Engadget's review of the OG Pro.
Nearly all positive. Looks like LG is on the road to respectability. Now if only someone can find a way to get the Pro's camera firmware, among other features, to our OG...
That's a big a$$ phone?

Love the hardware but its just too big for me.. I don't want a mini tablet... hope they make a smaller size as well.
Yeah, I won't be ditching my OG for it, but it's nice to see LG have three top tier phones in a row (counting the N4), and a proper competitor for the Note II. I just hope some of the improved software, in particular the camera firmware, makes it to our OGs one way or another.

Galaxy Note 2 double* (sorry, I know it was probably just a typo)
If you compare the two devices, they look almost 100% identical.
Comparison shot:
Link because it's a big image
When my HTC One X(L) broke, I originally went with the Note 2. However the size and quality of the screen (it looked yellow) convinced me to turn it in for the smaller Optimus G (and also cheaper!). I don't think I could go bigger than the size of Optimus G comfortably.
Maybe I missed something. What was with the antenna at the very end of the video? I didn't see or read anything about that

Agreed, I'm at the limit of what I can do one-handed with this phone. It's actually still a hair too big for my mitts. It isn't comfortable for big stretches and I'm in danger of dropping it when making far corner reaches with one hand. I could never really use anything any bigger, practically, and in a crowd without fear of dropping it sure to the slightest bump.

Our LGOG benchmarked around 21k, so it's faster than the G Pro?

Hi, I have the Optimus G for 2 days, and its a verrrrryyyyy fast device. What are the Quadrant scores you guys get with Note 2. I still have 12 days that I can exchange.
I'm not trying to convince anyone to get a Optimus G. Just want to know opinions from you guy's.
Edit: After using the Optimus G for 5 days its going back. I decided to get the Note 2 can't use anything that is not Super AMOLED. Thanx to all of you for your replies.

Didnt screenshot it but 6200 ish is what I was hitting. I remember my low scores was graphics probably due to the huge screen lol.

Quadrant doesnt really matter. Our phones can handle anything you throw at them..
Questions you should ask yourself when trying to decide is:
Do you like the big screen of the Note II or prefer the LG Optimus G's screen?
Do you like the LG overlay or prefer touchwiz?
Will you be rooting and installing kernals? (Because if you are, im pretty sure the boot loader is locked down on the Optimus G so you wont be able to install kernals)
Do you like the build quality of Samsung or LG?
Do you need the removable battery?
^^^^ Answer these questions and you will most likely know your answer.
Hopefully I helped.
Battery life alone is worth it. I'm at 59% with 2 and a half hours screen on, LTE usage, 15 min voice calls, and 15 min navigation use. Google Now is running and I have sync running constantly. Been off the charger for 10.5 hours. Best battery life ever.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Well, here is my battery life on first full charge. Wifi was always on but only connected for about 6 hours (been gone all day). So LTE drain doesn't appear to be an issue as of yet. Lots of texts. 45 minutes streaming netflix movie over LTE While wife was shopping. Took about 300 pics and 15 minutes of video while at zoo. Lotbof internet and son playing Nova 3 for 35 minutes while driving to zoo. I am simply amazed!
Whatever your choice, don't think you will be disappointed if you do switch.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
I still fail to see why do people care about Quadrant so much. It's like, if a company made a phone which did absolutely nothing but get 15k Quadrant scores people would buy it just for it. The GN2 (and I'm sure the Optimus G too) runs buttery smooth with minimal to none lag. It can run everything you throw at it as good as the Optimus G can.
What you should really ask yourself is if you'd rather have a 5.5 size screen vs a 4.7 sized screen. Not everyone likes the 5.5 screen on the GN2.

I was in the same boat and decided on the note 2.
Mostly because it will have developer support and LG doesn't release software updates often (so I've heard).
IMO they are both great phones, I just like Samsung a bit better.
From everything I have heard...LG doesn't put out updates as often...and doesn't have as much support from developers as the Galaxy line does...No SD card support or S-pen with the LG...but has a better screen...but no practical option for multi-veiw..
For my choice...the advantages of what I am going to do with it...the larger screen...the s-pen...the extra storage...makes the Note II the winner..

