+PhoneArena : You guys are doing a great job, don't bother about these people complaining about the accent . The most important thing is the message to be delivered ! Keep up the good work !!!
All you had to say was: you don't like LG G2... Instead you made a 10 min video and made us waste our time. Truth be told, i just traded my iPhone 5s for the LG G2 and im loving it. Bottom line is everyone has different tastes and different needs. So far the LG G2 has impressed me! 👍
Does the phone tend to get very warm? The Snapdragon 600 seemed to hand this issue. I'm hoping the 800 doesn't. I've had a few gs4's and they did get quite warm on the top front of the phone.
I don't know why people compare lg g2 and note 3...note 3 is a phablet and belongs to a completely different market segment, the lg g2 should be compared to the likes of gs4, nexus 5 etc.
I really want this phone the only thing that makes me question this beast are the onscreen buttons...they don't go away during game play like they do during video playback
You failed to mention the battery is not removable on non-Korean models and the microSD slot is also missing on non-Korean models. The power and volume were put on the back to allow for the super thin side bezels, also making the phone thinner to fit in the hand better. You also didn't even show it's multi-tasking ability that is superior to the GS4.
This phone looks surprisingly good, one of the more interesting smartphones this year. Great video. Hope to cover this on my channel sometime... You guys should get in touch.
Many people are capable of having a phone with a 5"+ screen fit in their pocket. It's a matter of, not necessarily opinion, but really pocket size. It is in opinion that you decide how big a phone should be, though, and 5" (maybe 5.2" now?) seems to be the sweet spot this year.
I have the g2 and have never felt the need to squeeze the back to make it creak. I keep my phone in the quick folio case/cover which gives added protection. Fyi it's a beast of a phone that tackles any app/game you throw at it with ease....pure perfection!!
Not the same family. It's competing with the S4, not the Note 3. There isn't that many recent Note competitors that are worth noting. I am interested in what the Note is going to bring to the table though.
Last I checked, pretty much every phone company copies one another. This has been going on for years. You see something the competition has, you copy it or make it better. As a consumer I welcome it, means better products for us.
LG G2 , rated one of the best smartphones for the year ,2.26 GHz quad quare snadraggon 800 the best processor till date,stunning 5.2 inch end to end display,and also loaded with new features especially one being the button on the backside which can control the whole phone ... very nice
Well you can't considering that the S4 came out nearly 5 months ago, the specs are obviously going to be better on the G2. But for next year, the S5 will come out with a better processor than the G2, and probably will out do the 5.2" screen with a 5.3" one lol. But the 3000mah battery is a nice touch.
From looking at it today, I actually like the buttons on the back. They were easy to use and reach without having to shift the phone in my hand. The buttons also felt fine to me.
Fantastic specs, screen, etc. But the UI :/ The average consumer wouldn't want to waste time with rooting and looking up launchers. On Sprint this phone is a major win.
Easy. The LG G2 is better in every aspect. The Nexus 5 is about half the price so, if you can dish out the money get the G2 but the Nexus 5 is a wonderful phone as well.
um it's not? it's actually quite thin and it has a well crafted design with the glass, one piece aluminium bezel and all black, there's nothing really wrong with the design.
Thanks for another great review. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on this device. I have an Optimus G Pro now and I have had not one problem with it. No lag or crashes. Very happy with LG's phablet offering. Thanks again.
too bad that the international ver didn't come with microsd slot but the good point that he forget to mention that G2 camera has OIS and that is better than any software based stabilizer
I'm a person who loves Motorola, i have no bias for Samsung. Samsung, in the recent years has been independent in it's R&D and has come up with advanced hardware. Unlike other companies they rely on their own hardware and still come up with a fairly affordable phone. I hate Samsung, but i have to credit the company as a whole for providing rather good products. Samsung has features that rival many other companies, only now they've begun copying other companies.
