I've seen a lot of people post "true blacks" and "true whites" for IPS, blacks on the latest generation Samoled are actually getting brighter as compared to the Galaxy S, Whites on the IPS on the other hand are a bit of a blue shade (cool color tone) but thats just preference and I really like the whites on IPS compared to Samoled.
With that said, Im also interested on the Optimus Go Pro see if it can give the Note 2 a beating!
13mp pixel does not make the camera better. The colors are better and low light is MUCH better on Samsung.
I have a note 2 and was deciding for a while between those exact phones. I was worried about the screen... but it looks beautiful.
One thing weird though... you have to go into the android settings menu and go to "display" change the screen mode to neutral. The standard colors on the screen are way too cartoony. I do not know what this is default. It almost made me not get the phone until I saw that this can be changed.
I like the Note II's screen size actually if slightly larger better yet,so what is the size of the LG comparing to the Note,if its smaller I understand why you have failed to mention...
wait for Galaxy IV

theres not a single valid reason there on Gpro that beats up the note.. probably if you mention 5,6" screen..? does it have it? oh wait its less than 5" meaning its considered a downgrade for any note owner and.. for the record.. its an LG and it runs ICS still and it has a locked down bootloader](meaning no custom roms at all), with LG your device most likely will end up its life with the same OS it came out.. and all the things I mentioned are the main reasons of WHY never in your life get an LG lol.. heck even the nexus model its having hard times hehe
it's clear if you put this post in this thread it's sure the people tell you that samsung is the best. I prefer samsung.
Dude what are you talking about this phone is 5.5 in your thinking of the first optimus G
Cant we have true blacks & true whites at the same time..?

You've already answered it yourself. You listed all the nice features that make the Note 2 worthy, but you only listed hardware specs that aren't really that noticeable (1080p vs 720p is still not a big difference - refer to reviews of you want) and can be disregarded. Adobe flash is easily installable, and the camera on the Note 2 is superior in low light and color reproduction.
From a neutral standpoint, I'd go with N2, namely due to thermal issues on the LG OG Pro, lack of stylus and slow updates by LG.
Oh, and did I mention unlocked bootloader out of the box and extremely easy, 15-second root installation?
Extra features on the Optimus g pro
Full hd
13 mpx camera
Snapdragon 600 (the new version)
32gb inbuilt memory
3140 mah battery
But you expect things to get better with new releases. ..the only thing I think is of more in that is the snapdragon 600... rest I don't think much of

It doesn't have the S600, it has the S4 Pro, same as the Xperia Z.
EDIT : Yup, it has the S600, apologies! But still, it comes down to whether you want raw power or useful features.
G Pro vs NoteII
G Pro has 13 MP BIS by Sony(Exmor series) whereas Note 2 has 8MP BIS by Sony.
So obviuosly the LG will be on par or better.
G Pro has 1080p LCD display. Its higher res, better colors. While Note 2 has 720p display with battery efficiency and vibrant colours. Almost same. But the LG wins.
The G Pro has the Snapdragon S4 Pro 600 (even faster) + Adreno320. The Note2 has Exynos Quad + Mali 400 GPU.
On CPU terms the LG is somewhat ahead, but the graphics processor has almost double the performance.
LG wins again.
Note2 has S-Pen2.0. None on the LG Optimus G Pro. Shame
Nifty Samsung bouquet of features like S-Play,Tilt, Direct call. Not there on the LG.
Samsung has a better resale value and service network.
LG will not be easily available and will be quite expensive.
The LG Optimus G Pro is a new product which builds on the great hardware that its predecessor provides. Its obviously better.
But I love the Note 2 more. Its way more functional.
Just my 2 cents.
Doesn't the LG also have wireless charging? Not that much of a difference, but worth noting for some. I still core GN2 or GN8!

Better colors on the LG is purely subjective.
Assuming both displays are calibrated correctly then definitely AMOLED. I am not saying IPS is bad.

LCD displays reproduce exact real-life colours, whereas AMOLEDs sometimes saturate colors. But I do get your point. Some people do like vibrant and colorful displays.

