Hey guys,
my G2 has been at the repair center because of mic issues and now I can chose between a new G2 or G3. Same price.
My thoughts:
- Most comparisons show G2 is faster and more smooth because of G3's QHD so G3 has to load lots of more pixels.
- Both has 3000 mAh battery so G2 lasts longer because of 1080p screen uses less power.
- I dont care about AOSP roms, so that wont be important to me.
- 5,2" screen is big enough already.
I wanted to see if anyone here has gone from G2 to G3 and if they could share their thoughts before I make up my mind?
Thanks.

Well.. Honestly, i won't lie to you, this device to me is a bit disappointing. Back then, i had the lg g2 and it was my fault fault, it fell to the ground and bam, screen was gone. So a few months later after using an older device i decided to make the switch to the g3. Being very satisfied with the g2, i thought, what could possibly go wrong?
I'm happy with everything except for the lag. The lag has really gotten to me lately and sometimes i really get so angry i just wanna toss it to the ground and stomp it with my shoes.
Funnily enough, i tried an aosp rom, while it was smooth as butter, i only had 2 hour screen on time. Somehow i like the lg g3's feature's though. So i really don't know what to tell you. I, myself, am not that happy with it. It's really frustrating. I wish i had picked the m8 back then (at the cost of probably battery life) or just re-bought/repaired the g2 which was nearly half the price of my g3, more responsive with hardly any if any lag at all. Now i've gotta suck it up.
p.s: i'm on Android L and really.. i thought by now we'd have **** sorted out. Whatever..

Thanks for the honesty.
There were only few months between G2 and G3 launch, your experiences and others I read online makes me think even more that the G2 is a better choice.
I think the lag is because of the QHD screen. The CPU can't process all those pixels fast enough. My guess is that upcoming 808 and 810 CPU will have everything a lot more optimized but 1080p will remain best for battery.
Yeah I agree with you, with AOSP roms you often get horrible battery life not to mention aweful camera but you give up all the stock features and of course also stability. Dont bother AOSP because you always go back to stock roms.
I think the G3 features are the same as G2. G2 has wireless storage by default which G3 dont for example. And there are G3 ported ROMs to G2 which has 0 bugs and has even given me better battery than G2 stock roms.
I will go pick up a new phone tommorow, so far I am leaning towards getting another G2. Anyone who advice me not to do so, please say so and why
IMHO...when I first got my G3 D855 32GB. What a beauty! And then wtf it's not much different from my G2 with CloudyG3 ROM. But the QHD screen blew me away. Who care about how many SOT ...there are so many option for charging. Extra batteries option and power bank with QI charger..simply put it together in the pocket or will charge..so there....my G2 is handled down to my 9 year old. Now I never want to use the G2 anymore. And beside that. GPS locks instantly on G3 and NFC work perfectly. Till now I still can't get NFC working on G2. I definitely go for G3.

Both battery and performance mate.
Compare G2 and G3 booting up speed, using the browser, launcher redraws etc. You will see how the G2 wins the race.
So in actuality. For a QHD you are giving up battery life & performance.. Now tell me who does not care about that
But hey, prove me wrong if I am wrong. I am here to learn.

Maybe i wouldn't care if the device didn't lag AS much. It's like, okay, fire up google chrome, get on a site and then it freezes, then you hit the home button, takes another 2 seconds to load up the main screen. Aight, i checked the weather, lets go back to the browser, go to another site and the **** fest begins. It's just so frustrating. I've been even thinking of just using my nexus 4 again.
I don't get why aosp can run so fluently, i'm talking MEGA FAST and the stock g3 can't. It's either optimization, that, or it's really too much for the cpu to handle g3's added features at stock resolution. I think i will leave this thread alone. This all is starting to remind me of how i bought my htc one x back then just to end up mad.
edit op: @ this point isn't it better you just wait to see what will soon be coming out in the market?

