Am i making the right decision?! Haha i'm just kidding I had the Note 2 and while i loved it i only used the s-pen a few number of times and never used all the features and to be honest and the phone was a little too big for me. I always thought that 5" was the perfect size for a phone and after playing with the phone today at the AT&T store i realized the LG has almost the same specs as the N3 and is 5.2" and it feels really really nice in the hands. I still think the best feeling phone that i've owned is the HTC DNA, but the G2 is a close 2nd. Another plus side is the G2 is actually cheaper for me (AT&T Next plan) and i'm not really feeling the faux leather backing on the N3. Did any of you guys go from the N3 to the G2?

I was going to purchase the Note 3 when it came out, but picked up the G2 today instead. I don't use any of the software upgrades that samsung provides, because I always use custom ROMs. I also wasn't planning on using the stylus ever. The G2's screen is a little smaller, but it's also an IPS screen (which is WAY better).
The only things I don't like is that battery is nonremovable and there's no SD card slot. That being said, I got it for $139 brand new. You just can't beat that.

i actually like phones that have non-removable batteries! One thing that drove me nuts was that flimsy battery cover on the note 2
I was thinking of getting this over the Note 3 that I Pre-ordered. Think I might buy it off contract tomorrow so I can test it for 2 weeks before the note 3. ATT only charges 36 dollar return fee if you don't like it.
If you have a costco account you can buy it from their and you will have a 90 day window to return it.
so as the title states what would you guys rather have (att contract LG G3) or the 64GB One Plus One
The oneplus is a great phone but its hard to obtain due to the invite crap they do. If you have an invite I'd say buy both and see what you prefer. If you don't have an invite why even think which one to get.
say you had both boxed up on your desk right now.
They both have similar specs and camera too
both have s801,3gb ram, same sony camera sensor but the one plus is half the price and you need invite which is hard to get.
oh and then lg g3 have so called laser focus like dslr but anandtech proved that its not really a laser focus like dslr
http://www.anandtech.com/show/8062/a-closer-look-at-the-g3s-ir-laser-auto-focus-system
im just saying like if you had both still in box and had to give one up witch one would you keep? (and it would be your daily driver phone)
I previously posted my review of the OnePlus One over on the OnePlus forum but I guess I might as well post it here as well for others debating between the two...
TL;DR: I ordered the OnePlus One and the LG G3. When they arrived I was so unimpressed with the Oneplus One that I sold it to a coworker for the original price I paid and happily kept the G3.
Detailed version...
I won an invite from the Storm Of Invites about 5 weeks ago. I promptly placed an order and the phone arrived last Tuesday. However, while the phone was in transit I started doing more research to see if it really was the phone for me and if there were other options out there. In the end I chose to sell it to my co-worker and order the LG G3 instead. After doing my research I felt the G3 would better fit my needs. Once I finally got my hands on the OnePlus One in person and played with it for a bit I was VERY glad that I sold the One to my co-worker and opted for the G3 instead.
Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of pros to the One, but the cons greatly outweighed them for me...
Pros:
- It's very snappy. It feels as snappy right out of the box as my Nexus 5 did with all the tweaks and CM11 installed. It was definitely snappier than the G3 right out of the box. (But after some minor tweaking I can now say that the G3 is as fast.)
- The back plate of the phone feels fantastic in the hand. It's very premium and will hold up vey well to scratching.
- The reviews convinced me that the phone would be too big for use with one hand. This is actually not the case. I don't have large hands by any means and can say that the One feels great in one hand. I was not afraid of dropping it at all.
- Overall the phone feels like a premium ($600+) device and I'd argue that the overall feel is higher quality than the LG G3.
Cons:
- The d*** yellow tint at the bottom of the screen. I read about it from many users before receiving my phone. Some said it was very noticeable while others said it wasn't a big deal. However, the yellow tint is definitely there, it absolutely is noticeable on light grey/white backgrounds, and there is no doubt in my mind that it is a defect. The fact that OnePlus refuses to admit this is a defect and replace phones with this issue is very off-putting and tells me a lot about the company.
- Chrome bezels. This is personal preference but I hate phones with chrome bezels because they just scratch way too easily, in my experience. I wasn't a fan of the chrome bezels on my Nexus 4 and I surely don't like them on the OnePlus One. I have no doubt that they will get scratched up (even with a case) rather quickly.
- While the phone does feel good in one hand, it's still too tall. The height of the phone is borderline awkward looking in person. OnePlus really should have eliminated the capacitive buttons and tried trimming the bottom bezel down a bit.
- Piggy backing off that last one, why the hell does it have capacitive buttons? Google designed great on screen buttons for a reason. There is no need to tack on additional buttons as well. OnePlus should have left that B.S. with HTC and Samsung. I understand you can disable them for the on screen buttons but it's redundant and unnecessary to have them.
...
Anyway, aside from the yellow tint (which definitely would be a deal breaker on its own), the remaining "cons" would not be big issues individually. However, when combined, they made me significantly less impressed with the phone as a whole. Had I not sold the phone to my co-worker I would have returned it for a full refund.
For those who may be curious, here are 2 other big reasons why I decided to go with the G3 before the OnePlus One even arrived...
- Wifi calling (T-Mobile). The One will never have this feature and since my cell reception at home is horrendous, I've been wanting to get a phone capable of Wifi calling on T-Mobile for a while now.
- After watching MANY reviews of the OnePlus One and LG G3 over the past month or so, it seems everyone was most impressed with the G3's camera. The extremely fast laser focus is a very cool feature that I plan on making good use of. So far it's lived up to the hype.
- Buttons on the back instead of the sides. To me this is a great evolution of the smart phone. Over the past few years I've grown quite annoyed of side buttons that tend to cause issues with cases fitting perfectly and getting accidentally pressed when pulling the phone from your pocket. Plus I've felt that it can be awkward to access side buttons properly with one hand without feeling like you are going to drop the phone. The back buttons on the G3 are very welcomed, in my opinion.
@sn0warny great review. @therussiann although the oneplus sounds appealing I've read that its had a lot of issues software wise. And cm needs to push a lot of updates to fix these. It would be an awesome phone just needs a lot of refinement. That said G3 all the way

