Yeah!
Since G2 is here. I hope that LG will push 4.2 to G Pro soon.
I'm tempted to get the G2 as a second device. I just got my phone but like it too much to get rid of it just yet but the lack of updates is kind of disappointing.
Overall, I think that the G Pro is still a better phone than G2!

The only thing I would really like from the G2 is the OIS on the camera and the double tap to wake.
I hope the awesome devs will be able to port that feature (double tap) across to the OGP from the G2.
(or LG to include it as part of 4.2.2 or 4.3 update. Crossing fingers!!!)

Hmm. I don't like the G2. Like my OGP better but I want 4.2 on it. I also want the camera on the G2 and the new software features. The lack of removable battery and no sd card are deal breakers for me.
I won't buy a phone that I can't change the battery, period.

I think If it will be ported display would not go to sleep ever and battery of G Pro will drain very quick.
I definitely will sell G Pro and buy G2, G Pro is outdated compared to G2, bud it has bigger 5,5" screen, the only one reason to keep G Pro. Everything else is already noncomparable
G pro still exceeds in MMC & removal battery dept.
Comparison :
Screen Same :
Ram : Same.
Processor : Not a huge difference in practical situation - no temptation to change.
Volume key placement : Verrrrrrrrryyyyy Odd , Will wait to see in hands before I can give any words on it.
camera : Improved with OIS & 60 FPS. Niceee.
New themes :------ We will get It.
Touch wake screen : -----Nice but battery eater.
Flip Style window cover: we will get it for sure.
Upgrade 4.2.2: We will get it , May be 6 months later.
Last few software features : Porting can be done easily. Just waiting for someone to post rom Image Now.

Google Experience
The pricing and feature set of the OG Pro really is incredible, so much so that it even maintains competitiveness with future phones like the G2. The only reason I haven't replaced my N7000 with one is because of the rumors that there may be a G2-based Nexus 5.
My main reason for switching phones will be to get better dev/AOSP support, and the only reason I don't already have a Nexus phone is Google hasn't made one with a huge screen. The OG Pro is amazing, but the dev support right now is almost nonexistent.
It really is crazy that this phone isn't far more popular.
Well if the FCC news is accurate, other carriers are about to get the G Pro. So maybe then there will be more clientele in terms of a community.

That's always the curse of carrier exclusive phones, it limits popularity & therefore limits dev support. But I think we'll start seeing development pick up.

There was a posting on engadget.com this morning of leaked info of the LG nexus thats come out. I hope that, thats not the only model cause according to the article it stated that it only had 8gb of internal storage and fixed battery and NO sd expansion. Total deal breakers! Also has the 8mp camera not the 13mp sony based lens that the optimus G comes with.

I'm glad your LG rep is actually worth a darn. Ours always came around and talked up the LG products but never knew much about them. We got some laughs when he told us Apple stole the iPhone design from LG. And honestly, they might have. But this guy was 1000% LG is better than everything, regardless of what it was.
Never gave us any insight on oncoming updates or new releases or anything, but he'll argue with you til you're blue in the face if you tell him a Samsung TV is better than an LG for any reason given.
Good news? You mean great news. But I am betting 3-4 weeks. I really want to be proved wrong. Jb update means new stuff to not be bored for a few weeks. Then it mean jb source and new stuff to not be bored for a long time. This phone could beat my 6 month record for a phone!

It doesn't show a lot, but some of the features there look pretty slick. I liked the translate feature from the Camera, that looks pretty awesome.
EDIT: Do you think that this is due to the Optimus G Pro announcement? The two phones seem very similar and it makes sense that rolling out the one device with JB at the same time that they are updating the other is logical and fairly easy, right? Or am I stuipd? (see what I did there?)
Yeah that makes sense actually. I think the specs are relatively the same for both devices (obviously Pro is a bit faster and powerful, but I think besides the bump in clock speed, everything else is the same), and even then, I've heard the phones are the same but the Pro is just overclocked with the same processor. Here's an excerpt from the Engadget article when the Pro was announced:
There's now a quicker, 1.7GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro chip, a heftier 3,000mAh battery and Jelly Bean (albeit Android 4.1, not 4.2) out of the box. Other elements are familiar carryovers, such as the 2GB of RAM, 13-megapixel camera, 32GB of built-in storage, a microSDXC slot and LTE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So looks like the same chip, so my guess would be that it's just overclocked, so hopefully the Jelly Bean update will come soon. I think the Pro is set to release in April...hope they don't keep us waiting that long
http://androidos.in/2013/01/lg-optimus-g-worldwide-roll-out-begins-with-jelly-bean-on-board/
Looks like this might have something to do with it as well. The standard OG is rolling out to 50 countries with JB pre-loaded.

