My sister had it. U had a brother with the G3, absolutely loved his phone too, and I myself bought the G4. Frankly an awesome phone. I wish I could have it with an actualized processor, a bit more ram and a bigger battery. Pretty happy with its camera module, even today.
The back volume buttons along with the ability to use the phone as a TV remote are what made me choose it all those years ago. I miss this and the G4 phones so much!
@@aleccino I'm still using my g4 (alongside a Huawei mate 10 pro), it has an insane handling experience, (the button on back and it curved shape help a lot). Haven't seen better since then in that area.
Im about to buy one For the 6th time Why 6th Time ? You might ask Well… Stolen in an alley Lost in a road trip Destroyed in a car crash Sold to my aunt And Destroyed By Gunshots Is Your Answer Good Sir 😁
came here after the news about LG shutting down its mobile phone division :( this G2 is LEGENDARY! Love absolutely everything about it, so proud that I owned one.
You think his reviews are lengthy? Check out Erica Griffin, her reviews usually run 50 minutes plus, but they're the best reviews on TH-cam in my opinion.
bulldog521521 she does great indepth reviews and when I'm thinking of spending so much on a phone (like the note 3) it's great to get the detail (I decided not to get a note 3 because of several of the issues she identified). However, I also like having the short versions that Marques does. Good to have both!
I have been with apple for more than 5 years. Thought I would never leave my iPhone. But ordered this phone last Friday and had the weekend to play around with it. And my gosh, I LOVE this phone! So much to do as far as customization! Apple will have to come out with something extravagant to win me back over because right now i'm on cloud 9! Love my new g2! =)
I don't know after reading lot of new LG G2 owners complaining about their phone after the Kitkat update. That's the only reason I'm holding off to purchasing this phone. I think I should have gotten the HTC One(M7). That phone is a year old and it's SOLD OUT on Verizon. I have to wait for a month to receive it if I purchased it.
I have an iPhone and I don't think I'll ever sell it cause it's as good as it was in the beginning... with the exception of the overly hyped 7.1.1 iOS.
Don't listen to the Iphone fanboys. My wife just got an LG G2 and she loves it. This is her 3rd Android phone. We're jumping ship from Motorolas to LGs.
It's like most phones, it has it's pro's and con's. I took a video on the LG of my son's wedding and it's nowhere to be found on my phone. Very pissed about that!!!!!!!!!
I love my G2 as well. I had the Nexus 5 for a few days then returned it for the the G2, the G2 has far better battery life and a joy to use. Very fast, no lag what so ever! Some people fuss over the UI, sure its not as clean as the nexus 5 but it works fine, customize your screens and enjoy, whats the problem?
Buy it but don't upgrade. You will lose those widgets apps on your lockscreen if you like them. On lollipop, its okay but it won't do anything unless you unlock your phone.
Yes you can,, i bought one 4 months ago,, gave my Sgs5 to my wife, and use this device daily,, i flashed Cyanogemod 12 on it,, runs like a beast,, crazy battery life, extremly fast,, friends a family with new phones are a bit jeaulous of the battery life and performance,, there is still a generation away from defeating this phone in performance and battery life,, im waiting for the next lg g5 or galaxy s7 to replace my lg g2 till now im happy with this phone, 06/08/15' ;)
I still dont understand why people feel that the UI of LG G2 is not good..!! I own LG G2 and i feel that LG is the only brand which has modified the stock android UI in the best way possible !! I just love the UI of LG G2 , its really useful and user friendly..
This phone started the attempts at shrinking bezels. Then people forgot about it for 2 years (even LG with G4 and G5...) and then it started to be the greatest thing.
This video is a good example of how young and naive mkbhd is. He gives the g2 no credit at all, just talks about nexus devices the entire video as if the nexus is a superior phone just because it runs stock android. The G2 was and still is an amazing phone and now that it is running lollipop it should be widely recommended to everyone, especially that you can get one brand new unlocked for under 200 bucks.
He's comparing it to the nexus because lg was co making the nexus at the time and no doubt it's still better than the nexus 5 in speed and benchmark but it would seem throttled down because of lg heavy ui. but put a custom rom on it, it'll crush the nexus 5
Still using this in 2018! Sold wireless phones in 2016/17 and could've upgraded easily/cheaply. Haven't found a new phone that had enough to warrant paying for a replacement. Still screams and battery's probably 70% capacity. GREAT phone!!
what about the 1080p 60fps? knock on? q-slide? answer call by placing phone to ear?....and lots more features? also surprised you rated note 3 camera better than G2 in another recent article about best mobile cameras...very puzzled how you came to the conclusion it was better due to 4k video....lol
Gregory Perkins Hey I just ordered a white one, I've been using an Xperia Z with 5" screen. I wanted a bigger screen . If I like the LG2 when i get it I'll sell the Xperia Z on Ebay. Its a kick-ass phone but my eyes aren't that good and 5" is just a hair small.
I used the Xperia Z for 7 months. Beautiful screen, good camera And it felt like a high end phone. I did have some trouble with it as far as software issues, etc. It was realy buggy for the last month I had it. This G2 I have now, I like it a lot. Its fast Phone calls are awesome, screein is bright. They are both great phones.
2023 and this phone is one of the Best from all time, a lot of things from this phone change the actual phones as they are today. Still have 2 working and in perfect conditios, Black and White model.
Just came back to this phone in wait for my Galaxy S10 since my Galaxy S8 just broke and i gotta say this phone Lg G2 is a gem, probably one of the best phones ever made.. Im honestly amazed.
