[T-Mobile LG G2x] wbales:
Here is why I love my G2x OVER the Galaxy Nexus

1) I have this phone on a two year contract ;)

2) HDMI Port, as small as it is, I don't want to use a dongle or any crap thing like that to hook up my phone as an hdmi output

2) Micro SD Card. They didn't mention it....and I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung left this out.....such as the Galaxy Tab 10.1

3) 8MP Camera, the camera on the G2x is SOLID. If LG could just get their as*es in gear and get this working fully on a new Ice Cream Sandwich rom.

4) The Nexus is better only because of the Super AMOLED and Ice Cream Sandwich. I personally can live without the AMOLED and I know for a fact if LG doesn't update to Ice Cream Sandwich that the Awesome Devs here will.

First person that has a full working ICS rom for the G2x I am donating too, and I would suggest others do as well, This is how we keep the G2x on top.

The G2x is a BEAST.....And I love that I picked this phone.

Thanks to all the support from the Devs, can't wait to see the wicked work you guys put into this next generation of Android.

If LG was smart they would get a beta test of Ice Cream Sandwich out on this phone like yesterday. This phone can take on the NExUS

What's all of your thoughts? Still glad you have the G2x? Think it's better than the Nexus?

@wcbales
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
Your reasoning is slightly retarded

1- you should love when ur not on contract...keeps options open.

2- really? 16-32 gb is plenty especially with cloud based services on the horizon

3-wow....samsung makes some of the best cameras on mobiles. MP don't determine everything...

4- amoled....isp close enough for me.....but without source ICS might be tough
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericalanMICHAEL:
32gb is less than my g2x. i have a 100GB music collection and i'd like to take as much with me as possible; g2x has onboard storage (4GB? 8GB?) on top of my 32GB card. 8GB makes a huge difference, especially when there will likely be no expandable memory.

true, MP doesn't mean everything. but isn't this very similar, if not basically the same camera as the nexus s? even if the camera performs well, i think it's a little cheap to not give it a 3MP bump to 8MP.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
Cool 100gb of music.....if your not using spotify to stream amd trying to put 100gb of mudic on a mobile your an idiot.....true the bump in the cam would be nice...but if they had to squeeze a smaller sensor to pack in all the other goodies then ill take it...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JaiaV:
Streaming and cloud services are great...

Except every US carrier except Sprint limits your data usage and Sprint quite possibly is going to as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericalanMICHAEL:
if you're going to try to call me an idiot, please do so with proper grammar. it's a bit hard to take you seriously when you can't even present yourself intelligibly.

clearly, i don't put 100GB of music on my mobile; it was merely an example. the GN skimped on storage, plain and simple. the iPhone gets a lot of flack for being slightly behind the technological curve but even now, it's offered in 64GB. why is this not the same? a bit lacking if you ask me. android phones have come out and absolutely destroyed the iPhone's specifications. i expected a lot more from google and samsung if this was truly going to be a revolutionary phone. it's clearly not.

also, an 8MP sensor is barely larger than a 5MP sensor; that's far from a reasonable excuse for not including it, especially considering how huge the handset is. with EU prices announced, the intention clearly wasn't to make the smartphone cheap. this is the new flagship device for the entire android platform- i can't be alone in being disappointed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JaiaV:
IMO, the Nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus were intentionally gimped by Samsung in order to sell their own, Touchwiz based handsets instead.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
+1. IMO your main reason is money. Cos clearly, the next Nexus will probably be thee best phone in the market once its released. I bet if you had the money to buy the Galaxy Nexus you wouldn't say that about the G2x.

And yes i do love my G2X but Technology is way too fast to keep up with...so there will always be better phones than our beloved G2X.

