I have been a nexus 4 user since an year. Gave it tonnes of thought. Wanted to buy and almost bought nexus 5. But got an amazing deal on LG G2 and bought it. I get a 1.5 times more powerful battery and 2x more in real usage, and a MUCH better camera than the nexus 5. It’s better than all other android phones anyway so no use comparing to anything else.
It’s battery last really. REALLY long. Here’s an example to give you an idea of what’long’ really means: you wake up, read emails, browse the news, facebook, etc for 15-20 minutes. Battery goes down just 1%. You go on your office commute, watch live TV via 3G in your car for a half an hour-45 minutes commute. Also, My Tracks is running in the background recording your GPS activity, sync, bluetooth etc is on, music is streaming, etc. - for those 45 minutes of almost 90% brightness(as the phone is mounted in bright sunlight on the car’s windshield), battery goes down just 4-5%. You spend your workday with intermittent screen time, some facebooking, emailing, whatsapping, chatting, checking your calendar, and some browsing during lunch time. After the end of the entire day with 3-4 hours of screen time and another 45 minute session of live 3G streaming and my tracks in the car, battery is_still_ at 70-75%!
Camera: The low light quality is stunningly good. HDR is also very good. Shutter speed quick. Camera app has good useful settings(much better than the pure google experience camera app anyday).
OS: Having used stock android 4.4(and 4.3 for the most part) on my N4, I have to say that I do NOT miss it at all and I do not have any disgust/frustration at LG’s UI.
Issues: the body is not that strong, so if you drop it a few times(like I’ve done), it’ll start giving squeeky sounds from the back. Cover it up in a good case.(Collapse)Don’t go by the hundreds and thousands of reviewers who will keep hammering you with the advantage of being on the "stock android" experience and the "pure google experience". Issues: the body is not that strong, so if you drop it a few times(like I’ve done), it’ll start giving squeeky sounds from the back. Cover it up in a good case.
so I want to sumup in one word-its worthy phone you will never regeret after buying.Thanks In Advance.
