Well, this might seem silly but i've got my old phone and tried to see which one is better.
The Optimus V has better colors to my eyes, more natural and it is the same colors as my LED monitor.
Also, the speaker quality and volume is a lot higher than both my GS2 and my friends Driod Razr. The quality of the Optimus V's speaker is also better than the iPhone but about the same volume. This makes all these $500+ phones ashamed, and i feel sick that my old $100 Android phone is better than my $600 GS2!
I wonder which screens would look more like LED monitors like my Optimus V, as i really hate Super Amoled now!

Optimus V has one of the lower quality displays, that phone CANNOT have better display than this.

I might I agree with sound cause our speaker is to low but lg has the worst screens on their phones there screen isn't even close to the GS2

I know its a crappy display, but if you compare colors in apps and icons it looks alot brighter, natural than our GS2. i'm obviously not talking about resolution or anything. You would be able to tell unless you have a Optimus V next to your GS2. If i had a decent camera i would show you guys.

Well, the downside of the Optimus is slow data and the display is too small. Otherwise if it was 4 inch and T-mobiles "4g" i would switch..

Seems silly.. Ill agree with the speaker being a bit low, but its not to bad..
But as for the screens I think maybe your LED monitor that your using as a way of comparing needs calibration. The SGS2 has a Super AMOLED Plus display.. the colors are much better than on your optimus...
I came from an Optimus V. This phone is much better. The Optimus feels like a toy in comparison. But I do have to say the optimus is damn near magical. It's a tough little guy and a good starting point for people new to Android. The development on that phone is crazy. They have roms from three different Android OSes. Not bad for a cheapo phone on an even cheaper network that shipped with Froyo.

After coming from an HTC Sensation, the speaker on the GS2 is awesome. I played with my friend's Optimus V. It crashes all the time. The colors look washed out. And yeah it's louder, but the overall quality is bad. He said he would buy my GS2 to get rid of his crappy phone and get on a real network as well. I mean really? 3G only?

I agree, the Optimus V took alot of beating from me. I even played football with it and threw it around and nothing happend to it.
But, if you compare the colors side by side on 100% brightness, the SG2 colors look washed out somehow. If you don't believe me try it yourself.

