- On one corner we have one of the most powerful Android smartphones of the year, and in the other we have Apple's best iPhone ever, or so they say. This comparison is odd in its own way since LG is better known for their intense competition with Samsung, and not Apple. These devices are completely different in absolutely everything. Still, both sport the best cameras of their respective platforms, the best internals, and both even push the bar of design in their own unique way. Which of these devices is better suited for your needs? Let's find out in our iPhone 5S vs LG G2 comparison video.

God, I remember watching this back in 2013 as a kid, desperately wanting one of these for Christmas to replace my ancient iPhone 3GS. Amazing to see how far we’ve come in a decade from IPS displays and 8MP cameras to Super AMOLED 120Hz screens and 4K shooters
I just got an iPhone and i'm already really missing Android. Most of the people who switch from Android to iPhone say that they're never turning back, but I wanna turn back now :(
It's just way too small. I can't have any smaller than a 5" screen for a smartphone because I have big hands so typing and touching apps or websites is difficult on a small 4" screen that the shitty iphone has. I have t-mobile so I have to pay full price to upgrade so I gotta stick with my galaxy S3 and there's no phone that's worth upgrading to yet that's affordable. Might switch to sprint so I can get a free G2 and just sell my S3 for $200 or so.
***** The Nexus 5 is affordable and worth upgrading in my opinion, I came from a GSM Galaxy Nexus and absolutely love it. Oh and I'd stay on T-Mobile, their speeds are much better.
fuzzgrumpy its just not big enough to upgrade, same size as my s3 and i want bigger, at least the size of the note 2.
grumpyfuzz stay on T-Mobile!?!? Hahahahaha comparing it to what???? T-Mobile SUCKS man.
Kyle Hurd
T-mobile paid 2.5 billion dollars to share their network so by the end of this year all 2g areas will be 4g. Then will it suck? Not for $50 a month vs verizon being $110.
Well I have both the iPhone 5S and the LG G2 and I can honestly say that since the update of the G2, it has been on top. Everything runs smoother, the keyboard no longer twitches out, the battery life lasts even longer now (didn't think that was possible), and the overall performance pulls away from the 5S in comparable apps. The wife loves using the 5S but whenever I find her sitting down browsing the web for some clothes, she always seems to pick up my G2 instead of the 5S. She says that the larger screen helps with the viewing and the 5S dies too quickly to get much further than a few pages after she's done (usually 3-4 hours of browsing).
So my winner would have to be the LG G2 out of this little battle. Though I'd love to try out the Note 3 and see how that compares.
The battle between the iPhone and Lg G2 was quite obvious who'd win. But Note 3.... This is going to be a challenge.
Bungpor Veng And now the LG G3 has been released from its cage. Time for another comparison battle....
reshi pn I can agree to that. I've also noticed that the 3DMark scores were almost the same, only about 100 points better out of the G3 over the G2 with a 15k'ish score from the phone.
TheWolfMatt Try flashing a ROM to the G2. It'll be insane.
My 5s still runs smoothly in 2020 with ios12 (slow, but smooth and no lag) and can run every app available on the app store with no problem.
What about the lg tho?? Is it still good going in 2021?
Am I the only one that likes watching movies and videos on their phones? Because if you use the iphone you'll probably get cross-eyed.When will Apple learn? 4" ain't enough....The G2 wins 100% not questionable.
Not really i use my iphone 5s all the time to watch tv movies whatever else. No cross eye yet and its been a month sense iv looked at a Tv
Yes ur right the g2 us much better for watching movies and such
"4" ain't enough...." thats what she said ;)
Luke Demot Lol 😂😂😂
The G2 makes the iphone it's bitch
Lawl! (lawl means lol lawl is the sound of lol)
There's also that iPhone 5s is 600€ and Lg G2 is 300€ in my country. Who would choose the iPhone with double the price?
Mikko Haavisto That goes both ways. If you bought both phones when they were released you would get more for 5s if you wanted to sell it(which isn't even necessary because 5s is still better than most android phones and it's still the best phone for one handed use)
LightInTheNight1337 I would never buy a phone when it's released, because you get a lot better value for money with one year old flagships. That's also one reason why I would never buy an iPhone, they're never good value for money, because they don't sell old iPhones with competitive pricing.
