LG G2 Double Unboxing: AT&T and Verizon Variants | Pocketnow

- We've already shown you what taking the LG G2 out of its packaging looks like, and we've long since pressed that review unit into service generating the features, comparisons, and full review you've anxiously awaited since we first laid hands on the G2 last month.
But it's one thing to unbox a device that's come straight from the manufacturer, and quite another to do the same with its carrier-branded variants. From branding to UI to bloatware to what comes bundled in the box, carriers hold a lot of sway when it comes to customizing their smartphones - and it's rare that we get to see those variants side by side in the same video.
Hence the purpose for today's exercise, which showcases the Verizon and AT&T versions of the G2 on the same desktop, alongside the global unlocked version from this morning's unboxing. We'll take you on a tour of all the subtle differences between these devices, pausing to soak in the minute details only the hardest-core of phone geeks care about - and then we'll prime you for the reviews and comparisons to come. Join us in this unusual LG G2 Verizon- & AT&T-edition "double unboxing," and then stay tuned for much more on the G2 in the days ahead!

Glad to have you along for the ride! Please be advised that our full reviews are all titled "Review." These unboxings serve a much narrower purpose than reviews or comparisons, which always follow the unboxing videos. ^MF
Stole the words right out of my mouth, but don't worry, Michael (this reviewer AKA the best) always has the most interesting and informative reviews.
Picked up the g2 from AT&T yesterday, is extremely nice to be able to use a 5.2 inch phone with one hand
The settings menu also varies between models. Verizon is somewhat standard vertical style, AT&T is grouped pages like the international variant.
I checked the gsm nation site and the listed G2 picture is actually a picture of the LG G Pro.
Hey Michael I noticed the home screen animations are different between the At&t and Verizon variants. I'm curious if those are exclusive animations or something that can be changed in the settings.
The bloatware doesn't really bother me since I put most of the apps I used daily on my home screens. But like Michael said when they need updated it DOESN'T STOP!
That was an entertaining unboxing. Wonder if any of the carrier versions will come with headphones.
I am excited. I ordered one at a art store on Saturday and I can't wait to use it
Michael, when will the LG G2 be officially released for sprint besides the fact with all the news with Pre-Ordering. & do you think Sprints Model will be more or less different than the other carriers?
Thanks for the info on the LG G2, Question does the LG G2 have notification lights?
I noticed that the international and at&t version have two speakers on the bottom while the verizon version only has one. Have you noticed any difference in how loud and clear the speakers are?
Great review . I have a 32gb global version, which operator case fits best?
Well, hopefully Michael will tell us how well it does in call quality (which is practically guaranteed he always does). This phone I need in my life!
I give props to AT&T for making the SIM key THE SHAPE OF A "G"
Very very good unboxing. I really enjoyed it, thank you.
Hey Pocketnow, are the back covers/batteries removable on either variant?
It can be changed in the settings on both models. There are about 5 or 6 different options.
Because you could get... dead. Bill board ad right there! Love the unboxing BTW :P
Hey Michael, Does it feel like the Verizon Logo can be scratched off? Lol. I would prefer the G2 over the Note 3 due to size differences but I hate the Logo on the front !
it's strange to see this....in the UK as far as I know the carriers dont really have any input to how the phone looks so they're pretty much always the same from carrier to carrier (apart form maybe a different colour back plate or something, but its rare) - but in the US it appears they do!
I know Verizon made changes to the phone and I believe it was to accommodate for wireless charging. The AT&T version doesn't have wireless charging I'm not sure about the global version though
Great Unboxing I was about to clown about my headphones as I saw a Unboxing with them.
Is the G2 coming to Sprint
Are you going to gets sprints version
I can't help but feel like the Verizon variant looks skinnier width wise from the back. Did they round it out a little bit or something?
The buttons don't look better either. I just don't really like Verizon's adjustments most of the time.
Now I'm curious what the Canadian carriers are gonna be like :\ can't see not much of a difference, but the verzion version (look wise) doesn't do it for me like the international or AT&T one, I am very tempted on buying this phone when it comes out but the no micro sd slot and non removable battery turnes me off a bit (damn koreans got removable battery and sd slot though*shakes fist* haha), but I'm excited for more info on it, it's not possible to buy the international version is it?
This might be my next device good god this is a gorgeous phone
Hey David does your at&t model have dual speakers?
Wait, did the At&t variant come with headphones?
I was just thinking the same thing! That is a huge plus.
What is the internal storage on the Verizon unit?? Thanks!
The buttons do indeed LOOK metal, but ARE they metal? I feel like they're akin to the faux metal trim on the Galaxy S4/Note 3. Am I right?
What's the reception and battery life like on the verizon version?
3:33 best feeling ever
The Verizon unit have the SIM slot at the right and the others at left?
What happened to the Gunnars?
Can the back covers be removed? If so can they be interchangeable?