So I sold my beloved Nexus One today. It had started to show its age.
I'm trying to decide between a G2 and the unannounced Nexus S.
Why did you opt for a G2 instead of waiting? What would you suggest?
Thanks for your help.
I would definetly go for the solid, metallic feel of the G2 rather than samsung's plasticky offering. And I must say that after having seen a super amoled screen in person that they're not all they're cracked up to be unless oversaturated color is your thing.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod.
BUY THE G2!
That nexus crap is a IPHONE ripoff. and samsung ripped off all their customers with the galaxy series. Its just one big SLOW crap plastic. PERIOD!
I feel special having rhcp agree with me lolz...
Note to rhcp: I assume by "nexus crap" you mean the nexus S only right? I was under the impression that the nexus one was a pretty good phone...
Just wanted to add that the G2 has a trackpad which does come in handy quite a lot for me, and don't forget the physical keyboard of course (I don't THINK the nexus S has a physical keyboard, although no one's really sure of course
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod.
Yes the nexus S. made by samsung!
The nexus 1 was a great phone and still is. Made by HTC!
+2
I agree. I just love the construction. Though I'm not sure how much of the keyboard I would use, I'd still like the fact that I have one.
So, I might be making my trip to the Bell Store today! How do I get this thing unlocked? Any websites you have in mind?
I got my wife the G2 after I had already purchased the Vibrant for myself. The G2 is a way better phone. While it is true that benchmarks aren't the whole story they are at least a big part of the story. Benchmarks with the G2 are better out of the box. It is just works and works fast. I am about sick and tired flashing various beta themes/roms for the Vibrant just to compensate for a crap file system and a laggy battery sucking phone. Of course I came from the MyTouch which was/is light years behind either phone.
Typical Vibrant user, "ROM x is the best ever all you have to do disable all of your running apps, wipe all of your data including SD cards, and stare at a black screen. The battery life is amazing after that. Yeah I know that I know that my internal SD card is no longer readable but ROM x is sooo fast." Well guess I am one of the those users and I am stuck with it for now. I think the best it ever ran was with the setup in my signature. Still I wish I could talk my wife out the G2 .
sold my vibrant for the g2 done. i would do that on any galaxy s or samsung s phones.
i think galazy s is pretty cool guy, he made of plastic 1ghz and doesnt benchmark anything.
best thing about the g2 is the feel, you really feel like you have 500 dollar piece of equipment in your hand. not some crappy piece of plastic.
i wouldnt hope with samsung either.
imo the only thing the g2 is missing is a tv/hdmi out.
oh god i would love an hdmi out
<--- Had an Epic4G with sprint.
It blows. Advertised having 512MB ram but your only allocated to like 300 so the phone always slowed down for any little app.
Don't get me wrong, the AMOLED screen is gorgeous (yea its over saturated) but it is also a battery killer form my experience (regardless what others say)
The cheap plastic feel the phone had was horrible, the G2 feels 10x more sturdy and its sexy.
Samsung really needs to up their phone cause the galaxy S line is garbage from my experience.
My wife runs the nexus....and me the G2.
I came from the G1.
Go with the G2!!
You won't regret it.....unless your a hopeless iPhownd myself user.....
I still never understood why Google went with Samsung this time around.
ohh come on!
g2 vs samsung nexus s!??
first thing first!
HSPA+ nexus s dont have that. supercar(g2) vs TURTLE! (nexus s) :] lol
METAL against Plastic!
g2 doesnt have front face camera, i had a mytouch 4g which prove that its NOT useful at all!
physical keyboard! ahh samsung only swype.
trackpad ohh damn no trackpad for nexus s!
g2 OWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
only thing holding me back from getting a nexus s is the lack of hspa+

You miss crappy displays? I'm sorry... but for someone with great eyesight, the look of amoled screens is terrible. They have these pixels that are spaced out very strangely giving the screen this pixelated diagonal look.

and have u seen nokias varient of the amoled display in person? theyre ****ing amazing
hate all u want bro, and post all the links u want, but i enjoy amoled more than super lcd and thats that.
I am a previous owner of a samsung vibrant, and made the move to the G2 and loving it, best phone I ever had. Get the G2 and don't look back.

LOL @ all the fanboys....
The G2 is a great phone. It does everything I need, and its maybe 4x the speed of my old G1. 3D graphics are amazing, I was playing quake 3 with someone else today on my school network and my G2 was constantly going 55-60 frames per second while his DROID was at 20. The keyboard is amazing and the build quality is great, albeit it does come at a price: ITS HEAVY!!!! I alaways notice it in my pocket and its tiresome holing it up for a long call or something. That said, it has the best CPU available on the market and everything is smooth as butter.
The Nexus S on the other hand, will be much lighter and will come with stock android, and I don't think google will let them use their ****ty file system on such a high profile device. It will be lighyears faster than the vibrant. The SAMOLED screens are amazing; it is saturated, that's my only complaint, but the screen on my uncle's vibrant is really good. The colors are great, contrast is great, and have you seen the cool shutdown effect from gingerbread? Guess what, it will only work with SAMOLED displays. Why? Because of the way that the screens display black; it actually turns the pixels off. It will be bleeding edge and I really believe the build quality will be wayyy better than the vibrants. Just look at the design, the curves on the the S just screen sex to me.
Final call? It's you choice. The G2 is amazing and will not let you down, but don't let samsungs past mistakes stop you from considering the nexus S. Both are stock android, so luckily OS isn't a desiding factor. I guess the biggest question is, do you prefer a keyboard or a slim device?

