continuous talk time..i had tested it... actually not any mobile will run more than 5-6 hrs when using internet or wi-fi continuously...this will give of 5 hrs battery when i'm using wi-fi in my office... pros: 1.good touch response 2.better screen resolution and very good brightness levels 3.512Mb ram & GPU (useful for games) 4.better processer speed 5.easy sim swithing button 6. 3.2" inches display 7.nice cam 8. internet is really fast...and browsing experience is really wonderful due to better screen resolution.. 9. games run very fast. 10.1500 Mah battery cons: 1.no flash 2.only 150 Mb internal memory 3.battery is good but not better 4.doesn't had a dedicated call end key...so some times we got confusion if you are new to touch mobiles... 5.call connecting is sometimes get slow...not interactive to look.. 6.no front cam for video calling if you are a video call lover..if your area does not have any 3g coverage no problem of worrying about front cam... finally....a best mobile and worth of buy it.. if you are a games lover and want good quality screen and best browsing experience go for optimus net dual.. if you want little bit more battery life with out good screen resolution and slow mobile of good brand name go to any other mobile....don't underestimate LG..it's also a good brand but lack of advertisement...

  • i think your handset got some problem!!...i'm using this mobile, applications run very good..angry birds plays awesome in this mobile...it runs asphalt 5 also very good..

  • A problem for who use pockets: sometimes it could recognize your leg through the cloth. If someone calls you it could hang up the phone call sending a "I'm busy now" message, for example.

  • I Bought This Phone One Week Ago It is very Zeft Phone Very Very Slow Very Weak Battery Very Low Sound I hit This Phone & Want To Sell It.

  • Hi, does anyone one can give me pleased a step by step procedure on how work GPRS on P698 Thanks !! danilo

  • In general it's a good mobile phone. The battery is not so long, I use it very often with GPRS internet and wifi, so, It takes about a day and a half or two days to be over. The sms from both SIMs are united, and it's simple to switch from one SIM to another. 150mb is not much internal memory if you are a hard google play user, it's necessary to migrate many apps to the SD card. It uses to be fast, Angry Birds for example is laggy a few times. Texting is not confortable in potrait mode, you would prefer landscape.

  • I never faced any issues installing apps from market.

  • It is not CDMA enabled, but just WCDMA which means 3.5G. It is a technology used by GSM operators and CDMA sim would not work.

  • My LG Optimus Dual Net P698 doesn't work/browse to enternernet using wi-fi connection. It shows always "no connection" even the signal is strong. But there is no problem using enternet simcard. Pls help me to how to fix this.

  • This is a good phone for features and functions if u dont overload with too many apps (open at the same time). As this phone RAM is 512, so opening too many apps at the same time will defenitely slow down the phone. I have been using dual sim card phone since 5-6 years ago due to work requirement and so far this is the best dual sim phone at this price tag. Willing to pay higher for better spec dual sim (GSM) phone but so far not available yet...

  • point of correction it is! It is just not a dual "gsm sim" mobile phone. its for both gsm & cdma that is if cdma constitute a major telecom choice option in your home country.

  • I had this phone for three weeks. I was excited about the Android market and installed a bunch of basic apps that I normally use. The phone became very slow and useless. In some cases I wasn't able to receive calls from the delay. I ran the factory reset and when it restarted just kept it simple with no apps. Its now working fine. Bottom line... If you want a phone to run android market application this phone will give you a hard time. But just to receive calls and manage your gmail accounts it will do that job.

  • I have data card in sim1(3G) and phone card in sim2. Is there any fix or setting that sim2 can interrupt data transfer from sim1 and get call? Like, Sim2 to be primary and can always accept the calls no matter if sim1 is used for net?

  • lg optimus is best if you want a phone with a good clarity phone.!!! but if you are an accesory freak go for galaxy y duos..!! galaxy y is dual active while lg is single active dual sim..!! battery life is better for lg optimus..!!

  • about if the GPRS is used in sim 1, YES the sim 2 shows as a connected but if you call to the number, it says than is power off or something (not busy) and when you turn of gprs it instantly can recive incoming calls from sim 2 (cuz the signal never lost or never switch off) but as I know, any dual sim do the same with the other sim. also at my opinium... YES LG optimus net dual is better than samsung galaxy DUOS but is only my opinion...

  • Excellent battery life on 2 sims (wifi gps off) almost 4 days standby (approx 1% per hour) use it when I travel. Perfect smartphone for 2 sims. As a primary phone not like my iPhone of course but when the battery dies on the iPhone. I pick this up with 2 sims and I'm good to go with on par capabilities

  • I can�t connect my phone to LG pc suite,is telling me that Device is not connected.Pls if you have in count with surge problem kindly assist me in this forum tanz .

  • another sim remains active if gprs active either on sim1 or sim2.....another sim donot show swith off if other sim is on call....it is better than samsung duas. i m using this phone. dual sim feature really simple.

  • how long is the proper charging time for a new LG P698? the first time i charged (phone not yet opened/configured) was about 1h45m. then the second time was 2h. after the second charge, i just got 3 days of battery life. take note that the fone is just on standby most of the time, i seldom used it, only for receiving sms. im not using the net, wifi, bluetooth, camera, etc.

  • lg optimus net dual is better.. compared both of these already cause im planning to buy one

  • plese tell me if GPRS is used on 1 st sim card the second sim becomes inactive ( switched off for the person calling 2nd sim number ) is this true????

  • I've LG Optimus Net Dual and I don't recommend it. The touch screen sucks. Very slow. LAGS every time you want to call. ..etc.

  • which is best? samsung galaxy duos or LG optimus net dual.... plz reply me urgent

  • Go menu Settings Wireless and network WiFi On that's all

  • Own one and quite satisfied with this phone. slightly slow but thats best dual sim phone on overall (performance, standby time, full features...). Dont expect flying performance ... but light weight not bulky!

