hey everybody it's Michael Fisher with pocketnow.com it's always nice to start out a new week with a new device at my doorstep and this week that device is the lg optimus G for AT&T the first device to rock the Qualcomm s4 pro processor featuring both quad-core and LTE we can have a lot of coverage on this device in the days ahead but for now we're just gonna pop open the box show you what's inside give the device a first power on and have some fun that way stick around after the break I'm Michael it's pocket now let's get to it so let's see what we're working with with the packaging here as you can see AT&T has chosen not to emblazon the box with their name just the Death Star logo as we've been seeing on some of their more recent devices device name along the bottom here not a whole lot going on on this packaging there and even on the back there's not the usual specs rundown it's just another picture of the device so that's interesting let's go ahead and the box when we do that you can see the AT&T is not really done a whole lot to make this unboxing experience anything special it's just the usual packaging here's the device front senator texting and driving it can wait good advice please do follow it popping it open here let's see we've got a QuickStart guide and a usual thing here this is a Wow a full product safety and warranty information thought this was a user manual but no just safety and warranty stuff going on in there that is interesting and Wow really no frills here just looking at a wall charger travel adapter and a USB cable so not much impressing from a much impressive from a packaging perspective have a look at the device real quick would just pop out of the pouch here Wow screen protector has the call-outs for the back home and menu buttons that's that's very nice let's see if we can take off the screen protector here there that goes solid black on the face here this is a 4.7 inch touchscreen which uses insell touch technology to make the the hardware a little thinner it is a true HD IPS LCD it has an RGB matrix resolution of 768 by 1280 power standby button up there on the right with an easy reach of a thumb on the left volume up and down as you can see they're taking a look around the back here as we take off this protector this is that that glass back with the very interesting patterning happening underneath it only reads sort of well on on video you can see the very very high gloss there there's the 8 megapixel camera with LED flash the inset AT&T branding it actually looks quite classy it is not just silk screened or painted on its it's a like a metal insert underneath the glass there that's very very interesting bottle number down here speakerphone over here micro USB port down below with a couple screws there holding the whole thing together presumably what I assume is a noise cancelling mic up top 3.5 millimeter headphone jack up top there as well as far as feel in the hand goes you can see this device is already picking up a little bit of a little bit of fingerprints but that's to be expected with such a shiny device feeling hand is good not quite sure of the exact weight on this on this device but it feels quite good in the hand neither too heavy nor too light and that glass even though it is picking up a lot of fingerprints actually does feel feel quite premium in the hand which is a little bit of a surprise so to complete the unboxing we'll just go ahead and press and hold and hopefully get a first boot in there's the LG logo there a little close-up if well maybe we won't do a close-up waiting for the carrier splash screen to come on this device of course also rocking the the first instance of the Qualcomm Snapdragon s4 pro in the United States that's running at 1500 megahertz and there's the splash screen backed up by two gigs of RAM and 16 gigs of built-in storage interesting unlock screen very similar to the TouchWiz nature UX experience at first glance obviously that's just a first impression and there's some home screen action for you right there the lg optimus G for AT&T as I mentioned before we're gonna have a lot more coverage featuring this device in the coming days including a full review just as soon as we can get it to you in the meantime follow us on Twitter pocket now tweets is the name of the account you can follow me on twitter i'm at captain two phones definitely visit us at pocketnow.com for the editorial posts more video coverage on the optimus g and everything else that's pocketnow.com leave a comment there if you have something to say if you want to give us a thumbs up here on YouTube that's awesome - we appreciate it and we appreciate you watching stick around for more and we'll see you next time you
