It's time for me to get a new phone and the G2 has drawn my attention. After reading a lot of reviews, there is almost universal praise for its performance and design that I am severely tempted.
I have 2 questions:
1) Any differences between the AT&T and VZW G2? I know the Verizon one has a thicker profile, smaller steel buttons and a wireless charging coil but i'm not sure what else as I haven't used either. Anyone tried both?
2) Is this worth getting or should I save ~$130 and stick with the Optimus G instead. AT&T currently has the OG and the G Pro both at $440, while the G2 is at $575.
3) How do the volume buttons feel? I always had a feeling that if the G2 isn't for me because I tend to press quite hard and since it's on the back, I'm worried about breaking the phone or at least parts of it. Anyone?
Thanks.
1) Yes, one is AT&T, the other is VZW. Otherwise, the things you listed are also correct.
2) Amazing phone, no question. As of right now, this IS the phone to get.
3) The first thing I thought when I saw the G2 would have it's buttons in a different spot was "wtf, thats stupid" But it has turned out to be something that I actually like about the phone, and am almost to the point where I don't know if I honestly want another phone with them on the sides.
Gets crazy hot, screen changes brightness randomly (not auto), onscreen buttons suck, text looks like its floating compared to amoled, greasy back.
Formfactor is perfect, text clarity is amazing, extremely fast, great camera, strong wifi and lte performance, great touch sensor.
Tough call.

really amazing device but i am so doubt that lg will give android or software updates to lg g2..
Way better than the G2 PRO. Battery is insane, way better screen and camera. Back does get greasy because I don't do cases. Feels better in hand. Love the on screen buttons.

Best phone I've ever used. I've bought EVERY flagship the last 3 year's. First phone I ever bought was LG g2x, and that phone was garbage so I was a little biased against LG. Now with this phone I actually paid for insurance because I'm gonna keep it for a long time.

Because 4.2.2 lg custom made is new, only G2 have it. need time to port to the other.
Even G2 still not avail in my country.
The scenario will be same like OG, after OG get 4.1.2 update, in coupled month other phone will get update too. (L5 L7 L9 4X )

Because they will add stuff from G2 into 4.2.2, there is a leaked G Pro rom which has stuff from G2, once they fixed most stuff on 4.2.2 on G2 they will most likely update G and G Pro.

The Note 2 is also only 4.1.2.
For me, this phone is nearly perfect. It's everything the GS4 wasn't. My GS4 used to piss me off because it lagged like crazy all the time. I bought the Optimus G Pro and my ONE complaint about that device was the camera. This phone has a better camera than the GS4 and OIS to boot. LG is a little slow with software updates, but their UI runs fast and smooth and very seldom has issues or is missing features I want. This is my new daily driver.
lg og, as much as I love it, was a little bit of a mixed bag. I've dropped mine on concrete multiple times with not a scratch, someone else on the forums took the phone out of his pocket to find the back glass cracked. depending on which binned CPU you got the overheating could be mild to bad to unusable. the camera wasn't great. had and still has incredible devs working on it. still my favorite phone so far. but lg2 looks beautiful, I'm heading to my att store to grab one on Monday. like someone previously said..seems like this is THE phone to get. I was looking at the Sony z1 but the huge bezels and mixed reviews about the display camera and battery turned me off to it. also concerning lgs stock ui..I find it generally ugly, but it is speedy and feature packed for the most part. I left my lgog on stock for almost two months by choice. that's saying something for it.
I couldn't post a link but if you Google ATT G2 vs Verizon G2 there are quite a few reviews out there.
Droid life has a video comparing them its about 8 minutes and decently detailed

That's the one thing, but I'm pretty confident in LG's updates. After playing with my friend's LGOG for about a month, I've been really impressed with LG. He's a rich kid and swapped it out for an S4 (which I definitely wouldn't have done, because I LOVE the optimus G) but he wants it back so he can sell it (like, come on man, you don't even need it anymore). He just had stock 4.1.2 on it which was nice and fast (S4's day-to-day GPU UI performance can't hold a candle), and that's the thing: it may be saddled with features like TW, but is in a completely different league in terms of performance.
Given that CM10.1, AOKP, ThinkingBridge and PA all made it to the LGOG, it shouldn't be a problem on the G2. Thanks for the responses guys, I'm getting the G2 (my dad might decide on the Note 3 so we can swap back and forth ).
Anyone switched from Galaxy s4 to Lg G2? What is the experience? How it feels? Pros and cons.

