I have a G2, love the phone, but am interested in the G3. I was wondering if any of you who have gotten the G3 came from the G2 and what your opinions and thoughts on the switch are.

swapped an upgrade and am trying out a g3 right now... just got it tonight, so i'm not judging it quite yet. I think the new screen is really nice, not a huge difference off the 1080p screens, but still nice. battery seems meh so far, and I had awesome battery life on my G2.... i'm gonna give it the weekend and see how it does. Then again, my g2 was running Mahdi, etc, so it really isn't a fair comparison

Someone I work with got one and it seems really nice, the stock OS seems very nice and I really like the look of it, toned down and flattened out from the stock OS on the G2. With the G2 I will go back to stock but can never seem to stay there long before I miss CM11 and go back to it. Overall very happy with the G2 on CM11, just a nerd who likes having the latest and greatest lol.
I came from the VZW G2. I, too, was looking forward this phone as being the next greatest thing. I DO like the phone. I am still getting used to the size. When you hold the G2 and G3 together you can see that the G3 isn't hugely bigger than the G2. But to me it really FEELs bigger. Trying to decide if I really like that. I'm not a fan of the big phablets, and maybe the G2 is as big as I want to go. We'll see. I like the ability to have more memory with the SD card - that is a big difference. I always had to keep an eye on memory with my G2. Battery life is not as good as my G2. That may be better when we start to get some custom ROMs, but for the first time in many months I find myself below 30% at the end of the workday. I expected to be wowed by the screen and display. That didn't happen. It's fine, just not a "wow - look at that" kind of experience.
Well, hope this helps. As always, YMMV.
verizon g3
I came from the g2 also and I agree with everything that had been said, it's not a huge upgrade. I only paid 99 dollars so it was worth it for me and the memory card slot is a great add, plus the I love my g2 so getting the g3 was a no brainer for me. The battery dies faster for sure but last the whole day still, I've not had one problem with the phone at all yet.

Ditto. ^^^^
If it wasn't for the $99, and I had to pay the $600, no way I'd switch. The G2's a great phone and will still be going strong a year from now. Heck, two years from now.

Agreed!
I am just surprised at the weight, so light compared to G2.. hell I didn't think mine was a real G3 till I threw in the battery :laugh:
Love the extra real estate but gonna have to change DPI (things too big).
I came from a G2 as well and for me it was a game changer. I did not have very good signal with the G2 but with the G3, I am now getting signal everywhere and even in places where I wouldn't imagine. I really like my G3!

I can second the boost in signal. My g2 was horrible at my house. G3 is a champ. Couple that with a larger screen, removable battery and expandable storage, a more premium feel and design that is the same as all other variants. (Something owners of the Verizon g2 had to deal with as far as cases) I think it's a worthy upgrade. Especially at the $99 price tag.

