[Q] Is it worth to buy Note II - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all!
I really like Note II, more precisely, this is what I was looking for. But now I'm beginning to doubt because of:
1. CPU - soon there will be many phones with Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro and in Internet you can found a lot of videos showing his superiority over Exynos 4412
2. Camera - I mean it costs 699 euro and has only 8 Megapixels camera while other phones that will soon appear on the market have 10+ Megapixels cameras. I don't take pictures so much, but if I have to pay 699 euro, I just want a really good camera.
You can disagree with me, but I would just like to hear other people's opinion =)
Thanks!

The note series is what your really paying for..no other manufacture has Samsung Pen functionality development..so in short if you want specs then wait for the optimus g..s4 pro..but for sure it will not have the note 2 pen.

When you're talking about technology there will always, literally ALWAYS, be something better just on the horizon. If you need a new phone, buy the best you can right now. if not, wait for the next one.

Lol talking about optimus G... Yeah if you want specs and stay in ICS for ever go for it xD...
LG its worst company in the planet when talking about upgrading the software of their devices.. They are so bad doing so that the upcoming optimus VU 5"screen LG devices its coming out with ginger bread.. LOL

camera resolution isn't everything.
I've read some comments about how at least some of those 13mp camera phones take rather blurry and grainy pictures.
sharp colorful 8mp pictures are better than blurry brownish 13mp pictures.

If the lack of an SD card slot doesn't faze you then the LG will probably suit you better. LG have a bad reputation for updates but they have said that the Optimus G will get Jelly Bean soon. I doubt they would leave their flagship on ICS for long after hyping it up so much before its release but who knows.

Also, if those videos were benchmark tests then you shouldn't focus on them too hard. They don't represent real, day to day use. I'm sure the Note 2 will still be a significant improvement on your current handset.
Provided you don't have a GS3 anyway..

Lol seriously, last year LGs flagship was the optimus 2x ie G2x and the last update it got was gingerbread, which normally wouldnt be an issue but with a tegra chip that devs cant support without official drivers your stuck with that last official update, ill never by a LG product again.

Price in europe

Hello,
I want to buy a lg optimus g,
Does anyone know how much the device costs in euros?
And what is your experiences with this phone.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
In the UK it's around £350 off contract, converted to euros it's about 435 euros, more or less. (about $550)
Personally I love this device, awesome screen, great camera capability, lag free (2gb ram obviously helps, along with the quad core 1.5ghz processor), browsing/games/apps are a treat. If you don't mind the huge screen, then this is a very good phone for you. Personally I prefer this over the galaxy note 2... Good luck and enjoy (if you decide to buy it).

Hey Guys
Sorry for OT but im From Europen too, my 'Problem' is i want to buy a new Smartphone in One Month.
I'm not sure what i want to buy
I see Note 2 --> i test this for 3 Weeks / Very good Phone.
Then is there the Optimus G. Very nice one too.
But there is a Test-Video on YouTube (Optimus G vs. Galaxy S3) from Android Authority.
In this Test the Optimus G had an much worse Camera then S3 (Pictures & Videos).
Because of this, im not sure. Without this 'Bug' its better then the Note (Hardware).
Can you confirm this?
Is Camera fast Like Note 2?
Last but not Least: HTC DNA (in Europe ... when it comes ... HTC Deluxe DLX)
Highlight is the Screen: 440 ppi
And the Hardware is approximately same like Optimus G.
Or shuld i wait after CES in Las Vegas. I dont know
What do you think?
OT Ends

my advice,if you care about the camera,you should not think about LG...though I myself is a LG user,I have to say that LG's camerais just soso...maybe worse...
though it's a 13.0 M pixels,pictures taken by it is worse than the N7100
wait...if you want to buyan international version,the 8.0 Mpixels camera on att&Canada version is much butter than the 13.0 M on Korea version,youmay find some pictures taken by others on xda
despite the camera,it's the best phone that I've ever used
hope this will help you to buy your favorite phone

