My first impressions

[Fred98TJ]

Stopped at the Verizon store on the way home from work a while ago and played with the LG2 for 20 ~ 30 mins.
I'm considering one of several phones, the G2 being one considered of course.

The phone is slick, in every sense of the word.
Looks slick.
Great colors and resolution of the screen
Very smooth and snappy.
And also very slick to hold on to.

The one thing, to me, that was a little odd, is even though the screen, at 5.2 inches, is larger (physically) than the screen on the Samsung S4 (which was displayed right next to the G2 and is another one on my consideration list), the "useable" area of the screen seems larger on the S4 because of the on screen buttons that the G2 has.
I had both phones, one in each hand, and on the same basic screen (apps), so I could hold them right next to each other.
Not a game changer for sure, but interesting none the less.

I believe that is the stock UI. I've already thrown on nova launcher. I do remember thinking damn the stock ui takes up some space. But of course with movies and the like it will be all 5.2

Haha i kept wondering why my DNA showed more on the screen than the G2 even tho they re both 1080p devices. Totally forgot about the fact the G2 gives up a bit of real estate BC of the buttons. Do'oh!