Double ditto here. I LOVED my G2 (on Verizon), and even though I'm only a week in with the G3, I still miss it (a little) - the G3's pros:
*screen is bigger
*removable back/battery/SD card
*stock ROM is more tolerable (though I still use Nova Launcher)
*lighter than G2/feels better/back isn't gross
*rear keys are much improved
For me, it was a no brainer - sold my G2 to a buddy, then used the profit to do alternate upgrade and swap out the phones. Made a little cash and got a newer, free phone. At $199 or full retail I probably would have held only my G2 though. I will say my G3 seems to handle the 3G/4G handoffs a little better, my G2 (where I work, I get horrible, horrible signal strength) would get hot during the day and often I would shut off mobile data to preserve the battery. The G3 will get me thru a day at work even with the terrible connection without shutting data off. The battery life is very acceptable, with a fully day of usage (yesterday as an example on a 50/50 mix of LTE & WiFi I got to just over 5 hours SOT, 16 hours off a charge and had 6% left, and did a fair bit of video streaming during that time) for my needs easily.
For free/cheap, I'd say do it if the size doesn't bother you. Someone else in the thread mentioned it doesn't LOOK bigger, but it FEELS bigger. I'd say that nails it right on the head. At full retail, I'd say stick with what you've got.
Wife has the G2. I got it for her about 2 months ago.
If the G2 had a removable sd I would have gotten it over the GS4 I bought last year.
I came from a GS4.
Anyway, with the G2 and G3 side by side, you know they are both LG and Verizon.
G3 is a little taller but not much wider.
My wife has a bulkier case on her phone and I have a thin case on mine.
Now with them side by side they are about the same size.
If it's size you are worried about, I was too.
With the screen on the phone looks MASSIVE, because the screen is.
But on the positive, they were able to fit a phablet size screen in something that is about the same size as the G2, Galaxy S5 and the HTC One M8.
I wouldn't take my GS4 back if you paid me.
But the G3 as an upgrade to a G2??? Only if a removable battery and/or SD support is important.
Only the SD is important to me.
I have to agree with 99% of the above statements. I went from a Note 2 to a G2 for a few months and now the G3. I really liked the smallness of the G2 compared to the bulk of the Note 2. Thought I was not going to like going back up to a 5.5 but LG made it more manageable. Overall upgrade from G2 to G3, I would not recommend unless you need the removable battery and SD card. No performance gain to be had, and some applications have proven it to take a hit between the two. I can imagine the screen makes for most of the performance hit. But it does look great and takes awesome pictures and video. The only reason I upgraded was the good price and the old G2 will be replacing a Nexus on another line.:good:
im interested to buy the lg g3.. but if you sell it.. why are you sell it up? what would be the next phone?
I've been wanting to trade to a Nexus 5 actually. There's just a couple of things about my G3 that bug me.

why do you sell it?
I planned on selling g3 to get n6. I have since changed my mind. Too many lg features i love about the g3 that id hate to lose, such as quick memo, cliptray, ir port. Plus we're likely to get lollipop very soon.
The longer i keep the g3, the more attached i get to it.
I bought the G3 about 6 weeks ago, and at that time I didn't see anything else I liked better. The GS5 was in the running, if only it wasn't so ugly. But nothing that's been released since then has changed my mind. The Nexus 6 is just too big, and the reviews of it haven't been all that stellar.
But all of the premium phones have plusses and minuses, so whether the G3 is the best choice for you depends on what's important to you. I think the GS5 has a better screen overall, the HTC One has better sound, etc.
I researched phones for months before I decided on the G3, and I am glad I waited. The Nexus 6 was a strong contender but it doesn't have an IR port and in my house either the remote is lost or somebody took the batteries to put in a x-box controller. The specs on the phone was the other selling point. I figured if I hated the LG UI i could always load a custom ROM. I have been using it for about 6 weeks now and I actually like it right out of the box of course the added bloatware sux, but I wanted to see what I thought before I changed anything. so far so good, and battery life is great. I wouldn't trade it for anything else at the moment.

This. Coming from a GS3, I thought the first thing I'd do is get rid of stock but now I'm wondering if I won't stay on stock once AOSP Roms start coming