I am a nexus 5 user. but i would get G3 over 1+1.
I have the oneplus 64gb black one in my pocket right now along side my nexus 5. I got it yesterday and wanted to test it out before deciding what to do. I also have an lg g3 coming tomorrow as well so im going to have all 3 at once to make my choice.
I can tell you right now i really really like the oneplus one. feels great in hand and the sandstone back cover is money. It is a little tall though. I will probably be selling it in favor of the lg g3. Check swappa soon for my post. phone is fast and awesome just not fully my scene i think. Will know for sure once i have a couple days with the g3...i played with one last night and it was really really nice
oneplus one is like big foot ....
This poll i a G3 forum is kind of pointless. We already know what the results will be. But I know LG will stand by their product and make good on their warranty. A new company coming in and trying to do things cheaply raises concerns for me in that area, and the apparent screen issue in the above comment reinforces that.
But I'm also a college student and don't have the money to just get another phone if mine has problems.
A big reason I stayed away from the OPO, is ease of repairs/replacement. Judging by how shady ONE Plus' business practices are, I feel you'd have to jump through hoops to get anything fixed.
lol, you never take poll in a biased community my friend. but LG g3 all day and every day...the phone is better, the company is better, warranty is better, shipping is better, obtainability is better, company honesty is better, screen is better (no yellow)...what else...
Lg. Simply cause I'm not interested in following contests and begging for invites. I rather walk into a store and buy my phone.
I'm using both the One plus one and G3 over the last couple of days. I'm liking the OPO over G3 currently mainly because it is more snappier and feels better in the hand than G3. I feel the G3 is little too wide to be held comfortably for long durations of time. The camera is better in the G3. Overall the OPO is a great value compared to G3 or other flagship if you could get hold of one at the actual price.

If the G3 feels too wide, then the OPO would feel even wider, given it's the wider device.

SD card and a removable battery. After the Note 7, I don't want a phone that I can't take the battery out.

For me is better in the following ways:
Second screen, removable battery, looks better, sdcard, the camera specs look better to me, better audio, full AT&T support (AT&T tends to not fully support features like VoLTE on non branded devices).
Downside: probably locked bootloader, potentially limited development support, and each version has a subset of all the possible LTE bands.
Almost 300 Dollars cheaper if you trade in your old 4G phone. Has some unique hardware features that the pixel doesn't have (2nd screen, dual camera, replaceable battery). Potential downside of V20: Slow with software updates and battery life. I decided today to cancel my Pixel XL order. To spent 1000 bucks for a phone that has no hardware wow factor didn't sit well with me. The Google software gimmicks on the pixel like assistant don't interest me and they are anyway 1st gen.Pixel owners are beta testers. Maybe next years Pixel 2nd gen will be nice.
The Silver phone is Silver on both sides, not Silver on the back and Girly White on the front.
I was debating between the two. My biggest gripe on the v20 is the screen. Not a bad screen, but LG calibration is usually bad and way too cold. Also no VR on the lg.