He speaks clear enough so we can all understand what is said. English is spoken with hundreds of differents accents and styles across the globe, Irish, Indian and Jamaican variations being especially twisted. People are not robots speaking all in the same manner pumpkin, learn to embrace diversity for a change.
nice review, but you need to show a device from all sides, this was missing. p.s: i think xperia z1 is going to bury the g2 and other phones in the 5 inch flagships range at least until next year.
Don't take my work for it, go to best buy and look at both phones, the difference in clarity is clear. I'm not saying the screen looks bad, just that the screen on the G2 is better.
My summary as an owner of this phone for 10 days... - Amazing screen, camera and battery life, feels nice in the hand, a stretch to use in one hand but I manage, very snappy even with the oft-bashed LG UI at least for me (can be customized; Nova Launcher is often recommended as a desktop replacement and it's good)...yeah. The G2 was significantly cheaper than GS4 where I live, and I daresay it's also better overall. (And GS5 isn't bringing all that much new to the table...) Kitkat update for the worldwide version of G2 is running late but is supposed to come out at the end of March.
what about the fact that the 16gb version only has about 8 gb of free storage and that even of you can expand the storage with a micro sd card you cant install games on it. Doesnt seem very nice at all.
Ray, great great reiew,as always, ty! only highlights you missed were that you can change the on screen button configuration, and also you didn't show Quick Memo feature, or that it can be launched along with the camera using the "multi function volume up down buttons on back... I'm not critisizing, i just want as many ppl as possible to consider getiting this phone, i've become such an LG Fan Girl, i guess i want the whole world to love LG! BTC
If the Z1 was for sure coming to the US by this Nov, I'd be all over that. But since they haven't announced anything a thing about it coming anytime soon, I'll stick with the LG :D
The processor on this phone is much better than the note 2. If you are comparing tech inside this phone, the obvious advantage goes to the G2, which is no surprise, seeing as the G2 is a much newer phone. If you need all that screen, note is the way to go. I feel like the 5.2 inches on the G2 is just about perfect after handling them both, but thats just one mans opinion.
I am really liking this phone... Agggg I hate 2 years contracts I a not able to upgrade until September next year... Maybe I'll be getting the g3 or the gs5
Plastic just means it won't crack as easily. Notice how those "non" plastic iphones always have massive spider web cracks? The aluminum shell has no shock resistance. My Galaxy s2, also made of plastic, has fallen idk how many times, without a case, and has yet to crack whatsoever.
I have a big question towards those who got lg g2...I think d phone got only one speaker in d down part...but there are two bar...I coverd d right one and d hset was properly silent,did it on d left side and d volume was same.So?
Im not sure why people choose to buy contract phones when you can get an lg g2 for $79.99 with unlimited for $50 a month through net10. I don't like to be in a 2 year contract obligation so pay as you go is better for me.
Swore to myself that I would never buy another lg due to the last past failures. But I might have to look into this. I think personally that this is a game changer for LG and I'm pretty sure that this will be the flagship phone for lg. Or maybe will the nexus 4 (2013) be the flagship.
QWERTZ keyboard is enabled for him. You can change that in the settings.
Still a BEAST. The greatest phone LG has ever made!
+PhoneArena : You guys are doing a great job, don't bother about these people complaining about the accent . The most important thing is the message to be delivered ! Keep up the good work !!!
I didn't know niko belic from gta 4 quit his job as a hitman and started doing smartphone reviews on TH-cam
All you had to say was: you don't like LG G2... Instead you made a 10 min video and made us waste our time. Truth be told, i just traded my iPhone 5s for the LG G2 and im loving it. Bottom line is everyone has different tastes and different needs.
So far the LG G2 has impressed me! 👍
Nah, that's what you say when you haven't used LG UI.
It's like upgraded touchwiz with much more features and no lag.
Ray? Hey Ray? Do you ever respond in the comment section? Does the 800 processor get very warm like snapDragon 600 on the gs4?
When was the Galaxy S4 ever in first place? Most Tech reviewers placed the HTC One over the S4. Explain?
