I switched for bigger screen, bigger battery, and better camera. The One's camera is pretty ****, I don't understand why people think it is good because every time I use it, it looks like crap. I've had the G2 for a few hours and the camera is amazing so far but we shall see how that plays out in the long run.

Another thing I noticed about the G2 is that it seems the touch sensitivity is better and more accurate than the One.
[G2 General] bryanhayn:
1. I'm addicted to having the latest, greatest cell phone.

2. Needed better battery life.

3. Wanted larger screen.

4. I hate hardware buttons (I rarely use my G2's rear buttons).
[G2 General] agentscuba314:
Camera for larger megapixels. The camera on the htc one wasn't bad,wish they would've increased camera pixels by a little. I also jumped for the screen size. I miss the sound quality of the boomsound. But I do like the fact that calls and text come in a small box.

If you are worried about ui speed, htc wins hands down. But battery life is way better with the G2.

Dont care what anyone say htc it has the fastest ui on current devices.
[G2 General] truckroot:
Made the switch for bigger screen, better battery, didn't like the almost flush wake/power button, and if I had to stay stock the G2 had more built in tweaks.
[G2 General] imucarmen:
I don't own an HTC one but have used one before. It's been awhile so I can't really compare the two phones, but I'm wondering what you mean by fast. When you say fast do you mean smooth? Because there is a huge difference. If you mean fast then just enable developer settings and you can change the speed of the animations. Perhaps you mean smooth and on that all I can say is I can't imagine the one being smoother than the near perfection I see on this phone.
[G2 General] IamPro:
S4 ----> G2

^^My reasons plus other things like better gaming (N64 emu is quite smooth), knock-on and headphone jack on bottom were pluses

Also I didn't know if Note 3 Dev was going to be open due to Knox and my S4 was losing value

Thing I regret is that Wifi Tethering isn't available yet on VZN but I suspect that is temporary
[G2 General] agentscuba314:
When I say fast, when you touch the phone icon the dailer launches immediately when you press it. If you press home it goes right away no lag. When you launch text it comes up right away. Htc put all their effort into out doing any phone in that aspect. It comes from how heavy UI are now days, the one will run circles around S4 and note 2 stock. Go to any store and you can see for yourself or i could do a youtube video
[G2 General] imucarmen:
Ohhhh! I see. I'd like to see a comparison videooff you launching a bunch of apps side by side because this phone launches everything what seems like instantly most the time. So let's see that video ?
[G2 General] agentscuba314:
Im not at home with my htc one, but when i get there i will record it, about an hour and half. Are there any rules about posting links?

Darn you for pointing that out. LOL I never noticed it before, but you are dead on with the comparison. Now it's going to drive me nuts.

Switched because I was tired of the HTC. I had the S4 as well and also grew tired of it
[G2 General] Heisenberg420:
Im upgrading from an s3 and im deciding between the one and the g2. Question for those that owned both devices: which screen has more accurate colors? I want the best screen.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Thank you for that comparison. I appreciate how quick you uploaded it to show us how these devices are side by side.
[G2 General] droidiac13:
Your G2 moves faster than mine when going through the test. I'm going to have to make a video to show how much slower mine is compared to the One. Do you have the AT&T G2?
[G2 General] agentscuba314:
Naw, I got two on T-Mobile.
[G2 General] droidiac13:
Thanks for the video.
[G2 General] agentscuba314:
It's no problem. I do miss blinkfeed though
[G2 General] droidiac13:
It took some being used to, but I ended up liking it myself.
[G2 General] crawlgsx:
Bigger screen, faster CPU, better batter life.

Miss the aluminum build and the louder/clearer speaker but other than that I like everything else better about the G2.
[G2 General] big70tom:
I switched for one reason alone, battery. I'm on the internet a lot, and would need to recharge by 10am some days, by noon at latest. And before you say I had a bad unit, I replaced it, I rooted it, I tried everything.

Anyway the G2 lasts all day, occasionally I'll need to plug it in around 6pm, but not often. So for that reason alone the G2 TOTALLY exceeded my expectations.

Some things that surprised me were the os, I love it, way more than sense, the screen, the size, everything. I doubt I'll even root this. Its awesome
[G2 General] Z51:
I wasn't gonna root mine either. I'm on AT&T and just wanted to get rid of the bloat. Only reason I rooted.
[G2 General] sefnap:
I actually never had the One, but I spent most of the summer lusting after it and waiting for Verizon to release it. By the time they did I kind of lost my excitement about it and decided to wait a little longer and see what else came out. Once the G2 was released I went to the store to play with them side by side and the One just didn't do it for me in comparison. I much prefer the screen and camera of the G2, and I really didn't like HTC's button layout. It is a nice phone, no doubt about that, and the aluminum chassis is pretty cool. If Verizon had jumped on it when it first came out I'm sure I'd be a happy HTC One owner, but now I'm glad they dragged their feet. :)
[G2 General] shaungregg:
I loved the One, had it for almost two weeks. It replaced the S4 and I much preferred it to the S4 but all along I knew I was getting the G2 only I had to stretch out my buyers remorse period so thats why I went thru two phones to get to the G2. However I did really love the One, it is a beautiful device and I already miss the feel of it and with the Viper rom on it I was really enjoying it.

I'm an avid reader of small news bits, especially tech and science and I enjoyed Blink feed and really liked the look of the clock and weather widget. Still I always went back to Taptu news reader and it is re-sizable on the G2 so you can just fill up a screen with Taptu and a nice clock above it for your homepage. I wanted this phone for the specs, the latest and greatest plus the huge battery and awesome camera and I like having no physical keys on the front or sides and hardly any bezel. If I were to give one reason why I would switch from the One to this if I had fully intended on keeping the One it would be the camera but there are so many things that the LG has opposed to the One to even mention here.