Prime I would love to have cuz its faster and more than likely gonna get all the updates in the word

Gotta say, i dont agree. GN is a worthy upgrade based on the 4.6" 1280x720 curved screen alone. But besides that...lack of physical buttons will rock, NFC will be cool in the future, it's thin and big at the same time...honestly, what more could you want? This pretty much epitomizes the current generation of phones. I can't wait to get mine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] snoopy1e11:
The galaxy nexus is gonna **** on everything, specs don't really mean alot to me real world testing does. Everyone said the same thing about the Nexus S when it came out because it wasn't dual core but it can hold its own against almost any phone out. The specs on the galaxy Nexus are good they go together like the Omap processor is mainly because of the HD screen since omap has IV3. watch how many ppl get the Nexus when it drops, most ppl are getting iPhones so they can resell them cuz ppl will pay so much not cuz its a great phone IMO
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
Absolutley they did, why wouldn't they use their in house superior Exynos and Mali GPU? They want to push their own brand and Google accepted it. Google is to blame for that not Samsung.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
It's cool that you're content with the G2x as I am. But in no way is this better than the GN. The 1280x720 is now native on Android on ICS. So no matter what devs can do, ICS will never be native on this phone. Plus it's super amoled HD... G2x can't touch that. And the camera ain't even close, the GN takes amazing pictures and video, plus that instant zero shutter lag is pretty awesome.

I love the G2x as much as you do. But it's not even in the same league as the GN.

Powered by a G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericalanMICHAEL:
agreed. the g2x is solid, even performs better than other dual-core 1.0ghz+ phones (benchmark 200+ higher than my brothers rooted sensation at 1.2). i think people are just displeased with the announcement. some serious upgrades, yes (ICS, ridiculous screen, etc) but some features are just lacking. it was the same with the nexus s (single core, no notification light, etc). if you're paying for a GN, i'm sure you understand the piece of technology you're getting your hands on; you're willing to pay for every feature that they're willing to put into the device. if google and samsung are concerned about overpricing the handset, they should be aware that their demographic for this device is specific and that demographic is willing to pay.

i'm selling my g2x and buying a GSII or GN. it's still an amazing device, just less of a powerhouse than some people thought.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jetbruceli:
Wow you all are aware that after the release of this phone, there is gonna be a butt load of better phones to follow really soon. I mean nvidia had to wait for this phone to be released so they can start pushing tegra 3 devices.

I am sure by Christmas we will have quad core phones available and all who ran out and bought this GN or GS2 will be upset.

I got this g2x for like 200 on Amazon no contract.

I have had the option for a new phone for awhile but why would I when this phone rocks?

Besides my next device is the Vita!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] AdamHart612:
True, but those better devices won't be Nexus devices. That is the big difference. After using multiple dual core processors including Tegra 2, I don't think I want any part of Tegra 3.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericalanMICHAEL:
what do you dislike about the tegra 2? i've never used any other dual cores.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Yeah but it's a Nexus man. Same thing with the Nexus S, its hardware got eclipsed in a couple of months when the Atrix came out and the Nexus S was still smoother. In real world applications the Nexus S has been the smoothest phone up until probably the Bionic came out, everything else was either bogged down by Sense 3.0 or just plain out laggy like the Atrix. If we're talking out of the box, and with no custom ROM's, the Nexus line is always the smoothest and fastest, and the direct support from Google is what you're paying for.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barqers:
Honestly I'm disappointed in the new hardware specs too. I wanted it to blow the iPhone 4S out of the water so I could show everyone that Android is truly superior. Now I have to rely on showing them pictures of ICS. And unfortunately most of them are too stupid to understand camera app settings, so that'll be of little help!

Should've gotten like a quad-core, 16mp camera, 2gb ram, hdmi port, 1080p screen, 320gb internal memory, and much more.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] blestsol:
Rude people in this forum. Op I'm disappointed too. I may grab the sgs2 on sprint though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Well my take is right now I use a 16gb SD card which is all I need in a phone. If I picked up the 32gb GN then I'd be ok in that regard.

The upgrade from the Nexus S to Galaxy Nexus is a bigger upgrade then the Nexus S was at the time. The Galaxy Nexus is still pretty cutting edge in regard to technology. The processor, while not the king... at 1.2ghz should hold its own.

The new nexus might be a sidestep when compared to a recent released powerhouse such as the SGS2, G2x, or recent Droid, but the benefit has always been with updates and Google and app support.

The quad cores probably won't be coming out until summer next year and who knows when we'll see them in the US.

The Lack of a dedicated HDMI port sucks as I liked the idea of having it on my phone but realistically I bought a cable and used it a few times. I have a transformer tablet with HDMI out that I can use but probably never will its novelty and not required for a functioning phone. I have my tablet setup for long term "hardcore" gaming.