I didn't come right from the s4 I had some other phones in between but.. almost identical in size... similar features plus some... no lag even with the bloat.. ips LCD is soon much nicer than amoled imo... for me a huge thing is being able to turn fast dormancy off which never actually stuck on my s4
Haven't found any cons yet
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk 4
I'm coming straight from it, I just sold my S4 last night. This phone is better in every way imo. It is about the same size but a little bit thicker so it feels better in the hand to me. The ips lcd screen is much better to me. It's much brighter and much brighter whites and more accurate colors. When I looked side by side, I realized how bad the screen on the S4 really looks.
I also feel that the software is very similar but it doesn't lag like touchwiz does. It is also has great features that are actually useful. I found myself never using most of the features on my S4.
I love the software customization options too. It makes me feel like I don't even need a custom rom. The camera is nice as well. I have gotten some nice shots so far.
All in all, this phone has been a great experience and I highly recommend it over the S4.

I will go from the s3 to either the G2 or Nexus 5. The G2 looks very promising. Hopefully sprint gets both phones around the same time so I can compare them side by side.

I traded my week old S4 yesterday for the G2. Extremely impressed. Ran the battery down last night so I'm doing the first full recharge now, but this thing is fast and slick. Screen can't be beat. I'll be in the mountains later taking pictures to test out the camera but my first few last night came out great.
No regrets here. We're going to get along great.

I am going to switch from S4 to G2 if the AT&T models boot loader can be unlocked or of any other model that will work on LTE with AT&T that the boot loader can be unlocked. I want AOSP on the G2. The LG software is horrible.
Thank you for the resposneses can't wait to get mine its on the ups track

I just got the att version about 2 days ago, switching from an st and I have to say I'm pleased.
PRO's:
Great battery life
UI seems to fly compared to S4 even though they both used about the same amount of ram stock and not rooted
Screen is great. Loving the customization with on screen buttons
It doesn't seem to get anywhere as hot as my s4
There are more pros but my final one I'll mention is the buttons on the back. No accidental bumps hitting the power button holding the phone in landscape
CONS:
Phone is slippery
Concern for update support from lg

Got the G2 on launch day, came from the GT-I9500. So far I can't think of a single con or regret. My only worry is AOSP dev support. (which is one of the reasons I left the octa GS4)
The G2 seems better in every single aspect thus far for me. (the screens are a matter of opinion of course)
Right now I have the S4 an G2. I'm a pretty big Samsung homer and have had the nexus, S3, Note and Note . I work for Verizon, so it's easy for me to get anything I want cheaply. My last lg was the G2x on T-Mobile. I swore I would never use one again after that nightmare! With all that said I love this phone. Battery life is sick, screen is amazing, no lag...just smooth as butter. I find myself using the knock feature all the time. The two things that are holding me back from keeping it are probably the same for just about everyone else. No SD card or removable battery. I put a ton of stuff on my phone from torrents and stream it to my TV. I think the answer might be, sell the S4 keep the G2 and grab a note 3 at launch. not sure my wife will agree with this solution however

