I have to ask you commenters why is there so much hate for this phone? 1. 5.2" 1080p screen barely any bezel on it, 2. 3,000 mAh battery, 3. Snapdragon 800, 4. 13MP camera. w/ image stablization 5. It has things the HTC One and S IV are both lackin' on. 6. bigger battery than both better processor than both, no 4 MEGAPIXEL camera. its 4 mp.. deal with it. 5. This is a PHONE not a PHABLET. Stop comparing it with the Note III
Great unboxing Aaron. Please let us know about the speakers on this phone. I've heard they are simply Mono rather than stereo. I hope I heard wrong. Can't wait to see how the camera performs and the photo quality.
Awesome review. Being an iPhone person for the last 5 years, I really wanted a phone that was refreshingly new with solid specs / tech. The 5S was a huge letdown for me and after seeing this review, it looks like I will be waiting just a few more weeks for the Nexus 5, which from the info I've gathered, will be based of the G2? I hope so...this phone is gorgeous.
I don't think you understand. The G2 has studio-level audio, incorporated into the phone. That is incredibly difficult to do. With 32kb at 412mhz, I am honestly surprised that it can even fit into a small object. Also, the button placement is fantastic. The button falls effortlessly onto your index finger. Works great. IPS camera? Even better. With one of the few phones with the powerful Snapdragon processor at 2.3 ghz, this phone beats the S4, despite my love for Samsung.
Hi Aaron, when you do the full review will you please tell us how loud the speaker is? Maybe compare it to the speaker on the GS4 or HTC One. Thanks for the cool vids.
Very impressed... Overall I think it's going to sell very well. It's got triband LTE which as of right now... Is the only one that does for the sprint network
The phone market has slowed down quite a bit from a couple years ago, but I still think it might be too early to refer to these phones for the holiday season
Hey Aaron. When doing the review for the G2, could u pls cover whether we could multitask using 2 of the same applications, like how they demoed with the chat app on the galaxy note 3? Also, on the memo app, if u write down a no., do we have a shortcut to add to the phone book? Thanks in advance.
Great looking phone but still would take my HTC ONE!! WITH BEATS AUDIO AND BLINKFEED AND ZOE AND HAVING GIANT speakers on The front as opposed to the back and my 13 ULTRAPIXEL CAMERA OVER MEGAPIXEL
I miss Aaron. Never watching a phone dog video again. Aaron was the best.
yoitswes yup I agree
Aaron, you are the face of Phonedog! I can't watch anyone else's reviews. You are epic :). Keep up the good work!
I want one! I Think I'll make this my Christmas gift to myself, this year.
phone dog i love you for showing these good phones and doing great reviews
Haven't been a LG fan for several years but I must say this phone is VERY impressive
I'm not crying about updates that's what a nexus is for. I will definitely be using this as my daily driver.
Best phone ever...

I actually changed my decision to buy a Galaxy Note 3 after watching this thing! LG G2 has caught my eye,It's just Beautiful! :D
I LOVE CUSTOMIZATION! SUPER NICE!
cant wait to hear your thoughts on the note 3! don't make us wait long!
Greetings from Jordan (Middle East)
Awwwww. I wish you were in Berlin Aaron. I love your reviews, and I love you! :DDD
Beautiful, high end and affordable phone. Definitely worth buying
Thank you. This unboxing sesh is super helpful phonedog.
This is an awesome phone now to watch the reviews of the note 3 and the HTC one maxx when its released.
Such a beautiful phone might get this over the note 3
lg is stepping it up
Great unboxing Aaron.

I'm the same as the person who commented below. The G2 is a great phone but Nexus 5 will be almost as good if not as good. So I'll wait for that :)
Look it up. There are tons of Apps available for making GIFS AND Burst Shot cameras.
I have a Note 2 considering trade for G2...good or bad? If bad what would you recommend?
its Awesome.! get the G2 trust me.! you wont regret.!

I love my LG Optimus G but I must say this will be my next phone!!
I love you for yelling at him
Any solid date for US release,have been waiting for this phone? Great job as always! Thanks
Wow such beautiful Android phones. Very nice G2.
This phone is beautiful Rates 10 on design
I don't think you understand.