I also think that Sony z3 compact is the best phone if you like small screens. A lot better battery life and water/dust proofness are some examples why it's better than 5s.
Mikko Haavisto So you buy Android phones because they are cheaper. I can understand that but I use my phone a lot and small things matter(better optimized apps, better camera performance, better physical design etc.). Also, waterproofness doesn't work for a lot of users which is really shitty of Sony because they are promoting their phone as 'waterproof'. Overheating issue is still there too.
The 4.2.2 update for the G2 turned it into a monster. 4.4 will make this phone ascend to an even higher level.
Could you be more specific? :)
Bertus van den Dikkenberg The G2 is a beast. Just got it yesterday. It's awesome.
Bertus van den Dikkenberg
4.4 uses less specs than older versions of android so everything will be even snappier.
Itaku I've officially named my G2 Link and every time they do an update for the phone, Link levels up.
and the camera of the LG G2 is awesome with kitkat, android will destroy ios thats for sure.
I got both. Although I use the G2 for my main phone out of the two but neither is my daily driver. But in the end if I had to choose I would choose the G2.
I ordered a G2, gonna arrive next week.
Can't wait!!The positive experiences i read from you guys makes me even more excited :)
Tony Salinas
Yup got it yesterday
It's an amazing phone indeed, love using the universal remote app to troll people
Gonna try that next week at school ;)
giramew I currently have the iphone 4, and I hate IOS! & apple products now, I'm getting my G2 on Tuesday and can not wait! I'm glad someone else who recently got it loved it! Makes me excited for mine!!
Enjoy the awesomness on Tuesday :) You will be blown away by the big beautiful screen!
i've just got mine and it's really great. but the screen is awful.. when im looking at bright colours, especially white, i can see fine translucent black lines everywhere and the whole screen looks somewhat like cross-section paper :( can anyone confirm this? (not talking about the digitizer or whatever it is you can see, when the screen is turned off)
your going to love it
better compare with G2 and 6s
I got the G2 and my dad the 5s, the G2 is way better than any phone out there in my opinion.
G2 is better than 6s, to me atleast
+ben owen nope
+ben owen g2 is 10 times cheaper, but still 10 times better hahahahahaha
+ben owen ahhahahaha why so mad mate
Prowler92NS. nawl u just talking now the lg g4 prolly better than it
A friend of mines was an iPhone guy, I never heard any complaints from him about his G2, not in the launcher, or anything. He basically said it's not hard to use, even though it has alot of features. I wouldn't call that LG launcher unreliable, it feels faster than using the Touchwiz launcher on the Note 3
I am watching this video today because i bought my 5s yesterday. As i work as a retailer i was able to get the 5s for 411 US dollars, with a dealer plan for 50 US dollars a month. 1 year subscription. I was going back and forth between the LG G2 and iPhone 5s, as the G2 would have been 100 US dollars, and same 50 per month. But in the end i went for the 5s, as i have always had iPhones since i was young, and basically my whole day is working around apple stuff. Mac, apple TV, iPhone and all the cables and everything. I admit the G2 is impressive, but for MY use, its too big, and i am VERY pleased with the 5s :) (Not an apple fanboy, just like the design and capabilities.. Suits my day-long use)
I see that you reordered this outside the USA. How are Non USA Networks? Speed Wise and call Wise? Compaired to the USA
Battery life is always overlooked,to me it's the most important feature of a phone I'm getting the G2
I have it and it's great, best phone I've ever had. I've had both IOS, Androidn and Windows phone. This kills all the phones, even my moms s4
Great Review.. I went with the LG G2 after being an Apple IOS user for the last 5 years i decided it was time for something new. I had originally tried out the S4 this past summer but i couldn't get use to it so i gave up on the Android idea. After reading reviews online about this new phone and playing with it at the store i decided to give android another shot - once month later i'm loving it still.. Yes the key is to ditch the LG launcher and go with Nova much better choice.