We all like vibrant color displays, we'd all have to stick with our old devices if we don't.
@TOPIC - The only thing I don't like with AMOLEDs are the bluish white tones...
There's no doubt newer models of smartphones are designed to out-do the older ones even if the model is just 6-months-old.
If battery life better, go Op Pro!

hey guy, i have a strange question but i bet with some guy that more PPI dependence by CPU strength and screen resolution, or not(??).
what i said that's more power of CPU, then more PPI u can get.(ofcourse the bet is about the Adreno 300)
can you explain me about that more if im right or not? :cyclops:
PPI is about the screen, how the screen is manufactured. Dimensions in pixels is dependent of processing power,CPU if software rasterizing, CPU+GPU if hardware rasterizer.
So a phone with 1080p and 300ppi performs the same as a phone with 1080p and 1000ppi
i think that its not ppi, but resolution is the blood sucker. more resolution, more details,more computing power. which demands greater cpu and gpu powers. and let me clear, large screen size does not necessarily mean greater resolutions. compare s4/z/one with some other devices like grand/mega etc.
also if a device have good resolution and better screen it should use more ppi, which in turn supports ur argument.

PPI stands for pixels-per-inch. Pixels per inch is not the number of pixels; it's how crammed they are together. Resolution is the number of pixels. For example, even though the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 have the same resolution screen (ignore the fact that the S3's is pentile), the Galaxy S3 has a higher PPI because it has the pixels crammed into a smaller screen size (4.7 inch vs 5.5 inch). If the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 had the same processor, RAM, etc, and only the screen size was different, they would perform identically. They both have the same amount of pixels, but the Galaxy S3 screen looks sharper because the screen is smaller.
What strains the processor is a higher resolution, not directly a high PPI. It's the same thing with a computer; if I run Crysis at 640 x 480 (the lowest possible resolution), I'll probably get an amazing frame rate (smoothness) even though the picture will look like crap. Why? The processor and graphics card have to process less pixels to display on the screen. Now, if I ran the game at 1080p, the frame rate would suffer dramatically, but the picture quality would look amazing. The processor and graphics card now have a LOT more to display on the screen. That's the gist of it.
got it thanks for all replays!
Today from work i got the s5 very cheap that i couldnt pass on the deal and currently own the note 2 which i love. Question is s5 worth the upgrade from note 2? i havent opened my s5 yet its still sealed. hows the battery? camera? compare to note 2 ? i heard there is a option you can make your phone black and white so it could last very long? True? Thanks
Of cours its worth the upgrade.

Have you even bothered to look at any reviews of the phone before making this pointless post? It really depends on what features in a phone you are looking for. e.g. smaller screen, style, hardware specs, etc. Supposedly there's another S5 version coming out (launching in Korea first) that has 2560 × 1440 resolution, compared to the current S5 at 1920 x 1080 res. Meaning that will match the LG G3 in terms of resolution currently available in the market which means higher PPI, but on a 5.1" device you're not going to really notice a difference. Also the LTE hardware in the phone is upgraded capable of reach 225Mb/s. The new S5 LTE-A will have the new Snapdragon 805 processor.
Here's a link for those interested

Hi,
i can't decide between the ONDA V975W, PIPO W6 or Odys Wintab 9 Plus.
The main question is if a 1920x1200 Tab is better when it comes to performance?
The performance should be better if they use the same hardware. But I personally prefer 4:3.

Not sure on the others but i got the v975w and i think its great. i brought it just as a cheap portable windows device (laptops are too big, heavy, poor battery life and Android/iOS is too restricted) but ive been soo impressed with it that ive pretty much abandoned my ipad and PC and now use the v975w as my main device for most things.
resolution has never caused any performance issues for me and you can always just lower the resolution if it did.
Sure you can lower the resolution but then it's not the native LCD resolution anymore what normally makes stuff blurry.
I'm not sure if i need 2048x1536 cause for eBook reading i have a Pipo M6 Pro that already has this resolution.
On the other hand i guess performance is only a problem when it comes to games and such a tab i guess does not
have the power to even run them in 1920x1200 - so they anyways switch the resolution...
Hi I just wanted to ask witch phone is the best for PC Vr streaming. It'll be my secondary phone therefore a good battery, a good camera, etc. is not necessary. I've read that you need at least 2gb of ram and Android 5 to work properly. But I don't know which screen resolution you need and if an amoled display is better as an ips display. I found a good deal for the Yotaphone 2 for 160$. Are there better smartphones in the same price range.
Thank you for your help
Perhaps a used nexus 6? I see them on swappa for that sometimes, and that's what I used.
1440p amoled display and huge
I'd recommend buying a used LG G2 or G3. The G2 has fullHD resolution and the G3 has 1440p. The G3 is also a great overall phone though, so you should probably look for a cheaper 1440p phone. By the way, you can still see the single pixels of the screen when using a cardboard, even with 560dpi. Its better than the HTC Vive, but a high resolution should be your main argument .
