So I've been a windows phone user for the last 3 years so I can't compare to the last several Android phones. Will start with couple of things I miss from L925. Although the G4 is really smooth, it's just not the same as the Windows phone and this could just be an OS thing. For example, when you scroll on the Lumia, it's kind of like a wheel, it just keeps going till it runs out of momentum. While the LG4 is smooth, I kind of have to get use to scrolling and just kind of having it stop. The second thing I miss is of course the live tiles. Since Microsoft made it more customizable( transparent tiles to show wallpaper, more tile sizes) it's just nice to have. The thing that makes it a little bit easier to deal with is the complete customazation with widgets and tiles on Android. Thank goodness I didn't switch to iPhone, don't think I could do it.
Now the great aspects of this phone. The camera is amazing IMHO and that's saying something coming from a Lumia. The speed and quality just using the automatic setup is unbelievable to me. Add to that the neat feature to be able to write on my pics is great. The quick memo is a really neat feature. The knock to wake/knock to sleep is another nice feature, especially coming from the 925 since I used that all the time to wake the phone. The speaker sounds pretty good to me. Much better than my previous 2 phones, and while not the front facing stereo sound of the HTC phones, more than good enough for me. I'm getting used to and now liking the button placement on the back. I don't accidentaly turn the phone off or change the volume while holding it like other phones. The screen is incredible. I loved the Amoled screen but really like the sharp natural color reproduction on this phone. Last but not least, it's nice to have a removable back again with access to the SD card slot and the ability to change the battery out.