Just picked up my VZW G2. I have a loki'd S4 and I'm happy with it. I run PACman on it and really have no issues but I'm a phone junky. I pay full price to maintain my unlimited data so I get a lot of sh*t from people when they see I have a new one but whatever. So far, I love it. Really disappointed the double tap to turn screen off doesn't work on nova launcher but not surprised. Still works turning it on but not of.
I do like the G2. It really feels a lot like my S4 so I'm already used to the feel. A little hard to get used to buttons but that doesn't bother me a bit. The screen Is amazing and I don't have to worry about screen burn in like I had on my S4. I've hidden my soft keys and an using pie... I want my whole screen. I'm keeping my S4 no matter what. As far as the G2, I really hope the Dev community gets into this device. The only thing I missed from TW, was the camera. So went AOSP pretty fast and never really looked back. However, on this device, I'd love to see some way to have the double tap to turn off work on different launchers. Again, I hope the Devs work on this bad boy.
Ultimately, I'll have to play with this a bit longer and see what happens with development, then, I'll decide if this goes on eBay. If the Nexus 5 comes to VZW (yes I know but some rumors say it might but I'm not holding breath) and I get the moto X through work, I'll keep it any way.

Double tap to turn off screen in third party launchers
I had the s4 for a couple days & switched to the G2..
The G2 feels a lot smoother when running vs TW on the S4. The S4 did have a bunch of other sensors (like the front IR for air gestures) - but I honestly don't see myself using them.
My biggest concerns were non-removable battery, no micro sd and how good the radio was. When I checked it out at the store, the G2 had marginally better signal strength. Microsd is solved with a cheap usb/microsd otg cable, and after thinking about it, the battery isn't that much of an issue for me. Plus the G2 has wireless charging - picked up 2 nokia dt-900's for $25 shipped
The G2 is solid!
I run nova prime and my double tap the status bar to turn the screen off works.

So, some people have been able to get amazing battery life out of the G2, but others have had fairly major heat buildup and short battery life issues. I have also seen some posts about lag issues.
I'm deciding between this phone and the HTC One, which I have heard also has battery issues. I currently have an HTC One X+, and the battery, lag, and heat buildup are unbelievably bad, so I'm cautious about getting another HTC device.
What I want to know is, are most people having good experiences with the battery/heat buildup of the G2? Have you experienced consistent lag? Thanks for your responses.
I have experienced excellent battery life 1+ day usage. I've never had the phone heat up at all... Slight warmth, possibly just from my hand...
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I haven't experienced any of the issues you mention. The plastic case squeaks a little, but this is to be expected...the s3 and s4 both do/did it. It's literally the only drawback I've noticed. I just ordered a case, so hopefully that'll muffle the sound and it'll be perfect. ☺

I've had the HTC One and the battery life stinks. That's the only reason I got rid of it. I'm thinking of getting this phone tomorrow. Either this g2 or Moto X. I've been browsing both forums.

I just sold my HTC One to get my G2. The One's battery life sucks! The only things the One has over the G2 are: 1. higher PPI screen (worthless since both have pixels so tiny you wont even notice the difference. 2. Front facing stereo speakers. My G2 makes it through the day easily with over 50% remaining by the time I go to sleep. It gets a little warm, but only when playing games...and no warmer than my One got when playing games.
hmm i was also thinking about getting the lg g2. I current have the att htc one x, which is nice and all but i think its time for an upgrade. Im going through the insurance though and theyre sending me out a galaxy s4. Has anyone used both devices, the s4 and the g2? Obviously the g2 is a step up but how does it translate to real world usage? Would love to hear you opinions on both. If worth it ill just sell my galaxy s4 and buy the g2.

Mine was more of a stutter then lag as smooth as TW Roms could make it and got annoying after a while
Playing around with the phone for the past few hours, I am quite impressed on how smooth it is for me.. its like a better TW (might be insulting to the G2 )
I'm in the same boat and considering the g2 or the g pro. Im liking the phablet because I watch a lot of video on my current phone so the real estate is nice. At $99 with a new contract its a steal and I'm due for an upgrade. But I'm also digging the hardware of the g2. Bern lurking between the 2 forums trying to make a decision, but I'm heavily leaning towards the g2.
Lg G2 > gs4 > htc one
I've used them all, and by far the Lg wins. Especially if youre worried about lag and battery life. Screen is also better than the other ones. Cant wait for devs to start posting cleaner roms

Like many others, I have the One as well. I also own the S4, and I can say without a shadow of a doubt "the G2 is hands down my favorite".
I do however think that my S4 gets as good of battery life as my G2 though. I just don't like the lag my S4 gets when I load it up with apps.
This is probably not important to you, but the S4 and the G2 sync with my Fitbit flex via LE Bluetooth and the One does not. ?