I did, just wondering what screen looks better to you?
I think the G2x is a little more vivid with the colors it seems like, this phone does not seem very bright in comparison and outdoor viewing is not totally bad but better on the LG. screen size tho is a great trade off lol.
what do you think?
I think you may have gotten a bad galaxy s 2 if you think the colors on a LCD are more vivid than a s-amoled + screen

it doesn't even need to be in the max
60% is enough to make it very crispy and easily readable under direct sunlight
main reason why i would never buy another cell phone without SAMOLED+ display
I got rid of my G2x for this and I think the SGS2 has a faaaarr better screen. Haven't had a chance to use it outside much, but when I have, the brightness was fine.
damn, mine looks dull...unless there is some setting im missing? brightness wise im not impressed, the G2x IPS display is better (at least on my end it seems that way) not saying its awful but i got it cranked to full and it still seems "dull" in comparison
Far better than my G2X
ill be a hair more specific here, say looking at facebook, a white background, seems grayish dulled out, and on the G2x its like bright white, otherwise its pretty bright, it just seems as if the whites are grayish a tad, like 10-15% gray if that makes anysense?

Been out to play with it - going to get mine from amazon on the 19th if sammy's press conference doesnt pan out to a "nexus galaxy"
Miss my 3g Vibrant SOOOO much, loved the hell out of that screen - till an errant drop cracked the heck out of it, and i was left with this rebooting, GPS loosing, freezing POS.
(vibrant had plenty o' problems, but the grass is always greener isnt it.)
Wow my brightness level is always at 0% and I can see it clearly in direct sunlight no kidding. My sensation had to be at full brightness. If I turn the brightness on a 100% on the SGSII it's a like a freaking lightbulb in your face it's soo bright.
I'll be here shortly 2weeks, keeping my g2x too tho still one of the baddest, it will be my backup **** when ur getting quadrant scores of over 5300 oc to 1.5 that's the **** can't wait till the gs2 is converted to ext4 for way better quadrant scores, specifically I/o

I using the G2x and sometime the sensation for fun, yesterday I was playing with the SG2 at the Sprint store and I can tell you that G2x is the most vibrant screen color out of the the 3. I know for sure the G2x screen is better then the HTC QHD,
when I compare with the GS2 had is a tad dull.I don't why G2x has LCD and look alot better the QHD crap .
Trying to get the
Sgs 2 but its 500 since I have to buy it full retail.
Any ideas on how to get rigs of g2x for goods price
That's what she said...
I definitely switched back to samsung. I've been going hard with my new sgs2, and I'll be continuing for the next 2 weeks. Just to make sure that everything works satisfactory.

I'm thinking about it, just waiting on the Prime announcement and also keeping an eye out on development for this phone.
To the ones that have ...
Is it worth the upgrade?
I've played around with one at the store, but its not the same as owning one. And since there is a $50 restocking fee, I don't want to buy and then change my mind.
Also I'm curious as to how long it will take to update to ICS. I've also own the Vibrant and some know how that went.
....
im loving this phone, speed is nice...once root comes ill be 100% satisfied!
This phone bends the G2X over and donkey punches it. I always had to fight the urge to throw the thing out my car window.
The display on my sgs2 is amazing, bigger, IMO clearer. I just downloaded Asphalt and it plays just as smooth, if not better, as my g2x did.
GPS is amazing on the sgs2. It was an absolute fail on the g2x. This was my biggest problem with it.
So long g2x. I hope the old Asian guy I sold it too ends up smashing it.
Sent from my: T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2
I did and plan to stick with the SII. Maybe I'm just blind but the g2x screen was way too small; especially as a GPS. Also, the bugs like needing a hard restart because data would drop out 5 times a day, random reboots, and random poor reception. LG also did a terrible job supporting/updating the phone...
I don't care about the little freaky glitches or that the battery only lasts a day with moderate usage(typical android and pretty good for htc). The phone is damn sexy, HTC sense for once works for me and I like it. The screen is out of this world, and it takes a second for my eyes to accept the low resolution, and clarity of the real world when I take my eyes of the screen. I love the quality of pictures it takes and really expected far worse from an HTC camera. The design and feel is sexy. Not to heavy and not to light, 4.7 inches and it feels like a much smaller phone. Little cute LED to let me know what I am missing(not the strobe light that upsets my wife at night on the galaxy nexus). Its the first phone that makes me want to whisper love poems to it.
Now where are the damn screen protectors and cases worthy of her beauty?
There is a white one x sitting in my amazon cart right now, taunting me. I bought the GNote at launch and I love it but its not a bad idea to have a smaller phone for other situations. The one x seems pretty damn impressive. I have a feeling that with it not being sold in the US in quad core form, it will hold its value pretty well. At least until the inevitable sgs3 drops damnit Im addicted to phones