  • When I am surfing the net through SIM 1, via 2G/3G, can I make a call from SIM 2 or can i receive call and sms in for both the SIMs ? .

  • I just wanna ask if I used sim 1 for 3g data connection for 1 whole day always on. For my intant messanger and some surfing, Will I receive calls and text to the second sim?

  • down load LG pc suite first to your PC, i try this and use the charging USB cable, do not attached your cell phone , better download the user manual too.

  • 1.there is a number enclosed in ( ) that tells you if its SIM 1 or SIM 2 after the sender number 2, at the bottom of the message this note is posted "received by sim 1 or sim 2( as the case maybe)

  • yes, dual standby, dual Sim On

  • 1.no screen available = buy any bigger screen guard,cut a paper as its template to the actual size of the screen, practice to get the correct screen size - its cheaper too before cutting the screen guard and when you got the correct size and trim, use the paper as the template for cutting the screen guard. 2. try nokia cphone rubber guard for c3 or c5, make a hole for the charging/usb adapter 3. i did it to my lgp698 too

  • Calling nd messaging is pathetically slow and freezy No dedicated end call option for sim 2 Sim 2 off whn usng GPRS on sim 1. Proximity sensor not wrking fne.. ..awsum for internet. no to optimus..

  • Gta not working plz help me plz..........

  • LG Optimus Net Dual p698 or LG Optimus Net p690 which is best

  • is this phone is better option for me. or not.

  • can i upgrade this android os 2.3.4 .how to update this os.

  • GTA 3 open but not display wat problem lg optimus net dual

  • The phone is slow, browsing is fine with WI-FI, The problem I always had is the DATA RECEPTION, neither or both Sim always turns off when 1 sim is utilized, Sim 1 Always turns off while it shifts to gprs/3g/hspa mode of reception which is reall a downside when you are in an area where there is weak signal.

  • nice

  • I got a first Net Dual and exchanged it the next day as the phone, messaging and contact apps was always freezing. Same thing happened with the second phone. It is an excellent internet device but the phone/messaging app is extremely slow; most of the times, the name of the caller only shows after the 6th ring. Needs improvement

  • Sorry Data stop on SIM2 while receiving call on SIM1

  • I tried this too. No change. But now I activated call waiting on SIM1, and I could receive majority of calls on SIM1 while SIM2 is being used for Data. ( Data reception stop in SIM2 while on call on SIM2).

  • The following alpabets will appear depends on availability. But if you use ''GSM ONLY'' option E will only appear. E- EDGE (2.5G) 3g - 3G H-HSDPA

  • In My phone, insert two sims and its working good. but in the signal strenth area there is one alpabet shoing " E " in both the sim, what is this and how we can deactivate, is this charge any additional cost????

  • Correction. Galaxy ace duos is not a dual sim.

  • Nanda, Put data sim in sim1 slot and call sim in sim2. It works for me. However, sometimes I face a problem with 3g enabled in sim1. What happens is after a call/sms on sim2, there is no network on sim1 and you have to reboot the phone.

  • Hi, Does anyone know how to activate WiFi on P698....So many tries, but its just not working.Can anyone give a step by step procedure.. Thanks !! Vijayan

  • In your set up... Galaxy ace duos is right for you. Sim1 GSM Sim2 is data. Try to check it... But froyo os ...

  • I have only call in SIM1 & No Data. For SIM2 only data & no call

  • we need update for the software from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 why are you slow in releasing updates????

  • Try call divert. I don't have dual sim, and haven't try it. Just an idea.

SIM1 using for call and SIM2 using for data only. While downloading data using Sim2 any incoming call to SIM1 is getting rejected. The calling parties always complain that my phone is switched off. Is there any solution for the above?

  • its a good phone compared to models at this range. others would be commenting on looking brand name. but dont believe 1500 mah because its not at all enough. but others are good. i am using this phone. i recommend it. i got for 9800.

  • NO...

  • Its a good phone but calling is slow. it displays frequently that androd.process.com is failed & we to force close it. It hangs very frequently....

  • i use this phone for last 1 month. i prfer plz dont buy this phone. only battry back up os good. its dual inactive phone, use internet or call on one sim the other sim is disable. hung resently u need to resat it many time in day. 3 mp is lools loke 2 mp of samsung. never refar this phone from my personal use.

  • how many apps i can install in this smartphone

  • Good day. Is there a way to increase the internal storage phone memory of OPTIMUS NET DUAL SIM (LG-P698)? I have more than 3000 phonebook entries and it consumes more than 90mb of the 160mb (ROM) internal storage phone memory thus the phone really becomes slow. The buffer time is really long for the wait sometimes. I do hope you could give any information. THANKS.

  • When one sim is active during a call, the other sim becomes inactive

  • i think your answer is false(or maybe im wrong).. it's either it's flash supported or it's HTML5 supported. i tried using it and i can watch youtube videos through its browser. youtube requires flash player right?

  • buy LG Optimus Net Dual because it's price has the best specs (next to Sony Ericsson devices) compared to other phone with the same price... and there's a small price gap between optimus net dual than the optimus net. though galaxy ace is better (except for ram) the price is more expensive for a small difference in their specifications

  • Choosing between this phone and samsung galaxy Y is choosing between its good battery backup and java conection the oher.

  • no its only for dual active

  • I have question...please..... Can I receive call on my 2 sim while i am busy with my 1 sim?

  • I recently lost my Optimus-1 P500 :( Now looking for a new Android device below price Rs.12K most probably single SIM handset will do, but after reading these posts and its specifications. I liked LG Optimus Net Dual Can anyone suggest among below: 1. Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 2. LG Optimus Net Dual P698 3. LG Optimus Net P690 Thanks,

  • Yes, anti-theft insurance policy from Chola comes packed wid LG GSM handsets. Not sure if applicable for all models.I had LG Optimus1 P500, which unfortunately got stolen. After calling LG Cust care, got to know abt it. If the handset is under warranty i.e within 1 yr from purchase it is covered under this insurance. however the policy also mentions that it is applicable to the LG GSM handset purchased from 7-Apr-2011 till 6-Apr-2012 You can check with the Chola-MS Toll free number 1800-200-5544 for all the details.