Sir, you have officially convinced another 5 year Iphone user to switch to Android's LG G2. I feel as if I am going to be very thankful in the future, so thankyou!
G2 is great I just don't like the design, that's not a killer for me but it would be nice for the manufacturer to try to design better
Dude, you said the iPhone took better photos clearly when you said while taking the photos the G2 did better. I also found you were very biased towards the iphone when it came to software and UI, when all of the stuff you said about nova launcher and stuff makes it better doesn't belong on a review/comparison. Sorry not a good video.
agreed
i own a iphone and i just dont get the hype about em , the lg g2 is way better than all the iphones out there
I have the Google Nexus 5 which has a 5 inch 1080p display. It makes the iPhone look like a toy. My aunt upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 leaving the iPhone 4. She says her new phone puts the iPhone to shame. The LG G2, Note 3, & Nexus 5 puts the iPhone to shame. I held on the the iPhone & I couldn't believe how small it was in my hand. Apple should add more size to the screen.
MrSeanw263 yea they should and on top of that they all look the same just a bunch of apps on the screen, the only i like bout the iphone is the camera
This is how reviews should be made... Neutral and honest!
I always enjoy this guy's reviews.
I could say that the iphone's battery is a little worse than stated here as a negative, but that's just a minor detail. Good work, keep it up. PS->...
Ps. I dont know if at the time of the review the lg's ui was not good, but at my present usage, it works great, no lags and no spelling mistakes.
In fact, using a clean android ui like the kit kat, made the phone feel "empty" missing things like knock on, remote control and quick memo which are things I got used to and now miss on devices that dont have them.
Plus I believe this ui is the first on android to support landscape mode (which looks great on this screen) out of the box. Plus changing the icons to whatever you want.
Come to think of it, this ui is great and its the first time (coming from samsung devices) that I dont need another launcher. This one is greatly customizable.
You can even change the transitions!!!!
Not to forget the built in task killer for things you dont want to be running in the background.
I'll stop here because the more I wright, the more I remember!!!
Obiviously g2 is better..
How do you get that clock widget on the LG G2. Is it the sense clock?
No matter how much you tell the iPhone users that any other phone is better, it's like they never even heard it.
please let me know the launcher and one another app that you have mentioned in this video fro G2...
going for g2?
Already gone man..... He He he
Who the fuck wastes their money on an iPhone.
Fools
Went with the g2. The larger display and battery are the killer features of the g2 in my opinion. I consume a ton of media through my phone, so the large screen and not having to worry about the battery life are really important to me.
I've used both, and they are great phones. If I had to choose one I would choose the iPhone 5s being that I switched from the G2 to the 5s. I base this on functionality and overall performance. It's no denying this A7 chip, it's an absolute beast. I really enjoyed the Snapdragon 800, but at times lag occurred followed by slight freezing.
I actually used a third party launcher, which speed things up, but the lag still occurred periodically.
Niral Ramesh that's true about the iPhone 5s stuttering at times. I periodically experience reboots when opening music apps, which I'm assuming a OTA update should rectify. Other than that, I have no other problems.
Niral Ramesh It because of android's Java based emulator
Very Impressive review. Have been watching tech reviews for over 5 years now and can't believe I've only stumbled onto this guy now. Totally clear, in depth explanations and awesome video shots. Jaime is a total pro!
Nice to see some Hispanics in the electronics community
*****
Can confirm. I'm not Hispanic but being multilingual is a great asset in a world where not everyone still has had access to, or interest in properly learning a global lingua franca.
nova luncher fix a lot of problems however i wish there is a way to change the icons looks
It's called icon packs
Very unlikely, but if LG starts doing what Motorola does and uses a slightly modified stock android over the optimus UI, their smartphones would be 10x better.
I do not agree with you, I really like the LG software, the phone can do awesome stuff with it.
Salpeteroxid same here, i have the G2 and its flawless
Tom Jobson
Mine is better than flawless, mine is so freakin' amazing I jizz my pants every time I touch it :D
Lol! I ordered the quick window case yesterday from amazon for 7 quid! My life is complete!! Im currently using the Spigen Slim armor (metal slate)
I would choose LG G2, Anyway to turn off unnecessary LG software features?
got the g2!