Thats true the value in the states will stay high. I loved my note but this phone just feels special.

I'm definitely in love with the One X too! I have the Gnex and it's getting pretty jealous right now, lol. Screen is so much better and it's so fast. Also real pleased with all the dev going on, makes me feel better about my purchase. I've had a few screen glitches but only since I rooted and went with custom roms. Although I unlocked the bootloader in less then 24 hours so not much chance to give stock a good run. My employer offset the cost and put in $300 towards my new baby so it was a bargain!!! Very pleased overall.
Pulled the trigger on a white one. One day shipping should put it in my hands before I leave for vacation weds afternoon

I love the phone too just wished the battery was a little better but the camera is pretty good and the best i have seen on a phone. It's light feels great. Really good screen over saturates on some colours however the quad core is a power house.

I get 4G on AT&T in Texas on mine.
Oh, and I completely echo the sentiment of the OP: This phone is the ****.
Yep, I got the grey one since I dont rly like the white color. White is timeless, agreed, and can look pretty elegant (and expensive), but I am more the dark type of person (color preference, not personality or style ) like more the decent, non attention colors. Grey just fits me quite well, and yes, its one damn beauty.
Sense 4.0 still got its issues, like pretty borked memory management (Rosie Reloads anyone? Drives me crazy sometimes) and bugged Tegra 3 drivers. Tegra 2 Games and Apps mostly run horrible, and the Tegra 3 enabled Games start to lag quite abit when alot interaction is going on.
Software-wise, and performance-wise, this phone is capable of so much more. Just look that the Transformer Prime with Tegra 3. It has a similar screen resolution, but almost EVERYTHING runs effin smooth on this baby. That is just ONE proof that HTC ****ed up the rushed release with its buggy software. Cant wait for a new, optimized and more ironed out firmware upgrade!
Camera Performance isn't final as well. I guess the bad performance is due to some missing optimizations, the hardware is great.
Overall, I dont regret switching from my Galaxy S2 i9100 to the One X, knowing it can do even better than it already does.
This is not a real review just an honest one from a real person cause i feel most of the time these phone makers pay these companies to make the phones just seem better during reviews like when iphones always get the better reviews on every much better android phone its only what i and 7 of my friends think that jumped boat from the gs2 e4gt feel about the new evo and i don't expect anyone but the gs2 e4gt owners to understand this:
Screen:
*CONS-I really like both of these phones but when i got my evo yesterday and compared it to my gs2 on youtube videos and pics i could not help but to notice that the gs2 still has much better colors and just looks better period i still like the evo screen until i see them side by side then the evo looks as if its color has been washed or faded.in my option the gs2 e4gt wins hands down but i still like the evo,i tried different brightnesses as well but still so so.
*PROS-The evo has a much sharper picture due to being HD and all but not always noticeable.
Camera:
*CONS-i have seen so many reviews and commercials on how this camera is so great not the case im not trying to be the one to spoil this but if you came from the gs2 e4gt you would notice it right away,i used my micro sd from my last phone and seen some of my older pics from the gs2 e4gt and they look amazing and then i took at least 20 pics with all types of high settings and lighting and these pics are grainy and just not as good when compared hands down.
*PROS-This camera i has pretty good quality for the speed it takes the photos in.
Overall Phone ui:
*CONS-None so far
*PROS-The ui is clean and fluid much more than the gs2 e4gt because it was real zippy but never fluid so the evo wins this.
Dude Evo LTE beats the GS2 in every department. Your also comparing last years flagship phone to a 2012 flagship phone. The only con I'd say would be the bootloader.
e4gt bettar
Every phones better in its own ways.. Also this depends on each person preferences..
Even flip phones can be better lol.. You can throw one of them damn things against a wall and get a chip or two.. You'd need an expensive case on ours to not shatter the screen or something.