Forgive me, I'm sure these posts keep cropping up but I just had to share.
Got a Samsung Note 4, and yes, it does a lot, and does it quickly. But....
Believe it or not, my G2 keeps up with it on all fronts and on many of them, surges ahead.
1st, the screen that the G2 got is still nearly unbeatable. I know the Note four is higher res, but the G2 screen is bright and clear, the colors are snappy and the thing pops. It's far more 'exciting' to look at and you really can't tell the difference in res. Further, the glass on the G2 is the most glorious I've used, very smooth and very, very hard. 2 years on, it still feels like liquid with very few scratches on it, without ever having used a case. The Note four, 2 weeks old, micro-scratch hell.
2nd, the battery kills the Note, hands down. I'm rooted and haven't refreshed in many months so it's settled down, I use DS battery saver and SD maid, and consistently the phone that's still living at 11pm is the G2. All the rest have collapsed and are recuperating with their chargers.
And lastly, speed. The Note does a lot of things. It's a productivity demon, it can multi-task very many different functions without ever slowing down, it's consistent and whatever you throw at it -games open, internetting, office+cloud, video/music, Facebook, split window, multi-window, window-in-window, - all AT THE SAME TIME, it doesn't stumble. Doesn't even cough.
But.
The G2 is faster. Imagine that. At everything it does within its system, it's faster. Once on the net no phone can beat the Note's vicious engine but everything within the G2's system is quicker. Opening and switching Apps, gliding through screens etc is not only very fast but very smooth, and.... The experience is like no other because of that wonderfully curved, beautifully coated, extra tough glass.
A bonus: that beautifully constructed, stock G2 home launcher! Yeah, I know, I'm the first to change launchers, used them ALL trust me, all, the stock G2 launcher is the slickest.
I was going to sell my G2 but I'm going to keep it. For life. Once in a while a company gets it right, and the G2 got it right. The few things it didn't, it tried to correct for in the G3 - the measly 16gb which just doesn't cut it these days, no access to the battery or to expandable memory -these things hurt it but the G3 is a completely different machine. And it's not as good.
The LgG2 chassis has become quite simply, one of the best I've ever owned. Things came together for LG here like a good number one hit - very hard to replicate. I hope they manage to pull something off with the G4 that erases their rush with the G3 - not that it's a bad Phone.
Sorry for my rant but there it is. After a month with both phones side-by-side, I had to let you all know. The G2 rocks properly. Like nothing else out there. Still.

Agreed... I have had mine for over a year Now...I used to be a phone addict always wanting something faster...well the lg g2 is the only phone that has felt "fast" enough...the battery is amazing and the screen is amazing as well..I kivr the bezel and lg's software...hands down the best phone I have ever owned still 1 year down the road.

I have g2. Not selling yet. But I like g3 and note 4 is really good. I think I can keep g2 for this year.
Ive note 3 and g2...love them both so much...g2 got better screen and the battery life is amazingggg...like u said this phone is rock still

Still rocking my g2 but a lot of your post is just patently false from using my gf's Note 4. The res is distinguishable, text looks a lot crisper on the note and that's something I noticed from first glance. Same for performance, I'm satisfied with my G2's performance but the G3 and Note 4 are just snappier. Only thing I can't speak definitively on is battery life as I haven't used the Note 4 for extended periods of time but I don't see how a used G2 battery is beating a brand new phone's battery, even if the resolution is higher the note is also amoled which will save power in certain circumstances. That sounds more like app/wakelock differences or one phone being rooted with the correct kernels/changes while the other is not.
We can love our G2 because it's still a great phone without hyping it against newer models. I'll probably have my g2 until the G4 or some other phone comes out later this year but I won't delude myself into thinking it's an objectively better phone than things with objectively better screens/processors/battery.
I got my G2 bundled with a postpaid plan on a 2-year contract. At the time, I was expecting that, after a year, I'd be looking for a replacement phone just to keep up with the times. But it's already been 16 months, and I still can't find any reason to drop this phone and get a new one. Heck, I even like this better than the G3, TBH. I even think that I'll be keeping this one active even after I renew my contract and get a new phone, maybe the next Note.
Agree G2 is perfect sized phone. Especially with the Verzion version having wireless charging. Do wish it had microSD slot. Thankfully Google+ backup fixes that.
Obsessive
Speed, Display, Power, Features and whatnot? You name it and we have it. Salute to the LG for pulling up a truly smartphone. Truly Amazing.

I don't think you have lived with both phones. The LgG2 screen is immediately richer and more iridescent than the Note 4. It is only on prolonged use that res begins to show, and only because the Note uses and handles small text better and has deeper Black's on images. You DO realise after a while that indeed, the qHD on the Samsung is the best on the market - you get it when you try to go back to full HD, don't let anyone kid you - and it becomes clear that LG accentuates the brilliance of its screens - but that's not the point. In use, the LgG2 remains an exciting display, and the glass on it is unsurpassed even by the Note 4.
The battery in the LgG2 only seems to get better, the longer the phone sits on its hardware undisturbed, and is factually, longer-lasting than the Note 4. In fact, battery life is the main issue facing the Note. You will need your spare before the day is over and I suspect all firmware updates will be focused on this for a while.
The Note is a beast, no doubt. The point here is not comparison. It is that the LgG2 in particular, 2 years into the fray, is no slacker.
The G3? The jury is back on that one - they'll have to fix it with the G4 - the reviewers are well aware of that, it's all over the place. Where the G2 was splendid, the G3 was just the 1st with qHD.
It will need more than that this year.
Just saying.