From G2 to that hahaha.
My G2 is on warranty and since they have not fixed the issue they allow me to chose a new product from the same price range. I am split between G2 and G3.
Anyway, I have said my thoughts. Will keep a close eye on the thread and hopefully more who jumped from G2 to G3 will stop by to reply :fingers-crossed:
There are apps to change your screen resolution from 1440p to 1080p if you feel it's hurting your battery life or is causing lag. Honestly, unless the size of the phone(which isn't that much bigger) just really bothers you, I don't know why you wouldn't take the upgrade.
I didn't own a G2. But comparing a nexus 5 vs G3, the G3 indeed has some hickups here and there, but it's not as problematic as it was mentioned above. My phone is fluid and runs everything without any problems. Again it's not nexus5 fluid, but as far as i know neither is the G2.
I have owned g2 and g3 for a while ( g2 for more than 6 month, g3 for 1 month). I installed cloudy g3 on both devices.
I won't consider g3 as an up-grade. G2 just runs faster on a day to day basis.( opening apps, browsing). And battery life does matter to me( and most people), g3 really sucks when compare to g2 ( usually 6 ~7 Screen on time).
G3 has better display and a faster camera. But display and camera on g2 is also very good and is more than what I need ( or most pepple needs).
Personally I would trade or sell my g3 in a few more weeks and try to get a Nexus 6.
BTW, when compare to HTC M8, g3 lags like ****.( personal experience)
M8 is by far the most responsive and least touch latency phone I ever seen/used ( not sure about iphone 6)
I had G2. Then M8. Hated camera. Got G3. Happy with the choice until a couple months in. The m8 is much better. The only thing is that 4 ultra pix got on my nerves and I just got it signing contract I let it get to my head. But it always hit 1. In benches. Pics were fast and looked great. But like I said I thought since g2 was great id be happier with g3. Nope. Lol. I love G3. But HTC is sweet. So I'm buying m9. It will be what the M8 should be been in my opinion.

Don't get the G3, it's almost at EoL (End of life). It's an excellent device, but as others stated, batter and lag are unacceptable for a flagship device. Especially after LG released the G2 & N5.
I'd suggest waiting for the asus Zenfone 2 or the LG Flex 2, they should be released in the coming few months.

Yeah I'm the class clown :angel:
The 801 in the G3 is superseded now by the 805 & 810. The device itself is being superseded by the Flex 2. So yeah, it at EoL. Mobiles are not like before, they keep improving every 6 months or so, PC's are the same but slightly slower.