The worst is the blue pixel. Looks good from the back and then you turn it around and it is white. UGLY!
I hate the button placement on the Pixel. Similar to the one on the 6P. While holding the phone I constantly press the volume button. In a car holder the phone cannot be positioned in the middle because the holder presses than either the on/off button or the volume button down.

For every cons you find on the LG V20, you get 2 or more pros. By the way. Someone already unlocked the bootloader for the Tmobile model! (I GOT TO LOVE TMOBILE LOL! IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SO NICE). Smells like some rooting is about to be cooked up!... anyway, lets keep up with the listing, LG V20 is : Better looking, high quality built, shockproof, removable battery, Expandable SD CArd up to 2000TBS!, more megapixels in the rear camera, INFRAREEEED (an odd yet very effective feature to find in a phone nowadays), and the uniform color. and several other great features that you wouldnt find on google pixel /xl
^^what they said! and has wide angle camera feature! and already has a lot of activity on XDA! Cool

YESSS you said it!
My main consideration in going with the v20 over the pixel was this is google's first phone. I think that alone increases the chances for problems. Plus, where I'm at, there's no actual physicall store selling the pixel. I'm more comfortable being able to go to a store and talk to someone if I have a problem and need replacement.

Facts which can be chosen based upon preference.
I preordered the V20 based on these items below.
- Availability, the XL is out of stock for how long no one knows.
- MicroSD support
- Removable battery (Not a must for me)
- Audio experience.
- Camera has a lot of features, but quality could be a 50/50?
Thats basically it. Everything else would be preference honestly.
The PIXEL XL is just a bad ass phone.

Samsung unveiled its new Galaxy S8 and S8+ to the world at the Unpacked event in New York.
These new devices are equipped with many new features.
I like first-time features of the new Galaxy S8 and S8+.
I think the main difference is size only.
Do you any other difference?

bigger battery in the s8+
Yep. Other than the slightly larger batter (3500mAh) and larger display (6.2"), there's NO difference between the 2 phones. If you're stuck between the 2 devices, it just comes down to preference. I will say that if you plan on using the fingerprint scanner, because it's in a kinda odd position, the S8+ might not be as good, if you have smaller hands.
In my personal experience with the S8+, I have small hands, but I didn't find it that bad. Though, that might be because I'm used to holding my phone in my right hand anyway, so I have no issue with the placement, except for it's barely distinguishable from the camera. XP
Besides that, for a 6.2" phone, it doesn't feel HUGGGGGGGEEEEEEEE, compared to something like the iPhone 7+ or Nexus 6, which is why it took me like an hour to make up my mind between the two, haha! And despite me picking the S8 over the S8+ to pre-order, I'm tempted to switch it...

I took another look at the S8 & S8+ again today, which I swear I've gone to Best Buy so much recently that the guy who works in the Samsung Experience area recognizes me, haha. XD It's only because I'm still struggling to figure out if I wanna switch my pre-order to the S8+ or not.
Funny enough, he totally sympathizes with me too because, while he loves how the S8 & S8+ look and such, he's unsure if he wants jump on ether of those or wait until the next Note comes out (as he currently has the Note 5).
While I pre-ordered the S8, the more I compare the 2 variants, the more I'm leaning towards the larger one. I'm scared to jump the gun because I'm worried that I might regret it and... I'm trying to avoid that restocking fee at all costs, lawl. I still have time to decide if I wanna switch, but derp... ^^;

The difference is one has + in the name and about 100GBP/USD more in the price tag
Oh yeah, that too with the price. ? Besides the slightly bigger screen and battery, that I mentioned in an earlier post.
If you're in the US, Best buy has one of the better deals, as you can save up to $100 on the phone ($50 on the S8 and $100 on the S8+), so the price isn't as big of a dent. With the discount, the S8+ is basically the cost of the S8 at full price, so at least for me, it's a more viable option.
If you're outside the US, then I'm extremely uncertain with and discounts or deals there are, if any. Someone else here might have a better idea on that one.

