Guys, I think we may celebrate the fact that we bought THE BEST Android smartphone out there. And pour some champagne in glasses:highfive:
And they say http://www.technologytell.com/gadgets/141977/report-lg-fastest-growing-android-maker-us-today/ that
LG G2 marks a significant change in direction for LG, now aiming squarely towards the top end of the market. Customer recommendation figures for the past three months show the LG G2 has the highest rating of any new handset at 9.2 out of 10, followed by the iPhone 5S at 9.1 and Samsung Galaxy Note III at 9.0
Specifically the LG G2 helped bring LG’s numbers up in the country. In fact, the LG G2 is ahead of Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Apple iPhone 5S.

The only realistic thing we should celebrate is LG's 'powerhouse return' which some of us did while choosing the phone.

IDK what exactly powerhouse return means, sorry. Is it a hint that LG's phones fail & RMA a lot?

Yes LG G2 is definitely the best phone of 2013 In most if not all aspects. Now the LG G3 will be the champion of all this year. I can't wait!!!

Looking forward to the L3 release.....I'm hoping they will integrate the Moto X voice commands and keep all the other gimmicky stuff away. I'm kind of disappointed with the LG smartwatch from the teasers thou. I may have to go with the android smartwatch.
Yeah, G2 is better than N5 in many ways. As for price, unless you're getting it directly from Google, it's not that affordable. In my country Nexus 5 is being sold for only $40-50 cheaper than G2 and that's the 16GB variant.
G2 is so underrated although it's currently, IMO, delivering best value for price among other major OEM (except maybe Xiaomi with Mi3).

Mediamarkt is funny, cheap with some electronics expensive with others.
dont even think their prices are market conform.
anyway if they price the two phones the same, either the g2 is really cheap there (which I doubt) or they rip customers off with the Nexus pricing
lg is growing fast because of price quality ratio, once they go Samsung with overpriced flagships the Chinese will grow even further, they are the next Apples/Samsungs. already they are very innovative with product design and user experience

kinda the second... although they probably find they get away with it sales wise thanks to the ridiculously positive publicity the nexus tends to get. for some reason no matter how much the prices get marked up from google's, it keeps getting praised for being cheap and cost-effective.
of course, the LG G2 should be known as the real king of cost-effectiveness in the smartphone world, but among the broad public it remains a sleeper hit.

The Nexus everywhere in offline stores costs about 500 euros. It costs cheaply ONLY in Play Store. And only in Play Store. In offline Nexus costs same as G2, maybe $50 or so cheaper

I doubt it, Chinese have nothing of their own, they just compile 3rd party pieces of hardware and sell it to make damping. No own design, no fancy software as Voice Mate or QTransator or QuickRemote
Xiaomi or One Plus aka Oppo phones for another hand cost as much as LG claim, no less. Sometimes Oppo costs even higher because LG's sell in volumes and newer supplies get discounts and cheaper prices, OTH stores and market sell old Oppo phones for old high price

I get that it's not a Nexus 4 and it's around $100 more off contract. I also get that the GS3 has more brand awareness, but this is a really awesome phone. I actually think the LG skin is good and adds a lot of functionality over stock Android.
I have a GS3, Note II, iPhone 5, and Lumia 920. This is my favorite phone out of all of them. The screen, feel in the hand, speed, and software touches make it almost a perfect device. Battery life has been good and my only real complaint is that the camera could have been better.
So what's holding it back? Marketing? I know LG has stumbled in the past, but this is not one of those times. I honestly probably wouldn't have even thought to buy the phone if not for the article about Consumer Reports rating it above the iPhone 5 and GS3 in customer satisfaction. I had to see what it was about and fell in love with it right away in the store.
As it stands, I couldn't recommend this phone more highly to people on AT&T who want an Android phone. I would definitely recommend it over the GS3, and that's saying a lot. The lack of activity in these forums, along with the sparse development tells me that it's definitely not getting into enough hands, and that's unfortunate.
LG's has a rather tarnished reputation as far as smartphone is concerned, they've had long lines of disappointing and mediocre mid-tier releases over the years plus poor record of software updates. Even with a phone like OG, it's going to take awhile to reboot their image.