How do you screenshot with the G2 lol ?
I love my lg g2 it is the best phone I have ever owned. In my opinion I think that it is a thousand times better than the iPhone 5s, and yes I have owned the 5s for an extensive amount of time before coming back to android. I can pretty much gauruntee that you'll be happy with the lg g2 as long as you like android, but if you are switching from apple to android I would recommend the Motorola moto x. I have no complaints about the g2.
The iPhone 5S came out last month, and you "owned the 5S for an extensive ammount of time before coming back to Android". Troll please, go back to your cave.
Joaquim Pla
i agree
i mean i prefer the G2 over the iphone because of the size and battery
however there is no reason to lie like that dumbass
car9melo how is any of that a lie. I used the iPhone 5s as soon as it came out almost two months ago. I just got my g2 back about 4 days ago.
Joaquim Pla the iPhone 5s came out almost two months ago and I just got my g2 back 4 days ago, I got the 5s as soon as it came out but I really didn't like it. I am not biased I Just like the g2 more I even own the iPad air because Apple makes great tablets.
What clock widget is that on the lg g2?
There is no comparison.The LG G2 is just too much of a beast.The iPhone 5s freezes at times and not as smooth as the LG G2.The LG G2 is like the next NEXUS phone.I would say the LG G2 is the winner no doubt.
I have none of those problems with my iphone 5s
Hi! I noticed you had a baconreader widget, and seeing as baconreader is the main reason for me buying an LG G2, how does it do? Does baconreader take advantage of the resolution to display as much text as possible? Thanks again!
Andriod even with there new ios7 is still boring I like to pimp out my note3 I mean everything keyboard wallpaper icons ring tons notification back around text board keyboard color
There're so many things wrong with this comment.
Lilith Rises It's wrong to the core.
I have the Galaxy S4 t-mobile variant and I must say with some developer tweaks to remove transitions the device is much snappier. Touchwhiz seemed to release the hold it had on my phone lol. Battery life is of concern though esp when on 4G, I would love the battery life of the LG G2. One question, how is the size comparison between the G2 and the S4?
I had the Iphone 4s for 2 years now and loved it (especially siri) I was planning on getting the Iphone 6 or wait for the 6s, but my other half lost there phone and we had to get a new one... Well since I was there at the ATT store I was looking at this phone and new it was bad ass... I was compeled to get it as I got the 18 month plan and the phone was free for me to get (drool) So my impulse said ok... Driving home I was like oh shit there's no siri (I do use it a lot for any info) Well I must say is this phone is beautiful the screen alone (drool) the hardware specs (awsome) I will miss my iphone's simple easy to use and reliable interface (looking to get the 6s if they get a bigger screen) but I really like this G2 I just hate they get outdated by lets say samsung S5 comming next month I think.... Well cant go wrong with either brand or company....
Lol I'm pretty sure the G2 is still as poweful as the S5, nothing to worry about. You won't feel a difference for newer devices for the close year or so. Only software will be different, hardware will be very similliar.
And instead of Siri, you got Google Now :)
lg also have q voice. is it good
Love the month calendar widget you were using on the G2. Could you tell me what widget it was? Thanks. Loving my G2.
iPhone is better overall.
btw what about that fingerprint thing when you cut your finger or sthn, do other fingers work aswell ? or do i have to hook it up to the PC first
i got lg g2!!
What is the name of that weather and clock widget on the LG G2?
Please someone help me out!
Lg g2
No custom launcher we are comparing how the phone comes out da box u might as well jailbreak the iphone
I still think apple is overpriced junk and I like my big nicer screens and better camras then Android software is so much better then ovecourse I like customization and ya it gets viruses washer but if you ever do it is any easy fix ( not that your going to have to worry about viruses unless you get outdated so far behind Android KitKat 4 )
+ben owen keeps value ya but it is just the brand it's a passion item if you buy apple
how can you watch HD videos on the TH-cam app in iPhone 5s?
apple > lg
Do you mean apple is bigger shit than LG
See but you have to jailbreak for those features. All Android users have to do is install what ever app they want. And as far as the polished look goes, why would they care about that if many people get 3rd party launchers anyways? these don't require root or flashing roms. And if you want to really get into it, jailbreaking an iphone doesn't come close to rooting an android. You basically unlock both of the phones, but there will never be roms to get for an iPhone unless someone steals the OS.
