Switching with a friend giving him fifty and my s3 will I miss it? What will I miss I don't care about removable memory

Why a fifty? These are equal phones in my opinion.
Sent from my super fast Optimus G!!!
I only miss the camera but other than that no I'm completely happy with this phone
You could buy this phone for what you'd eBay your s3 for. Should be even Stephen swap

Thats true nevermind I think ill reconsider the 50 so the camera on the lgog isn't to gkks?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
It's good enough for my purposes. It's technically more megs but less software. I think it's still excellent. Phones aren't meant to be amazing photo takers. But the clarity of the screen kills the S3.

Just posting a question as I want to know and hear if anyone is even contemplating on making a switch? I'm no iPhone fanboy and think the Samsung Galaxy S 3 surpasses the iPhone 5 on many levels. :good:
Edit: The title states Samsung Galaxy S II but I meant III
I am but i will keep my sg3 as well as my one x.

How dare you. This is an insult to the galaxy s2 which despite being a little old, is way better than the iPhone 5

I won't be switching to the iPhone 5 because I love T-Mobile, I love tinkering with Android, and because I love my SIII.
However, everyone keeps going on about how it looks the same as the 4s and I just can't agree with this. Yes, the front looks the same (just longer) but they really have updated the features that I hated about the 4/4s. For example, I thought it was ridiculous that they made the back of the 4 and 4s glass. It looked lame and was just one more piece to easily break. I also didn't like the silver bezel (not a fan of it on the SIII either).
Now that the bezel is black and the back of the phone is no longer glass, I am actually a fan of it. I especially like that it is a bit thinner than the 4/4s and skinnier than the SIII.
If I was a big iTunes user, needed my phone to seamlessly work with my Macbook Pro (Android sucks at this), and enjoyed the simplicity of IOS I would probably get it. But I'm definitely sticking with Android. The SIII is the most solid phone I've ever owned.
Apple says the gs3 basically is an iPhoneso I got the best iPhone already

True that the SGS 3 might be like the iPhone 5, but I would take the SGS 3 over the 5 any day. The only nice thing I like about the 5 is the aluminum body and how solid it feels (if its anything like the 4). Other than that, they can have it

The S2 is a better phone spec wise (other than a lower resolution screen) and most importantly, it has proper developer support. In my opinion, it's not worth trading the S2 for an L9.
I didn't think so either after looking at the specs

Thoughts? Much better phone?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Probably not, idk how good the dev support is over in rezound land but I recently upgraded to a GS3 from my inc2 and seeing that the dev support for the inc is slowing down the s3 was a great switch. Are you contract upgrading or buying it used?

Buying it used been on the forums and heard battery life is crap so guess I won't be buying one

My upgrade is in may & i'll likely be getting the sgs III
A good option for a used phone would probably be a galaxy nexus if you're into aosp, there cheap and would last you a good year or so.

Rezound is better than Galaxy Nexus. Better camera and processor

I haven't heard too much good come out of the rezound. But I really haven't had hands on with it. I stuck with my DInc 2 till I got sick of the viper Rom I got stuck with. Went and bought a DNA love it.

All I can say is wow. The display is beautiful just amazingly clear and sharp. The S4 Pro Krait is just a work horse. In the last month I did a few trades. S3, Evo lte, iphone 5 and lastly the Note 2. I found a winner and the phone feels great in the hands. Build quality is top notch. Looking forward to jellybean.

i traded in my photon for the G. absolutely loving this thing so far!
Omg note 2 is worth so much more than lgog I hope you got money on top of that trade.

Ya at first I thought amoled screens were the be all, end all. As soon as I saw LGOG I was like wow. Everything is so crisp and colors were natural. Did a lil research on the screen and it turns out that it's 100% RGB accurate. My laptop has IPS and its only 60%ish.

I love this phone. Even bone stock it kicks other phones in the nuts! Rooted or not. Hands down best Android I've owned so far.

As much as I love my LGOG I still think my Note 2 is a far superior phone no matter which way you slice it.
Not to mention the LGOG is very unpopular and people are pretty much giving them away on eBay for under 300 bucks so like someone already mentioned, I hope you got some cash in return for your Note.

Not really sure about that. It's running an outdated chipset, but the only thing going for it is that massive battery.

Outdated? I still get quantum scores equal and sometimes better then the OG. I agree the Qualcomm processor is better then the Tegra 3 but a phone is more than just its chip.
My LG suffers from weak 4g signal. Wifi connection doesn't seem as smooth as with my Note 2. An example is web pages don't load as fast as my Note 2. Lets not even discuss the camera and video playback.
You want to talk about software features? I think not. S-pen? Let me stop there.
LG, nice screen nice chipset. I give it that.

What ever chip it has weather its old or new, the thing performs great. I could show you some quantum scores if you want.
Like I said the lg optimus G has a great chip I won't argue that. But unfortunately a great chip doesn't help with a lot of the other Corky stuff my LG does.
They will get it right with the LG Optimus G pro

The note 2 is cool and all and popular but I didn't want a phablet anymore. It was huge and just wanted to get rid of it ASAP even swap I didn't care. Hardware wise the lgog is king of android IMO. Just think of the performance with JB. LG did great with this phone and I'm very pleased I just love the fit in the hands. I'm sure we will see some bug fixes the phone has only been out a minute. BTW the s3 feels fragile in the hand maybe because of the plastics.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I look at it the opposite as you. I feel like Samsung will get it right with the Note 3. The screen is blurry and blue, its made of crap materials, it has an obsolete processor, hugh bezel and a stupid hardware button.

That's all you could really say. I don't think anyone hear, said anything bad about the phones chip.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium HD app
Not sure why you are even comparing the G to the Note 2. The Note 2 is in the Phaglet category and the G is in the Phone category. But, if you do want to compare... the G has better build quality, premium materials, better screen(true rgb and higher pixel count), better processors, better(not bigger or removable) battery and better one handed use. That's a lot of "betters".

I believe you meant" here". And the screenie was an indirect way to say "I'm satisfied with my LGOG, no complaints here." I have nothing negative to say as they're both fine devices in their respective classes.

So, my pal and I have considered swapping phones. He has an Optimus G and I currently have a GS3. Both our phones are little more than a month old.
Any of you regret going with the Optimus instead of the GS3? From a hardware point of view, seems the LG trumps my GS3. Development seems a little low in comparison, but that's not too important to me. Mainly I need to be able to USB tether. Is this an option for me? I know WiFi tether is, but USB?
Thanks for any input, options, etc..I appreciate it.

I have used the S3 before coming to LG OG and trust me you will not regret it. Just go for it! one of the best phones i have ever used. Not gonna change for some time now!

I ditched my OG to get a GS4. Haven't regretted it for a second. The OG isn't a bad phone by any means, but the camera is just wretchedly awful by comparison. The GS4 has a much better screen too. If the camera isn't a big deal to you, though, the OG is still a surprisingly great phone.
