I think Engadget has some of the highly biased reviews. So I would suggest find some other reviews on CNET or IntoMobile or Gizmodo etc and make a better choice

engadget-good audio quality&good camera. gsmarena-poor audio quality&average camera.who’s right?

A screen so bright, it beats the sun. With a 1 GHz processor, 5 megapixel camera, 2 megapixel front camera and 10.1-cm screen size, the Optimus Black from LG Electronics with NOVA display gives you twice as much as brightness than other smartphones.

LG Optimous 1 phone is value for money except it doesn’t have front camera and back camera is not good.

@Sumit Roy
Really?
N8 has a QVGA (640×480) front camera. So before claming to OP you should just check out phone specifications at official site rather than looking at third party sites.
By the way N8 is still the Imaging King in the jungle of smartphones.