I think the SGS2 still looks better than the Evo. And saturated colors on the E4GT are much more enjoyable to me. From everything I have seen comparing the screen of the Evo to the int'l SGS2 and the SGS3, I can say I much prefer saturation over "accurate colors". The SGS3 screen also looks sharper than the Evo's. Not to mention, holding the E4GT at a normal distance still leaves me unable to see pixels. Until I hold it closer, like 6 inches away, I can't see them.
You really can't say the Evo beats the SGS2 in every department. Your grammar doesn't lend any credibility to your statement either.
And for last year's flagship, the E4GT is still an amazing phone. The only ones that "beat" it are the One X and the SGS3, and they have yet to be widespread. I personally can't wait for the SGS3. The screen looks amazing, and that Exynos shreds everything in its path. Hopefully Sprint or AT&T come out with a sexier version.
I think you should get a replacement for your new EVO, your screen is defective. I have a E4GT and an iPhone 4s, buddy just got a HTC One X...You can't even put them in the same ball park. Seriously it looks like those paint on displays they put on phones at radio shack. Everything is so bright, crisp and clear it almost looks like the icons are above the glass. Best display I have ever seen on a phone hands down and pretty much every Android or technology review site agree (pocketnow Engadget slashvear theverge ect ect). S4 is vastly superior soc, VASTLY. Im sorry Im not trying to be a jerk but you might be a fanboy if...you get the rest.

If this is only about specs, then the new Evo definitely has our E4GT beat. Then again, what do you expect? Our Phone is significantly older than the new Evo. If the Evo wasn't beating old tech from last year, that'd be cause for serious concern.
My Wife Got her Evo in yesterday. I like it. I specifically like the screen size and that it is specifically a HD Screen.
Personally though, I would rather Touchwiz over Sense any day. For how lightweight the new sense is, I noticed a small amount of lag on occasion. It wasn't a significant issue, but enough to notice and think "I guess it is not as fast as they make it sound."
My biggest gripe though has to be that the USB/Charging port is on the wrong side if you are to using the kick stand! What were they thinking?
Besides that I really like how it feels in the hand and it seems significantly easier for me to type with. Although if it were dropped I definitely foresee dinging the nice metal that lines the perimeter.
That's just my initial impressions from playing with it for about an hour.
The kickstand can support the phone on either side in portrait mode. Flip it over.
I like this new evo but after coming from the gs2 i feel like my new evos screen has no soul and colors look so blan,someone would have to pay me to say this screen is better than the gs2 screen.

I couldn't find the evo LTE, but I saw the lg nitro HD with the IPS screen yesterday. The screen is nice. The pre loaded HD video content was unreal. Looked so good it looked fake, too good to be true. You can see the detail on the smallest of objects. But outside of that, it really lacks contrast and blacks. Overall makes the screen have no advantage over samoled.
How often are you going to watch highly optimized ultra HD content?

I think the SGS2 still looks better than the Evo. And saturated colors on the E4GT are much more enjoyable to me. From everything I have seen comparing the screen of the Evo to the int'l SGS2 and the SGS3, I can say I much prefer saturation over "accurate colors". The SGS3 screen also looks sharper than the Evo's. Not to mention, holding the E4GT at a normal distance still leaves me unable to see pixels. Until I hold it closer, like 6 inches away, I can't see them.
You really can't say the Evo beats the SGS2 in every department. Your grammar doesn't lend any credibility to your statement either.
And for last year's flagship, the E4GT is still an amazing phone. The only ones that "beat" it are the One X and the SGS3, and they have yet to be widespread. I personally can't wait for the SGS3. The screen looks amazing, and that Exynos shreds everything in its path. Hopefully Sprint or AT&T come out with a sexier version.