I have both phones. The Optimus G is on temporary loan but I've had it for a week or so. It's got a nice heft and I love the rounded edge, but it's an LG. I have worked with their other smartphones in the past and there are always strange little quirks and issues. Not to mention they're horrible track record for releasing updates. This Optimus G has already had problems with the camera not initializing and having to reboot to get it to work. Honestly you wouldn't go wrong with either phone. But I do like the note 2 more. It has a great display, awesome specs, it's just a good all around phone and I suspect there will be a very healthy active developer community. Samsung has already shown that they are able to release updates faster than they have in the past. Maybe it is because cyabogen works for them now. If you really wanted, I could post side by side pictures and benchmarks and stuff like that. What I also like about the Samsung is that it has some added compatibility with other Samsung phones, including the very popular Galaxy S3.

+1. But I still went for the Note II. I handled both at the AT&T store yesterday and am glad I picked up Note II.
I bet the the Note II will have more user development support like roms, kernels, etc than the Optimus G
If the OP is worried with benchmarks, check the sun spider benchmark - the note 2 destroyed the Optimus G (note 2 scores between 1025 and 950 - lower=better) and beats the Optimus G in antutu and several others (look for Engadget review of Nexus 4- shows all major benchmarks between Nexus 4,Optimus G, and Note 2 - Note 2 wins 4 out of 6).
Note 2 has spen (KILLER feature when you use it, so dang useful), excellent battery life, bigger screen (Web page viewing is a pleasure), expandable storage (except for ATT version) , smart stay/rotation features... Such a huge list. Note 2 all the way.
I'm scoring between 6300 and 6500 in quadrant, but I don't give any credence to this score- I find sun spider and antutu more telling of a device's day-to-day performance.

It sounds more like you've already made your decison, since you are asking about if you should Get a certain phone on a forum with an obvious bias (nearly everyone on this GN2 forum has bought it already, so you will pretty much just hear people say get the GN2, because they made that decision, and will probably extend their opinion to you, to justify their own purchase.
TLDR: Don't expect an objective opinion )
That being said. If you like the bigger screen, you will absolutely not be disappointed with the Note 2. I'm sure the Optimus G is pretty good (haven't ever touched one though!) as well, but I can say for sure the Note 2 is one hell of a phone.:victory:

That's not always true. I have an Optimus G, SGS3,Gnote 2, HTC OneX, and many others. The fact that I have all these phones but choose the Gnote 2 as my daily device speaks highly of this phone. I'm not giving my opinion from bias, I'm giving it from having access to most top end phones and when compared side-by-side, the Note 2 is simply superior.

Newer hardware. Better display. Etc.

Do you intend to use the spen? If yes, get the note 2 or wait for the note 3.
I do IT work and always used to write notes in a notebook or quick notes on post-its. When I needed the info later I would have to waste time thumbing through a notebook or looking for a sticky note that I'd lost. Now, everything gets stored on my note and is readily available later.

i would go for the note 2 for sure. all the things that you can do on LG, now you are able to do it with note 2. using Android Paranoid Halo the new version. I bought note 2 because i am in IT business as well and take notes and do many quick things on note 2. Anyway thats my opinion hope it help you.

Mods are probably too busy to delete a single post that really has not broken any rules. When I decide on two phones I .... Read. I compare the specs side by side. Go to the store and play with both. Then I think about how I use the phone and then make the decision based on what I read and how the phone worked in person.

If price is not an issue, then go with the optimus. It has a slightly faster CPU, higher resolution screen, and a better camera
One me variable. If you like to ROM and play with your phone avoid lg. They rarely have much dev support si in sure the Optimus g will be the same

I would say the LG honestly. Way faster, better display, fits in your hand better. Overall just a better phone honestly. I have had the note 2 and just got the LG and I love the LG a lot more.
I have had nothing but terrible luck with LG.
For me, I would stick with what has worked and had awesome experience with Samsung products.
I know the Nexus 4 has sold well, but is vanilla.
I guess the best bet is to head to store and try each one out.
I don't believe the battery last as long in the Optimus G either.