I've not been a great fan of LG until this phone. I briefly considered that 3d camera phone from 2011 on AT&T that LG made, but ultimately chose the SII (and I made the right choice; I was one more f-ed up phone from buying an iphone). This phone impressed me in reviews and in stores (the demos blew me away). I chose it against the SIII and the One X and other flagship phones due to it matching what I wanted. I loved most of the SIII, but I hated that it had a physical home button. The one x seemed nice, but I didn't like non expandable storage and an unremovable battery. The only thing I had against the LGOG was the battery being built in; however, everything else about it sold me. I feel that LG has finally made a phone worth it (2 phones counting the Nexus), and have the potential to beat Samsung. However, this is an uphill battle for LG. I personally have known people to pick the SIII just because Samsung is the most widely known. LG will have to fight against that in order to be purchased. Plus, people are more impressed by expensive phones, and sometimes buy the expensive ones because they assume those are the best. I really think that that, oddly enough, is also contributing to the LGOG having slightly lower sales numbers.
Tl;dr
LG has a fight with Samsung due to name recognition, and price drops may have had a negative effect. Many customers don't research phones thoroughly, and buy from a certain brand, or the expensive ones (because you get what you pay for).

I'm happy for getting the phone for only $49, but I can't grasp the reason behind the price drop. OG is their only qualified flagship in years yet they are on sale at the price point of low-end giveaways. Granted it's probably just weekend promo but still, I find it odd to lower the price to this range in a non-holiday season.

I think the reasoning behind the price drop is building for the future, if you get your best phone in as many hands possible, the people who by it recommend the brand to others and are more likely to buy lg in the future when its time to upgrade.

I know if any of my friends are looking into a new phone I will put in a good word for the OG. And that is funny because when it came out I originally looked at it and then went "Nah, I still want the One X."
By the time I was able to upgrade, the One X+ was out, at double the price of the OG and I didn't want an outdated phone. Now I'm not saying the One X isn't good, it had just already been replaced by a refresher phone.
I am soo happy with this phone.

Half of the reason I made this decision.
I had a Sony Xperia X10 with an ancient 1Ghz snapdragon and then got an Asus Transformer with a Tegra 2...
So I was impressed more by Nvidia/Tegra at the time than Qualcomm/Snapdragon (I know, completely unfair).
But I had been reading everywhere that the S4 Pro was a beast and much better than Tegra 3s.
I don't like Sense anyways and I would have had a custom ROM, so the multitasking wasn't a big deal.
We have an extra gig of RAM to play with too. :highfive:

Doubt it. If the price stays low in states, doesn't bode well with G launch in Europe, unless LG do a dual tier launch of G & G Pro at the same time, but that's a remote possibility given G is set for March release in EU region.

There's always something else around the corner. The Pro is likely months from hitting the U. S. on any carrier.
In all honesty, I'd still choose the G. I prefer the size and the 200mhz overclock would hardly be noticeable.

Speaking critically of the android community for a brief second..
As much as people criticize Apple fans for putting too much value in brand name, a lot of Android fans are really overly zealous Samsung fanboys.
I won't say it's a bad brand or that the phones they make aren't nice.. But, taking a stroll to the Android subreddit you will find a lot of rabid Samsung fanboyism.
We hear less criticism of Samsung these days because they are just that popular.. still I remember as though it were yesterday people wouldn't shut up about how cheap the phones felt, how horrible various aspects of touchwiz were..
And sadly a lot of people won't even consider the LG OG because it's not Samsung.. but, if Samsung were to incorporate some of the LGOG features people would rave over it. I can see it now... slipping the LGOG specs and skin into a Samsung shell and hearing people brag and brag and act as though it Samsung were curing cancer.
Outside of that, honestly at $350 the N4 makes a hell of a deal. Even if you had a contract but, would like to keep your service without signing up for another 2 years would be a nice option.
Besides all of that? Well your average customer is told what to buy really. Speaking as a salesman I can tell you, if you don't know what you are buying, I'll be happy to tell you. (Granted I no longer work in sales but, it was a lesson learned.)
Edit: one final thought. I don't care because I'm honestly just that happy with it..... but, we still don't have an official cm10 port and that hurts us big time.
Consider this before buying. No flame intented. I simply was planning to get one myself then changed my mind.

I'm quite happy with Android 4.1, so I guess it depends what KLP brings, but it's hard to imagine Google bringing anything that would make me want to abandon HTC's awesome camera software (which is one of the reasons I personally prefer HTC phones).
I bought a One XL last year around the same time, and Google I/O didn't make me regret that decision. Besides, this time I'll have a One XL I can mess around with if I want to install CM11 or something.

Precisely. Personally, I feel HTC is on the brink of a huge change, they've already dropped the source code and the phone hasn't even shipped in US yet! Also, it will definitely help to have the same device across several carriers (Even international ones!)
I feel the winds of change wafting from HTC and I must say, I love it.

