Cant decide between the G2 and the note 3
- Thread starter Sniper1087
- Start date
.......and the wait begins. I had to go ahead and return my Note 3 this morning because the store could not order a white G2. When at&t says "web only" they mean it. Not even a company owned store can order one!! So I returned the Note to the store and ordered the g2 online. Next week I will be receiving 2 packages. A white g2 and an Incipio gray Feather Case. After that I'll pretty much be set
ps: it's a good thing I still have my Note 1 to hold me over until the g2 arrives.

I went to AT&T and played with both yesterday. I was impressed with both. Having an S3 now I am used to everything on the Note but the s-pen stuff. I still don't know if I would use it enough and the thing is huge. I keep my phone in my front pocket all the time. That's a lot of phone. If I stay on. Sprint I think it will be the G2. If I switch to AT&T I still don't know.

I like note 3 better. G2 skin makes the phone much slower and knock off of much hated touch wiz.
Note 3 works much better in my opinion.

It's really a personal preference. Both are great devices and offer something different, hardware and software wise. I'm sure you'll enjoy that G2 when you get it.

Two things that I don't like about the G2 are no expandable storage and the USB isn't 3.0 like on the Note.

The Note 3's expandable memory is nice too because you can move apps to the SD card which is nice.

The snag I've run into is that if I don't use Action Memo for a while then Air Command won't launch it. If I launch it manually, though, then I can close it and launch it with Air Command repeatedly just fine. I don't know if that's because I'm using Nova launcher. Not a deal killer, as I have a dock shortcut that works consistently flawlessly, but certainly a bug of sorts.

I returned my black note 3 Saturday morning. My white G2 will be here Tuesday!!! I didn't have a problem with the size of the note but I agree, the G2 is alot of phone in a smaller package.

I looked again at the Optimus G Pro. It still looks like a nice phone and I wouldn't mind having it but I'm still happy with my Note 3.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 vs. LG G2 Comparison Smackdown - YouTube
That video may help some, though I think if someone is in the market that they are going to know most of the features, it really comes down to preference.
Im upgrading in December, and I have it narrowed down to 5 or 6 phones lol.

I have both but will be returning one. I have had the note 1 & 2 in the past. I like the note but I find myself constantly hitting the wrong thing on the screen with the 3 when trying to use the capacitive buttons. It has to do with the size. The phone also has a bunch of gimmicky features. The s pen is cool but nothing I ever use.
The g2 is the exact size I find I can use one handed. Anything over 5.2 and I'm kidding myself if I think the phone is usable one handed. Yes I have big hands. That is not the problem.
The camera on the g2 is probably better because of the optical stabilization. I like the volume down shortcut on the g2 to quickly get to three camera.
I like the g2's lack of buttons on the sides. Double tapping to turn the phone on and off is a great idea and works really well. It does limit the usefulness of third party launchers because none implement a double tap to simulate the power button although I find the built in launcher really good.
Both have similar or identical battery life (awesome).

I sold my Note 3 and now have a G2, which I love. The performance is just flawless. Even smoother than the already good Note 3. The screen is gorgeous and, to me, its just the right size. I also have a Nexus 5 but am slowly finding that I prefer the G2 slightly more. Its just so nice that we're finally at a stage with these two devices where everything is just great. It's about time. Really.

I couldn't agree more. I paid 299 for the Note 3. Returned it after one week and ordered a white G2 for 199. Since then the price of the G2 has dropped $100 and at&t has given me a $100 credit. I like the G2 better than the Note 3 and now I've only paid $99 for the G2. I'm a very happy camper!

All of that was opinion. My opinion is opposite. Coming from TW to LG was so nice. LG ui adds so much to the phone.

I love android but at the end of the day android and all the skins by the manufacturers are copies of iPhone. I don't think that what LG did is a copy of what Samsung did. They are all copies and variations of what Google started. In my mind the biggest joke is this idea that Samsung is creating anything original. They are the least creative in the UI department of all the manufacturers.
I think the Note 3 makes more sense if you just have one device. As I've said before, if you have more than one device it's nice to have a smaller device (<=5") for on the go and a larger device (7+") for chilling with at home. I don't mind walking around with a Note 3 on a belt clip when I'm out and about but some might. I carry my Nexus 5 or G2 when I'm out and use my G Pad when I want to spread things out. If I could only have one device, though, it'd be a Note. A Note 3.