End of life in my book means no official LG update support will be issued anymore for a device. CPU`s get updated all the time but that doesn`t mean the 801/805 doesn`t do the job well anymore.
I keep my G3 fairly minimal with apps so my phone is always fast and responsive. I really dont understand what the others are talking about. QHD screen doesnt in fact impact battery life, but Lollipop currently has worse battery life than KitKat. 3 gigs of RAM really add up in the performance department, I guess others just dont realise it. When I was buying phone, I was leaning to buy G2, but in the end I went for the G3 because of removable battery and expandable storage (and what a beauty it is too). I dont regret buying it at all. I was in dilemma between M8 and G3, went for G3, very satisfied. Only reason I keep it rooted to remove that oversharpening. One thing you should know too that G3's sreen has bad black color. It is so lighted it is more of a gray than black. You can try it out and see for yourself.
I've had both the G2 and the G3, and while the G2 was a great phone, I prefer the styling and camera of the G3. There are some stutters here and there but nothing major for me. I saw stutters on the G2 as well. Battery life also isn't an issue for me. I can usually get 4-5 hours of SoT, which is fine for 1 day's use. As long as it can get me through the day then that's what matters. Go G3!
If most of you stayed with KitKat, at least until lollipop is sorted out and doesn't suck, then tweaked the heck out of KitKat then none of you would be moaning.
My battery life is great, only sleep problems mainly stemming from google play service, but I can surf the net with 45% brightness for around 5-6 hours, depending on sites visited(media-heavy sites bring it down a bit). Lag is now almost gone and the phone really flies.
Can you expand storage on a G2 ?
This was one of my main reasons for dumping the nexus line and getting a G3, I now have a 64gb class 10 card in there and its bloody wonderful. No more deleting apps or music to squeeze a game or album on, like I had with my nexus 4.
Speaking of nexus 4, this G3 spanks it to death for speed, screen, expansion, options. Roms are better on nexus 4 but then it is 3 years old. I still love it and it still looks sexy for its age, but this G3 phone's screen is night and day better.
Perhaps if we all posted our tweaks we could help each other out, but lately I've noticed that not many are interested.
Nexus 6 isn't without its own problems, heck just read some threads on this forum. My G3, along with its contract, cost me nearly half of what the N6 would have cost me over 24 months.
LG should have some responsibility in this because its their damn crappy software that is most of the cause of this. And, I bet like a few here, I kind of get the feeling that LG may quietly drop this phone as soon as G4 hits the market.
I still own the G2 and currently using the G3. As others have stated the most drawback for me is the battery life. with the G2 i use 2days with 67 SOT in single charge. but with the G3 i'll use 1.5days with 5-6 SOT, but i have to charge it every night. and about the lag. honestly, it doesn't matter. waiting few miliseconds. :silly: phone is bit huge. ummm... design is way more better than the G2. oh and the camera is a huge improvement. No need to talk about the QHD display here! it's a badass. :good: the best of G3 expansion of memeory. 3GB ram. those are obviously plus points when comparing with G2. but G2 will beat the G3 in battery life and smoothness. other than that G3 is ok. Battery life is a hugh drawback for me btw!
Hi guys
I'm using Optimus G E975 and I'm really happy with it, but I'm thinking about upgrade and I'm not sure which one to get. I'm gonna stick to LG, but can't decide between G2, G Pro 2 or G3.
Here I can get all 3 of them at street prices which are quite similar, G2 32gb for 290 eur, G pro 2 32gb for 310 eur and G3 16gb for 340 eur, so money is not really a point that makes any difference when choosing.
I'm posting this here in G3 section because I suppose that there are G3 owners who had G2 or G pro 2 before G3. For me on paper G3 seams like an obvious choice, but I'm really concerned with the issues people report. Battery life seams to be just awful from what I have red, random shutdown problems, overheating problems, screen not that great... G2 and G pro 2 seam like safe bet phones regarding this issues. Thing that are the strong points for me for G3 are mostly its size (best screen to phone size ratio), its the newest so I suppose it will get at least one more official update and slow mo video option. I don't really care about 4k screen or little faster processor, and that are the main differences between these 3 phones.
Only thing turning me away from G pro 2 is its size, but it has everything else like sd card slot, removable battery, almost the same camera as g3, slow mo video even 3gb of ram for that money.
Any thoughts, opinions and suggestions are welcomed. Thanks in advance!

custom rom on G3 and you are ready to go. (i am satisfied with this phone especially after G2 problems, G3 almost no problems, only that i have ripple screen)
Is that ripple bugging you a lot? I mean, is it strong ripple or just mild?
Also, are there good stock based custom roms? Which one are you using? I wouldn't wanna loose any of functionality with cm or aosp roms...

I am waiting to see the responses you get. I, too, am thinking of getting a new phone. I am still using the Nexus 4. The LG G3 can be had for quite a bit cheaper (at least on AT&T) right now. It is $480 vs. $650 for the Nexus 6.
Hi, I have both.
G3 a little lag, worst camera
N6 less lag, worst battery, and personally I don't like that much the screen, and way too big

I thought the G3 was supposed to have a pretty good camera? It seems everything I read contradicts something else I've read. The battery life is good, the battery sucks. The screen is amazing, the screens nothing special. There's tons of lag, there isn't really any lag. I don't know what to think.

Worst camera than N6, but it's a decent one.
I prefer IPS rather than Amoled, so for me, better screen the G3.

The G3 has an excellent camera. It rivals the iPhone 6 and beats the iPhone 5s.
I would personally take the G3 over the Nexus 6. The G3 has expandable memory and a removable battery. It's also smaller and lighter and it feels better in your hand. The Nexus 6 is just too big as well. Beyond 5.5" phones become too big IMO.