I am definitely super-excited that the international and NA versions of the HTC One use the same chipset - that was one of the big issues with the One X and One XL last year.

Not to be the voice of doom or piss in anyone's Cheerios but HTC's in a world of hurt. The shipping delay for the One's cost them dearly financially and now its actual availability is going to bump up against Samsung's gazillion dollar marketing budget for the SGS4. Samsung also co-ops heavily with the U.S. carriers for advertising and provides big sales incentives down to the associate level. And if you walk in to a Best Buy you'll be greeted by Samsung's "Experience" sound and light show while a dummy One sits lonely and tethered to an end-cap somewhere next to a "free" LG Phone. With a Nexus 5 possible at I/O, an iP5s and lower-cost iPhone in June, Motorola's "Phone X," a Note III, and LG's 1080P 5" and 5.5" Optimus Pro Plus' all due by fall, the One's going to get lost in a sea of other devices a few months after launch because of HTC's (now even more) limited promotional budget. They have a tough road to hoe and 2013 will determine their future.

This is an easy one for me. I'll just keep my Nexus 4 around until I/O. If what Google shows at I/O wows me and I can get it on the Nexus 4, I'll consider selling the One, but DAMN, it would have to be some mind blowing software for me to give up such amazing hardware and go back to a slower processor, worse screen, worse camera, worse speaker, cheaper materials, and no LTE.

Whole argument is stupid in my opinion. It's clearly cut black and white. If you want immediate updates to current version of android go for a nexus. If you want real hardware get the HTC One. Unless HTC builds a nexus the new one won't be special.
I don't know why people buy carrier subsidized phones then complain when it stays a version behind. The phone company is there to make money. Put on your big boy pants and go nexus or shut up about it. It's really that simple

With all that fantastic hardware, the potential of G2 is amazing. I even ordered one myself and one I will have it tomorrow I you told me a couple of months ago that I would order a LG phone I would laugh.
But, now, the question, how much resources do you think LG as a company, would lay into their new champion to get a good reputation for their high end smartphones?
Apple and Samsung use insane amount of money on marketing, and in the smartphone world most ppl do know what they products are like. But not with the new attitude of LG. They are now up with the big guys. Do you think LG try it best to squeeze all the might there is of G2?
Did you use translator? If yes, type shorter sentences.
Actually now its all about curved display not about g2

I really don't understand this move by LG (if correct). They are just killing the G2.
According to a believable source, the Nexus 5 is going to have two variants, while the more expensive one ($399) will have 32GB, and, get this, a 3000mah battery !!

Why, on earth, should anyone prefer the G2 under these circumstances ?
We still have several days to ditch our G2, before it loses its value...
My only question is then, why did LG made such a big issue out of the G2, if two months later they are giving almost same hardware for 60% the price...
I doubt that the 32GB version will have a 3000mAh battery.
The N5 16GB was listed for 350$ earlier today in the PlayStore.

It's a subsidized price from Google, not LG. Google will take hit on every hardware sold and make up for it in the long term from play store purchases. This is how the Console industry has been working, PS3 and Xbox were sold at loss, but profit was made out of software.
32 GB G2 will settle for a price around 500$, price of Nexus 5 will stay the same for the life cycle. Also G2 has a better camera, IR blaster, 3000 mAh Battery is still not confirmed for 32 GB model, it is a rumour.
I would still buy G2 over Nexus 5, because stock android sucks.
If the Nexus 5 is going to have a 3000mah varient, the G2 will never have a developer community. In that case I think we should all switch to the Nexus 5, we'll earn money (if we sell the G2 soon), have normal volume/power buttons, and the best developer community one could imagine. What will we be sacrificing ? 0.2 inch in screen size, and several megapixels in camera ? that really doesn't cut it.

According to a believable source, the Nexus 5 is going to have two variants, while the more expensive one ($399) will have 32GB, and, get this, a 3000mah battery !!

Why, on earth, should anyone prefer the G2 under these circumstances ?
We still have several days to ditch our G2, before it loses its value...
My only question is then, why did LG made such a big issue out of the G2, if two months later they are giving almost same hardware for 60% the price...