LG G2 UI Sucks
I went with the G2, after having an iPhone it does take sometime to get use to having a phone that the user is able to customized almost every aspect of your smartphone. Very happy!
that is just your opinion. For me, i have tried a bigger screen (sgs3) and it was just TOO BIG. found it uncomfortable to hold with one hand which makes is fatiging during long phone calls. also navigation is very difficult with 1 hand.
If everything you said its true that "ALL" people need bigger screens then why did samsung and htc make "mini" phones. Clearly as you say there is no demand for them.
Did you install iBrate to go with your one handed use?
Wise and rational man!
Came from the S4 and Iphone 5. Bought the G2 in white and sold both my S4 and Iphone 5. I don't regret making this move. To be honest though the G2 looks crap in videos and pictures, when I tried it in person, that's when I thought to myself ' HOLY SH**!.
The edge-to-edge 1080p display is just drop dead gorgeous! Once you get used to the rear buttons, it'll make life so much easier. No worrying about charging it, the G2 lasts me 2 full days on heavy use. The perfect phone.
I think it's the other way around. In Android's settings for example, you have everything neatly organized and you can search for any settings you need to find. On iOS there's a bunch of different sub-categories for adjustments and tweaks. Also, with iOS devices you only get the home button so you have to go to different areas of settings to change something you can change on Android simply by hitting the Menu button which most phones have. I consider myself good with tech and I get lost in iOS
RETINA is a just a marketing term for LCD panels with a high pixel density. The current RETINA panels are made by LG and Samsung.
Current Android Phones like the LG G2, S4 and the HTC One all have a higher pixle density than any apple product on the markte today.
You can check that via wikipedia if you want to.
Bought this 2 devices on the same year 2014. My lg g2 completely dead,cant turn on anymore and also stuck in android 5 lollipop. Meanwhile my iphone 5s still can be used right now juz changing the battery once.Got update to ios 12 and just recently got update to ios 12.4.6. Ios 12 still good and I believe my iphone 5s still usable at least 2 years more.So my conclusion, iphone 5s is better in a long run
Whats the name of this clock widget on g2?
Mimo tego nie przebije sense v2
Hola Jaime porque no haces los videos tambien en español?
They say you should not look at specs or benchmarks but judge performance based on how the phone performs in real life. However, when I use thee iPhone I notice that it is slow. When you perform a race between e.g. an iphone 5 and an Xperia Z to perform some task, the iPhone is much slower. For example, when you click on an app, it takes much longer to actually get into the app whereas the Xperia would just zip into it immediately. They say this delay is cause by animations on iphones
that depends on what you started with, i know android like the back of my hand, but it took me forever to just find the settings (at first, due to me not knowing that it was in the app selection). also, the lag difference is hardly noticeable.
I've had the LG G2 for about 3 months now!!!
but it still shows that there is a demand for such devices. Remember the disappointment of the low end specs of the announced s3 mini and s4 mini. People were expecting and wanting a high end small phone from android oems.
Besides the original argument was that small screens were a "compromise". I'd rather think of them as in differnt markets just like an ultrabook vs a full tower pc. an ultrabook isn't a compromised pc because they have completely different usage intentions.
I want a larger screen. Should I make the switch to the note 3 or stay with the apple and get the 5s?
