Great phone, you get used to the size, although get some funny looks from people when using it as a phone, definately get a screen protector as I just today noticed a scratch on my screen even though I am quite careful
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I've noticed some tiny scratches too. I'm not going to bother with a screen protector though; they may preserve the screen, but while they are on the screen looks worse!
The scratches I've seen are very minor, and only really noticeable when the screen is off.
Yeh ditto only noticable when you look really hard, anyone else disappointed with the,flash? Cameras great but indoor at night time is useless

I suppose the flash could be better but at least it has one most htc devices don't and i have screen saver on and to tell the truth you cannot see it,blends in very well
I have had mine since launch and i didn't get a screen cover either. Lucky enough not had any scratches yet, but i have noticed that on the bottom left corner of the screen the plastic besel is sticking up a bit. That looks like some suspect build quality, although you can't really see it at all unless you have it right in front of you face. The fact you notice it you still feel a bit sadden by it.
Generally the screen is awesome i love watching movies on it and surfing is total joy.
just today i notced the same thing, it seems to be a dodgy build which can only get worse over time - anyone else got this problem. im considering taking it back to get is exchanged.

Ha EXACTLY! During the duration that I have the phone (which prob wont even be a full year) I do not want to look at some hideous screen protector getting in my way.
I can't believe how fantastic it looks compared to LCD. I'm a huge fan of saturated colors (I crank up digital vibrance on my computer), and now my EVO's LCD just looks washed out. Anyone else who switched from LCD to this?

I'm coming from an N1 and I can't keep my fingers off it.
/awkward
I wouldn't say 'switched' so much, as my Droid is still my main phone, but yes; the screen is so much more beautiful and vibrant than my Droid's LCD. When my Verizon contract is up, SAMOLED will definitely be a requirement for my new phone.

^ When there's black on the screen, it's hard to tell where the screen stops and the casing begins! And when the phone is turned off, it just looks like one sexy slab of obsidian.
I ended up taking back my MT4G because I couldn't stand the washed out colors on the screen. The G2's SLCD was fantastic, but the SAMOLED on this absolutely blow it out of the water.

IT'S TOOOO DAMN BRIGHT!
Screen is great, but it's too bright! Was at TRON Legacy midnight showing last night, after the movie, the lights were still down, I turn on my phone and blinded myself! Even manually set to 0% it's way too bright. Makes it hard to use the phone at night when you're laying in bed reading the news.
Heh, you should rip an Avatar DVD and watch it on the SAMOLED. T-Mobile knew what it was doing when it packaged the movie with the Vibrant, because it's an absolutely jaw-dropping combo. My iPhone 4-owning friends are just blown away when I show them movies on my Vibrant.
I lick my super amoled when I am in the bathroom and no one can see me.
Coming from MT4G ( and the inferior screen too ) It's really a big difference.

I noticed a strange pattern of squares all over the screen..they are rather Invisible until you look at it under some light already certain angle. I tried my best to take a picture but it's hard to see if you're not looking from human eyes. Either way I don't know if this is part of the design or is it some type of weird defect. I attach some pictures check it out. Look near the light glare and you will see the little square patterns they are all over the screen I tried to capture it as well as I could.

anyone else noticing that LCD liquid effect from simple touches of the screen? started noticing it when i had the TPU case, and if i kinda bumped the edges, i'd see that liquid effect (like when you push on an LCD monitor or TV or something)
then i started realizing that even w/o the case, it does it all over the screen. you don't even have to be pressing hard and you start to see that liquid effect already.
obviously AMOLED doesn't tend to have these issues (i guess bc of how their screen is made, the glass seems MUCH harder, like on the GS3/4) because comparing an AMOLED panel with glass to an LCD, you can even feel a difference...from my expeirence with LCD (rezound, DNA, G2) the glass flexes much more which can cause that liquid movement...whereas with amoled (nexus, Gs3, GS4) the glass doesn't flex at all so it doesn't produce that effect.
i'm only worried bc recently i've been noticing that without much pressure, it's still starting to do it. is it that the LCD is way too close to the digitzer that this is happening, or what?
i've noticed it on my co-workers G2 as well, and i've seen some posts about it here, but i'm curious as to the consensus.

noticed this when i first got the lg g2 i had a case on it aswell and i thought it was a defect.
i brought it back to the store and from there i got a new 1. but it does the same thing.
i notice it has to do with tight cases pressing against the bezzles . usual when i notice it more,

exactly. yeah, glad to know it wasn't just mine. the TPU from verizon was pretty damn tight, so it hugged those bezels and i guess that's what made it flex more.

yeah, old nexus 7 did too, and i'm starting to notice my new nexus 7 does.
i think these things degrade over time, personally. the liquid effect didn't seem nearly as bad the first few weeks of having the G2, and now it's worse..
just like the first month of having the new Nexus 7 it was fine, and now it's starting to get the same effect.