The reason i don't like this review you kept talking about the nexus . nobody gives a fuck about the nexus we came for the g2 , you talked more about the nexus then the g2
Best buy sells this for 200 bucks atm. Just got mine 2 days ago. Exellent phone :P. It's a verizon version, but i'm using it on a tmobile network haha.
elchamber Iphone now cost close to 900 bucks. This is a 200 dollars smartphone that's faster than samsung galaxy s5. Cant really complain about this heh.
Brian Dang so you bought it for $200. And its a Verizon version but how are you using it for T-Mobile? I've been looking for this phone but sadly they don't have it on a T-Mobile store anymore
Everything_ is_Awesome Three steps process when you get this phone. First, you need to get out of the activation screen(volume up, down, and menu). Then you need to go to mobile network and change the system select from CDMA to GLOBAL. Third, you need to change the APN setting for it. Google the tmobile LTE APN setting.
Joshua Duarte G4 is also a good phone but I dislike it's shape, it's sharper edges and the mediocre snapdragon 808 inside it (that wasn't LG's fault because qualcom f*cked up with their snapdragon 810) LG G2 is still the best phone that LG made to date.
I like the idea of buttons on back of the phone. It looks like new generations of phones with no buttons, and the unlock way of phone tapping twice on the screen is just brilliant. Pretty cool dont you think?
+James Neilson Hey, I've been trying to install a Rom on my G2 but haven't been able find out how, could you please point me in the right direction? I already rooted by the way. I am running 5.0.2
previously on many other android phones low mid to end.... now I bought a used G2 for 100usd(myr)... the battery life was mediocre, solution: flashed CM14.1/crdroid..... the camera app isnt good....download the camera mod for 7.0.... now its okay
I feel like LG read my mind before making this phone and I gotta tell you they almost nailed it. It is a phone that was given strict instruction not to interfere with your life. Meaningful features that make you wonder if the other guys even care about what you want. Excellent battery, superb camera, splendid display, great camera, good sound (earphones), knock to turn on and off, TV remote, Snapdragon 800, handwriting screen note, multitasking that actually works, answer pop up incoming calls without leaving your page, I mean I can go on and on. If this phone was made by Apple or Samsung it would have been flying off the shelves. But name recognition could be a reason this phone might still struggle for now. I know a quality phone when I see one.
The new kitkat update really did great things for this phone. Fixed the ugly notification bar, the skin looks cleaner all around, and the settings and overall speed were improved dramatically.
its not too far away from having phones without any buttons at all, its all a big touch screen that curved around the phone, you can adjust the side, up, bottom and back buttons, you can move them around, add more, change, cancel, adjust anything about your phone... even its color. its already here, just wating for the model to come out... if not at 2014 then on 2015 tops
I doubt you'd see this on such an old video.. but I came across a list, of all the videos that I have ever liked.... this was number 1! Funny... I had no idea who you were... or how big you'd become. I ended up buying this phone because of you... and it is still to this day, one of my favorite phones, I've ever had! It really was pretty good, and the camera, back then, really was that fantastic! It sits in a drawer now, but I do still have it. oh yeah! And I actually kinda miss the buttons on the back... I mean... your finger, it sits right there!!
I had the S4 and now the G2 for me the G2 is a better phone than the S4, insane battery life nicer design love the edge to edge screen and no UI large unlike on the S4
+1 who is watching this in 2020. I still have my own LG G2 and still works! A bit lag but that's ok for a 7 year old smartphone. Thanks Marques Brownlee for the recomendation! Great smartphone. I wish there were such good smartphones in 2020 in that price.
Tell you what. I love my S3 and have been loyal to it for years now. I skipped the S4 because there didn't seem to be enough innovation between my S3 and itself. Now the S5 came out and I feel the exact same way I did a year ago. Seeing this video and knowing the LG G3 is very close to launch, I have to say I might honestly make the switch......
I thought I'd give my experience after owning the G2 for 5 months now. After 5 months of heavy use, the phone is still very fast. It boots in seconds and is quite stable. The recent KitKat update improved greatly the overall feel of refinement when using the phone daily. Battery life lasts for me all day with moderate calling use and heavy document viewing, emails, and news reading. The very first thing I did when I purchased the phone outright at ATT was install Nova Launcher Prime. After manually adjusting some settings, the UI is every bit as fast as a nexus phone. I highly enjoy it and can see myself using it for another year without any fear of it not handling the newest apps. It is a nice phone and for the money, one of the best deals if you're looking for a carrier-based phone.
"Like a 'Baus'" or something, I got that from my oldest sister. :-D You really do well with the sound on your videos. There are some that really annoy, because they set their voice as low as their intro then booms your ears away. You're my favourite TH-cam'er. :-)
it was actually better than s4 of the same year (2013). i broke its screen 2 years ago and i was literally very sad but it's now repaired and i hope to use it for a long time. btw i own an s7 edge but i still loved the performance from lg g2. truly great phone..!!
It's 2020 and the G2 is one of my favorite phones of all time. After 6 months I cracked the screen. That was an awesome phone.
After installing LineageOS to G2 it got faster than my stock G6. G2 could be the best phone if we compare each phone to their years.
Lg g flex my favorite of all time
2022 and my best LOOKING phone since my Samsung A53 5G 💯
Same here