  • Really good phone i live in Pakistan and got it from www.cellmart.pk

  • HI Pals & Gals I bought this phone, now a month old. First of all I want to say you that it has all features except video call, Phone looks good, very much stylish than in pics. 1. Both sim slots are supported with WCDMA, If you put two 3G sims, only one will work for 3G and other will work with 2G. (User have a choice which sim to be in 3G, automatically other converts to 2G)., I say this is good to save to battery. 2.Both sims are running active unless you are on call. When your on call(outgoing/incoming) other network will be in standby and comes back to network once call completed. 3.You can swap the network between two sims with a easy button provided to sim1/sim2. 4.Battery holds good as I expected running for more than 2 days (for normal usage) and 1day( if you browse/play songs/Games around 4hrs or more). Full charging takes 2 hrs. 5. supports 2.3.4 android, with 7 screen desktop options, All android features and functional is supported and I took black colored mobile also provided two back panels one is black & other is Gray, you can change. 6. Wi-fi connectivity is really nice. As usual if you use wi-fi hotspot(router) for data sharing kills more battery. Just for test, I switch on wi-fi router and connected internet from my laptop for 3hrs is battery is down to 50%. Off-curse this is common for any mobile. Remember battery provided is 1500mh we should say its not bad. 6. Price: Rs.10,600(INR-Bangalore) Really worth buying it. This is first branded phone with 3G+android+dualsim+Wi-fi+3MegaPixel+GPS+1YearThe­­ft warranty in India. No other choice with this performance. 7. Not but the lease, Angry birds is really runs good. 8.Samsung coming with two models soon with same features & dual sim 3G+ android,hopefully next month. But configuration is little low then LGP680, ######### LG Versus Samsung is below ############### LG Net dual P689: ------------------- 512 MB RAM 320 x 480 pixels, 3.2 inches (~180 ppi pixel density) Android OS, v2.3.4 (Gingerbread) CPU: 800 MHz ARMv6 Standard battery, Li-Ion 1500 mAh Sumsung Galxy Y Dous S6102 ----------------------------- 384 MB RAM 240 x 320 pixels, 3.14 inches (~127 ppi pixel density) Android OS, v2.3 (Gingerbread) CPU:832 MHz Standard battery, Li-Ion 1300 mAh Almost other hardware are common for both models. Looks LG have higher hardware. Mainly LG battery & pixel is better than samsung. I will keep updating pros & cons in long run. Stay tuned. Cheers Kisun

  • go for it ,,,, better than samsung ... 512mb ram...nd 1500mah btry...............super...hvga display...awsm mpbile in dis range,,,,go for lg ,,,go lg go....

  • it does support divx out the box but for flash u can install bs player

  • Use the LG PC suite,to connect to the PC.

  • Also check Micromax A75

  • Hi I've been trying to buy this one for few weeks but waiting for a good bargain. I also wanted insurance along with it. From my enquiries, I knew that it is available with very few dealers. Now, one dealer tells me it comes packed with anti-theft insurance from Cholamandalam. I never came across this insurance thing anywhere in my reviews. Ppl who have bought it in India, can u pls elaborate on it. Can u also tell me if the insurance feature is available for online purchase Thanks in anticipation

  • A really good phone, worth every single penny.

  • Is this a dual standby phone?

  • Hello, I'm interested on LG Optimus - P698. I need to know if this mobile will work in the Italian country (Vodafone & TIM providers). Who may help, please?

  • i must say good battery backup last for 2 days with minimum use of calls,snaps,games etc... having trouble with charging............ phone got switched off as usual,since i forget adapter somewhere trying to charge via usb,but its just the lg logo screen and 4 buttons are flashing with vibration.

  • some of us here are having problems with their P698. I have been using mine for 4 months and I say that I'm pleased with it. A full charnged battery lasts 3 days with calls and SMS. I make sure that i have a battery saver and task killer installed to minimize active apps. also, there are 2000mah batteries available if you want more power.

  • I've been using this phone for a while now. It is a very good phone with good internets connectivity. But I don't know how to connect to pc through. Bluetooth or through USB cable. Pls can somebody help me? Thank you.

  • I need someone who has used this phone for sometime to tell me what they really think of it. I need a dual SIM smart phone and there aren't too many around. Have been concerned that LG is new to this business of manufacturing mobile phones as compared to Nokia or Samsung and not too certain how safe it is. what is the warranty on it?

  • yes, its dual standby. if somebody will call you in sim1, sim2 is switched off. if youre using sim1 and somebody will call you in sim2, he/she would hear that your sim2 is closed but after the call in sim1 you will receive a message that you missed a call in sim2. both sims can receive text messages at the same time.

  • I just buy this phone...nice phone...

  • Hi Ravi, I am using this mobile from past 20days onwards, It is TRUE that whatever you commented. whenever I am downloading any videos by using gprs(sim1) then automatically SIM2 is getting disabled and not able to enable again. If i restart my mobile again both SIMs are working fine. But apart from this This is really worth to buy, I didnt find this phone features in any of the other mobile at this COST. Every DUAL sim is having issues with using of GPRS and SIM2.

  • hey...i took this phone...phone s pretty nice..bt whle im using music as ringtone..incomming call strts wth slow ringing nd thn rngtne volume increases..is ths a nrml thng?or my cell s defective?pls hlp me

  • Waste phone. 1. No touch response, screen going black while in call and unable to end it. 2. BT is only one way. User can receive files to this phone but can't send to other phones. 3. Standby mode for two SIMs is not so useful. 4. Battery dries very easily, especially on Wi-Fi Don't go for this phone

  • Hi, I am using this mobile. its nice to use.