I came from a HTC One. I loved the One but I am a phone whore. Honestly I miss blinkfeed but that's about it. The One is a great phone but I found the screen size too small. I had a note 2 and love it but it was hard to hold and the screen was substandard. The screen on the ogp is gorgeous and their UI is fast and extremely customizable out of the box. And though it is a 5.5 inch screen, the design of the phone and the thinner bezel make it much easier to hold. Battery life was iffy at first but after a few days it hunkered down and I can easily get through a day with 3+ hours of screen time.
I don't think I'll ever buy another Samsung phone again but we will see about HTC. The One Maxx has my interest peaked. But overall the ogp is the best phone nobody knows about.

I am tempted but I probably stay at with the LG G Pro because removable battery is nice to have. And also the removable memory. I know for some it isn't a big deal but it is a pain when the battery in a phone goes bad and you have to swap out the whole device rather then just the battery. Happened to me on 2 devices with non removable battery. So I told myself not to switch back to a non removable battery device. But the G2 is a very good device.

The G2 is a sweet phone but I love the bigger screen of the G Pro. I already have a 5" s4 active and started using that as my main until we were blessed with all these new ROMs (thanks to our amazing devs! ) Now its hard to go back to screen size like that. For me at least. I really want the G Pad when it comes out though I miss having an actual tablet. My next phone will probably be a Note 3 though maybe a few weeks after launch. I love my little s4 so it makes me want the giant version lol.

I'm not sure why anybody would want to switch from a G Pro to a G2, or any of the upcoming flagship phones for that matter. The only real competitor to the G Pro is the Note 3, and unless you're made of money, the G Pro is a considerably better bang for the buck. The rest...do you seriously need that Snapdragon 800? That's about the only advantage they all have, and you're actually downgrading on the screen size. So many of them won't have removable batteries or SD card slots as well (Xperia Z1, Nexus 5, G2, Xiaomi MI3). I'm actually amazed LG took out the removable battery and SD slot from the G2, given the G Pro had both, and the G2 does not sport some kind of premium unibody design like the Optimus G/Nexus 4 had. The Xperia Z1 has a better camera by pixel count, but again do you really need that?
Of course if you want a physically smaller phone...than by all means, trade in. I feel set for a while myself, especially once development ramps up just a bit more.
Not for me!
I'm keeping my G Pro. I'm not gonna downgrade my screen size from 5.5" to 5.2".
In fact, G2 has only 5" of actual viewable screen due to the fcuking On-Screen Button on pages and in most apps!
That's a massive 0.5" in reduction.
...and, do you wanna play games with the fcuking On-Screen Button stays on the side likes this! That sucks!

Simple Answer: No
I was kinda of a HTC snob. Now I have been converted. The Note 3 is a beast of a phone.
You can add SDcard and has removal battery. HTC dropped that on the One. That is one of the issues that made me change to Samsung.

I have the htc one and the lg optimus g pro. I don't really like Samsung devices, my wife has the note 2 but from what I've been hearing the n3 is badass. Does anyone regret ever getting it?

No, and the note 2 is still the second best phone ever made, abs also a beast.

Absolutely not. The only thing I'm "getting used to" is the size, but that's one of the reasons I bought it. After I got stuck with the One S for almost two years, one of my many complaints with that POS was thinking it was too small after initially thinking the size was prefect.
But the main reasons I switched to the Note 3, after giving up on Samsung after the GS2 was a complete letdown, was the hardware. No other phone offers all of this, sure you can get most of it here, some of it there, but this is the only phone right now with it ALL. 3GB of RAM, 1080p, 2.3GHz Quad core Snapdragon 800, 32GB internal memory WITH SD slot, 3200mAh battery, S-Pen etc. And the improvements to the S-Pen's usefulness are significant, so if your wife's Note 2 didn't impress you, don't let that deter you from the Note 3.
Please keep all comparison, other device, upgrades, off topic conversation to the proper thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46091506