Well, cant see any real difference between Note 2 in case of camera, but personally i think Note2 is more wise choice, just cause of usability and strong battery.
Btw korean version of optimus G has a really annoying issue - cause of the way it designed, the camera lense easy to get dirty and hard to clean, so usually there a lot of blur and distortion on images.
Ah, and the main issue of the camera - the autofocus logic really differs from other phones - you must tap tge screen to get the camera focused.
Man who designed it, should be executed immediately.
Now im Waiting after the 6. December. Maybe we will see something new from the HTC Deluxe for Europe.
Hope it will had an stronger Battery then US & Korean Version (2100 mah).
After this, i watch witch Phone i want to buy. All 3 Phone are very Good.
So i stop the OT here and BTT sry
Hope Lg Optimus G is soon available in Europe.

Optimus g pro another 5.5inch phablet

Another 5.5 inch phablet, what do you guys think ?

I think $897 is ridiculous. Nothing really impressive other than the screen. For me... pass.
i like how lg made it so similar to our note 2
I wouldn't mind seeing that screen slapped on Note 2. Coming from higher PPI land (old phone was Evo 4G LTE), I can see slight fuzziness of the text on Note 2. But I love colors. Other than that, I think I would hold on to my Note 2 for quite some time.
No S-Pen = just another cellphone.
It's the first phone to feature the Snapdragon S600, which is significantly faster than the S4 pro.
The bezel is better than our device , but I still love my s-pen and its xing

401PPI ??? Wow that combined with the 1080 display must blow the note 2 display out of the water.
It's gonna be a very nice phone. I hope tmobile carries it.

loooks a lot like a note 2 doesnt it?
A few things jump out at me about the G Pro but the price is just atrocious... getting 500 out of me for the GNII was hard enough and to think GNII prices will surely dip once this $900 device hits the streets.
If nothing else but a marketing ploy, Samsung will provide the GNII just as the "cheaper, adequate" alternative (this time it really will be adequate).
Ultimately the smart buyer will go with the GNII, and Samsung will just "hedge" every LG or other Manufacturers "bet" by fluctuating their price accordingly.. lets face it, even at full price 700 is better than 900, and whenever LG does a sale, Samsung can afford to counter.
It will be a while before the GNII becomes obsolete, to the point where it has to be sold cheaply to gain sales

It looks nice and the specs are tip-top, but if it's got the glass back it's a non-starter.
meh, I like Samsung products better. Also I'm addicted to the SuperAMOLED displays.
Samsung will sink this with their next version of the Note, and that's most likely what I'll get after my Note 2.
I hope the price is a misprint. That is a crazy amount for a phone with marginally better specs.

Which Do I Buy? Note 3 or OGP?

i was thinking abt getting the OGP.. but seeing how the note 3 has unique features and more power, i'm thinking abt getting the note 3.. wat do u guys think?

Well note 3 has more power slightly bigger screen some more features. And is also roughly 300 more dollars. So it is ur call. The OGP is a great phone u won't be dissapointed specially for the money u can buy it. I won't switch to Samsung any time soon. Since the screen is much better on the OGP. And the OGP doesn't feel so big and wide like the Note 2 or Note 3. So it is ur call. Just try them both and decide.

i dont think the note 3 is wider than the OGP.. from wat i read and seen, the OGP is wider.
Took out my Lg Optimus G Pro and did a side by side webpage load this Friday at the att store around my house. To my surprise my phone was loading faster than the note 3. Did more test on different pages. Did WiFi and LTE and the same results. Huuuum! The only thing the Note 3 had was a better looking screen. As for games I don't play them. So the Note 3 might be better in this aspect. Pen is a plus. It is thinner to. Better screen. So I decided to keep my phone. As for you, your call!
Screen is preference. Because actually the lg screen is more accurate to colors and not so unreal in colors. Better in direct sunlight is the LG G Pro too. Direct sunlight isn't the friend of amoload screens and Samsung did already better on the note 3 screen but amoload screens are also known from image burnin and shatter box display of blacks when we watching movies. But it got a lot better on the note 3 screen. Also touch wix is pretty laggy. That's why the note 3 seems so laggy.