Why do carriers in america always have to change the phone? Dosent happen in any other country
Nice unboxing and i agree with having a free headphone specially for a flagship smartphone
I have ATT what is diference ??
On the At&t version you can remove all the carrier the bloat if you like,go to menus hit icon delete yes it's gone way to go at&t for doing that.
"You could get dead" lol. I know the message is serious but that was a funny way to say it
Everyone should do this types of unboxing MORE here in the future.. especially Michael Fisher..
i got mine on sprint in white and theres a lot less branding only an lg logo on the front and a bigger one on the back
Fuck u George Zimmerman jk had to tho lol
I was a aditional microphone hole above camera on atat version, can you check that?
Does the Verizon g2 have the brightness and volume slider? Is the setting just off?
Which is the Variant that accepts sd-cards?
Nice video. Let's start a movement to get branding off Phones!! As well as Bloatware
Only in the US&A do you get bloatware, carrier logos and no headphones lol. Even in asia we get the the international unlocked version from our carriers.
Sprint version ?
its got dual speakers. smoothest phone I've ever used too.
32gb but you cant remove it. No earbuds and they took out LG dual stereo speakers that were supposed to be like 2watts ($199)on contract
was it real necessary to put the verizon logo on the front
Are all the phones the same initial size..???/?!!!
they should be
Wheres your yellow glasses?
AT&T version have an extra hole for mic or speaker above the LED on the back.
FYI, the Verizon version has a blue sticker on the camera. It is really silver.
Please tell me the nexus 5 will have the headphone jack on the bottom
Where is the 1020 vs iphone 5 vs g2 camera comparison??????
I think they had to change it in order to fit the wireless charging inside.
That'd be wonderful, but unfortunately these are all review units which will need to be returned. ^MF
Also the slacker radio is one of the best music apps, with better sound quality than pandora, and no earbuds is a good thing because people just throw away the crappy earbuds that come with a lot of phones and most people have better earbuds any way.
Difference between them plz !!!!
"It can wait, by the way, texting and driving is not a fun time because you. Could. Get. Dead." - 7:58
I think I may have laughed a little too much at that.
You forgot some plastic to remove on the sides of the phone and the blue on the camera ring was a plastic sticker that can be removed. But overall a great dual unboxing.
Great idea about a unboxing video, I like it!
ooh... i dont like the verizon version as much but thats the one im getting anyways lol. btw, the blue design around the lens is a sticker! :)
Are you using a new camera
Are 2 verizon logos really necessary?
The best part was removing the plastic
asmr
does the g2 have bbm ?
Plastic bag cover reaction: "sigh, this is yuck" Priceless!
@munro why would you need a fingerprint scanner? just because apple does something stupid doesnt mean others have to follow them
Verizon added wireless charging, I'll take a minor button change for wireless charging. As for the logos, don't really care I use cases to protect my devices, they also work well for covering up logos.
your new glasses = mine glasses :D
The clutter are the qslide apps just press the button and it gets cleaned up.
what a suprise that Verizon decided to change the back button size?!?!?!
The volume rocker on the Verizon version looks odd in a bad way. I think the at&t variant's volume rocker look the best.
Make sure you let them know that when Verizon changed those buttons, they made them too small, plus now you can't tell the difference between them on the Verizon model. I keep turning my phone off instead of changing the volume. Plus Verizon deleted the rear facing Mic. I love the phone, I just hate that Verizon messed with the design.
He's probably the best at what he does. Aaron from phone dog is good too....
The blue on the Verizon camera lens is a protective sticker that should be removed. The camera lens is actually silver haha.
Great unboxings!
Really thinking of getting this phone on Verizon in white. FYI: the ring around the camera is not blue on the back! its a blue sticker! lol
the camera ring is not blue it is just has a protecter on it that blue
that isn't a fucking plastic protector.
Nice video. Ahhh them earphones man so disappointing. Rather get the global edition.
Hahahahaha michael when he discovered verizon's customized volume buttons "ouh.. OUUUUH!"
I love the AT&T but what I don't like is the packaging. Why doesn't LG have their own packaging? HTC, Samsung and Apple do...
I love your glasses B-)
i dont mind having an embedded battery but they need to put a real battery in there to make up for it.
I like the Verizon the best?
Michael, your are gaining some weight, dont you?
Also, this new glasses are awesome! :D
I got the LG G2 for Verizon and its global unlocked
Very good inbox ing show
The camera ring is not blue, it's a sticker/ plastic wrap.
Verizon took out the amazing dual stereo speakers and put in a mini speaker in the bottom. Totally gutted it. Well it was to install wireless charging so I guess there is a trade off....I guess
The Wallpaper makes it look like the Screen is Cracked.
Hopefully. I'm more concerned about reception.
global version is very rich accesories than the other int. version
The "blue ring" around the camera is actually a sticker. Tge ring is not blue. Just fyi.