Does the phone tend to get very warm? The Snapdragon 600 seemed to hand this issue. I'm hoping the 800 doesn't. I've had a few gs4's and they did get quite warm on the top front of the phone.
In the written review I believe they stated they were on 4G during the test.
You like how cheap the back volume key felt?
I don't know why people compare lg g2 and note 3...note 3 is a phablet and belongs to a completely different market segment, the lg g2 should be compared to the likes of gs4, nexus 5 etc.
thank you
Yes, i agree! HTC One is the best phone in the world! =)
Yeah it's at the top beside the handset speaker. I think it can do around 8 different colors.
Since International LG G2 is with Non Removeable back cover does it comes with 32GB stock or we have to pay extra for it ?
I've never had anything but an iPhone but when I get my upgrade, I'm getting this or HTC One. but I have an iPhone 4 now. Which has a better battery?
I really want this phone the only thing that makes me question this beast are the onscreen buttons...they don't go away during game play like they do during video playback
not in the same class of devices though. The G2 is still not a phablet now is it?
You failed to mention the battery is not removable on non-Korean models and the microSD slot is also missing on non-Korean models. The power and volume were put on the back to allow for the super thin side bezels, also making the phone thinner to fit in the hand better. You also didn't even show it's multi-tasking ability that is superior to the GS4.
if I too am with the same question here in Argentina has not arrived yet.
I am between these LG G2 or HTC ONE M7! Now I have an S2
Bigger screen doesnt matter if the on screen buttons take up space when the gs4 physical button lets you use the whole screen
Why didn't you show the benchmarks?
This phone looks surprisingly good, one of the more interesting smartphones this year. Great video. Hope to cover this on my channel sometime... You guys should get in touch.
Will be interesting to see how case makers allow for the back power and volume controls?...

Dual camera was first on Lg Optimus G Pro. SGS4 wasn't even announced back then
I have the g2 and have never felt the need to squeeze the back to make it creak. I keep my phone in the quick folio case/cover which gives added protection. Fyi it's a beast of a phone that tackles any app/game you throw at it with ease....pure perfection!!
I noticed that the Z button on the keypad was in the wrong place along with the the Y button.
Not the same family. It's competing with the S4, not the Note 3. There isn't that many recent Note competitors that are worth noting. I am interested in what the Note is going to bring to the table though.
How much for this phone? This looks really brilliant
Last I checked, pretty much every phone company copies one another. This has been going on for years. You see something the competition has, you copy it or make it better. As a consumer I welcome it, means better products for us.
The QWERTZ or QWERTZU keyboard is a widely used computer and typewriter keyboard layout that is mostly used in Central Europe (by wiki)
LG G2 , rated one of the best smartphones for the year ,2.26 GHz quad quare snadraggon 800 the best processor till date,stunning 5.2 inch end to end display,and also loaded with new features especially one being the button on the backside which can control the whole phone ... very nice
I want to ask you a question , how much LG paid to you to give the LG g2 9.4 ?????!!!!!
whats the size of the screen when you take away the space from the on screen buttons?
Why does it have a qwertz keyboard instead of QWERTY
how is the sound compared to the iPhone 5?
Well you can't considering that the S4 came out nearly 5 months ago, the specs are obviously going to be better on the G2. But for next year, the S5 will come out with a better processor than the G2, and probably will out do the 5.2" screen with a 5.3" one lol. But the 3000mah battery is a nice touch.
Volume key at the back has a camera capture function, great for selfies.
From looking at it today, I actually like the buttons on the back. They were easy to use and reach without having to shift the phone in my hand. The buttons also felt fine to me.
is this phone going to be available at us cellular?
he said it not the best Screen on LG G2
Which phones have the Best screen ?
Does the phone have an led notification?
Why do you review a phone w/c isn't even out in the market yet?
LG's most appealing phone yet, the G2 marries cutting-edge tech with a gorgeous screen.