You didn't even mention the most important things and if you did not vary well so i will help you out. The Iphone 5S has a screen resolution of 1136x640 which is lower than 720p and it has 326 PPI/pixels per inch. now for the camera it has an 8 megapixels camera. It also runs a much out dated Chipset and because of that lacks alot of great features. Although you couldn't utilize those features anyway because of apples OS and there strict store regulations. You would basically need to root your phone and probably run some kind of Linux distro to really utilize anything. I would probably do this since iOS is based on OS X which is itself a variant of a BSD UNIX kernel running on top of a micro kernel called Mach. Node.js is relatively simple to compile on this platform but iOS is designed to run only application packages so you'd have to include it in an app context and it would be arbitrarily suspended or killed by iOS. So my point being is its not really a great idea to use IOS period. Now for the LG G2's Specs. The LGG2 has a5.2 inch 1920x1080p display with 424 ppi pixels per inch. so for a comparison the iphone 5s has 326ppi and the LGG2 has 424PPI. the higher the number the better. the camera is a 13 megapixels 4160 x 3120 pixels auto focus optical image stabilization, LED flash. I don't even need to compare this since the iphones hardware is basically a generation or maybe even 2 generations behind. Heres the sad part there are phones on the market right now. Like the LGG3 which have a 530ppi screen with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 which is higher than 1920x1080p and the Iphone 5S has a screen resolution thats under 720p. This would be okay with me if Apple wasn't trying to say/sell these devices as flag ship devices. I'm okay with phones being on the market that have low end specs but they need to be priced accordingly. For Example you cant sell a flip phone for 300$. A flip phone is 18$ at Walmart right now and should be free with any two year contract. The i phone with a 2 year contract should be 100$ at most with its current hardware. I currently have the note 3 but the LGG3 is probably the best phone on the market right now. The note 4 will be soon though...
+DarkX617821 LOL that's all you got from this? MP don't matter lol. You need to run and go waist your money on an IPhone right now lol. The screen on the LGG2 is better than the iPhone 5S, iphone 6 and technically the IPhone 6 Plus because the PPI pixels per inch is higher on the LGG2 even though the resolution of the iphone6plus is the same as the LGG2. That being said even if the cameras better on the iPhone 5S, which it's not. knowing that info. hypothetically if the iPhone5s took better pictures than the LGG2. the pictures taken on the LGG2 would look better on the phone because the screen on the LGG2 has more pixels/ a higher resolution. Taking that even further to see the pictures on the LGG2 in its best quality you would have to have a 4k monitor/screen. With the iphone6plus or any other iPhone we don't even have that variable. Meaning that the camera on the LGG2 is better than any iPhone including the iPhone 6 Plus. Your comments true pixels don't always matter, but in this scenario that statement doesn't apply at all
haz mejorado desde la ultima vez que te vi, no se si ya estas en usa o es que ahora el apoyo tecnico que te brinda pocketnow es mejor que antes, te escuchas mas informado y profesional que antes, bien por ti. nice review.
what would you describe the iphone screen as? is it 720p or what?
if you buy the lg g2 before the update comes the update for download?
I got iPhone 5S 32GB gold, sold in the 3rd day. Got the LG G2, and keeping it. No iPhone anymore.... LG G2 is very good !!!
Went back to iPhone with iOS 7 and the iPhone 5S. Android is fantastic, but Plex combined with Airplay just suits my needs better and the browser performance is incredible on the 5S. Both platforms kick butt which is why I bounce back and forth.
just curious, what was ever the point of NFC. Never found it to be that amazing. Sharing files between phones have much more elegant solution (even i think apple's implementation of wifi direct is better). And I don't see how NFC payments are any more convenient than paypass.
If anything, tags are a really cool tech, but it could be achieved with rfid tags of all things, a much cheaper and passive tech.
Michael Fisher, please come back and again a good comparison between the Iphone 5s and the Lg G2. Than u.
G2 all the way! I've had the iPhone and I'm so glad I made the switch I'm why people like the iPhone so much you can really do anything without jailbreaking it I guess it's more for people who don't like to customize or don't like the special features an android can give
i just recently bought the lg g2 and i do like the phone and the screen and camera but i miss the ease and compatibility of having a mac connected with it, i have another week to decide if i want to keep it or trade it in for the 5s
It would be so cool if the power button on the back of the G2 doubled as a finger print scanner...
