        Am I the only one experiencing this every year? LG tries hard every year telling what good things their things can do, how better their phone is on paper.. and then as always, it turns out very mediocre in reality and doesn't sell unless it's a Nexus device.

                      Nothing groundbreaking here, and with th no removable battery or expandable storage, not interested. At the end of the day, just another smartphone.

                        the screen is bigger, but uses virtual keys, with s4 using hardware keys, so actually, s4's screen is effectively bigger still. oops...

                                plastic is more good for your health than metal phone.

                                plastic reduces radiation from your phone and it has long lifespan durability over glass, or metallic phone.

                                  1080p video at 60fps and 32GB storage is genius.

                                  This autumn I be getting a Honami and a 128GB card, that's 144GB total, almost 5x more than G2.

                                    The device'hands on' shows its in near perfect ratio let's see its review I am interested in LTE 60fps video camera quality and last but not least price tag to convince me to prefer it over Samsung HTC Sony. Let's see.

                                        Anonymous, 07 Aug 2013plastic + plastic = plastic Wow, I couldn't care less really. Most of the front is made of display anyways and you rarely ever see the back of the phone. Plastic is better from a functional perspective than metal like aluminium and since I don't care that much of the looks of a phone (the G2 looks decent btw) I'd rather have a plastic one than an aliminium one that gets dents after a drop and microscratches after a few month of proper use (whereas plastic lasts years and can't get dents).
