It started off the multiple core smartphone era with the Optimus 2X in 2011 but the period since has seen LG playing catch-up in the smartphone wars, trying to keep up with the likes of Samsung, Nokia and HTC when it comes to high-profile devices. And the company certainly has not helped its case here by delaying the releases of some of its best-known products in the Indian market — the Optimus Vu came late to Indian shores and we are still waiting for the much-acclaimed Nexus 4. Even the arrival of the Optimus G has been accompanied by complaints that it has taken its time coming to India, especially given the fact that LG showcased its successor, the larger screened Optimus G Pro at the recent Mobile World Congress.