The Note 3 has the same processor as the G2 but 50% more memory (3gb vs 2gb) - but it was just far too big for me.

I have the diztronic case on and the LCD panel doesn't have the liquid effect. As for amoled, I've never had a good experience with it. On the S2 and S3 I had those black spots that can be common on amoled panels. I then got some slight screen burn in the S3. I didn't have these two issues on the S4 but it did have the scrolling blur problem with dark backgrounds.
Don't have this issue yet with the D803(Canada). Maybe its only a VZW issue....?

Lol, I have adjusted quite well and don't think that it's a massive difference compared to the G2. Sure it's bigger, but not night and day.
And I actually missed amoled. I don't do graphic design on my phone so I actually appreciate the crazy pop of the colors and the deep blacks. And this screen doesn't have those annoying dots all over it which was driving me crazy on the G2 in certain lighting conditions.
But the G2 is a great phone man, I totally understand you keeping it. I haven't looked back like you thought I would though lol. I absolutely love this device lol.

I've had quite a good few Android phones so far. I was somehow skeptical about 1+ 3T but, nonetheless, I decided to get one (guess was one of last lucky ones able to get the 128GB variant before going out of stock! ).
After having spent 2 days with it I'm absolutely amazed by this beauty! So, I want to share my thoughts.
First time ever I don't feel the compelling need to root it as soon as I get a device (thanks also to Nougat improvements).
With a normal use (mail, twitter, wifi on, some calls) I can easily get a 3% per hour battery consumption. Got around 8%/h while using it as hotspot.
Design is just great, can't really find anything wrong with that, and I love the choice to have the back/recents buttons.
Also fingerprint reader works just fine.
Love the very small bezel around the screen.
Display is perfect, not too much to be said here. I had a Samsung Note 4 until now, with bigger screen and higher resolution so, was a little concerned going backward.
I was wrong. Screen readability is perfect, clear and sharp.
Dual SIM: I only need to use a different SIM very rarely, couple times a year while on holiday, so having to swap my SIM ain't a big issue in the end. I would've preferred to get the chance to add extra memory instead (and that's the reason I went for the 128GB model) or one of those fancy readers where you can use MicroSD OR a 2nd SIM. But, still, that's fine.
Very disappointed with the original curved glass screen protector: waste of money. Ordered the Orzly (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01LWOYYYZ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) off Amazon, I'll update the post once I receive it.
I agree with with the "complaints" about camera quality. That's okish for a phone, but that's actually the only thing I'm missing from the G4.
Not a big deal, for me, anyway. I can still take decent enough pics while on the move!
In short: I'd be more than happy to suggest this device instead of any of the more well-know-brands!
EDIT: WiFi seems to just a wee bit less powerful compared to Note 4. Noting major. Difference is minimal, nothing that would make me change mi overall very positive rating for this device.
Completely agree with everything you said. I'm also very satisfied with it, and I came from a Nexus 5.
There are a couple of things here and there in the software that annoy me, like once the aggressive doze feature is enabled it optimizes every app, instead of letting me select wich apps I want to optimize, but that's just me being picky.
I bought the original curved glass screen protector too, and only after saw that it covered the screen. Even if it's just 0.9mm I won't take it, I gotta see every inch of this beautiful screen. Let us know how the Orzly one works for you.
Also, the sandstone case is awesome. For look and feel, not for protection xD
Agreed. I'm a Samsung guy and skipped the S7 for the 3T and never looked back. That screen protector is fine but this is totally true:
PLEASE NOTE: The Pro-Fit Glass Screen Protector is layered with a visible dot matrix grid over the display area which is essential to achieving full cover screen protector (please see images for more info)

Go to settings, battery, and top right options, I think you can choose which to optimize and which not too

Yes. I know. What I mean is that by default it optimizes every app. In my opinion it would be better if by default it didn't optimize any apps, and then let me select the ones I want optimized.
It's not very practical to have to disable the feature every time you install an app you don't want optimized.

Ok, just received mine and installed. That's way better than what I expected reading reviews.
Matrix is barely visible. The rainbow effect is only visible with screen off/full black. So, no big deal.
TBH I don't think Orzly are tempered glass by the way.
Installing it was easy enough thanks for the glue being only around the black border. Not sure if that's going to be a good thing over time.
Not the best screen protectors I've ever tried but, in the end, price seems reasonable so far given the overall quality.

With it only having adhesive around the outer perimeter, do you have any trouble with the glass sliding around or letting in dust? I guess you won't know about the latter until you've used it for longer...any words of wisdom welcomed.

Had the protector on since just a few hrs. I'll now about the dust over the next few days I guess.
So far, I'm more concerned about the fingerprints to be honest... not sure if that's a tactic in order to prevent people seeing the matrix
