      From LG G2 review ubergizmo

      "The other thing that should not be underestimated is LG’s progress in software and product planning. 18 months ago, few people would have believed that LG would be where it is now. This has gone under the radar, but when I was in Korea, I found out that LG had invested enormously in software engineering since, and it shows: just like with the G Pro, the LG G2 user interface is nearly always fast and fluid. This is arguably the most important difference if you want to compare it with the Galaxy S4.:"

LG came up with this with their value pack upgrade after the S4 launch. You know one thing, Value pack upgrade is an exact copy of Samsung's premium suite. Google for more information.

              [deleted post]What is the difference 4.1.2 4.2.2 4.3 On your GS4?
              Is there any useful feature (not gimmick) who make it difference?

              I own phone with 4.3 and 4.1.2 and nothing new and difference. And in real life usage you will not notice the difference, except higher number.

                      Z1 is ugly. XZ or ZU is good
                      But Z1 ugly, Bezel and too many wasted space is reason.

                          Overcome the 2 negatives and get the G2 F320 (Korean G2 version)It has a replaceable battery and 32GB (24GB user) + support for 64GB microsd cards. Problem solved. You only loos about 15% battery life over the 3000Mah so its really win win with the Korean F320 models that are for sale on eBay.

                            wow After reading the review i`m really disappointed about the volumes of the loudspeaker, although it has excellent hardware performance lets not forget that after all this is a PHONE, and if it has low volume performance on the loudspeaker everything else is pointless... :(

                                Plastic phone is better for your health than a phone made of almost entirely metal or glass.

                                Be aware of Electronic Magnetic Radiation from your phone.

                                And a plastic phone can last more years compare to a metallic or glass phone.