Don't get you.... An old article as a proof to rumors?
As someone above posted the Cheaper one will go for 349 dollars. That means for me 349 euro. (even though our retailers will make 549 from it like they always do....)
Here you can get the LG G2 460 euro. If the more expensive of the N5 will be for min 400 more like 449 euro it will be just few Euro difference.
And we still don't know how it will be. If the USB OTG function will not be working again. Lesser camera. Battery. No radio, too many unknowns.
No matter how much you compare it. Maximum the N5 value will match the G2 at least in my country.
For sure not kill it.

or the most cluttered one and many lazy users that almost do not know how to use a computer
I always wonder how the people in Nexus forums or rather why they bought a Nexus phone. there is nothing easier as to unlock, root, flash as on a Nexus and yet they are able to mess up and need videos howtos for a 14 seconds job of 2 steps.

The question is why on earth are you still here and trolling? You only post threads to bash the G2. It's like a G2 murdered your family and now you are all pissed at it. Not every country have the low Google prices, not every carrier will get nexus 5. Please just sell your G2 so we can stop having to deal with your whining.
So what if it has 3k battery and 32gb? So does my G2. Really don't understand why that is a game changer even if it is true.

Only an idiot would buy the G2 because he thinks its going to have development from the Nexus 5.
Almost as dumb as someone buying the LG Optimus G thinking it's going to have development from the Nexus 4.

If you stick your hand in a garbage disposal and turn it on, you'll find hundreds of diamonds. I haven't seen any news contradicting this...so it must be true.

I would take the G2 instead of the Nexus 5 just for the Knock On feature (and the larger screen comes second). I can't believe how useful that feature is to me. I also use the FM Radio and IR remote every day. I also don't want to wait again for months until the Nexus 5 is in stock, etc. I barely got the Nexus 4 three months after release, first waiting for it to be in stock, then finding a reasonably fast and secure way to import it to my country. No thanks.
As for the software, I won't go back to the stock Android limitations like not being able to set different sound volumes for calls and notifications.
Kit Kat 4.4 will be available for the G2 very soon, probably a few weeks from the Nexus 5 launch. But I just don't care anymore what Android version my phone has. The last few versions have been sufficiently good as to not care which one I am running.
I'm wondering if the Nexus 5 has anything to do with the Sprint G2 being delayed a little? Maybe Google told them to kick the Nexus 5 production into high gear, so they don't have the same shortages as every other device launch in the past?

Or the HTC one, or the Samsung galaxy s4 getting development from the Google experience editions. Oh wait!

Seriously?
Hi,
First for the managers, it's my first post here in XDA, so if i did something wrong please fix me and dont lock the thread, thnx
Ok so lets begin:
I'm debating between the Nexus 5 and the LG G2.
I know it's LG G2 forum but i need your recommendation, so please answer seriously.
Usually i use the phone to play games like FIFA 14, Modern Combat 4, NBA 2K13 and more heavy games.
I need powerful battery that will hold 8-10 Hours at least.
I know that the G2 have powerful battery, but is it wroth the price of him?
I'm liked the Nexus 5 interface, does the G2 have some launchers that change it like the Nexus interface?
The G2 and the Nexus 5 is almost the same phone.
The only thing why i dont buy it right now it's because the software updates, i heard that it gonna be something like 2-3 updates for him and thats it.
Is it true?
Thank you !
Might be helpful to specify what country and what mobile phone carrier you plan to use it on, and also how much of a price difference you would have between the two phones (since that can change depending on country).
Personally, I *love* my G2 - especially it's battery life. But ... I also got it for $150 on contract. If I were comparing direct prices it would be like $600 for the G2 and $350 for the Nexus 5. For that kind of difference, I would definitely go for the N5. I cannot find enough reasons to pay such a premium for the G2 no matter how much I like it. Lose some features and battery life, but you also get Qi wireless charging which can make it more tolerable, and the regular updates is a nice bonus!
i think g2 with asop is the best device!

Can you explain why?
You didn't answer MobileNicks questions. It looks like you are in Israel? What's the price for YOU? In U.S. the price is a major factor as it may be for you. Since you didn't mention it though I'm guessing price is no concern for you and your money tree?
And what carrier bands are in Israel? If you want band 13? Like Verizon in US then Nexus 5 is out. You didn't mention using it as a phone so is it just a gaming device?
If you want updates get the Nexus 5.
Do you ROM? Nexus 5.
Battery, screen, camera G2.

Thanks for the prompt answer.
Actually i dont know about the band but i know that it is not an issue here. About the price, well in Israel the price is almost the same (LG is 50$ more expensive).
I want to buy it in US.
Maybe i will root him, but not sure.
The usage will be more of gaming then phone...
How do you expect a mod to not close this thread. All you need to do is read the rules and use some common sense. Like maybe posting a question in the thread for questions and answers. I think you would be better off with a nexus 5 only so you can post in that forum.