If you care about development, you should wait before jumping onto Note3. I'm getting one but I'm keeping my OGP. The note3 already has a giant wall infront of development unless you get the International unlocked model. It's called KNOX.

There's a huge difference in price. The OGP at AT&T is $439, $99 on upgrade. The Note 2 is $574, $199 on upgrade. The Note 3 is $724, $299 on upgrade. I really can't see anything in the Note 2 or 3 that warrants spending that much more money on it.
You also have to consider Samsung's support compared to LG. And we all know that here on XDA, Samsung devices are well supported by devs. It's the happiest place to be in.

the diff in accuracy betweeen the 2 screens is slight.. i checked out the note 3 alomg side the OGP.. the screens looked crisp and identical. and the note 3 looks better on direct sumlight according to a few reviewers.
Sorry i did the comparison at least 10 times with wifi and LTE with a representative of AT&T standing right there. My phone loaded faster than the note 3. Was kind of like "what". I did take the thermal coupling off of my phone. Wondering if that made it faster?

Well it seems u already made up ur mind. Then go with the note 3. No matter what we say from out personal experience u need to make it own choice. Others and I think that the OGP is a great device and there is no need to pay so much more for only a few improvements or some extras that u basically get with software as well. And actually not to worry on how long I have a picture on the screen to not get imagine burn in like u get on a amoled screen is nice too. But u decide for urself. Go with whatever males u happy.

I didn't compare it but already sites like android authority and other did. And they I just stated what they said. And ppl already compared the g2 with the note 3 and again the lg g2 seemed faster. It is just a known fact that touch wiz is somewhat buggy and laggy. It just is what it is. And that amolad screens have not as good direct sunlight visibility and also burnin is a known fact too. Other then that u really just have to see what u like more but also test said that the screen on the g pro and g2 are the best on the market as of now and since the note 3 is based on the s4 the screen won't beat the one of the g pro or g2. But I think u can't go wrong with either of the phones. Just u get more for a small amount of money on the G Pro compared to the note 3. That is double as much on money and only offers a few more things. If really any because both have there advantages and shortcomings.

I just compared my LGOG Pro to a Note 3 in shop......it felt really light to me i don't know maybe the weight distribution......screen is really clear and I had GS3 before so 1080p loked nice...i don't have problem with the colors......the back felt really nice and soft in hand...although the side chrome didn't look very nice to me
also the stylus felt really nice and writing was very accurate and smooth..........i really want to buy it but its too expensive at the moment and i hope it comes down soon also by then we have some really nice support...
also im in South Korea so I did actually use it
Yeah the real thing is that the price differential makes it a deal breaker. If it had been only $150 of difference you could have been suggested to go ahead. $300 is too much you can get 2 brand new nexus 7 2012 models for that or the one New 3g 2013 model $300.

OGP is better because of the price and that is the fact for most people. There is a reason why this thread was created and named LG OG Pro not Samsung Note 3. This is not a place to ask which device is better, people will say OGP is better in this forum because we choose this device over other phone. If you want to find out about comparison you can try website like gsmarena or android authority, in fact there are a lot of youtube videos that does that, simple as that unless you want to start a flame war.

[Q] Optimus G, Nexus 4 or S3 LTE?

Hello guys! I have recently decided to buy a new phone, and after some searching on the internet, I cannot decide between the following phones (they all have the same price from where I buy them): Optimus G, Nexus 4 and Galaxy S3 LTE. I would go for the nexus because of the fast updates coming from Google and the powerful hardware, but I don't like that it has the buttons on the screen and I would really like an LTE phone because it is more future reliable. I like the Optimus G and the S3, but I can't decide between them. I like both interfaces, they have similar hardware, and also the storage is much bigger. I don't think that the Nexus has enough storage and I am afraid that Optimus G won't receive many updates. I mean it's stuck on 4.1.2 for quite a long...
So, in conclusion, I would like a phone that will receive updates (like 4.4 kitkat) and that has a nice interface and powerful hardware. So which one should I choose? Thank you in advance.

if lte is a must S3 has better camera
if camera is not an issue optimus G
you can always use cyanogenMod for future updates.
I say the S3 cos it has the most customizability. If there's any thing u don't like. U can change it. Also. The S3 is the best for gaming, has the best camera, and it is more well known. Which means anytime u want to know something about your phone. Search it up and I almost guarantee that you'll find it. Oh yeah. People have started to repair soft bricked and hard bricked Samsung Galaxies. Whereas other phones don't get that kinda support. (Geez I'm acting like I'm in a dam commercial).

