    this review is unfair.. The note 2 is much older than the Optimus G Pro. A real comparison should be done with the S4 or a future note 3

      blazorax, 03 May 2013Hi All Quickly read through this and saw lots of comments ... moreLG OPTIMUS G Pro AT&T $199 minus trade in, =$99 plus tax. Note original, same deal. Note II ADD $100 plus tax. Bang for buck LG.Drip dead Gorgeous screen visible even with the sun over shoulder. Fast.Great battery life. Business ( for me) dependable. Best value overall LG. 'Nuff said.

            Hi All
            Quickly read through this and saw lots of comments about more plastic/less plastic ...

            To me I dont care if it plastic or not. What I do care is ... would the phone meet my requirement of my everyday use. i.e ease of use, surfweb well and easy to read, BATTERY LIFE .....

            How useful the phone would be to me if it got no battery capacity to meet my daily use?

            So in that sense, I would chose a Note 2.

            3 reasons:
            - Bang for buck. It is cheaper than the LG
            - It meet all my needs from a phablet i.e kindle apps, web browsing, watching movies, ring family once in a while.
            - got big enough battery capacity for all my videos, surfing throughout the day without having to carry extra battery pack.

                No matter what kind of brand you like, there is no need to speak ill of other brands. Because respecting others is the unique trait of human beings.(not animals)

                        Chances are this note 3 will have a 2Gig Ram 13mp camera/ and it will still maintain the s-pen! But yet Give a LG a break!!!

                          Whats all this talk about the shape of S3, oblong or not? Masculine or feminine. I have (call myself a man) an S3 and I couldn't be more satisfied.

                          Note 2 is older than Optimus G Pro so it figures it has an older chipset and somewhat worse screen, but believe it still rocks. Wait for Note 3, it should be a real cracker

                                      is more looks OBLONG than a rectangular shape
                                      And its pure shiny plastic...NO METALLIC WHAT SO EVER...

                                      Optimus G has METALLIC BORDERS and its really BEAUTIFUL DESIGN
                                      The FULL BLACK COLOR IS SUPERB.
                                      that is the reason it WON 2013 BEST iF DESIGN AWARD and other MOBILE 's Design awards...