  • Hi guys i bought this phone before 20 days its an awesome phone only problem is that its calling speed is dissapointing. Even you cut the call it takes 2 to 5 seconds to end up the call. Can somebody tell me y this is happening? And I am also receiving notifications frequently that the com.android.process stopped unexpectedly & phone hangs for 5 min. please give me some solution....... waiting 4 reply. Battery is good.

  • What is the meaning of this (( Multitouch up to 2 fingers)). Can anyone explain me.... Thxn inadvance.

  • Hey Friends..is this mobile worth buying or should i wait for samsung galaxy y duos..i observed that most of the reviews are against this phone but still m confused coz it has good specs than sammy and is in my budget.. so guys pls help me out

  • I was just about to buy this phone next week. It's the best phone ever because It has many beautiful new features. I don't think that the battery is the problem at all. I had HTC wildfire S before and dude, It's the worst phone when it comes to battery. If you use it a lot like texting and surfing, the battery last for like only how many hours, not A DAY. It's android and it's dual sim. IT HAS EVERYTHING :)

  • Is lg optimus net dual has Dual Stand By.. Since its not mentioned in specs as it is in Samsung Y dual. Thanx.

  • Happy with everything exept BATTERY! If you only call - it is OK for 3 days.

  • not good phone lg net dual and spice mi 350 is better

  • not good phone lg net dual and spice mi 350 is better

  • Somewhere I read that even if you use GPRS one one SIM (say you are browsing), your other SIM remains inactive and callers get a message that you are unreachable. Can someone confirm this? Follow this procedure: 1. Put two SIMs, one with GPRS enabled. 2. Download something from the web so that there is continuous usage of GPRS. 3. Call from another phone to the second SIM which is not GPRS enabled. 4. See whether you were able to receive calls or not.

  • i am also looking for the same models, but u read & c the reviews ur self, ive read them, lg has too many problems from reviews, i prefer & will put my money on samsung as ive been using samsung for 6 years now.

  • LG is good compared Samsung Y duos but Motorola xt532 is also a good option.

  • Hi most of the friends not recommend this lg net dual, because of its low battery back up and less screen sensitivity, and much more.

  • i wont to buy an extra battery? can some one help from were can i buy it? please help i have lg p698

  • please who knows between lg optimus net dual and samsung galaxy y duos which is better? Thanx, waiting for reply.

  • i like ,but battery isn't good

  • stembus: How did you r**t it? Any reference would help and what ROMs are available.

  • Does this celphone have suport to flash?

  • its awesome.......................

  • Go for motorola xt532.

  • I bought LG Optimus Net Dual 3 days ago, but I'm not satisfied with the battery life. It won't last a day even in standby mode.

  • It is because galaxy y duos has a higher processor and an updated gingerbread 2.3.6 OS...wait till optimus net get their official update for 2.3.4 - 2.3.6...

  • very poor battery backup if u use wifi in a 15 mins it goes deid. . .normall talk time comes not more than 60 mins.

  • Hi, There is NO custom ROM yet, but there are some different ROMs for use...and of course, you can r**t it - I just did it! ;)

  • thre s no rom? Or it hs nd nt mentioned here?

  • i have and im using both (samsung galaxy y pro duos and lg optimus net dual) mobiles. i advise you to buy samsung galaxy y pro duos. both mobiles lag but lg lags a lot compared to samsung. even the touchscreen of lg is not as sensitive like samsung so when you do it fast you get delayed with lg.

  • The bad thing about this phone is that there is no community support or custom ROM yet. When you buy an Android, you definitely want to root it, right.

  • of corse optimus net dual..... it is best smartphone ever with dual sim facility.... i will give 9* out of 10* lovely phone....i m using it since past 15 days

  • please suggest me which phone is the best among samsung galaxy y pro duos,lg optimus net dual or motorola xt532......please help!!!

  • hi all. this fon is swesome. m using this fone for one weak. what u should look main in a good fone 1. screen resolution 2. battery backup 3. cpu & ram 4. operating system in all above, this fon is better than samsung galaxy y duos. its very nice fone.

  • Okay, but kinda slow sometimes. Can't wait for a dual sim iphone.

  • Hi lot of applications are available to download youtube videos and torrent files. I using this mobile for last 20days. now a days i avoid to use my PC, because its like a miny laptop and all features are available. overall good to compare with samsng and sony mobiles.

  • Is there an update of Android 4.0 Icecream Sandwich for this phone?

  • Actualy it is given in specification that it support utube.It has gpu means u can dwnld live wallpaper on it and also play games vith better resolution.While i think smsung may not hv gpu facility

  • I'm using this phone for about 10 days now. Bought on Flipkart.com Screen & Picture quality is awesome: best in class. Voice loudness in call: bit soft. Not so audible, esp in outdoors. Even music loudspeaker volume is not great. So you're very likely to miss the rings when outdoors unless the vibration is on. Touch screen is overall good and sensitive, but it seems there are bugs related to typing. keystrokes barely work on the touch screen when in call, or after a resume from screen locking-unlocking. Even the call end key (touch) works intermittently. If you want to call IVR and have to enter your credit card no, it is virtually not possible to get it right even in 2nd or 3rd attempt. If you turn off/on GPRS data repeatedly for about 5-10 times in a day or two, finally when you turn on the GSM Data, it doesn't work. You need to reboot your phone to get it to work. But otherwise, I feel its a great phone - value for money, and surely a great Dual Sim Android in the market. Camera is good too. Very handy. Battery life is what you can expect from a dual sim android. I don't talk much - just use 3G Data and at times Wi-Fi, and may be 30 mins of talking in a day, and the battery lasts only 1 day (or less). Have used Spice MI-270 (dual sim andorid 2.2) for about 6-8 months, which I felt was great too, the major disadvantage there was touch-screen being resistive, so needed to use stylus for typing. But that had hardware keys for calling and ending the call - making it quite reliable on that front.