it's almost 2016 and I still think this is an awesome phone.
agreed
+Jonathan Vazquez going to buy this tomorrow
+Ahmed Hassan I just order mine :)
damn right I still have it better than the s5
hell yeah.Still a beast.I am using one.The only problem is the glassy back which feels cheap and slippery.
Why does TH-cam want me to watch this in 2019?
I still think about this phone. One of the best phones ever made (at the time). I really wish new phones had the volume buttons on the back.
I miss it. The back buttons made a lot of sense.
It is one of the best smartphone ever made
The back volume buttons along with the ability to use the phone as a TV remote are what made me choose it all those years ago. I miss this and the G4 phones so much!
@@aleccino I'm still using my g4 (alongside a Huawei mate 10 pro), it has an insane handling experience, (the button on back and it curved shape help a lot). Haven't seen better since then in that area.
still using this phone :)
is it still working ?
Yeah bump
Are u using this year
Bye bye lg phones😓
Im about to buy one
For the 6th time
Why 6th Time ? You might ask
Well…
Stolen in an alley
Lost in a road trip
Destroyed in a car crash
Sold to my aunt
And Destroyed By Gunshots
Is Your Answer Good Sir 😁
I laughed so hard when I saw that antenna. :D
@@potato_x69 there are in the international version. Its also the beat version.
Those bezels are looking good! Fits right into 2017!!
Jonathan Daniel agree!
Crazy how thin they managed to get the bezels way back then.
I loved that phone... Great battery for the time, smooth UI, minimal bezels on the side... And the prices were reasonable back then!
hahaha i got a BOGO on two of them from sprint back in the day. great phones
came here after the news about LG shutting down its mobile phone division :(
this G2 is LEGENDARY! Love absolutely everything about it, so proud that I owned one.
A whopping 2gb ram
:Pees pants: we sure came a long way Bois.
your videos are lengthy..... but, it's generally very detailed and you don't feel the drag that you feel in PhoneArena videos....
You think his reviews are lengthy? Check out Erica Griffin, her reviews usually run 50 minutes plus, but they're the best reviews on TH-cam in my opinion.
That's a matter of personal preference..... The sense of length is different for different people,....