I find the plus just a bit too tall for comfortable pocketing and one handed use. If it were a couple mm's shorter it would have been a no brainer. I'm a little afraid that the S8's narrowness is going to bother me compared to my S7E. But maybe I'll just enjoy the large screen and easier reach on such a nice pocketable phone. By the time you case many of these large phones they become just too bulky for my taste.
EDIT: Just did the Best Buy side by side compare with my S7E. Ordinarily I would have picked the plus, but the little slick plain S8 is so portably nice, it is hard to resist based on typability, pocketability and one handed use overall. Not that the plus isn't very cool to hold an use and the most manageable "BIG" screen phone out there in my opinion, but the S8 is just too good without having to literally stretch both in use and pocket and holds it's own next to the wider S7E. I'm also making the decision with a view towards how the phone will plump up with a case. Anyway, I'm sticking with my regular S8 order.
xgman said:
By the way, has anyone else noticed how Best Buy increased it's no contract retail priced S8's by $100 over anyone else! ($820 vs $720 retail?) Shame on them. The good deal there requires signing up or adding to a existing contract.

Really? I just checked their site and it's still $749.99 for the full retail price. (well, besides Verizon, as their full price is $719.99) Yep, it does as with the payment plans, that's where the carriers make their money. Not on the phones themselves as they get them cheaper from the manufacturers. That's what I was told when I asked why the deals only work on the payment plans.
the s8+ does have 500 mah more battery but how effective that is in the real world is up for discussion, especially since the screen is .4 inches bigger.
I ordered the regular s8, the guy at Tmo took a case out of the packaging and let me actually try the phone in my pocket with a case on. It was just a tad too big for me. I love big screens (had the Note4 and Note 7), but for my lifestyle it was just too big (I go out, hike, go to shows, etc.). That thing would break at somepoint! The s8 feels perfect and is also cheaper with a much smaller downpayment on Tmo ($30 v. $130 and that doesn't include the taxes), price isn't that big of an issue for me but I don't want to put $200+ down on a phone I feel like I might JUMP in a year or less (note 8 or s9)...In the end you just got to choose what suits your needs.

Yeah, the battery thing has me a bit disappointed and a little worried and yes you nailed it, "a tad too big". Just a tad, but you can't deny that little tad. I also typed on them side by side and it was easier on the smaller phone. Even easier than on the S&E.
I've seen the international version of the s8+ geekbenched and it got something like 6800 points multicore, that's higher than any s8 I've seen (which are very few actually), so that makes me think that the s8+ could be clocked slightly higher than the s8, at least the international versions. Of course this isn't confirmed by any means, it's just a theory.
A bit deceived by HTC with the U 11 that has apparently a bad 3.5mm adapter, I am searching for a good phone to replace my 1 year old HTC 10.
I saw the V20 is an excellent audio phone with a very good camera and screen but I am afraid of a lack of custom roms and contrast for the screen.
What do you think? Is the V20 too old to fight against newer S8 and U 11 or it's still a strong candidate?
Any lags?
I don't have my phone as I am still waiting for it to come in the mail; However, the spec on papers appears that both phones are similar in CPU and RAM. Is there something specific that draws you to the V20?
question is: why would you want to replace your htc10 in first place?
except you have some problem with it, I would see no reason why you should change it with a v20... unless you're going to use really high impedance headsets... but since you're considering the s8 as a substitute, I doubt have you have any interest for that kind of headsets.
v20 and htc10 share the same SoC, have more or less the same overall photo quality (v20 has the wide angle camera which is useful and nice but you may or may not be interested in landscapes), v20 has a better screen, but altogether it's not a great step forward from the htc10.
so... if listening to lossless tracks with high impedance headsets isn't your top priority, you can either keep your htc10 or go for the s8. otherwise v20 is a no brainer, together with the korean g6.
if you're just looking for a fresh new smartphone, s8
Well the v20 has an IR blaster and a removable battery. That alone makes it a step up from the HTC 10. The S8 and u11 don't have enough specs to make up for that IMO. If I was buying a phone today, I would personally choose the v20. I Love mine!

Not compared to the U11 you mentioned - that's only 5g lighter.
The V20 is well engineered and solidly built, that's a plus. A case adds very little extra weight.

I think a dbrand skin will be perfect no? it will make it prettier and protect it against scratches
I've dropped my phone several times. This phone is built to last, you don't need a silly case over it covering up all the sexiness lol
I got rid of my V20 after 5 months I hated it. Battery life was awful. The look and feel was cheap. The speaker was tinny. It was very sluggish from time to time without a reason. The screen was very good for a LCD. Dual camera was fun and pictures came out well most of the time but nothing to brag about.
