16 September 2013
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is the Android flagship to beat based on sheer sales, but the LG G2 one ups it in just about every way possible. Two South Korean neighbors and bitter rivals are once again standing in each other’s way, and for us, users, choosing a...

      Anyways we know S4 is not at all a match for G2 ( just like Note2 with GPRo and S3 with OptimusG/nexus4)

      can imagine what LG will introduce in G-PRO2 .. no doubt it will be unique

G2 has longer web browsing time, admit it you will use your smartphone mainly for web browsing, it's camera has OIS, it's 5.2" screen with a compact size similar to S4 is a stunning, and so on and so forth...

Its 20.7 MP camera with no OIS is useless, and its 3000 mah battery is miles behind G2. And the ninja square edge design is far from being ergonomic. So u need to be aware how u will deeply regret Z1 when you feel how uncomfortable it is with one hand. But I am waiting for Xperia Z3(2015) when Sony learned from LG how to have an edge-to-edge stunning display and 12 hrs web browsing time and is very comfortable with one hand.

                Body, 17 Sep 2013LG is totally copying TouchwizTouchwiz copied IOS and android defaults ..
                So why are you concentrating on touchwiz .. atleast LG dont have S-LAG and no need to switch off animations for removing S-LAG.

                From past 1.5 year LG have optimus-UI .. if you saw earlier LG feature phones u may say it got copied from ther .. only thing is you have only seen your S-LAG phone .. so you will feel everything got copied from there

                      all of it come to pricing imo.
                      in my country, 32 GB LG G2 come around 50euro cheaper than 16Gb SGS4, and we got another 50euro cashback, a bluetooth headset (worth around 70euro according to advertisement), and online shop voucher worth around 70 euro. With that pricing i'm sure G2 have a slight advantage here.

                      P.S: I live in indonesia, SGS4 selling at IDR7,499,000 meanwhile G2 selling at IDR6,799,000. On pre-order we got IDR700,000 cashback + Bluetooth Handsfree LG HBS-730 Worth IDR1,000,000 according to the ads + Online Shop Voucher worth IDR1,000,000.
                      >1 Euro = ~IDR15,000 atm.

                            AnonD-134497, 16 Sep 2013The worst draw backs for G2 are: * No expendable storage.... morewhat a stupid comparison, the LG g2 is also made from glossy polycarbonate, the same as S4 yet its only disadvantage for S4?

                            octa and snapdragon S4 users will be dissapointed? why? because snap800 version is only available in korea?

                            How will soo many variants affect your feeling? Because i can assure you those variants are made for other markets, you will not see all those variants at your store. Are you that nerdy that when another variant is out for your phone, your gonna cry about it and tell the whole world how disappointed you are that your phone doesn't feel special?

                            how old are you? LOL

                              i hate the way sony release their flagshp .too early, as well as lg for releasing it late. they should release flagshps at same time. so they will be comparable to each other. :3

                                  Expandable storage and replaceable battery gives automatic win for the S4 for me.

                                      Referring to your review on cost. In Indonesia, the 32GB LG G2 retails for IDR 6.799.000 and the 16GB S4 retails for IDR 6.999.000. So G2 costs less and has better specs than S4.

                                        I'm not an LG fan boy but this is a biased comparison, how can you describe the AMOLED screen of being an advantage over the IPS LCD without looking at people's preferences and needs.
                                        LOTS of people out there can't stand AMOLED screens because they irritate the eyes, I can't stand half an hour of full brightness on them. So the MAIN reason for buying an LG2 for me is because it's the closest to the S4 with actually a decent screen instead of those cheap AMOLEDs.
                                        One thing you may like others may dislike, that's life, accept it and stop being biased.