I would like yto have lte because it seems more future proof and soon it will ne available in my city. i also heard that s3 has a poor quality built.
No s3 lte. Is worse than normal s3. Nexus4 or G. But n4 has no lte. It's a big deal,i see you're from romania. If you think 8/16gb are enough and you want the latest android on your phone,but no lte,then buy the n4. If you don't care about that,but you still want 32gb of storage,a sturdy device,with flawless lg ui(it's way lighter and better than samsung's tw),with a more than decent camera,lte connection,then go for the g. Make sure it will be e975. Other models will not have 4g in romania.

S3 doesn't have poor built quality, its the material used what people bugged about.
if you are in US, S3 will be a dualcore with 2GB ram, rest of the world its quad core with 1GB ram, left the LTE version i9305 which is quadcore + 2GB RAM. so search your options.

Hi,
2 months ago I also had the same issue and went for the Optimus G. I left out the N4 because the 16GB maximum storage and the lack of LTE. Regarding the S3, from the hardware point of view, I don’t think it can compete with the OG.
OG
Slighty better CPU
Much better GPU
Better display (at least for me; colors more realistic)
Better materials; feels more robust
S3
Some say it has better camera (however, for a smartphone, my only complaint about the OG’s camera has to do with the autofocus. It's not a big deal but sometimes it gets a little erratic. I don't know about the S3; OG E975 has 13Mpx)
Lighter (the consequence of the materials used)
Probably better support regarding ROM updates (let’s hope LG has learned from their mistakes)
However, you can always opt for a custom ROM. OG is not as popular as S3 but you can easily confirm here at XDA that you have many options for OG. I’m still using LGOG original ROM (E97510H-EUR-XX) and it’s very fast and stable, even with 100+ apps installed.

Just my 2 cents on the display... S3 has a Super AMOLED screen, while OG has an IPS LCD. People's opinions on the differences are quite polarized, but in my book a good LCD beats AMOLED anytime, hands down. More realistic colours, less "cartoonish". And the display on OG is just awesome -- I have a couple S3 owners commenting on how surprised they were about it.

once you use a good super amoled plus you will never ever want to go anywhere no matter how greater the LCD screen is, but if you are like me or someone who don't like too vibrant colors (most people like vibrant color) newer LCD's specially from LG are very very Good.
also remember Samsung has altered the display of S4 and now S3 via software update to give you option to make is realistic color and many didn't realize this and never tried it.
Note:
people also doesn't know amoled has a very short life span vs the LCD panels, and this lifespan is about the color reproduction not the working life. so a 2 year old amoled screen will look terrible in-front of a new amoled and more than 2 year old amoled will give you strange color balance, many doesn't know this and say amoled is Sh=t.
Samsung set the standard with those over saturated colours. Being the no1 player on the market,the average user take for granted this is how a screen should be like. And the other manufacturers play samsung's game too. Take lg for example,although we have ips lcd,the coulours ARE in fact a litle over saturated. So,mentioning the colours is irrelevant. I would go for sunlight visibility,which is better for lg. The materials,also a plus for g. S3 lte has about the same custom support like our g. And i said it before,neck to neck,the kicks the butt of s3 lte.

Optimus g is better in everything but camera.
Anyway camera isnt much worse, just a little bit.

IMHO yes, it's great value for such little price, but camera sucks badly. Other things are still very good, screen is one of the best so far and desing looks as elegant as 2 years ago. Of course it all depends on your preferences.
Better Nexus 4 or 5.
if the Nexus 4 is avaible its the better option.

