We just got word today that the official launching of the LG Optimus G is set this March. The Optimus G is the fraternal twin of the Nexus 4 but with a few improvements, like a microSD expansion and LTE connectivity.
And speaking of LTE, I am also told that Smart will support the Optimus G in their LTE network.

LG’s QSlide function (read about it here) is one of the most intuitive multi-tasking feature we’ve seen on a smartphone and LG stressed this was made as smooth as possible because of the Snapdragon S4 Pro.
In any case, we’re hoping to aget a hold of a unit soon. We still don’t have any idea on the suggested retail price but we’re hoping it will be under Php25k since the Nexus 4 retailed for only Php24,990.
