1. You can get this phone for 189.00 brand new unlocked for any GSM carrier.
2. G2 now is running lollipop, 95% of the criticisms when the phone launched were due to software. It now has lollipop goodness.
3. It is a "normal" sized phone. When LG released this phone they said this is as big as a phone should be for one hand use, and they were right.
4. Even in 2015 the hardware is up to snuff, snapdragon 800 and adreno 330. Any game will play on this fine. It also has 32gb's or storage standard.
5. 1080p screen. No worry about excessive battery drain due to Qhd screens of today. (more on battery below).
6. Dem bezels. The whole front of the phone is all screen. TO THIS DAY it has the highest screen to body ratio of any phone on the market.
7.Camera. Its STILL got a top 5 android camera WITH OiS!
8. And last but not least, battery life. I just got off the first charge since i got lollipop, 37 hours on battery with 5 hours 19 minutes of screen on time, most of that was watching twitch tv which will drain a battery faster than youtube especially if you have it set to "source" quality.
There are other things i didnt list like the notification pulldown (which HTC finally introduced with sense 7), perfected tap to wake/sleep (i literally never have to use power button), and an IR remote.
The only thing it is missing is a louder speaker, but at least its downfiring and not rear firing (if g2 had the g3 speaker it would be perfect phone).
The absolute kicker tho is not having to sign a contract, buy this gem of a phone and sign up with a GSM carrier (i went with cricket for 35.00 a month) and save literally thousands of dollars a year, and use same networks as people who sign those contracts.
Im not an LG fanboy in the least, i did a ton of research before i bought a phone and in the end the G2 is what got my money. I know people like certain things about certain phones and my perfect phone isnt the same as yours, but this is the closest i could find to perfect.