  • YouTube is their but you cannot download the YouTube files so your looking in dual handset then go for this mobile compared to galaxy Y duos or other best option is Motorola XT532.

  • Guys i want to know, does this cellphone supports youtube videos for watching as well as for downloading? Guys please let me know yaar. M planning to buy it and 1 more thing should i wait 4 galaxy y duos or should i go for dis cell?

  • What countries is it available? anyone know a company that ships it to Europe (netherlands)?

  • hi0 to all of you have or want to get this device: -you should read androi 2.3 guide. get it from here:http://shop.sprint.com/global/pdf/user_guid­es/samsung/nexus_s/samsung_nexus_s_ug.pdf. - you should read the phone guide, get it from lg site. is is really important to read android guide. regards

M HAPPY N SATISFIED CUSTOMER OF LG.. thanks LG

  • Smart dialing available in this mobile phone, please reply as i have to purchase.

  • 1) This phone is good. 2) I am using this since 10 days. 3) Both sims are ready to do call/sms in idle mode. When we use 1 sim another goes offline, but when we end use of 1 st sim both and came back in idle mode both sims were again ready for use. ' 4) There is some lags ( and its obvious due too low processing power/ and low ram). 5)Internal memory is very low.

  • Hi Users. I helped my bro buy this phone and so i had a few days to tool around with it. here is my take. Good battery life for android dual sim 3g midrange resolution screen handset. if you are not using wifi bluetooth 3g, please switch off to preserve battery. Lower. your brightness to zero, it will still be visible. Android gives options to stop running apps. Just go to setting then applications. Dual sim standby function. only one sim can be on 3g/wcdma/hsdpa at once, the other remains 2g but you can switch this function between sims or make both sims 2g if you are so inclined. Great screen resolution for games eg ninjump, bubble pop, pinball, mage wars, irunner. also good apps. like whatsapp, kakaotalk, googletalk, juice defender, opera mini browser, etc. signal strength capture is sensitive at times but this is common in dual sim handsets. it is not an LG issue alone. This is a phone that has risen on reputation alone with next to zero advertizing/marketing on the part of lg. it totally eclipses it's samsung counterparts in functions, performance, looks and user appeal. believe me, i use only samsung and se products yet this lg handset has set a pace that will define a new niche for lg if they continue to deliver quality like this. samsung is slowly going the way of nokia and se, eg launching galaxy ace duos but saddling users with cdma and gsm as well as overbearing touchwiz ui which taxes android's battery usage experience. sad. at least give the galaxy ace dual gsm sim options for crying out loud. lg has done a good job on pooling specifications, material quality, design, functions, accurate battery choice and excellent response to consumer needs. let us see what the future holds.

  • I bought the mobile last week. i was using LG optimus1 . everything is working fine loving it . no regrets . bought @ 10500

  • I want to buy this phone. Please provide genuine feedback. * Battery backup(how many hrs if you speak cont) * Sound quality when you attend a call. * camera Quality Thanks

  • It supports 1 and 2 both.

  • Read my earlier post named under kisun, you can judge it. Regards Kisun

  • Well if i'm going to choose between galaxy Y and this one, i'll choose this one for it's : 1. dual sim 2. larger display ( 3.2" vs. 3" ) 3. larger resolution ( 320x480 vs. 240x320 ) 4. camera ( 3.2mp vs 2mp ) but samsung has much responsive touch, but u can bear with it. But if i had a budget for this fone, i just going to add an extra buck and will get Xperia Mini sacrificing the dual sim features for much more higher android specs with the extra bucks.

  • can i use one sim for tethering[wi fi hotspot] and another for calling at the same time without any effect on net speeed please answer

  • lg optimus dual 200 times better then samsung

  • is samsung galaxy y duos faster then this?wch 1 betr?on what grounds?

  • slower...than samsung counterpart analyzing it...its a small phone, so it has a smaller qwerty keypad to fit your finger. so you will use LG phone setup keypad...but its LCD screen? less sensitive or responsive. sometimes, it does'nt even react in your touch making you lost while typing. in the end...it will make you crave for a new,reliable dual sim android

  • which is better Lg optimus net dual, or samsung galaxy y pro duo...anyone with an answer ASAP!!

  • Hi, Yes - B7722 use samsung dolphin browser and....its peace of crap - its not possible to show 80% of web pages "not enough memory" issue. But I installed opera mini (java aplication) and since that I can browse all web pages without any problems

  • cannot compare LG wth samsung in India.. Samsung is topper from 2 years..good service set-up, easily avalability of parts..i prefer samsung..

  • How it works internet browsing on the Samsung B7722? Is it real slow and certain sites do not open?

  • Hey latika dont get confused. No 1 andriod mobile in the world that supporta java. jbed is an appliction tht converts java files into .apk that supports andoid. in this way u can run java apps ,games on android. ok. and java script is different concept from that. which provides supporrts to browser. so all brosers hav java script. this 1 also. k.similarly also one thing i wanna say to all friends that this mobile not supports flash video. but flash player works fine with youtube and all beowsers. ok.

  • Hey kisun thanks for ultimate revoew. i agree with u. i also brought yesterday . i m only having prob with my usb connecrion. i m not able to connect phone to pc suit. i want to use usb modem to connect internet. but whats going wrong with me plz help me. i m using xp. and my lg mobile version is v10b showing in about phone menu. what shoould i do??? Plz help.

  • thanks. I also use this phone and I share your sentiments exactly.

  • Thanx for review - I have ordered for 2 weeks now and Im waiting for delivery! :) Hope it was good choice! (before i had samsung B7722 - excelent one! but not smartphone) Did you try to overclock CPU to higher performance?