Thanks everyone for your replies on this.
I don't mean to hijack this thread from OP, but would like opinions if it's ok.
I'm torn between going ahead and buying the G3 at it's current AT&T price of $480 (using Next), or waiting on some of the new models that are coming out. Specifically, the Galaxy S6, the HTC M9, the Flex 2, and finally the Asus Zenfone 2. All of those, with the exception of the Zenfone 2, will be at least $650 I presume, therefore the G3 is quite a bit cheaper. So, I'm not sure if the features of these new devices is worth waiting and paying more, or should I just go ahead and get the G3 now with it's $480 price tag?
Thanks again everyone.
My friend has also asked for my opinion whether he should buy a phone now or wait for the next flagships and my advise is : wait for it. The first few new phones should appear in stores in mid March - April, as Snapdragon 810 appears it might be worthwhile to wait for it as it supports 64bit vs the current 32bit.
Anyway, my opinions for OP's question is to go for the Nexus 6. I currently have a LG G3 and i find that its battery sucks (i came from a HTC Butterfly S and LG G2, im quite a heavy user (games, reddit, whatsapp and calls) and my screen on time at most is only maybe 3 to 3 and a half hours at best, while my Butterfly S was able to reach around 5-6hours vs my LG G2 4-5hours. I find that the 2K screen is not worth the battery life at all, its barely comparable with just a Full HD screen, and the processor cant handle it properly.
Camera is fantastic. HTC Butterfly S's camera utilises Ultrapixels (the same as the HTC One M7 and M8) and the G3 beats it completely. It takes miliseconds to snap a photo.
The LG G3 LAGS. Its not the kind of lag you get when you use a low end phone, its more like...microlags. For example - my LG G2 and LG G3 was at one point both running Resurrection Lollipop Rom, and while the LG G2 was really fast and fluid, the G3 feels different, everything seems slower and abit jaggedy, though its not visible ; more like as a gut feeling. Its more like the processor is struggling to handle the screen resolution itself, and somewhat succeeds though not entirely.
If i were you i would go for the Nexus 6, though the price and expandable storage takes some consideration.

1. Batterylife on the G3 is better then with the Nexus 6
2. Tried the new 20H firmware? No lag for me on that rom and i have many apps running in the background.
Just my 2 cents but i think besides your allready mentioned considerations the G3 is the better device because of the many usefull extra features it offers next to barebone android N6.

1. I somehow doubt it with my usage, Nexus 6 is AMOLED too which saves even more battery than G3's IPS screen.
2. Hmm ill try it now, though currently trying CloudyG3. Its not the number of apps it can run, the lag happens during more of its animations even when theres no apps in the background.
I'd choose G3, the nexus 6 is way big for me. The most important is I like the G3 outlook, it's gorgeous
And what about choosing between Sona Z3 vs HTC M8? Or other alike candidate (Samsung is not an option)?
I'm curious. Is anybody going from the G Pro to the G4? I've had the G Pro for almost 2 years. Thinking about going to the G4 or wait and see what the Nexus 7 phone will be later this year.

I have the Samsung S4 active and LG E980---both rooted and the S4 active has Lollipop and faster processor. Guess which phone I use? The LG! The battery life on all my Samsungs just can't compare---they're at 20% by 8:00 PM where the LG is at 60%. Also, the LG is faster and rarely seems to get bogged down. I am curious about the G4 though and it's either that or possibly the Moto. I'm done with Samsung---too much bloat and crap.

The battery life on all my Samsungs just can't compare---they're at 20% by 8:00 PM where the LG is at 60%. Also, the LG is faster and rarely seems to get bogged down. I am curious about the G4 though and it's either that or possibly the Moto. I'm done with Samsung---too much bloat and crap.

But is the G4 a definite step up, or is it a lateral move? I remember looking at the specs for the G3, and it seemed that the OGP still had some Better specs in certain areas. So, if we migrate over to the G4, what if anything will we be losing? I might wait a bit and see if the G4 Note becomes a reality...
Edit: if you like a bright white screen, you might not be happy with the G4. When i did a side by side comparison between the G4 & the OGP, I noticed that the G4 was much dimmer than the OGP, and it had a distinct blue tint instead of the bright white I'm accustomed to. Both phones were set to m max brightness. I'm not sure if the G4 has any sort of tint or tone settings to have caused the blue-ish screen, but it was definitely set set max brightness. It reminded me of the coloring on an Amoled from a Note 2. One thing of note though...when viewed by itself, the G4's screen looked fine! But when placed side by side, there was a marked difference...
Let snapdragon 820 phone come. I will upgrade rather 808 or 810
I miss the home button LED on the ogp.
I played with the G4 twice in the store. The G Pro and the G4 both have the same size screen, but you get more screen to use on the G Pro when you factor in the G4 having onscreen buttons. I wish they had made the G4 with a 5.7 inch screen like the LG Stylus.