I agree! I sold mine last year and have had numerous phones since then. Some of them multiple times! The G2 remains my favorite. I currently have the 6 Plus, and decided the other day to sell it and grab me a 128gb iPad Air 2 and pick up an older phone. I'll end up about even on the deal. Well, I have a mint Nexus 5, a mint LG G2, and a new LG G2 in the mail heading my way. Found a great deal on the new one after buying the mint condition and couldn't pass it up. I'm not sure whether I'll keep the Nexus or the G2, but I'm excited to give the G2 another run!

I still enjoy my G2, still performs just as sharp as the day I got it about 13 months ago. Because it's a D800, I expect AT&T to have us wait for the Lollipop update. Rooting is out of the question for me, as I have experienced overheating both times I tried it.
Hi, I currently have the galaxy note 3, and my contract is up right now.
I have only owned and loved the galaxy notes since the original, and was very excited about the note 5.... Until it was announced, and am now feeling very underwhelmed by it. Then there was all the talk of the lg g4 pro (again very excited by all the hype), which turned out to be this phone, the lg v10.
My question is, having never owned an LG phone before, should I get this phone?
I love the look of it, but am a bit concerned over the sd808, and overall it looks like an oversized g4 from the specs.
My mobile contract will be 24 months.
Do I hang on and see what happens in 2016, or jump in and get what seems to be a really decent phone (when it is released in the uk).
What are LG like when it comes to software updates compared with Samsung?
Having watched all the vids on YouTube, does anyone know what it's like after a few days use when the hype has worn down a bit? I've looked and only found 1 on YouTube.
Thanks in advance for your opinions
Dave
In 2016 you are going to ask your self the same question on a newer device than this. Technology just moves so fast, so next year something new will come along and you will be just as confused. Just buy it if you like it..
Only had an G2 in the past, but back then LG were decent on software updates. No way quicker or slower than other makers. Personally i Root and flash custom root so im updated before LG pushes out their own ROMs.
Go for it.. try it.. Like it? Buy it.
I personally sit and watch the reviews and words on the street (XDA) if it is good or not. Usually don´t buy first batch phones as they are the ones coming with errors.

Honestly, if your main concern over the 808 is not having a top antutu benchmark, then you should wait for 2016. The 808 has plenty of horsepower to make the G4 and V10 fly, so if its user experience you are more concerned with, I say make the leap!
All discussions about buying new phone or advise not to upgrade goes in this thread.
Personally, I wouldn't mind keeping the G2 but I will need to replace the battery on mine if I shall keep using it. Normal since I've had the phone for 2 years now.
I got the phone for almost 3 years now, never changed the battery - always charging with LG's charger and having nice battery life [CM and Stock, whatever you prefer]
I don't see any good reason to move on, nothing has dramatically changed yet. Fingerprint? Wireless charging?
So I think we can stick to our good old G2 for a bit more...
My G2 has 3 years already and is perfect. I picked it up already used and still have nice battery life, around 5 to 7 hours of SOT. I'm on my second G2, this one with 32GB of internal memory and I don't see any good reason to spend a lot of money that I don't have on a new device that doesn't add that much. I plan to keep my G2 for like one year or more. Don't really feel changing it anytime soon.
Would be nice to have a really functionality MM rom. I tested most roms, but the camera and sound are bad. The smoothness of the custom Roms are very good. So what to do? I think the Rom development stocks. I have to stay on stock Rom to have all working fine. But in future I see apps not working or very laggy working with the "old" LP Rom. So my experience in the past with my tab.

