New phone day is upon me and I have to make a decision. I'm leaning toward the G2, but am interested to hear other peoples opinions.

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.

I had the HTC One for a while before I had to give it to my wife and get the LGOG. Long story.. Anyway, the 4ultrapix camera was awesome and the software that came with it is amazing. I can't imagine the m8 would disappoint. I love rooting and playing with my phones but the One was so sweet I never got the itch. The Zoe feature for the camera is awesome too. My 2cents

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 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 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!

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.

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.

ok heres the deal guys a got an upgrade next month and im trying to decide between the two. my main points of interest are a soild camera both front and rear, music, speed, wireless tether, display, development,build quality, and signal aka connectivity. the only thing keeping me from going straight to the gnex atm is the camera, signal (i read alot of issues with the gnex) and the processor is a tid bit slower. dont get me wrong i love stock android over sense then again the dialer for sense is nice with the auto completion. idk i just cant decide i know ill get a more 1 sided opinion on this forum but try to be open minded on your opinions....

This solves it every time. Don't like some guys on a forum tell you what device to buy... choose what's best for you. Just be an informed consumer.
I carry both phones on a daily basis. Both of them are great devices in their own respect. The only thing I'm not in love with on my nexus is the camera. If I'm going to take a picture I'll usually reach for my Rezound first but that's about the only time I will. The battery life has been better on my Rezound also but that is mostly due to the fact that I don't use it as much as my Nexus. The Nexus feels better in my hand than the Rezound (which I also like better than the blocky Razr), I like how well it rests in my palm and also really like the curved screen. As far as processor goes there is also much more to consider than a 300mhz bump in clock speed between the two. And after using my Nexus I will never want anything other than Vanilla Android 4.0+. It pains me to use anything else. Lol.
The signal on both of them has seemed equal to me to be honest. I haven't had any of the issues other users have reported with the Nexus and both are reliable as far as network connectivity and speed. The build quality on both of them are solid. As far as music goes the Rezound does come with the beats headphones which are nice...

Sort of agree with this but sometime demo units are laggy and not a full-representation of what the phone actually is when a person is using it.

Well put. The demo units are generally not a good representation as far as performance. I still recommend getting them in your hands to see what feels comfortable to each individual. It will also give you a good idea on the user interface differences and pros/cons of each.

This sums up why i use my nexus more than my sgs2.
The only reasons I would see to get a rezound would be if you love sense, or if you really need a good on your phone. I was a little iffy about the nexus, but 2 weeks in I have zero regrets. But then again camera isn't that important to me.

I have a GN and my wife has a rezound. Both are great phones. The Rezound does get a bit better reception. The screen is a matter of preference... The rezound is brighter, but the GN has richer colors.
I think the GN feels better in my hand and I personally prefer the button configuration
GN is definitely easier to root, although I did manage to unlock and rom the rezound also.

I need a phone for my wife, camera speed is very important for her.
The only online video review i could find are based on the 2.3 (i think) OS and it seems that the sutter speed and the speed between shots are not so great. Did the things has changed with ICS?
Nothing has changed at all. U can use apps as camera replacement but if camera is important then I gotta be honest other phones are much better. Best thing would be go to store and use the phone.

Absutely, it's a good camera for what i found out. But for her speed is more important then quality, as all the cameras are pretty good nowadays if you only need "facebook pictures". She's always complaining that she constantly miss "the moment" because her current camera on her phone is too slow.

It may very well be possible to actually disassemble the s4 camera sacrifice it into the s3 motherboard I might attempt to find a extra camera 40 s for online and try this only because the physical aspects of the cameras and design haven't really changed and I remember in old mod that was done on the T Mobile vibrant using AT&T model you could actually put the AT&T front camera into the samsung vibrant giving the vibrant a front cam
Anyone have opinions on this being done might need a software change if the physical cams swap over, I'm sure it will be a good amount of time before the camera alone becomes available online to purchase somewhere

I just checked the pin-count on the S4 and S3 camera modules, and they are identical. Looks like they could fit, except that the flexcable is in the wrong place. This is something that might be possible to fix, though.
If I could get the module to fit physically, would it (in theory) be possible to use S4 camera module drivers for the S3?