  • HI Pals & Gals I bought this phone, now a week old. First of all I want to say you that it has all features except video call, Phone looks good, very much stylish than in pics. 1. Both sim slots are supported with WCDMA, If you put two 3G sims, only one will work for 3G and other will work with 2G. (User have a choice which sim to be in 3G, automatically other converts to 2G)., I say this is good to save to battery. 2.Both sims are running active unless you are on call. When your on call(outgoing/incoming) other network will be in standby and comes back to network once call completed. 3.You can swap the network between two sims with a easy button provided to sim1/sim2. 4.Battery holds good as I expected running for more than 2 days (for normal usage) and 1day( if you browse/play songs/Games around 4hrs or more). Full charging takes 2 hrs. 5. supports 2.3.4 android, with 7 screen desktop options, All android features and functional is supported and I took black colored mobile also provided two back panels one is black & other is Gray, you can change. 6. Wi-fi connectivity is really nice. As usual if you use wi-fi hotspot(router) for data sharing kills more battery. Just for test, I switch on wi-fi router and connected internet from my laptop for 3hrs is battery is down to 50%. Off-curse this is common for any mobile. Remember battery provided is 1500mh we should say its not bad. 6. Price: Rs.10,600(INR-Bangalore) Really worth buying it. This is first branded phone with 3G+android+dualsim+Wi-fi+3MegaPixel+GPS+1YearThe­ft warranty in India. No other choice with this performance. 7. Not but the lease, Angry birds is really runs good. 8.Samsung coming with two models soon with same features & dual sim 3G+ android,hopefully next month. But configuration is little low then LGP680, ######### LG Versus Samsung is below ############### LG Net dual P689: ------------------- 512 MB RAM 320 x 480 pixels, 3.2 inches (~180 ppi pixel density) Android OS, v2.3.4 (Gingerbread) CPU: 800 MHz ARMv6 Standard battery, Li-Ion 1500 mAh Sumsung Galxy Y Dous S6102 ----------------------------- 384 MB RAM 240 x 320 pixels, 3.14 inches (~127 ppi pixel density) Android OS, v2.3 (Gingerbread) CPU:832 MHz Standard battery, Li-Ion 1300 mAh Almost other hardware are common for both models. Looks LG have higher hardware. Mainly LG battery & pixel is better than samsung. I will keep updating pros & cons in long run. Stay tuned. Cheers Kisun

  • yes the battery backup is only one day

  • I've had this phone for a few weeks now and I think it is a piece of crap. It would be great if it worked properly, but it doesn't. Half the time the SIM 1 slot gets no signal, and when it is working the data connection is horrible. I know the problem isn't the SIM card, because when I throw that SIM into my girlfriend's Samsung Galaxy Y I always get full strength signal and fast 3G data connection. I should have waited for the Galaxy Y Duos to be released. This is my first and last LG. Even my antique Nokia works better than this.

  • hey friends plz help me.....i wanna buy this phone. 1.hows d battery backup?? 2.wheather it supports Adobe flash payer?? 3.dual is better or this one??

  • life span of my battery (lg-p698) is only one day,, is this normal?

  • can i change the ringtone and the msg tone in my mp3 list? how?

  • This phone doesnt support java ,is this info correct from gsmarena and if yes,would that create a huge difference, would that bar user from some applications in android applications??, would it Impact on internet browsing? Hws the bttry backup on net use? Please guide me friends

  • you are wrong! you can receive calls on any of the Sims if its data connection you are using. its even possible to receive calls on the very SIM you are using for data. I have this phone and I have tested it.

  • can i increase the RAM to 1GB

  • good phone clear resolution

  • Does this phone support HD game

  • LG's answer. Thank you for choosing LG! I understand you inquire about LG P698. Regarding, question: will it receive a call if the other sim is using data/internet? sim1 - will it receive a call? sim2 - being used for internet -Yes it'll be able to receive call even you are using it to internet.

  • Can anyone having bought this phone comment on if calls can be made or receivied, when one of the sim is being used for data - ie. if one the sim is downloading an email, then can someone call any of the two sims inside the phone?

  • i like it.. it's one of the best dual-sim phone in the market ;)

  • yes it is dual standby meaning when you are receiving call on one SIM, the other SIM is inactive. so calls on the second SIM cannot come in until you end call on the first SIM. but when using any of the SIM for data , you can receive call on the other SIM data is just paused for a moment till d call ends. also gsmarena is wrong, both Sims support 3g data, but only one of dem can be set to 3g per time

  • Thank you for reply and i think that this phone is a dual standby only but not dual active. Then how it is going to support when one SIM is in use then the other SIM is in active for receiving anything. Please reply for this also Waiting for your reply...... Good Day to all......... :-)

  • the phone comes with a an youtube app. Wich i think is better than watching youtube through flash on your phone.

  • Is it dual standby or dual active.....pls reply..if u r a user pls tell about its perfomance...

  • Does this phone support PDF viewer? If not, can it be installed manually? Appreciate your help. Thanks.

  • When I am surfing the net through SIM 1, via 2G/3G, can I make a call from SIM 2 or can a call come in for both the SIMs ? Also, while on the net from from SIM 1, can texts come in or go out from SIM 2 ? Lastly, once I release call from one SIM, how much time does it take for both to go back to standby mode again ?

  • Happened to read user manual of LG P698. It written the following points under "USB computer connectivity section" LG-P698 does not support: - LG Air Sync (Web Sync, RClick) - OSP (On Screen Phone) - To-do in Calendar - Memo - Java application After installing PC Suite IV, you can find the User Guide in the Help menu. Does this mean this phone does not support mobile programs running java? Doubt arose since this was written under USB connectivity section.

  • When I am surfing the net through SIM 1, via 2G/3G, can I make a call from SIM 2 or can a call come in for both the SIMs ? Also, while on the net from from SIM 1, can texts come in or go out from SIM 2 ? Lastly, once I release call from one SIM, how much time does it take for both to go back to standby mode again ?