3 years here too. Not gonna make it much longer, the digitizer is going bad on the bottom left. Looking at the Pixel, but want to wait to make sure there are no manufacturing issues (like exploding) before I take the plunge. I have a Nexus 9, I'm not too confident in HTC's build quality after the problems I've had with it.

Same thought.
I have g2 from 1 year. I have the 16 gb variant. I must tell that maybe i need less lags, a microsd slot and a lot of more battery... But i must keep it for another year, i can't change it.
I'm thinking in get another phone just because 16gb isn't enough anymore.
If I could find some hack to expand this 16gb internal storage, I would do it.

Thats so true, realy no need for any new phone now, everything still works fluently.
Too bad Dorimanx and others already quit g2 developement and not much new developers
Second G2 here, the 32GB variety, I swapped out my first G2(16Gb) to the G3 hoping for all that upgrade coolness - nope, then the OnePlus1 - cheaper than the G3 etc, but the size started to bother me. So, I went back to the G2, I still have the 16GB first one which was battered close to death by my resident teenager so I picked up the second one very cheaply and would not swap it for anything. To my eyes and hands nothing made after it looks or handles much better, the G2 still has one of the best screen-to-size ratios - my favourite thing about it! I'm Running OrionOS MM, getting up to 5 hours screen time, LGCamera from the Playstore does a fair job of replacing the stock one, it even does 1080p @ 60fps. Of late the headphone socket has started acting up a bit .. off to Ebay for another 32Gb model, don't mind if I do!

No Oneplus 3 yet, I have this phone:
- G2 D802(32gb) bought new since 2013 I think
- G Pro2 32gb F350L, this device just similar to G2 but 5.9 inch screen, 3gb ram+sd card and much better sound from my experience.
- Htc one M8 32gb, this phone screen/speaker is good and performance is all right and reliable.
I have ordered Lg G4 (F500) it's coming in few days, so I will try it.
They are not new devices but with root and custom rom they still work quite good for me.
I think now you can get really good phone for $250-$400 with Xiaomi Mi5/5s, LeEco Pro2/3, Zuk Z2/Pro, Oneplus 3, Lg G5 so many choices. For speed I seen reviews Oneplus 3 is top dog, with new Huawei Honor8 5.2inch is good too if you like small phone.
For good multimedia/audio experience maybe Lenovo Vibe X3 cost less than ZTE Axzon 7 in my opinion.
by next year, our beloved G2 will have android nougat that too stable version , thanks to developers working all day and night.

Of late the headphone socket has started acting up a bit .. off to Ebay for another 32Gb model, don't mind if I do!

Could you give me a link to webcam app?
Let us know how you like the G4.
Have to agree with how many choices are available for 250-400!
So many good phones are out now

No Oneplus 3 yet, I have this phone:
- G2 D802(32gb) bought new since 2013 I think
- G Pro2 32gb F350L, this device just similar to G2 but 5.9 inch screen, 3gb ram+sd card and much better sound from my experience.
- Htc one M8 32gb, this phone screen/speaker is good and performance is all right and reliable.
I have ordered Lg G4 (F500) it's coming in few days, so I will try it.
They are not new devices but with root and custom rom they still work quite good for me.
I think now you can get really good phone for $250-$400 with Xiaomi Mi5/5s, LeEco Pro2/3, Zuk Z2/Pro, Oneplus 3, Lg G5 so many choices. For speed I seen reviews Oneplus 3 is top dog, with new Huawei Honor8 5.2inch is good too if you like small phone.
For good multimedia/audio experience maybe Lenovo Vibe X3 cost less than ZTE Axzon 7 in my opinion.

I just love my g2. Is there anything in the market similar ? After three years the main problems for me are scratched rear camera. Bluetooth needing reboots to work. And finally the constant need after rebooting to enter a code to change to 4g. Won't be changing it any time soon.

Sounds like custom ROM problems. Try sticking to LG based ROMs - if you already are, then try an LG kitkat ROM. 4.4 has always worked best for me.