OK thanks I'll work on my grammar to add more credibility to my point. I didn't think we still had Grammar Nazis on XDA. The first thing I noticed when I first saw the one X was how much sharper the screen looks, my GN beats the ET4g screen hands down also. These phones made me realize how low resolution the Epic Touch screen really is. Also, you CAN still see the difference with the phones two feet from your face, its that obvious. I'm not talking about looking for pixels with a magnifying glass.
Oh and by the way, since I had my replacement phone for the past three months it already has discoloration where the status bar is. I took special care because the last phone had screen burn in as well. That doesn't sound like a superior screen to me. I was quite disappointed in that.
I do agree the S3 will kill the Evo LTE once its released.

My friend has a One X, and yes the One X screen kills the ET4G. You cant hold both phones side by side and seriously tell me the Evo One will not have a better screen over the Epic Touch.
I haven't seen any lag either, trust me I'm one to notice lag and imperfections. I ditched the 3D because of the crooked screen and photon because of the lag. Y'all need to get your head out of your asses.
I took a Gnex and compared my epic to it, not much screen difference I liked my screen better even with brightness up on the nexus. However the One X just murdered my screen hands down, made me wanna switch to AT&T
Truthfully I even found at times my photon killed my epic's screen, I miss pentile and my photon. I couldn't see the pixels unless I facepalmed my phone lol
That being said everyone sees colours differently so its all in the eye of the beholder.
If you look at the galaxy s vs the s2,that was a huge generational leap. Going from the s2 to the evo or s3 will be much more incremental in my opinion.
After seeing what 2012 will hold for new high end phones I bought this epic touch off contract. I came from an og epic and this thing has a significantly better screen, is literally half as thick, WAY faster ui, much improved camera, etc. I just don't see this year's phones as killing the epic touch.
This way, when the next nexus or whatever killer phone comes out I'll be off contract and ready to go.

Indeed, not sure what these peeps are smoking lolz
Hi guys,
I would just like to get some feedback regarding the IPS screen on the Nitro. I have been using iPhone 4 for around 2 years and would like to switch to an HD android phone. However I think I am kind of spoiled by the IPS display on the iPhone as it is simply the best I have seen so far. I have compared it with others like SAMOLED+, HD SAMOLED(Pentile) or the SLCD2 and I still find it to be the most comfortable to look at. I dont have a chance to look at the Nitro screen in person as it is not available in Australia so I was thinking I can use some feedback from actual users.
Personally I think the SAMOLEDs are a bit too colorful and the SLCD2 is still a little bit washed-out. I have read some reviews on the internet and it seems like the IPS on the Nitro is not as bright as the one on iPhone but I am not too sure if it is true. So what do you guys think of the screen comparing to the ones on iPhone 4/4s in terms of contrast, brightness and color accuracy?
Thanks heaps!

LG makes the retina display for the iPhone 4/4s. It's the exact same technology in both displays, with the same ppi, but the Nitro has a higher resolution.

Actually the Nitro has a slightly higher ppi than the iPhone 4/s.

iPhone 4/4S is 330ppi and Nitro HD is 326ppi (based on GSMarena.com's calculations anyway). Although small rounding errors would give different results. It's negligible in any case.
The display is phenomenal, but it's the software running the display that will make you scratch your head. Gingerbread isn't optimized to run a display of this resolution. There is banding on gradients and certain times you will look at the screen and make you doubt it.
However, when ICS hits, it'll all be cleared up. It's still the best display that I've sen on an Android phone yet. I returned my Galaxy Nexus for this phone. There is no replacement for sharpness and color accuracy, both of which this phone has.
If coming from an iPhone, you won't be disappointed.
The ppi is definitely negligible, but as a former iPhone 4 user myself, I can assure you the Nitro HD's screen is just as great with the added benefit of being large enough for true HD. I wouldn't ever take an iPhone again. Way too small.