Quite honestly, maybe I'm missing something. I messed around with the G4, G3, Samsung S5, S6 and the Nexxus 6 and I noticed very little difference in the LG E980 and these other phones. Screen--not much difference. Reaction time---almost the same. Size---same, thickness---slightly better but nothing crazy.
Honestly, about the only phone I thought was "exciting" was the Iphone 6 plus. But I want external memory and removable battery. Just not excited to upgrade...is there something I'm missing?

Yeah you missing that you are crazy nut. Lol serious thought. I agree on pretty much everything. I do not think the last few years have made a big difference anymore. And the G Pro is probably the best phone you easily can buy for under 150 probably the best one anyway. Because most phones more expensive or same price range have build in battery and those after roughly 2 years aren't lasting anymore. I had to get a replacement for my G Pro because the battery drained within 3 hours. But isn't a big deal since it has a replaceable battery.

I sold my G3, because of a very poor battery life, had to charge it 4-6 times daily, and this G4 is reported to have even poorer battery life than G3 on several sites
so I wont buy g4, there are better alternatives with lower price tags

I moved from the G Pro to the G4. Battery life has been great so far, standby lasted a few days. On screen was near 6 hours with heavy use and the quick charge feature is great! Now that it's rooted and all of the bloat removed, it's an even better phone. The camera is very impressive and crisp. I still have my G Pro and love it however, I just don't turn it on much anymore. The G4 has impressed me to the point that my other devices really don't get touched anymore.

Swapped my OGP with new G4 from a retailer yesterday. Its like riding a Trimph after a base model of Honda. Though a lot of bloatware, but zero lag till now.
Well, need you guys help. Please share inbuilt qhd videos on OGP with me. Searched over on internet but couldn't find anything.
Ok. Guys please don't take offense to this. I LOVE lg and commend them for keeping removable battery and expandable memory. Kudos to them.
I recently swappa'd from the g3 to the g4. At first the difference was great. Huge difference in camera shutter speed. But now my camera freezes half the time in manual mode. Also I have tried with greenify and amplify and without and the phone lags like crazy and gps is always running when it shouldn't be. Even with google.com now disabled it still polls gps.
Granted it has no impact on my battery drain and I'm glad that the g4 has a faster gps lock than the g3. I am probably just being picky here... And truthfully I can't complain. I sold my g3 with box, vr kit, spare battery kit, 3 cases including rare slim guard cch320g, sold for $160 in 45 mins. Lol I wanted to give someone a deal because I had a highly motivated seller that sold this g4 with $90 mugen battery, stock spare battery, 2 cases (a $30 uag), and original box for $230.
All in all yes I would buy this over again and for under $100 difference I have no right to complain....but why do I feel no significant difference? I had my g3 since launch and my previous phone was a droid maxx.
Sorry but going from a blackberry tour to a droid 2 was so awesome. As well as droid 2 to galaxy nexus thanks to SwiftKey. Galaxy nexus to razr maxx hd was amazing. Razr Maxx hd to droid maxx was equally awesome thanks to bootloader unlock.
Droid maxx to lg g3.....I dunno. I felt jipped. Motorola had better radios for sure. But I began to enjoy lg and it's camera.
I played with a v10 yesterday for an hour. I am shocked at the difference in speed because the only difference is more ram really. The speed difference could be in my head? Idk this g4 lags when switching between apps, typing on Google search, etc. I have tried different keyboards and it changes nothing. Even adapting the searching of apps history etc. So slow!
I am not a person that spends more time on the phone. I use a Windows 8 laptop significantly more than a phone. I don't play games of any kind.
Help!
I switched from nexus 4 to lg g3. I was never happy. G3 to me was slow and laggy. I upgraded to G4 and will say that was the true upgrade. It is fast and snappy. I have to admit lg g3 after lollipop update seemed fast. I still own all phones but G4 is the best, would never use G3 back again. From the development point of view Nexus 4 was and still is the best. Hopefully an update to mm will solve problem for you.

We'll see. If not I dunno what I'll do. Even a note 4 dev edition isn't going to be much different.
I guess I'd get a 6p and a battery case when it comes out by zero lemon.
Wish we'd get some roms....
