well I've had my g2 for about a month now and living with this phone I can confidently say it's as close to perfect as there is on Thu market right now. My smartphone history is as follows Palm treo 1 and 2>BlackBerry pearl >BlackBerry tour>Samsung fascinate>razr maxx>galaxy s3> g2. I'm a little obsessive about my technology purchases and it takes me a bit of time to pull the trigger as I research phone tests, comparisons, and go to the store a dozen times to test them and see how they feel and appeal to me. It's a problem because I have a hard time focussing on work when I'm in the hunt. One other thing is generally after I buy the phone I second guess the decision all through the 14 day return period.
Anyway while shopping this round I was looking at the g2, s4, droid maxx and ultra, moto x.
The first eliminated was the moto x my brother has it and loves it but for me the screen is too small I knew I wouldn't enjoy media on it.
The next to go was the droid ultra non expandable and only 16gb memory was the disqualifier. Maybe I wouldn't need more than that buy with non expandable I couldn't take Thu chance.
The s4 was next to go. It was hard to disqualify the s4 for a couple of reasons. First I really like Samsung products I remember when they were a non recognized brand and have a lot of admiration for how they are at or near the top of the consumer electronics market you only get there by giving the consumer more than they expect. Also let's face it The s4 is the android iPhone when it comes accessories. Factories invest in being compatible with it because they sell 10's of millions. Plus it's always rated well. There were a few reasons. First it wasn't enough of a change from my s3, second at this point in its life cycle the s5 would make me have buyers remorse too soon. And 3rd I have this thing about not going with the masses.
So it was down to the g2 and the maxx. The maxx had a lot going for it especially it touchless controls and notifications.
But in the end it's about the interaction with the phone. And the g2 is so much better on so many fronts. First of all the screen is much more enjoyable to look at. Plus they managed to fit it in a small form factor. The stock keyboard is a pleasure to use. I can configure my softkeys any way I like so I was able to keep the Samsung layout that I was used to. Being able to put the keyboard in single hand mode. Knock on is great especially since I read the post about tapping above the LG on the bottom. And more.
In the end I was second guessing myself primarily because battery stamina is very important to me I want my phone to last all day and in the beginning it wasn't. But now I'm going the whole day from 5am to midnight and ending up with plenty of juice. Plus I think lg really got it right with this phone and I have a feeling that we are going to see a big surge in their market presence.
In the end the truth is I would have done well with any of my original 5 phones their all very good......
It just happens to be the g2 is the best.
Oh and for you note 3 fans it was never a consideration it's just too big.
Let's hear your g2 experience.