It won't be a first day purchase for me regardless. I want to read some user reviews. I also have to check with my works Verizon plan pertaining to text messages. I'll probably stick with my G2x if I keep my personal line.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
Now why would we be talking about that? This is something I've never understood; there's nothing particularly sacrosanct about a rom created by a manufacturer as opposed to one made by a developer. When discussing the merits/abilities of a device, everything the device can possibly do/be needs to be a consideration. And so while it's true that every device that doesn't run pure google is worse-performing than one that does, thanks to Cyanogen and his ilk plenty more than the Nexus line have that capability.

What Samsung has done with the two Nexus phones it has built is repulsive. They intentionally gimped both phones as to better promote their own line of branded devices. If Google gives the Jelly Bean Nexus to Samsung next year then frankly they're insane. HTC took the Nexus One seriously, I say give it to them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g2xkid:
All I'm hearing here is ignorance. Seems like a lot of you are stuck on the "NEXUS" name, the be all end all of smartphones. Give me a break!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Tarzanman:
Contracts suck. On T-mobile, your monthly bill is $10-$20 cheaper per month if you are off contract. No contract means I can buy any phone I want whenever I want and switch carriers whenever I feel like it. More choice is a good thing.

It is nicer having the port in the phone, but dongle's have their uses too. They can let you hook up via RCA/HDMI/SVGA/whatever adapters they decide to make.

None of the Nexus phones have MicroSD cards. This is bad if you want to swap alot of data in and out (like movies), but good because your phone doesn't spend 2 minutes re-scanning every time you re-mount the microSD card. Internal memory = fast memory.

There is no way to tell which camera is better until you compare them. 8MP on a cell phone camera is overkill, though.

SuperAMOLED is pretty nice. Don't forget the resolution and all the other features. Non-locked bootloader and faster official updates.

The G2X hardware may be almost as nice, but that phone will always be behind the Nexus line in terms of ROMs and new features.

I know you want to love your phone, but the fact of the matter is that your phone will be yesterday's news in another 1.5 months. It happens to all android phones except for the G1 and the Nexus line. Devs move on to newer and shinier things. It has happened to my phone (Samsung Vibrant).

I plan to pick up the Galaxy Nexus when it becomes available.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g2xkid:
Then why aren't nexus phones best sellers?

And as far as Roms go, what rom can you flash on your nexus that I can't flash on my g2x? And what features are you talking about? I hope not busted ass touchwiz!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikiksaz:
Nexus phones aren't best sellers because they have not traditionally been subsidized by the carriers. There was literally NO advertisement for the N1 or the Tmobile NS. It wasn't until Sprint came along that TV ads aired for the Sprint NS 4G.

As for roms, you have obviously never owned a Nexus phone. Take a look into the Nexus One forum and note how the development section is still alive and kicking. Even though it's nearly been out for 2 years, which is archaic in android standards, there is still active development.

The Nexus One, besides for being the first Nexus phone, was kind of a POS in terms of useability :p The touchscreen would go bonkers every once in a while, the damn AMOLED surface was about 2mm's deeper than the surface of the touchscreen, which made glare a huge b!tch.

And Samsung did not gimp the Galaxy Nexus, that's absurd. They released it with the only SOC that supported all the necessary frequencies and broadband technologies. Exynos does not have support for LTE, so it had to go. There is no conspiracy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:

GPU from 2007, no HDMI, and a Pentile Matrix display. I've switched from "buying" to "meh, i'll pass"

http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/21/the-galaxy-nexus-super-amoled-display-is-a-minus-not-a-plus/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thanasisc4:
I can't believe people are actually calling this device gimped. Insanity.

First of all the display on this device is going to be amazing, I don't give a damn what engadget (those icrap fanboys) have to say about pentile matrix. This is not the same display as some Motorola just because it uses pentile matrix. We're dealing with a totally different type of display here, are we really going to raise questions about pixel density on a 4.65 inch 1280x720 display? Come now.

HDMI will work via a dongle the same way as it did on the GSII, and I have to call everyone out who is complaining about the GPU being from 2007 right now:

The Omap4460 SoC in the GNex, literally just came out. The SGX540 on this chip is not the same as the one found in the Galaxy S. Its clocked at 384Mhz, (almost double) and will be using updated drivers that will work with the OS perfectly thanks to this being a Nexus.