  • Many thanks.I wish the phone come to Egypt to buy it.

  • worth 899 riyals here in Qatar, i find it as a good phone since its operating with "Android OS, v2.3.4 (Gingerbread)" plus the fact that its cheaper compared to some andriod phones. not to mention its dual sim capabilities.

  • An autofocus without a led flash? Please...

  • can we install java via third party application on this phone? reply me soon frndzzzz i'll be very thankful to you

  • I you answer sim 1 sim 2 would be out of service or not?

  • can i use skype,ym and viber for calling to this cellphone

  • I'm interested to buy this type of LG. Just need to make sure one thing though; does it show SIM 1 and SIM 2, rather than the name of each providers? Appreciate your prompt respond. Thanks.

  • Hai I am useing L G Optimus Net this is amazing phone comprared to other dual sim card phone. And battery is so good.........

  • it is availale in india

  • I've been using this phone for about 2 weeks now and I can say that this unit is very nice, bright/ clear LCD, fast Wifi connections, averaged price (P8,800++ in the Philippines) and easy to use. Everything looks perfect for an android dual sim, except for 3 things: First, it is only dual stand by, you need to shift from one sim to another to be able to use it for call or text; second, the battery has a short life, you will need to recharged it almost every other day (earlier if you use music and games); and lastly, the back cover can easily scratch, my unit has a lot of scratches already, no matter how careful you handle it.... other than these, everything looks good almost like high-end androids in the market. Hope for update and enhancement to make it dual active phone like LG p525.

  • I've been using this phone for 2 weeks now... its a very nice dual android unit... with only 3 downside and hope LG will improve them in the near future. First, you need to shift from sim 1 to sim 2 first before you can call or text using sim 2 (LG p525 is better), second is the battery life...very short, and thirdly, the back cover easily have scratches and with very cheap plastic feel. Overall, the phone is fast and very easy to use. It connects to WiFi fast and you can scroll from one point to another in no time....

  • lg optimus much better then any galaxy phones believe it or not but its true

  • Hi All, Really this mobile is best for our money and im waiting to buy it. As of now this one is the best mobile from the worldclass branded dual sim Android.

Because I am facing this problem in samsung duos Pls reply all the people who are useing it. R u getting compaints from people that your number if not reachable?

  • the best entry level android dual sim phone out there!

  • when you talk on SIM 1, the other SIM 2 is unusable. period.

  • Only in the sense that it's android. Otherwise LG GX500 does Dual SIM Active and some other tricks!!! But it's not android, of cource.

  • Not only it blocks the other card - it even displays that the card is inactive. I'm using the phone for 2nd day now. Tested this feature to see if it's dual sim active. - nop! LG P698 is Dual Sim Stanby in all its respects. But it's a nice phone! and a good price! :) Regarding the Dual SIM Standy thing I even thought that it's a hardware problem, but no - it's semms to just disconnect the other sim-card when u receive a comunication(?) or call on the other one... Weird thing I haven't yet found a way to rename the sim cards! it says SIM 1 and SIM 2 - weird! :) Switching sims is a bit confusing (but very easy to switch with a dedicated key) I would prefer it to ask me which sim to send an SMS with. Today I just sent from the wrong one... oh, well, need to get used to... as with everything new! :) I stronlgy recommed it becaose of 1) first android phone with 2 sims in Europe(?) and 2) nice price, bought it for ~260$ unlocked, locally.

  • awesome.....best dual sim smartphone out there

  • what's the frames per second for video (VGA)?

  • During calling sim1 what about sim 2 can coming call or not? Please detaile to our customers thanks.

  • Hi, Can anyone plz let me know if the phone has the privilege to use both the sims simultaneously, like while i am talking in sim1 does the incoming call to sim2 notify me call waiting. And is it available in hyderabad or visakhapatnam anyone who purchased plz plz help me with were u prchased it from -me desperately waiting for it

  • I want to know that if net dual also has problem which I am facing on Samsung dual sim? The problem is that even after disconnecting call on one sim, my other sim does not respond to anybody calling till I reboot my phone. Pls reply people who are useing this dual sim phone because I want to buy it. This is urgent

  • support hsdpa3.6 only see lg home site

  • And yet they rate Net Dual's battery life @5h and Ace's@11h.. what gives?

  • Does it allow to receive a call (on any of sim-s) while using data network?

  • Wonderfull phone but how to add arabic language to this phone

  • Yes both Sims are active according to reviews of people already using it, plan to get one myself.

  • is it available in india or do u have idea when it will be releasing in india

  • Very nice phone.. good screen resolution and pretty fast and cheaper than any of the same level of androids. Long battery life also..

  • I'm a Samsung Galaxy Ace user, bought this phone for my wife but using it for 3 days to test it. So far not bad, battery life way better than my Ace. I'm a heavy rmvb video watcher, my Ace battery drained from 100% to 60% after watching a 45-min rmvb, but this phone drops to only 85%. The specs says it weighs 102g but I think it's heavier than my Ace, it should be more than 120g. 3G is for SIM1 only, so I insert my data sim to SIM1 and talking sim to SIM2. You can set which SIM slot to be the default data sim.

  • i just bought this phone yesterday and i must say that this is the best dual sim compared to other midrange phone, my first time to have LG phone and im not disappointed with the performance of this phone, internet speed is good, i had samsung galaxy s2 but it was stolen, this phone makes me feel like im using gs2 except for the cam.. but performance wise it does very well and with its dual sim, i dont need to remove my sim to put in another mobile, good for people who travel abroad, both sim is active for text and call, the best dual phone on my opinion.

  • hey guys i want to ask is lg optimus net dual sim is fast phone or not fast means if i press any app. it would oppened in micro seconds cuz i want to buy as soon as possible my brother have micromax a75 dual sim but it is very slow phone ,when i open contact it takes time 2 to 3 seconds it feels rubbish, i want a very fast phone plz reply urgent.

