The LG Optimus GJ is a rare midrange smartphone offering that also features IP-certified water resistance. It’s based on LG’s famous Optimus G flagship with a new watertight chassis and a beefier battery.
The Optimus GJ lacks some of the connectivity antennas found on the G, like NFC and LTE, and with the larger battery should have the edge over its flagship predecessor.
In a rather odd twist, it’s the waterproof member of the duo that has the removable back panel, in contrast to the unibody construction of the Optimus G. This is uncommon as it’s easier to make a watertight smartphone with a nonremovable back panel, but LG’s design team saw fit to do it otherwise.
Diving right into the tests, we first examined how the Optimus GJ fared in our dedicated talk time test. As we mentioned, the Optimus GJ doesn’t have LTE support, and instead relies on its 2G and 3G antennas for voice calls. Here, it lasts about 3 hours less than the LG Optims G (all tests are carried over a 3G network).

When it comes to web browsing, the results posted by the Optimus GJ were very respectable. Coming it at just over 7 minutes, the Optimus GJ beats out the Optimus G, although this is likely due to optimizations in the Chrome browser done in between both tests.

Video player performance also gives some respectable figures, with the Optimus GJ providing over 8 hours of continuous playback before reaching 10% of its battery capacity. This puts it right around the middle of the pack.

While it was not able to provide the same stellar talk time performance as the Optimus G, the Optimus GJ provides some good figures when it comes to web browsing and video performance. Unfortunately, coupling this with the only average standby time, the Optimus GJ achieves an overall endurance rating of just 39h. This means that you will need to charge the phone every 39 hours if you do an hour each of the three activities tested per day.
