Looking for advice for a phone

Hey guys / gals, I know this is the G2 forum, but looking for advice. Getting my son (middle school) a phone and want to get him something nice. I have the HTC One and love it, but wondering if this would be a better phone (technology) wise. Curious your opinions... Especially if you have owned multiple phones before the G2...
Technology... size (is this too big for a young kid)...etc. Thanks everyone

What do you think of the LG UI?

Stock LG UI / ROM is actually damn good. Being a previous flash mod junkie, I don't even care to leave stock.

The G2 might be a little too high spec for a kid in middle school.
I would honestly recommend the Moto X. He could customize it to his liking and it won't put a dent in your wallet. Its a good size, top of the line technology and the specs are just about right. The UI is sleek.
Anyways thats what I would do in your position. Happy shopping.:good:

LG UI is probably one of the nicer stock UI's (IMO). I've used most of them.

My growing LG G family.

My growing G family.
From the G1 way back in 2008
to
The newest G3.
The only one missing from the picture is the G2.
Never had it.

The G1 wasn't made by LG. It was made by HTC...

I'm pretty sure when the title says "my LG G family" it means he did.

Well.....
Let me amend my original post.
My growing G family.
Charged the G1 and it had so many updates I had to say maybe later.....
It's so amazing by looking at the UI that Android has come so far in six or so years.

I know I sure do. Never go anywhere without my g1

One thing that i like with lg g series, is at least they are tryng to improve the design (G2 to G3). You can spot the difference. Unlike with other manufacturer whos trying to stick with their traditional design.

I used the G1 way back in 2008. It was one of, if not the first
Android phone. I had a Nokia N95 at the time and was way into Symbian but, the screen broke and was way too expensive to fix so
went to Andy and the rest is history.

LG G3A - The perfect version

http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_announces_g3_a_in_south_korea-news-9264.php
I see that LG have announced a new version of the G3 and this to me is the perfect version - Basically the G2 with a memory card slot / removable battery and laser camera.
These are the specs I wanted - the QHD screen on the G3 is overkill and restricts the phone - the size is a little bit too big.
I hope there will be an international version - If not I will try to import one if I can confirm that it will work on the UK network.

There is like 4 versions now? G3 g3 beat g3 prime g3 a. Prob missed something.
Edit: G3 stylus or whatever its called.

I'm so tired of seeing these threads. If you want G2, go buy a G2.

Foreal. All it says is "I'm a big fat crybaby". Most of the people doing this don't even own the phone.

Basically it's the same old G2 F320, which I got at hand for almost a year already, but with added Laser. Why did you wait so long?

I doubt it. The 5" Optimus Pro F220 version was restricted for Korean mobops, the same is with G Pro 2, only for SEA and SK market. LG phones are too unpopular in EU so there's no motivation for expenses of logistics and support

G3 sucks I can't get five days on a single charge also having this major lag out it. Like it takes a full millisecond to open a app. Lg failed with this device...................

Get back in your box!
I had the G2 and upgraded to the G3 which is an excellent phone - it's just that for me, and a lot of people, the specs of the G3a are more suitable.
I am not slagging the G3 in any way. I actually think LG are the current best phone makers, it is just a shame the General public are unaware of that and follow the hype of other manufacturers.

What's so wrong about talking about a New version of this phone? It is official and not just something I am wishing for. If you don't want to read the tread go and read something else that does interest you.

Funny and in some ways very true.
But this is the internet after all!

Or maybe it's the fact that others are not experiencing the issues that you have with the device. Its the same as some love meat while others don't. Honestly unless the battery capacity is raised with those other additional g3's then I wouldn't see the need to get it! But that's me........... Just going by your what you post

I totally agree with you, but a choice that fits different needs is what is great.
Others produce a mini version of a flagship at much lower specs which just don't suit the needs of those who like high end phones. The G3a is a great compromise (for me)

I will buy one.
And this is a forum where we discuss new phones etc - that is the purpose of the thread! Or is that concept a little difficult for you.

What phone in the past 3 years have you been able to get 5 days out of a single charge with?

I think the OP made his point, we don't need OT discussions on who's a fanboy of what or something like that.

I had G3 and said to myself that I'll never buy LG again,
I don't know why but I bought G4 (maybe the low price) and now I'm sure I will never buy LG again.
Samsung is a much better company that listens to her customers.

M8 i own a galaxy s6 and a lg g4 and both on lollipop the lg4 outperformed the s6 in evry aspect, but since they got updatet both to mm the s6 turned into a beast of a phone outperforming the g4 in evry aspect. Thats my 2nd lg phone i was disappointed with the 4x HD and now same **** on the g4 both got updated to death. G4 is definitly my last LG phone. I think next year i ll try HTC. They look very good
Still waiting for that bootloop ???