Are you curious on how this phone held up in 2016? Lucky for you I made a vid about it, check it out, or nah
+Simple Alpaca install cm13 on it and make a video of it, glad to still see youtubers making updated videos of this phone
Just wanted to watch all Lg videos made by Mkbhd and boy do i miss LG's old phones
I have an iPhone right now but my LG G2 is literally going to be here any minute. Did I make a good choice?
Well is it a better phone than your iPhone? I've seen videos where night recording sucks ass.

yeah even battery life of most of devices today can't match this beast. :(

Should I still buy it in 2015?

I swung past here in memory of my LG G2 - my first android phone, and the first @mkbhd video I watched - Been a subscriber ever since!!
I wanted to own the LG G2 soo much back then such a unique and modern phone, LG was truly ahead of its time

He still has them there now lol
This phone was so ahead in it's time! 🔥
I fqin laughed so hard when he pulled so casualy the antenna out xD
Like my grandpas old radio xDD
For all you who wonder why cover on his phone is removable,it's because he has a Korean version of the phone.That's why he showed the antenna.
Still using this in 2018! Sold wireless phones in 2016/17 and could've upgraded easily/cheaply. Haven't found a new phone that had enough to warrant paying for a replacement. Still screams and battery's probably 70% capacity. GREAT phone!!
Why has TH-cam been recommending me so many old MKBHD Videos recently?

Been using this for a year and still love it. Can't wait for the g4 when this contract end
I still think this is an awesome LG phone in 2018
Oh my old phone
I miss you

TAlk man you should get enough sleep
TAlk man, no one buys that garbage lmao, iphone 5c is horrible and not premium
still a boss of a phone
Gregory Perkins Hey I just ordered a white one, I've been using an Xperia Z with 5" screen. I wanted a bigger screen . If I like the LG2 when i get it I'll sell the Xperia Z on Ebay. Its a kick-ass phone but my eyes aren't that good and 5" is just a hair small.
I used the Xperia Z for 7 months. Beautiful screen, good camera
And it felt like a high end phone. I did have some trouble with it as far as software issues, etc. It was realy buggy for the last month I had it. This G2 I have now, I like it a lot. Its fast
Phone calls are awesome, screein is bright. They are both great phones.
My favorite LG phone of all time. It was one of the best of that era
Hey Marq, love your videos. Just wondering, did you buy those devices your self?
Its 2019 still awesome as ever
Do you still have this phone?
Sadly I broke it. But I had it until a few months ago and it was still good.
Man… time flies. I loooved this phone though. Felt incredible in hand.
Only thing I dislike about is that it doesn't have a SD card slot
OboSoma brBlackoma 32GB is plenty of storage for most folks.
Transcends its a lie , its actually 21gb
OboSoma brBlackoma it is not alie... Your os needs space too. The OS uses 11 gb usually
Suffering Lion 11 GB is a lot ! Wth m8, I cri now
24gb(32gb version)

Why do u guys hate the skins on android? I personally think the stock android skin is boring as hell!!
Because they ususally slow the phone down, and there ia a lot of bloatware in skins. Best skin is sense 6 thats for sure.

+1 who is watching this in 2020. I still have my own LG G2 and still works! A bit lag but that's ok for a 7 year old smartphone. Thanks Marques Brownlee for the recomendation! Great smartphone. I wish there were such good smartphones in 2020 in that price.
Bought it in 2015, still going strong 2years later, only thing I can complain about is the camera, can take great shots but it's inconsistent.
Saw that phone in person and its gorgeous
Keep up the good reviews Marques!
Tell you what. I love my S3 and have been loyal to it for years now. I skipped the S4 because there didn't seem to be enough innovation between my S3 and itself. Now the S5 came out and I feel the exact same way I did a year ago. Seeing this video and knowing the LG G3 is very close to launch, I have to say I might honestly make the switch......
this was ahead of its time , really miss my lg g2
I thought I'd give my experience after owning the G2 for 5 months now. After 5 months of heavy use, the phone is still very fast. It boots in seconds and is quite stable. The recent KitKat update improved greatly the overall feel of refinement when using the phone daily. Battery life lasts for me all day with moderate calling use and heavy document viewing, emails, and news reading. The very first thing I did when I purchased the phone outright at ATT was install Nova Launcher Prime. After manually adjusting some settings, the UI is every bit as fast as a nexus phone. I highly enjoy it and can see myself using it for another year without any fear of it not handling the newest apps. It is a nice phone and for the money, one of the best deals if you're looking for a carrier-based phone.
Best phone reviewer on the net. Period!
This phone is hands down one of the top 3 best smartphones of all time
this was my first smartphone which i bought two years ago...amazing. And because of this review i bought it.
I intended to get the Galaxy S4, but opted for this phone instead. Have only had it 5 days but love it so far. Still learning all the functions.
I'm conflicted between buying the Nexus 5 and the LG G2 - advice? :)
This phone was so ahead of its time with its big full HD screen, thin bezels, big battery, and awesome camera. Even 5 years later, it isn't dated.
"Like a 'Baus'" or something, I got that from my oldest sister. :-D
You really do well with the sound on your videos.
There are some that really annoy, because they set their voice as low as their intro then booms your ears away.
You're my favourite TH-cam'er. :-)
This phone was way ahead of its time in terms of design!
it was actually better than s4 of the same year (2013). i broke its screen 2 years ago and i was literally very sad but it's now repaired and i hope to use it for a long time. btw i own an s7 edge but i still loved the performance from lg g2. truly great phone..!!
thank u