Yea that's exactly the same reason I am switching to android. If the screen is indeed the same quality then I will be very happy to get a Nitro or maybe wait for the Optimus LTE2 as I dont like the Tegra 3 on the 4X.
The coming iPhone 5 is better. If you want to taste ICS android, LTE2 is perfect, for its longer battery life.
I'm getting out of patience with charging the batterys.

I`ve read once that ah-ips is in fact a AFFS matrix. Can anyone proove that or is it wrong?
One interesting variation of IPS is the AH-IPS architecture developed by LG Display. This type of IPS panel uses the AFFS (advanced fringe field switching).

I found AFFS type matrix in only 1 phone in whole world and it is Nokia 5530 2.9"
AFFS panels are mostly utilized in the cockpits of latest commercial aircraft displays. Seems like ours display is only on par to expensive commercial aircraft ones and not to some cheap $h1t pentile amoleds

eh?
what does the "coming iphone 5 is better." mean? of course it will be better, that's the point. why would it be worse? worse than what? the 4? a blackberry? smoke signals?
BUT- it's all rumor and speculation at this point and the screen size is a guess too.
not to mention, it's a year away and no one has even guessed how it will address lte and batt issues with that.
bottomline: certainly a smart phone released a year from now should be better than any phone on the market today.
next, the lte2 is perfect for what? op isn't in korea. and its longer batt life is based primarily on the larger batt, and from what Ive gathered, not on any real sw tweaks.

longer batt life due to S4 Krait based on 28nm, and therefor way too cooler than ours Scorpion, and secondly radio chip is inside of S4 so helps reduce power. Seems like I've get lte2 in my hands sooner than at&t will bring official ICS to light
for LTE2 there's own tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1635089

i've read the thread, hell i commented in it weeks ago.
but I tend not to buy into the marketing that the lte2 is automatically better at handling the battery, i'll wait for some testing.
on the other hand, a batt ~350mAh bigger is an obvious difference.
not saying the phone won't include some break-through batt tech that solves the problem of battery power, but i've yet to see any proof and i tend to distance myself from the pre-release marketing.
The screen on my LG Spectrum is phenomenal when compared to my old AMOLED DROID Incredible. I've also compared my screen to the screen of friends' iPhone 4s and 4Ss. So long as the brightness is roughly equivalent, the LG Spectrum comes out ahead because it is true HD.
Watching Netflix on my phone in HD is awesome and everyone I've shown it to is exceedingly impressed. Even iPhone owners.

This is exactly why I chose lg nitro for my upgrade. I compared displays of samsung, htc, moto razr and iphone. Samsung colors looked non-uniform on the blue side. Moto razr is, well, not much to write home about. Htc, not good either. Iphone's display is very good and normalised and it looks more effective with appke's aesthetic design wrapped around it. But I am an iphone hater (like mac though).
First thing that stands out with Nitro is it's display. Very clear and even. But it's design is same old plastic and mmmehhh..still chose the phone because the display is the best in the current android crop and too good to pass. Put the leaked ics, not the cm9, and you have a neat package. Also, as previous user of cm9, a big shout out to them, they gave the nitro community the first taste of ics which is greatly appreciated.

Is there actually a noticeable difference between CM9 and the leak in terms of display?
Aside from the random blue flash on CM9 and considering my limited time on the leak (~an hour), I'd say no.
The leak is more fluid and customised. But the major positive is the battery life. I had to recharge twice a day using cm9. Now with the leaked version the phone still has some juice left end of the day.
Sent from my LG-P930 using Tapatalk 2
I agree... in order to get decent battery life out of CM9 I've had to switch over to hspa+ and use SetCPU to reduce my CPU speed while the screen is off, as well as manage my wifi well.

ARe you freezing anything or implementing any other tweaks to stock that are giving you this great battery life? I'm not nearly that good when I've tried the leak.
I got rid of all the bloatware. Helped battery life tons