As a point of reference, take the Optimus 3D... that device used the Omap4430, which also uses an updated version of the SGX540. Clocked at around 300 Mhz (and again with updated drivers) that chip was shown to outperform the Tegra2 in graphics rendering.

The SGX540 found in the Omap4460 is clocked even higher and if experience teaches us anything the drivers will be leaps and bounds better then anything ever found on an LG device. In short: it will be a beast.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I get the feeling that you are right. I think I said it somewhere that on paper it looks like "downgrades" but the further you dig into it, it seems everything was perfectly chosen to really perform well.

Depending on my work's phone plan, I may upgrade my stupid business blackberry for the Prime on Verizon. Then cancel my $70 a month Tmo bill.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
As much hype as the Galaxy Nexus has gotten, I would not trade my G2x for that phone. It has an out dated display technology that doesn't stand up at all to the quality of an IPS display (in therms of color and contrast quality). Samsung just makes it seem better by giving it a really high resolution. It costs more than a Samsung Galaxy SII and has the same hardware and the SII will get ICS. The camera in the G2x is better than the one by Samsung as the G2x uses a Sony cam (best in the industry no matter what others say). That and my G2x benchmarks better than the Nexus according to early benchmark releases.

So, in other words, if you want to ditch the LG and go to a samsung, go for the SII cause it is cheaper and utilizes the same hardware with a better screen in terms of technology.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
SGS2 and Nexus don't share any of the same hardware. Different processors, GPU, screen, etc. The screen is brand new Amoled HD. Sure its pentile but the DPI is so high that it negates the pentile flaws. So what's the problem.

The G2x is no slouch and a SGS2 isn't even an upgrade... faster CPU but slower GPU. ICS provides GPU accelerated UI so perhaps the Tegra 2s will be top dog in ICS performance?

The GN does have some benefits aside from direct, constant updates. The HD screen is a plus. On-screen buttons are the whip (think themes). Plus the added screen space when you hide the buttons.

Performance won't differ much. The GN CPU is rated at 1.5 so 2ghz may be obtainable. But why? Its a sidestep with the G2x in this regard.

I'll probably jump on the GN but for weird reasons. My work uses Verizon and I'm due for an upgrade. Right now I carry 2 phones (blackberry and G2x). So I can buy the Nexus and kill my tmo contract and save dough every month. Without this, I'd be rocking the G2x till next year (Nexus 4 or Tegra 3).

I don't know ill do with my G2x. I think a guy at work is interested or maybe just keep it as a toy/internet device/expensive Roku Remote Control

I'm not knocking the SGS2 for its amazing chipset but Tegra2 owns in games. The Nvidia GPU is the strongest available (minus Tegra3) today and eats it up.

The SGS2 gets points for several GPU accelerated apps, where ICS will implement this natively.

The G2x will get a huge boost from ICS.

Anandtech's benchmarks don't agree.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4686/samsung-galaxy-s-2-international-review-the-best-redefined/17

The only time the Mali GPU gets topped is in triangles, and that's just a synthetic benchmark. It tops all over GPUs on the market except for the SGX543 on the real world benchmarks. I still have no idea why the hell Google didn't release the GN without the 543.

The Tegra2 was the first dual core chipset out there, which was out around January. Devs have had ~10 months to work out the kinks with that chipset, whereas the MALI GPU has been out for less than 3 months. Give it some time and the MALI will be performing as it should.

Either way, I don't think I will support another Nvidia product. One thing that's been resonating within all the AOSP threads (hell, you told me this at one point), is that Nvidia is not willing to release any of their source code. It is that mentality that slows down our wonderful devs from bettering the android OS.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Well its true NVidia is holding us back from really unlocking the chips.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the Tegra2 is no slump and with ICS leveling the playing field (gpu acceleration) it might be great.

I love the G2x but disappointed at what it could have been. Gimped FM Radio and haunting power/GPS problems.

The topic though is G2x>GN. And like I said, the G2x might be the faster of the two running ICS because of the Tegra2s power. The GN is having volume problems when on 2G networks. Some kind of interference causing the volume to go wacky. There are also screen banding and visible lines.

All phones have their problems. I'm waiting on the LTE version to make a decision. I want a nexus device so bad and miss the notification led, but I don't want to give up my perfectly working G2x for a wonky under rated phone just to save $80 a month.
