Yes.
If Budget Allows,
I will vote for Better Sony Models, like Xperia ZR / Z
Check the Z Series in hand with specs,
then decide, what is best for you.

@OP, if you don't care for warranty, just buy Optimus G from here: Global EasyBuy
Best Offer !
LOL !
Optimus G is also a good phone at this price.
Grab it,
if You can / want it without warranty.
Check Seller's credibility (positive reviews) while shopping at any site.
Compare it in Croma type big store. check in your hand both Sony & LG.
Check performance and Quality.
Sony goes ahead but if you get good deal for less price in LG, it can be a good purchase.
Think before any buy,
take your time.