Both mid-range devices. And both with Jelly Bean. I'm hoping this is more signs we should see the update soon.

I see these same things about bad updates on every phone I've ever owned. When I had the thunderbolt everyone complained about htc. Then I had the droid charge and everyone complained about Samsung. The way I see it at this point is I don't buy a phone unless its good enough to begin with because you can't count on updates unless you buy nexus. Now every update I get is just a cool bonus. I love my optimus g though and I'm sure the devs here are going to do great things.

LG Optimus F7 = LG LTE III
I have ordered one from Chinese dealer. It will arrive in a few days.
The design seems very nice and even better than Optimus G. For one it just costs about 350 USD.
And also it includes a 2540mah battery, True HD IPS mon, MSM8960, 2G ram.
All reviews I saw show positive feedbacks. I suggest those who like the above feature should try.
I've been trying to find a store that sells optimus f5 ever since it was "released" in France, but I haven't been able to find a single store (in EU) that has this phone in stock. Has anyone actually seen this phone in the wild, available to general public?
I'd really love to get this phone because I absolutely detest huge screens of current "flagship phones", but sadly I can't fine one to buy.

official optimus f5 is in store in Hong Kong. it is nice but the screen is really not as good as the f7's true HD IPS. i don't get it there should be normally many dealers from china who would ship these phone to europe and us. maybe it's all the high tax making it not available in some areas.
Can someone please tell the type GPU of F7. I don't know weather it can play games like MC4, FIFA12 & other big games smoothly.

I'd go with the G2 just to have a faux Nexus 5, very much like how our LGOG is a faux Nexus 4. But the M8 does look quite sexy, and you can always throw AOSP on that once the dev team steps up. Logically I'd say go with the M8 for it being the latest and greatest, but for ROM purposes I'd say the G2 wouldn't be a bad choice either.
Or, you could flip a coin and let fate decide. I usually do that when I'm really stuck between something, lol.

I was thinking that, but looking at specs, it doesn't seem to be so much better to warrant the price difference.
I read that the LG G2 has serious issues with ASOP roms. I may be getting a new phone and that would be a deal breaker.
EDIT: maybe not serious problems but that kinda put me off also resale value of the new HTC one!
The HTC one 2014 still has 4 MegaPixel camera. Keep that in mind. I would say G2 for camera and AOSP ROMs will get better in time. Plus the UI is pretty nice on G2. One has beautiful UI, but lacks camera. Honestly is it up to you. If you use camera on phone, I would go G2. If camera isn't important, look at One.

Just make sure Cyanogenmod supports the one you want.

My friend has a htc one max. Picture quality is better than this phone in low light, and the same in good lighting. BTW its 4 ultrapixel .

I'm in the same situation. I'm renewing my contract by end of April. I was already decided about the G2 but came the M8. I don't really use the camera on my phone that often, because I prefer shooting with my Olympus camera. The design of the M8 is just so sexy, but I'm drawn back to the G2 when thinking about the battery. So confused!

I would wait for the Note 4....The rumored specs are CRAZY!!
Or go with the Note 3....it's a GREAT phone.
Not to sure about the G2 or G3

I will never buy an LG phone again. 1 significant update in the 1.5 years for the LG OG is pathetic.
The Dev community has been great, but ASOP does not have conversation view and encryption does not work on LGOG CM
I purchased the M8 and have no regrets. I was concerned about the camera but the pictures have been a lot better then the LG OG in low light.
I would not purchase the G2.

The HTC one 2014 still has 4 MegaPixel camera. Keep that in mind. I would say G2 for camera and AOSP ROMs will get better in time. Plus the UI is pretty nice on G2. One has beautiful UI, but lacks camera. Honestly is it up to you. If you use camera on phone, I would go G2. If camera isn't important, look at One.

The camera on the G2 sucks. It's great under good lighting conditions but fails at a lot of other aspects. It pretty much suffers from the same problems the LGOG suffered from. Great camera but awful software utilizing it. LG don't know how to tweak a camera to save their lives. Even the original M7 with its 4mp was better to use. At least the M8 has an extra sensor to improve it some more. For best camera I would always go with Galaxy devices, Samsung tweaks their cameras for optimum performance and do a great job at it.