I like this phone, it's not over priced like the galaxy and iphone are and has a beautiful screen
Very impressed... Overall I think it's going to sell very well. It's got triband LTE which as of right now... Is the only one that does for the sprint network
G2 all the way!
it already came out for the US
Agree with Jofri24- this looks like the LG Nexus 4 only much better. Hopefully this will form the basis of the Nexus 5.
The phone market has slowed down quite a bit from a couple years ago, but I still think it might be too early to refer to these phones for the holiday season
Best phone ever! :D
Already opened
I feel you on that there just ain't any going wrong
The quick brine fox is ready for the weekend... Lol
Good job Aaron, but is too big. HTC ONE ATT best cell phone now
See if this was metal with a fingerprint resistant back i'd be in love with it
The new lg phones have this ganster look i love them
you just made me not want to get it
TBH.. Get it or not no one cares so stfu.
Soon to be mine!!!!!!!
I'm getting it tomorrow!!!!!
Droid Maxx, G2, Note 3! I can't decide. It used to be so simple, flip open, "Hello........"
I should of waited until this came out for my upgrade. Got the htc one
What are the downsides to this phone? debating to get this or the galaxy note 3.
Sorry the doesn't beat note 3.lets see about the z1. I hear that's impressive
you mean Note III vs G Pro II? Because the G2 is in competition with S IV and HTC One and Moto X.
Ordered mine
My next phone I cant wait to get it
nice phone, i have a nexus 4, that will be my next
should i update to 4.4.2 my g2?
try using a different launcher, that might improve your experience.
LG is upping their game.
Remember the LG G2X was the first dual core processor phone, and it didn't get any software updates.
Great phone I have it myself.
Snapdragon 800! =O This thing will be even MORE of a beast once it's rooted with a nice ROM (like CM) thrown on it. Very nice.
That "Life is good!" notification will be the first thing to go...
pretty similar to the S3 .. but Im on for it tho
phonedig :DD nice new name
do you happen to know when the release date for this phone will be for AT&T
Hey Aaron. When doing the review for the G2, could u pls cover whether we could multitask using 2 of the same applications, like how they demoed with the chat app on the galaxy note 3? Also, on the memo app, if u write down a no., do we have a shortcut to add to the phone book? Thanks in advance.
Just got this phone! so nice :)
looks amazing
Which should I buy? Lg G2 or Galaxy S4?
The LG G2 absolutely,the S4 sucks truste me
Why does he not enjoy pulling off the stickers. That's my favorite part of getting a new phone
I'm gonna buy this phone!
Dat glossy fingerprint magnet back.
yea i was gonna say that startup was really fast
Great job lg
I currently have a Galaxy S3 on T-Mobile...I was thinking wether to upgrade to the S4 or the LG G2
Do a unboxing of the Verizon version. The phone is slightly different and different box.
note 3 vs lg g2 what phone do u think is better and good and i dont know what 2 buy
how so?
Great looking phone but still would take my HTC ONE!! WITH BEATS AUDIO AND BLINKFEED AND ZOE AND HAVING GIANT speakers on The front as opposed to the back and my 13 ULTRAPIXEL CAMERA OVER MEGAPIXEL
regardless, the HTC ONE is a pretty sexy phone that is easily comparable to the GS4 or LG G2
aaron is the best
To protect when i buy the G2
What about txt message notifications. Does it have an changing color LED to notify you or something like that?
Samsung galaxy s5 or Lg G2 ?
This will be my next phone
The Note 3, papi !! i want some video!
Does it have expandable storage?
Does it have space for external storage??
I would trade my S4 for this phone in a heartbeat. Probably doesn't help that I have hated the S4 since day one though.
ITS AN UNBOXING !!! HOW HARD IS IT TO OPEN THE HEADPHONES !!!!
I'd get this and then put stock android on it. Would be absolutely beautiful then
No the S4 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 proccessor. Not an 800.
It has really nice battery life. It only dropped 1%during the duration of this video. Where as my gs3 dropped 5% just while watching this video.
When laying phone on table will the buttons be pressed?
nice specs
Yes its a good phone but you forgot to mention that when you crack the screen on the phone the digitizer complete fucks up....
MercMan 2000 you're not supposed to crack it intentionally it's not like it's a feature on the phone LOL
Can u believe it 2and more GHz?
This is the next Nexus 5 ladies and gents..should be awesome.
That looks so hot!
Nice phone but im gonna wait for the nexus 5
How do you trde in a phone at best buy??? I have a stinkin iphone 5 but I really want a lg g2...do I need to wait 2 years to trade??
HTC one vs lg2 but nexus style what would be better
Why no Berlin this year Aaron?