Tabbed settings actually came first on the LG Optimus G not Samsung. Minor mistake but as a reviewer you should know better.
Thanks for the review! Price and features led me to buy LG G2! Super nice!
Just look at the way you use the G2. 5 pages in 1 second.
Now look at the iPhone part... You'll have to wait until the transition finishes.
IMO iPhones are waayy to expensive. I was an iOS freak tho. They were on point. I liked that. Then iOS 7 showed me the way to a paradise called HTC One. lol
I also loved Lumia 520. I got it just to see hoe Windows Phones work and lemme tell ya... Grrrreat experience for an unreal small price. It's just... Old school with nowadays features.
I have the G2 & the stock processor works very well with me. I previously owned the Optimus LG9 but the memory became too insufficient too fast.
hi,, what is the name of you clock widget? thanks
My dad has an 5S which I've also used for a little, and for those who prefer a smaller screen and for whom an Apple experience really matters, it's a pretty safe bet. The 64-bit processing in it which I rarely see mentioned may also open doors to faster performance in the future when apps get optimised for it. It _massacres_ benchmarks.
That said, I went for the G2 myself. The screen is _amazing_, the battery life is still better, and as a power user of technology I prefer the customisability of Android over iOS. And that's coming from someone who only uses a fraction of the tuning capability of the system; I know there are people who'd consider my meagre tinkering very vanilla. And while the G2 loses to 5S in benchmarks, I'd say it wins in utility, since it has a larger screen and a more flexible OS to take advantage of the (still amazing) specs it _has_. The 5S's power feels...restricted in its smaller stature and locked-down UI.
Oh, and the G2 came at 65% of the price of the 5S to me in northern Europe, so there's that too. iPhones are very pricey.
Good video and comparison, thx. Hope the Nexus 5 will be like the G2 but a little smaller. I'd sell my 5s then, even though it seems to be a great phone itself, too
I've been using the G2 for 3 weeks now and I've switched from iphone. I absolutely love the camera on the G2, and a lot of LG's features, but really do miss iOS simplicity. You could customize an android more than an iphone but for the most part it is tacky and unnecessary. If I had to pick I'd still pick my G2 because it has, for me, the best display of any phone right now and great battery life and an amazing camera.
download link for the sense clock widget please? :)
Using G2 currently!
I own the G2 and am very pleased. I can't judge it against an iphone because i have never owned one.
Hey Guys! Which one you recommend me for taking best pictures for Ebay.
where can you find a 4¨screen in a small vessel other than I5s.... mmm in the I5
love the LG G2! I used to have an iphone but changed to an android. With the LG G2, it's faster, screen is larger, battery lasts longer, and snapdragon 800! I only need to charge it once and the battery lasts for two days. Definitely get the LG G2!
the OS on the G2 doesn't bother me. its really easy to install a rom or just download a launcher like he said.
You should compare 2 devices that came out around the same date.
When will they stop making such a big phone? I want a 4.5" variant with top of the line specs, no stripped down like the s3 mini or the htc one mini
Space and Forest, how can you compare?
Very informative and well done video comparison of these 2 phones! Thank you! I chose the iPhone 5S but I almost took home the LG G2. The store was out of those. I was going to switch it out and try the G2 anyway but after watching your video, I'm sticking with my little buddy here :-) Now to get my bf to switch.... :-/
I know, i was talking about the size, and the small bezel.
I dont get why people say they can get two days on the G2 battery. I own it, and honestly it's good...but by around 6-7 pm after waking up at 7am, my battery will be at 30% if I'm lucky. I find that games will drain about 1% every two minutes or so. I don't know how all these reviewers claim they are "power/heavy users" and get 2 days of life. I usually find that I drop to about 30% or less by 6 or 7 pm. N that is with moderate usage.
i had iphone 5s and i changed it with LG G2 and i.can really say that LG G2 isawesome its same size like iphone 6 and its powerful ,also,battery is amazing i said Wow these days andorid is more useful but the screen is superb i love it and the back buttons is really useful at the back waiting for g4 to buy it but, the keyboard of lg is bad the spacebar is so small and always put (,) after word