I said the most popular android manufacturer. Sony and HTC's smartphone sales combined does not reach 50% of Samsung''s smartphone sales.
4:44 the Z and Y on the keypad are interchanged.. wtf! how do you even fix that?
Fantastic specs, screen, etc. But the UI :/ The average consumer wouldn't want to waste time with rooting and looking up launchers.
On Sprint this phone is a major win.
The pictures were from Varna, Bulgaria
Why does it not have a QWERTY keyboard? The "z" and "y" keys are switched.
eh? why is the keyboard's Y and Z are switched?
The keypad has z and y keys at wrong places?
LG G2 or Nexus 5? what do you think?
If you can wait just a while longer for KitKat on the LgG2, go w/the G2!
Easy. The LG G2 is better in every aspect. The Nexus 5 is about half the price so, if you can dish out the money get the G2 but the Nexus 5 is a wonderful phone as well.
um it's not? it's actually quite thin and it has a well crafted design with the glass, one piece aluminium bezel and all black, there's nothing really wrong with the design.
That's a matter of opinion. Some people love and prefer the Note 3's size and form factor over a regular phone.
Does the screen turn off when you do doble tap at a picture at instagram?
n 9000 has a xenos 5 octacore processor .8 cores .i dont think that its slow in anyway.
Thanks for another great review. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on this device. I have an Optimus G Pro now and I have had not one problem with it. No lag or crashes. Very happy with LG's phablet offering. Thanks again.
There's a separate video for that >.>
too bad that the international ver didn't come with microsd slot but the good point that he forget to mention that G2 camera has OIS and that is better than any software based stabilizer
Why is the "z" and "y" key switched..
What is the starting capacity?
I wouldn't say a lot, there's only very minor differences between the z and the new z1.
I'm a person who loves Motorola, i have no bias for Samsung. Samsung, in the recent years has been independent in it's R&D and has come up with advanced hardware. Unlike other companies they rely on their own hardware and still come up with a fairly affordable phone. I hate Samsung, but i have to credit the company as a whole for providing rather good products. Samsung has features that rival many other companies, only now they've begun copying other companies.
Currently using the best phone of 2012 which is the optimus g. I defenitely will buy this or the nexus 5 once available.

how are doing todax?
What animated movie was he playing? What is the title of it?
My only issue with the LG G2 is the screen get scratched easily.
Does lg have a beam feature I beam movies all the time with my s4. I'm thinking about get needs to have this feature.
I am praying that developers make a CM 10.2 for this. I will buy it in a heartbeat.
nice review, but you need to show a device from all sides, this was missing. p.s: i think xperia z1 is going to bury the g2 and other phones in the 5 inch flagships range at least until next year.
at 04:22 did anyone noticed that the letters 'Y' and 'X' on the keyboard are interchanged ..making it QWERTZ !
Nexus 5 is awesome product, but... if Google changes its low volume of battery which is way lower than competitors', i would like to buy one asap.
Don't take my work for it, go to best buy and look at both phones, the difference in clarity is clear. I'm not saying the screen looks bad, just that the screen on the G2 is better.
Very impressed so far with the LG G2. Might get one in the new year for my upgrade.
This phone needs more recognition, its better than the HTC One and Galaxy S4 in many ways.
My summary as an owner of this phone for 10 days...
- Amazing screen, camera and battery life, feels nice in the hand, a stretch to use in one hand but I manage, very snappy even with the oft-bashed LG UI at least for me (can be customized; Nova Launcher is often recommended as a desktop replacement and it's good)...yeah.

They can use aluminum for the back
does this have a memory card slot?
Roman is that you?
lg g2 or sony z1?

I am really liking this phone... Agggg I hate 2 years contracts I a not able to upgrade until September next year... Maybe I'll be getting the g3 or the gs5

He's not using the US keyboard. Don't worry. it'll come with the type of keyboard that is standard for your country

What are the names of the cartoons in this video?
