Absolutely brilliant phone for the money. For people who are ignoring it just because its made by LG, kindly note that Google selected this brand to make flagship and authorized Android devices i.e the Nexus series.
LG has put in their best in this phone. First, the 5.2" 1080p bezel less display is absolutely gorgeous to look at. Pictures and Videos are a delight to watch on this one. Text is so crisp, it leaves no margin to ask for more.
Besides being a Snapdragon 800 device, it provides the best battery backup among its class. I can easily extract 20~24 hours of usage with 5 hours screen on time. Thats remarkable for such a powerful device with a power hungry 1080p display. As rated by GSMarena, the talktime offered by G2 on 3G network is just above 25 hours and an endurance rating of 81 hours.
Talking about the camera, its a 13mp shooter with Auto Focus and Optical Image Stabilization(Only phone to have OIS in its class besides Nexus 5). Daylight pictures are great and full of details and low light images are not bad either. The camera takes a little more time than others to focus but its ok. It shoots 1080p 60fps video as well. After applying a camera mod, you can also shoot 4k 30fps and 120fps 720p slow motion video.
This phone features the best screen to surface ratio and while using it for the first time, it feels like holding a big screen with nil bezels. The internal storage is not expandable via microsd card but you can always use an OTG cable to attach usb drives. I'm using a 32GB OTG pen drive and it works great.
The UI has some nifty customization options and doesnt overload the system with bloat like samsung's touch whiz. One of my fav. is the Qslide, Quickmemo and the Cliptray. With Qslide, you can start minimized apps with resizable windows and can also change their opacity while working in the background when required. Quickmemo is a memo app where you can save notes in a second.
Being a Snapdragon 800 device, it runs the most intense apps with ease. G2 has topped most of the benchmarks as reported by Gsmarena.
Till now, I had no trouble and this phone delights me everyday with its capabilities. Excellent service as usual by Amazon, one of the most trusted site. I placed the order at night and received the message in a few hours that the product has been shipped. Received it in 2 working days, properly padded with bubble wrap and completely sealed. Extremely Satisfied.