I agree. The galaxy Cameras are great. Only problem I have with Galaxy devices are the power button fails. Went through 2 because of it. LGOG didn't have a terrible camera, but it wasn't the best either. I just don't believe 4MP would cut it if you wanted to crop or zoom at all. Don't know what HTC was thinking. He is correct though, if a camera is what you're going for, Samsung can usually deliver. G2 just has some neat functions and is good for daily use. One has speakers and clean UI with good built quality. Samsung has good cameras and (to me) pretty good build quality, even if it is plastic. Don't forget about the Nexus! Good build quality, more bang for buck, and all the AOSP support you will ever need!

Exactly. All three phones to me are good phones! They all have their advantages/disadvantages. Pretty much comes up to the user picking his/her poison.

For the second time, it's 4 ultrapixels lol.
And it zooms just as good if not better than this phone .
Also, my next phone will most likely not be LG unless they get there crap together. Will most likely go with HTCs newest phone next year if doesn't look like the m8(not my taste), as I deeply miss sense and the aluminum my evo shift has.

I hope you know ultrapixels is a made up gimmick word HTC came up with to make 4 megapixels sound awesome.. And yes you can zoom but doing so ruins the pictures quality because at the end of the day it is just 4 megapixels. Only reason they made up the word ultrapixels was because of the low light performance and to sell off 4mp.

My friend has a one max. It is four mega pixels, but the sensor brings in more information. We tested our cameras side by side, and his was the same as far a zooming in went. And low light was better.

Than either he has a very special HTC One or you two are not photoheads. I have the One on my account for my aunt and when I compared it with my Note 2 back then the Note 2 blew it away as far as cropping/zooming goes. You will start to see some distortion as you zoom/crop.. Did you do your test on a PC or from the phones display? It's funny because all the reviews have similar results. Idk if your fanboying to the max or really believe you got those results. Those sensor bring more information for lowlight performance they have nothing to do with zooming and cropping, just nice pictures at night. Heck even my sisters HTC EVO 4G LTE smokes the One..
If I can I'm picking the HTC one M8 over the LG G2. Build quality/speakers/Snapdragon 801 is enough for me.
The only LG product I would buy now would be a Nexus. I read all the horroe stories about updates of previous phones. I thought for sure because our flagship phone was based off a Nexus we would get timely updates. I want to wait and see what the Note 4 has to offer.

Alright, so I was really unimpressed with the performance of the G3. Laggy and not very smooth. So, I decided to give ART a try and switched. Now everything runs super smoothly, like I would expect from a device I paid 600 € for. Can anyone confirm this?

Yeah, sure. However, I didn't get any improvements on the Nexus 4, so I wasn't really optimistic about it. Just wanted to share. I'll check improvements on battery life tomorrow.
I noticed it was a bit smoother . but I found rooting and freezing unused bloatware has made a better improvement however I am not on art at the mo so maybe it will improve even more if I changed it again. I expect this device to be on par with my previous htc one m8 if not better and I still think its just under on performance for the ui I hope it improves as I love everything about this phone its design is fantastic and that's come from a full metal m8

That's a weird "upgrade" the m8 is a fine device.
I'm a apple fan to I buy most flagship devices. Htc one m8 had speaker faults then had screen problems. I gave up with that so quickly but I would say it was mega quick tho to use and the CPU is clocked under the g3 cpu. So I wouldn't say a upgrade

The M8 uses the same CPU as the G3 both running at 2.5Ghz?

Some of us find the M8 a poor excuse for a flagship device. So many ****ty design choices, the foremost one being the useless speakers that just add device bulk and use up real estate without adding any useful functionality. The killer for me was the placement of the black band with the HTC logo. I was always pressing it expecting it to do something. At least they could have put it on top of the screen where it would not have interfered with the user experience as much.

I thought the design could of been better it just felt to long. Good materials used I thought tho. But saying that I love the plastic on the g3 in my opinion it feels the best built flagship device at the moment. S5 is just awfull I personally think the banding around that is so dam cheap

I applied ART last night and I concur with OP. It a heck lost smoother esp between transitions.
Previously there was an annoying nanosecond delay when switching apps or waiting for my SwiftKey to appear, now it's gone.
Also the response of an app opening is almost instant too.
Give it a try guys... I'm not looking back now

Apart from losing the option to use Xposed, there aren't any downsides. Just remember that when you switch over, it can take 10-20 minutes for all the apps to load at boot. Make sure you have time to do this. You won't have to reset your phone but it will take a while before it's useable.

The only thing I noticed is that the Amazon DE app isn't compatible with my device anymore. However, the perfomance increase is worth it big time.

So far my apps haven't crashed. Regardless as some have mentioned, the performance increase is worth it.
As time goes also, apps will become more compatible with ART esp with Android L ard the corner
