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.
Good Luck

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.

So u prefer the optimus pro or not? Cause u said u regret your choice at the end.

I would take the Note 2. Literally everything in my house is Samsung. Didn't have too good of a history with LG. And plus, I'm Korean. Got to support! Lol. Spec wise, LG, but I just prefer the Note 2.

HTC One Silver 32GB gorgeous ..
Am selling mine optimus G

Buy LGOG2 boot loader unlock if Wu LG

The device is out since last automn, it's not even one year old...
My next one is not for the next 1 or 2 year easy!
And, as of now, there's no need to "upgrade", there's no real gaint to get, performance wyze, at stock speed. So when it starts to get "slow", I'll overclock a little, install CM rom, and stuff like that!
But, for now, the device is doing everything I ask it to do, and fast!

OG is still lightning fast and running smoothly on all the apps. I 'll most probably wait for the G3, the time when OG really outdated.

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.

Someone wants to trade me a stock rooted LG Optimus G Pro tomorrow. I'm thinking about doing it. Because I see a lot of lag on the S4 but it's still a good phone. What should I do?

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.

It's up to u but I would do the trade in a heartbeat. You have had Both phones correct? If so than don't worry about what people say and go with what u like the best, I personally love the og pro and am glad I traded my note 2 for it. Best trade I've made in a while.

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.

[Q] Is the E980 a good buy?

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.
Regards,
Ron

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.

Thanks for the reply.
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.

I just traded my galaxy s4 for this phone and couldn't be happier. installed cwm and flashed carbonrom.. loving it! :good:

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.

I was looking for an upgrade from my aging galaxy note and this thing is absolutely wonderful. Top tier specs and much cheaper to pick up unlocked then top range samsung stuff. The only downside I've found has been that the custom rom support isn't as good as most Samsungs I've owned so just check out what is available for the optimus G pro and see if it's enough for you.

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
unlocked it too im using for 2 days its gr8 phone
the best value for the money
i just got problem with the camera is seems awful can make to picture better

[Q] Thinking of getting this phone, some questions?

Hi, I have a couple of quick questions:
-Does this phone have screen color calibration? I know there apps but those are basically layers, I mean adjustements from kernel patches like the Nexus 4, I browsed some of the g pro forums and available kernels, cant seem to find info about this.
-Is there a noticeable bump in performance from the S4 Pro cpu? Im using an Optimus G and its definitely not slow, but it isnt the beast I was expecting compared to my old HTC Sensation, its fast but I still find myself waiting while using the browser (I plan to keep the phone I get for 3 years). So yeah im curious about that or if I should just wait for the G2 Pro.
-How well does sweep 2 wake work? This is a must feature for me.
-If anyone upgraded from the Optimus G (8mpx AT&T one) how much better is the camera?

I havent seen any color calibration options.
Performance is definitely better than the OG. Mine used to lag sometimes, this one works smooth always.
Dunno about swipe to wake.
The camera is waaaaay better than the OG camera. With my OG i got decent pictures at best.

For non contract costing 350 bucks and you have a better cpu processor 64 built in storage and crispy 13 MP camera and 5 MP front camera and a 5.5 inch screen and exclusive cynogen kitkat rom.
