Depends on the reason and if custom roms and such are important to you.
If you want custom roms, i would say no.
If you want a bigger screen I would say yes.
I trade my GNoteII and way too much money worth of accessories for the Ogp. Couldn't be happier.
Was gonna get the htc, but i cant live w/o removable battery so i picked Ogp...and its awesome!

correction, if you are a flashaholic then no, but cm10.1 is in the works and other custom roms will follow
Yes there will be stable cm some time.
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've also sold of my htc one, which I really liked and bought OGP. Awaiting delivery at the moment using Xperia zl which I'm fed up of, it lags crashes.
I'm going to miss htc one speakers, aluminium unibody, browser and LCD 3 screen which is the best and custom roms.
I'm looking forward to bigger screen, ext micro sd, home button notification light, camera, removal bigger battery,

Financially you made a better choice. If you plan on keeping one phone for a couple years, the ogp is probably a better choice, but at&t dropping the full retail value so much is absolutely killing us folks who swap phones every month or two.

Depends which is worth more if money is not a concern then swap. LG is more appealing, personally I would not buy S4 nor swap OGP with S4. S4 is one of the most overrated phones.

Agree fully. For me too. OGP was a hidden Diamond.
I would have never bought this if not have got great deal on it.
But now after OGP have decided to keep samsung out of home until they give any great phone to market.

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..
Mac
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.

if they do a note III. There might be something completely different in 12 months!
my personal opinion would be get note 2 now.
because its still new, holds value pretty well, but once we are in 2013, i would consider S4.
to be honest I change phone roughly every 2 years, and I just get the one that I will be happy with, that's future proof ish (eg. LTE) for 2 years.
Note 6 is the best! Full 1080p 3D screen, and the screen is FOLDABLE!

If price is not an issue, then go with the optimus. It has a slightly faster CPU, higher resolution screen, and a better camera

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.

After the T-Mobile G2x [LG] I will never buy another LG phone. Terrible device. Terrible CS. Terrible updates. Wait until the there's a little more info on the phone.
I'm looking for an upgrade from Optimus 2X P990. I've a shortlisted a few phone that are in my budget, they are the N4, Optimus G, Optimus G Pro, and the Xperia SP.
There are a few questions I have.
Firstly, I'll buy an E980 AT&T version if I am to get an Optimus G Pro, but will it work with the Indian Service providers flawlessly?
Secondly, why isn't there as many ROMs as there has to be for a terrific phone as this? Is it because of the Locked Bootloader?
Thirdly, does the FreeGee support mean that a Pandora's box of ROMs and Kernels have been opened?
Thank you all.

It all depends what you're looking for. True, the OGP lacks dev support, but the few ROMs we work nicely and the hardware is fantastic.
I wouldn't bother with an N4. The AT&T LG Optimus G (LG-E970) has almost the same exact hardware as the N4 but a bigger and better screen with cap keys and an external SD slot. But, since everything else is 97% the same as the N4, the OG gets updated custom ROMs just as fast as the N4 since the sources for the N4 can be use for the e970 with very minor changes.

Yes, I did consider the AT&T E970 for the reasons you mentioned. But then again, the hardware and design of the E980 is too tempting to let go. Wondering if the development for the phone will grow in future. If so, this will be my next phone, hopefully. Also, since it has official CM support too, doesn't that secure the development of ROMs for at least 2-3 years? :/

Not necessarily. With 4.4 now out, the CM team would still need to add the device. However, personally, I do think this will get the 4.4 update one way or the other and I won't be jumping to a new phone anytime soon.

This phone is a great phone and the developers that we do have are great. We will continue to get updates because the hardware is too good to just leave on jellybean. This is my opinion of course, so I am clearly happy with the e-980 and don't plan on getting another phone anytime soon.

this phone is capable of way more than the samsung galaxy s4 that has the mf3 update. mine did so I traded for this phone :good:
I'm seriously thinking of getting the OGPro now. But it's only the lack of development that worries me a little, hope it gets better with time.
Thank you all for your valuable suggestions.
PS: Probably gonna place an order in an hour or two.

i also bought from ebay 2 weeks ago

the best value for the money
i just got problem with the camera is seems awful can make to picture better
I have a S5 and I will not keep both. It is early yet but after a few days I think the S5 is the goner.
I just cannot put the G3 down. Is is very comfortable to use, the feel is great, and the weight is neglible as far as I'm concerned. It hasn't given me any problems yet, I have enjoyed everything I have tried so far, the display is very good, and I'm happy with the battery life.
Well done LG, bravo!
M8. Definitely keeping the G3.
Galaxy S3. Definitely keeping the G3, it's an upgrade in every way.
G2,loving the g3 and keeping it.

N5. If anyway to install custom ROM's and kernels doesn't come out in 30 days I am selling G3.

I sold my n5 to buy the g3, hoping it would help me stop wanting to keep flashing roms every couple days. I loved doing it but it got out of control. But now I'm just hoping for a stock Rom that gets rid of the lag I experience typing and using the recents.

EVO 4G LTE. I'm loving the G3, first non-HTC smartphone I've ever owned. I still like my EVO and I'll keep it for a while unless I get a good offer to sell it, but I definitely wouldn't have any other phone on the market right now.
Came from an S5. Like everything about the G3 more EXCEPT for the camera.

LG g pro. Already sold the g pro. Same 5.5 inch screen size in a smaller package. No regrets.

What makes it better? Looking at a lot of pictures from both on phonearena, I felt the G3 was better overall. It seemed to be just as good at most things, but then was much better at night and a little bit better in HDR. But they also don't have much motion in the pictures, etc.
I had a GS5. I am on AT&T but had a T-Mobile version rooted and custom rom. I couple of things for me are making me lean towards the G3. The screen obviously. Second is the UI. With a custom rom you still couldn't get the AOSP feel to the GS5. You are already closer with a stock G3 UI. With Nova and a few tweaks you are very close. Finally I am thinking we will get the bootloader unlocked and be in heaven. Still though, its a close call. The amoled on the S5 was a better screen overall and with the capacitive buttons the size advantage is not that great. The S5 didn't have the humming issue with headphones and AUX cables. Overall though I think the G3 will stay.
Coming from a m7 and I'm about 99% I'm keeping my g3. 11 more days to decide if I can live with a locked boot loader
Nexus 5 here. Almost definitely keeping the G3. Better screen and better battery life are key. LG's it's definitely the best skin I've encountered.
Plus, my Nexus 5 just feels so tiny now.

I've been using a Samsung Note 3 and before the LG G Pro. I'm keeping my LG G3 phone. Will not buy another Samsung phone again