If the choice is between these two devices, I'd say definitely yes. The things against the OG are the camera (but honestly, it's quite decent, and not THAT bad as you might hear from some people -- my picture quality improved greatly after just cleaning the lens cover from the inside ), and the lack of an SD card slot. In every other aspect, technically and aesthetically, OG is a better phone, IMO. I love my OG!

"When I am given a choice of two options, I pick the third one". Frankly, N4 suggestion is questionable, to say the least, unless you are a die-hard Android purist. I personally didn't own an N4, but based on what I hear from people I know, everybody who had a chance to compare the two side by side, prefer the OG (not talking about the retail price here, of course). N5, however, is just not a fair comparison to either OG, or SGS3, or N4...
Thanks guys,Nexus 4 has only 16gb storage which is worse for me so i was looking for SGS III but its quiet expensive for me.
Lg OG is quiet bad in camera but I hearded that its camera quality can be improved by flashing AOSP Roms(Cyanogenmod,Carbon etc).Is that right ?
LG OG users,
Is this device is better in terms of gaming(especially in Graphics) ?
and
does it supports Slow-Motion Video recording ?

Since nexus 5 is so cheap, i would save up for it. Camera is good, if you dont have sun in front of camera...Light ruins every photo. No matter how strong or weak it is, it will ruin every photo you want to take indoors. Outdoors its okaai. In terms of gaming, this lil dude runs everything i want. It definately beats Samsung galaxy s3 in everything, but camera and sound. Display is amazing, and looks are nice too.
About slow-motion videos..idk. Stock camera doesnt have this function.
In short, it all depends from your budget and the price you can get the Optimus G for.

Gaming on the LG Optimus G is perfect! It supports medium to high graphics. From what I've seen, because I've played a lot of games on it, every game runs smooth with good graphics, like Real Racing 3 and like about a month ago, I started playing Blitz Brigade. Great games and good graphics. Price per performance, I find the LG Optimus G perfect! I am now on Kitkat made from LG. Stable, smooth, no lag/slowdowns at all and no crashes. Camera improved a lot since Kitkat. And you get 32GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, Adreno 320(Still great). It can run any emulator at full speed, except for Dolphin Emulator(Stays black and then crashes because of bad drivers) and PPSSPP(depending on the game).
And no.. It doesn't have Slow-Motion Video recording.. It has the capabilities, because the Xiaomi Mi2 can record up to 120fps at 480p and 720p at 60-90fps and has the same Qualcomm APQ8064. I mean, it should.. But it doesn't
No, there are better and cheaper devices out there already. I would go for the 4g moto G, for a good as it, or to the g3 to the best I think it's available.

Moto G has the best 5mp pictures I'd seen, has a processor that's running at the same clock beats the n4/og, has a screen that fits better in hands, and got all official updates one month after aosp sources were released. In theory it beats the og in all comparisons, apart from the theoretical one. Newer mid range how always beat older high end one. The prove is that three years ago the s2 and the atria were the best, now any **** is better than both.

Our phone is good, I'm just saying it isn't worth anymore. It has two years in the marked and there's a lot of better stuff cheaper. And I made the tests myself, the moto G is able to do everything the Og does fast as it is able. Remember also os something, snapdragon pro is a quad-core cortex a15 snapdragon 200 from 2012. Obsolete. If you want to spend money, spend in something with less than 6 months of market availability. Or not, you money, your choice.

Yeah sure, is really smart to buy a 2012 flagship instead of a 2014 mid-range which is faster, better, cheaper and also has more support time. Don't get me wrong. But the log is totally obsolete compared to newer devices, even some mid-ranges. Even the s4 mini is faster and smoother than the lgog...
I'm not saying it isn't good, just saying that if you want a flagship device, buy one new, not one outdated and almost unsupported by the oem.
Enviado de meu LG-E975 usando Tapatalk
whatever.
anyway i don't regret selling my moto g for this beast. im glad im not obsessed over the "latest" snapdragon chip lol
when i was at the store i grabbed both the g1 and g2 but this one is more than i need. and the g2 is now "obsolete" anyway :lol:
