LG G2 review: Beautiful monster

07 September 2013
While other companies were bracing for war at the IFA 2013 expo and lining up their latest phablets, LG is getting ready to launch the G2 flagship. The Korean manufacturer did a few cool tricks to promote the beast, like shooting the Earth from the...

I went to the comments to see what excuses Samsung's fanboys were trying to find to save the GS4, and what do I read? The cartoon theme! LOL!

          LG are frequently underestimted in the technology world including the smartphone market. This is unfortunate as they have over thw years produced many innovative devices. Their LG KU990 Viewty was launched as one of the world's first touchscreen devices for the mainstream market not running windows which also incorporated a Xenon flash on its camera. Their LG KP750 Secret set new standards for build quality and their Optimus G offering is clearly high end. The G2 should fly off the shelves.

            Just like G Pro.
            About camera, it's not that bad, you can see here.

            About cartoonish UI, it's just theme.
            You can change the theme, and each theme have own icon pack. More than 10 Theme available for Optimus UI. Just like this for sample

                AnonD-106654, 08 Sep 2013You can't compare gs4 with the optimus G! 2012 flagship and... moreby seeing your name only one can say that you are going to bash Samsung.
                The phone which gets released later is always supposed to be better. don't see it as 2012 or 2013 but see it as s4 released 6 months after optimus g and g2 released 5- 6 months after s4. g2 is of course Supposed to be better. I am not a Samsung fanboy and I loathe touchwiz because it's too heavy. but other than touchwiz s4 is almost perfect phone.

                The epic battle of the year: lg g2 vs xperia z1 vs galaxy s4.

                lg g2: great battery life, processor and button placement. Also very fast ui.

                z1: great camera, processor, design, waterproof, sd card and very professional looking and good ui.

                s4: thinnest, smallest and lightest still packing removable battery, microsd slot, great loudness and music performance. Very feature rich ui. and neatly oriented.

                cons: g2: glossy plastic, loudspeaker, autofocus issues, camera worse than s4 (still camera. see gsmarena's compare tool), quiet music output, slow update cycle, cartoony ui(looks even worse than touchwiz)

                s4: laggy ui(slightly but feels slower compared to g2 or z ultra), glossy plastic as well as boring design, fm radio(minor con)

                z1: can't say anything much but too big and heavy, speaker will not be good( expectation) , very featureless ui

                                      Horrible ui, awkward eccentric ergonomics, full of gimmicks, simply a bad copy of samsung crap, like that wasnt bad enough already.

                                      Still, great cam, really, unfortunately its ruined by the video focus issues, LG already proved that they cant/wont fix that. And, the cam isnt gonna stand up to Z1.

                                      Then software updates, dont buy an LG before they upgraded G Pro to 4.3, this time i think its fair that LG is forced to prove that they has improved.

                                      Not that its gonna matter, it will not be available for a long long time, even G Pro is not yet available here, believe it or not.