  • This is probably a dumb question, but does the dual standby apply only to voice, or SMS as well? I do not mind having one SIM on standby for voice, but would hope text comes through simultaneously. I will be using overseas with one like for all my regular contacts, and one for the new gwapitas ;-)

  • Specs here says "no Java". What would be missing in this phone without Java??

  • guys i need help.. What's the best music player equalizer android application for this unit? Thanks..

  • is this phone dual active or dual stand-by?

  • The fourth from the left physical button changes the SIM used to make calls and send messages. The selected SIM is indicated by a border around its signal bars.

  • Dears, I get that it is dual standby not dual active, but i want to ask about if every time you are making an out going call does it ask you to choose from which sim you want this call liek motorola ex115, or it automatically go out the primary sim which you already choose at the phone installation like samsung 5722.

Exchange mail box works well ? 6. how many email accounts can be configured ? Thanks Guns

  • Samsung should've put secondary camera for video calling. If they did, it will be the hottest mobile in the Philippines.

  • when is this interesting phone coming to the Philippines? I would love to own one. IMHO, this will sell more if the following are included: bigger screen, Java pre-installed, swype text input, voice memo/dial commands, doc. and photo editors, considering the battery capacity of 1500mAh.

  • When is this interesting phone coming to the Philippines? Would love to own one.

  • I believe we know exactly what we're talking about here. What you've described is a dual standby phone...meaning both sims are active at the same time and you don't have to restart the handset to use one sim or the other. The major draw back is that when on a call on sim 1, sim 2 is disabled. A dual standby - dual active phone (or dual processor) doesn't have this problem...both sims are active and even if you're speaking on one sim, the other one is reachable. You can swap calls between sims or hold calls. Dual standby phones...ex: Samsung Ch@t322, Moto EX115, 317, and (many) others. Dual standby dual active phones...ex: Samsung C5212, B5522, B7722, and (a phew) others. Cheers

  • We KNOW that. We were just saying we would have liked to be able to handle calls on both sims at the same time - for me that is dual active. For some dual standby is just not good enough. It's a pity such few phones are dual active - my current C5212i is one of them, but i'd really like an upgrade.

  • People Dual "standby" doesn't mean that one of the numbers is inactive. It only means both numbers can't be "in use" at the same time. I've had samsumg "dual sim phones" for some years now. As long as you're not already on a call, you can receive calls or text from either number

  • Does it have a GPU-Adreno as P690 ??

  • You're kind of right... I like the fact that it has a 800 Mhz proc. That's a pro. I've had other LG's and with minor bugs they served me well. There's the Moto EX 317 that's an android based dual sim and qwerty phone. Of course nowhere to be found. Right now I have a Samsung 5212. My provider gave me a Galaxy for this year but what to do with it? I need dual sim, so I guess we wait.

  • That's true, but you can always forward calls between SIMs as a workaround. It's not as elegant as a true dual active phone, but it works... This Optimus Net Dual is the only decent Android dual sim available, so I would be willing to live without dual active, if only I could find some place to buy it.. somewhere, anywhere!

  • I don't get why they don't make these phones dual active? C'mon...how much could it be? Yes some people use dual sims for voice (sim1) and data (sim2) but then again other people use them for voice on both sims. So what's the point on someone calling you and not getting to you? I've tried to contact Samsung but they keep on giving me answers like "Android OS does not support dualism"...apparently it does!...so please LG make it dual standby and dual active

  • it's a dual stand-by?

  • LG please release this phone to SoutEast Asia now. I love this phone and hungry to hold it on my hand.

  • this phone does not have java !!!! then can not we install java? or we can install java via Java MIDP emulator?

  • I really love LG they launched all new, and first ever phones. like first dual core, first 3D phone and now first android dual sim phone. LG rocks

  • really good mobile .

  • That is a window

  • Hi, no way it is 512mb ram. i own one in Rio de Janeiro/Brazil and it´s only 150 mb ram available of a total of 418mb.

  • Your specs about 3G network are wrong. i use an 3g sim in slot 2 JUST FOR DATA and it´s ok. i think both sims are 3g capable, because theres an option in the config that allows you to select wich sim will use data connection.

  • I own this phone for a week now. It has a 1500mhA battery (ok for a day of heavy data usage). Touch screen pretty much like the one of an Ipod Touch (wich i also own). The screen itself has 3 levels of lightining (whe upped to the max you can see clearly on a pretty much sunny day - i´m from Rio de Janeiro). Dual sim stand by capable. I use one sim slot 1 for comm and slot 2 for data (you can configure wich sim will be used for data, so there´s no mistake in it - GREAT FEATURE !) Camera is just ok (lousy if compared with my late N95). A-GPS is great ! Voice inquires on google are pretty much AWESOME (even for portuguese inquires !) About processor capacity: sometimes Angry Birds stutters/slugs, but all in all it´s pretty much playable. This droid has it´s own task killer that is damn good, also the "social networks". I pretty much liked the phone. I recommend.

  • Motorola also has dual sim editions of XT531, XT800 and XT882 available.

  • First branded android dual sim phone,with dual standby. How lg managed weight and dimensions,gud effort.

  • Great phone! just got one! the touch is precise and fast, no regrats on buying this phone! by the way it has 512mb of ram and is dual stand-bym which means both sim are active all time ( unless you are making a call or using the internet).. If you want a smartphone and needs dual sim, this is the phone for you!

  • i like

  • A really good phone but, unfortunately, it wasn't availible in Hong Kong...(because I live in Hong Kong)

  • the phone is very good especially the dual sim feature.it is the first dual sim with a touch screen. i will be glad if the picture quality is increased to 5 MP. Also it lacks java and no secondary camera .Overall the phone is a master piece.