I'm hoping that the LG Nexus 5 (stock android, either 4.3 or 4.4) will be coming to the G2 shortly after the N5 is released, and when/if its ported to Verizon, it will make the G2 one heck of a device.
cant complain bout battery life or heat
just basic browsin and crap i can go 24hrs and still have juice left over with 50% brightness

G2 to G3 is a evolution, not revolution, but both phones are awesome, i mean, G3 WILL be awesome
because G3 is on Snap801 (at least Korean version) then G2 should get the custom ROM with new UI very fast, I also hope that G2 will get new UI officially.
What's snap801. A type of processor?

From experience, get a good case (I use Spigen Slim Armor). The G2 is an awesome phone, the best bang for the buck, but due to such small bezels its main trade off is fragility. Even a small drop hitting in a corner will shatter the screen, as the plastic edge deflects into the screen before it rebounds on impact. Looking at the G3 I think its the same. Having said that, definately get a G3, LG always gives more/better features/hardware for lower cost than the other major companies.
If you have patience wait for G3, if not or your phone is almost dead buy a G2. I got myself one yesterday. Battery life insane, GPS measures so accurately that honestly I cant believe it...
i love my g2. its big enough but not too big and the hardware is really good. I use the cloudy flex and my battery life is amazing. 2 days with wifi and bluetooth in daily use.
Hi all,
I am lucky enough to get a hold of a North American V20, H915 (Unlocked from local Carrier) locally through connections after seeing one on sale on ebay.
I also have a G5 as my daily driver prior to this and thought that it was the most underrated phone in 2016 (other than build quality). I have had every single mainstream phones out there since 2007, including the recently returned exploding Note 7
Ask if anything that you might have about it, and I will try my best to answer.
Cheers.

How's the battery life? I had a note 7 as well and now I'm checking this one out. I think I read it's a 3200m. I'm using a oneplus 3 and I'm honestly liking it. Haha
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
The first day was stellar, had a full charge when I start the day and ended with 46% by the end of the day. It runs extremely cool and seem to manage the battery much better than the Note 7 and G5. The G5 does well most of the time but it's inconsistent, it could be due to the better Doze as well.
I will monitor it over the next few days and report back.
How's the camera? It seems from media they use the dual lenses in a less effective manner than the iPhone. The wide angle looks a bit weird. Can you give some overall impressions of video and stills?

I too would like to know about the camera, as reviews have only been for the preproduction units. If you could, possibly upload a few of them. Thanks.

The first day was stellar, had a full charge when I start the day and ended with 46% by the end of the day. It runs extremely cool and seem to manage the battery much better than the Note 7 and G5. The G5 does well most of the time but it's inconsistent, it could be due to the better Doze as well.
I will monitor it over the next few days and report back.

Glad to hear that. I had the G5. It was horrible. Main reason I got rid of it. I liked the camera and features though.

OK Google detection while screen is off. Coming from a note 7, where OK Google didn't work while screen was off unless plugged in or charging wirelessly.?

Are you able to provide impressions of the phone playing high definition audio files through high impedance headphones? Thanks

So. This.
How is the build quality? Sturdy? Slippery to hold? Awkwardly large?
How's the fluidity of the software? Is Nougat pretty awesome? LGs skin pretty minimal?
How's the fingerprint scanner? Fast? Accurate? Positioned well?
How slow is the camera in terms of opening?

Of the reasons I'm interested in buying the V20, the audio quality and loudness is tops. Appreciate if you can give some feedback on your experience so far, thanks!
Speaker power compared with iphone 7 plus if you can?
Hurry back! How's the Speaker sound, Camera quality, UI Performance, etc.?
How does the v20 sound with wireless headphones vs wired headphones (same,better, worse)? Also how is overall sound vs note 7?
Please tell us the screen on time you get after you cycle through the battery a few times.