Agreed! And if you are a photography enthusiast or professional, Im willing to bet you have a camera that no smartphone can match anyway! Plus the risk involved vs the cost of the hardware just makes this impractical, to me anyway!
But then there is also something else to consider. The S4 is already on 4.2.2. I seriously doubt the camera modules, let alone the SamsungCamera.apk, would work at all on our phones which are still only at 4.1.2.
After we get our update, this point may become redundant, but I do not think it would be possible right now.
I've also heard that it may be possible to mod the battery from the S4 to the S3. Think of the possibilities!
To be honest it doesn't seem worth it to try. If you mess something up you'll pay big time, and the quality isn't that much of a difference unless you're obsessed with photography. It just seems impractical to me. And there's no guarantee it'll work just because it worked on an other Samsung phone.
Just pointing that out. But you guys can do whatever you want just don't come crying to me when you break something.
I would just wait for the s5 or get an s4. Right now I'm more than happy with my AT&T S3.

If you can swing it, I'd say go for it! A friend has a DNA and I've had some decent hands-on with it - it's a great phone already. In my opinion, the biggest "wow" factor is going to be the audio performance. I've never been big into watching videos/Youtube on a phone up until the One. Granted, I am probably more into sound than the typical user, but still. The other thing is probably battery - a nice 280mah bump, almost 15% boost.
And I am guessing you'll probably see more developer support for the One vs DNA, just because the install base is that much bigger.

I just came from a DNA about two weeks ago. No regrets at all. It was worth the extra money between selling the DNA and getting a One for me.
The DNA is good enough if you want to save money. my Fiance has the DNA and I have the One and we're basically running the same phone, except mine is a better camera/speakers and hers is a bigger screen. The DNA and One are both very good phones, especially with Venom about to release a Sense 5 ROM for the DNA.
If you have that kind of disposable income, might as well.
Thanks for the responses guys! I went ahead and got the One last night - definitely liking it so far. I obviously haven't used it enough to definitively judge the battery, but it does seem quite good so far, even compared to my DNA which was underclocked and undervolted.
Thanks again for all your input - I really appreciate it!

It's not bad. It's quite a bit better than my evo lte though you wouldn't expect a huge difference by the specs. and the evo is on aosp whereas the one is on sense. (Thought I'd add that since the evo came with sense 4 which was a huge battery hog.) Enjoy it man.

And I am guessing you'll probably see more developer support for the One vs DNA, just because the install base is that much bigger.

Go with the one. It is so nice to have a premium build phone.

You think the camera on the One is better? I have much much more noise in my pictures taken with my One vs pics taken with my DNA. I am actually REALLY disappointed with the One's camera. I think going with 4MP "Ultrapixel" was a terrible idea. Speaker hype was way too much, yes better than the DNA, but way below what Beats by Dre quality should be. My beats earbuds that cam with my Rezound were beast, speakers on the One so so... I would compare it to taking the speaker from the DNA and placing two of them on the front of the phone.
Not trying to rip your post apart, I agree that they are both very good phones with the One being the better of the two. 32 internal was huge for me coming from 16, would have loved a 64 variant.

I agree the camera is a little sad. It takes super pics most of the time. Sharp and brilliant. But if they stayed with 8 megapixels and made those ultra, it would rock.

The screen on the one looks washed out compared to the DNA ... But the DNA doesn't have 32 gb which is huge and the audio on the one is significantly better ..

So y upgrade is coming up 8/1/14 and I'm looking at New devices.
I don't want a Samsung device. Too expensive. I have the HTC m7 on Sprint. I'm looking at the LG G3 due to the camera, design and performance. I like the HTC for its speakers mainly.
Is the G3 worth the money?

What exactly do you mean by lag, the boom sound speakers I'm a man but don't use them as often as I thought I would ever use it is for about 10 minutes a day

Don't buy it for performance, you might be dissapointed unless you are okay with it. Camera and design superb.

Btw: Is it worth the money? definitely yes. At least in my country its €150 cheaper then the S5 and M8.
I currently have a S5 but the G3 looks so *** gorgeous.
But i'm afraid the qFHD screen is a bit too heavy for the battery (although i read many mixed comments about the battery life).
Jdidnt LG presentation say it was a smart chip that adjusted the power according to use? I assumed that helped battery life even with the screen resolution.
Well the phone is $99 here in my location for me. The m8 is 200 and note 3 are 250

Yea. Might switch my family plan to a fRamily plan to get annual upgrades and jazz
Switching
I have currently the iPhone 5 and thinking about switching to the LG G3 but now I'm hearing about the g3 being a little leggy meaning that when your pressing and app you have to touch it twice or three times to open it that scares me a little bit.