Lastly I have to add I didn't like only having a home and back key on the One, the mod that allows you to use the Htc logo as a menu button helped but the sweetspot to touch it was so tiny that half the time you hit the icon above it, I expect my phone to be near perfect and then be able to modify it thru root and roms eventually. Right now I'm super happy to have this device and can only look forward to making it perfect eventually thru the ingenuity and talent of XDA developers.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
A lot of people are saying they're holding off on rooting their phone right away. That's saying something. I'm feeling the same way. Pound for pound this phone delivers
[G2 General] id10terrordfw:
For me it was the 5.2" beautiful screen. And the lock screen. I love LG's lock screen since I had the Optimus G. I only rooted for Titanium Backup and AdAway, otherwise there is no reason to.

[G2 General] lyrical1278:
Switched from S4 to g2. My biggest issues were performance, battery, and screen. Camera was a factor also.

I'm outdoors a lot and the s4 screen is the worst outdoors. The camera was OK made better by the features. But, again, I'm outside a lot. Plus I'm a cook so seeing the difference is night and day to me.

The software on the g2 seems better optimized for the hardware. Could be the hardware is making up for any lag that could be present otherwise but I always enable developer options so I can increase animation speeds. This thing is like butter.

Back to the screen. The glass is built for swyping. And the battery is crazy. I listen to music and check emails and social media on my way to work. Took an hour for the battery to drop below 100%.

I know I'll keep with stock. Added root so I could use viper4android... This is a phone worth sticking with for awhile.
[G2 General] htcm7:
I am trying to sell my H1 to get this one. Wish me luck on this :)

Reasons

- poor camera quality on H1(ultra purple, deteriorating over time, etc)

- bad customer service on HTC

- difficult to replace battery (doubt HTC sc on my country could replace it without damaging the phone, what the hell they thought when designing this phone?)

On the stock phone, I hated how Blinkfeed took up a whole damn window. Hated how the phone chewed through ~40% battery life in 1-1.5 hours with the GPS on and screen at 50% brightness and nothing else running in the background. Disliked that there were only the back and home capacitive buttons, rather than the normal 3. Disliked the purple/red/blue-tinted camera. Found it odd that there was no Korean support on the stock HTC keyboard (quickly remedied that with Swiftkey). I loved the HTC One but after having built up my expectations for months (thanks Verizon!), I guess I was expecting the impossible.

The G2's UI is a lot heavier but doesn't lag or stutter one bit. Battery life is nearly the same as my old Note 2, which is quite an impressive feat in and of itself. Screen is beautiful; easily readable outside while being dim enough to read in total darkness without hurting my eyes. Build quality is comparable to Samsung's devices (some creaks and flexing), but overall a much better phone for my needs.
[G2 General] danjus:
Yes, G2 is much better phone, I sold HTC ONE and I'm astonished with G2 display and speed, software is perfect from the box, if you have any doubts, just buy G2,you will not be disappointed
[G2 General] m3lover1:
I switched because I like the hardware of the G2 more. Yes, the One has a more premium feel and materials, but also because of that I am always scared of dropping it due to being very slippery. The screen is bigger, better processor, better form factor. Also the front of the G2 is amazing with the extra small bezels. I also hated the two capacitative buttons, always a fan of the on screen button. And the damn power button, stupid placement and it's absolutely flush with the phone, no good!

One thing I do hate about the G2, the damn menu button on the nav bar. Why LG, why?
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Auto Hide Soft Keys app bro! Get that it works wonders
[G2 General] m3lover1:
I will probably after I root it. But I don't mind the nav bar being there, sometimes I like it actually. I need to find a mod that can get rid of the menu button and replace it with the recent apps button.
[G2 General] mdroid60:
Battery life!

Very pleased with the G2's battery life, and while the One's was good, this is much better
[G2 General] HoosierInFL:
Is there a way to remove the soft keys without root? My company requires the use of Mobile Iron, which won't work with a rooted phone.
[G2 General] zachary.hilliker:
This right here, I actually still have my one and love it, but I can't be away from an outlet long on it. This G2 is amazingly snappy, has the extra button (or two) that I was missing, and lasts far longer on a charge
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Dont hold me to it but I think auto hide soft keys works without root
[G2 General] joeliotta:
Hide Soft Keys

I would absolutely LOVE to find a way to hide soft keys without root! I rooted my S4 and was the first time I rooted but couldn't figure out how to stop getting notified that there was an update from VZ daily so I'm hesitant to root again, but I hate having the soft keys there. I hated them on the HTC One too and these are even worse. I always hit them instead of the spacebar.

I loved the camera on the HTC One. Image quality wasn't the best but I wasn't blowing up pictures to be posters and the UI was by far the best. I would LOVE to have the camera UI on this phone and having ZOE would be even better, but I've realized that's just a pipedream. I wasn't in love with the speakers on the HTC. With Beats on, the quality was good but volume was low. I love the LG overlay on the G2, just wish they made a white G2 for Verizon. Battery is amazing, screen is amazing, camera is amazing.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Wait....Verizon doesn't have a white G2?! What??? I wonder if its coming soon or something like that. Most carriers had the black ones available @ launch and then introduced the white versions shortly afterwards. Maybe that's the case here too?
[G2 General] player911:
I woulda bought a white. Maybe because Verizon changed the back buttons that they only have 1 color.

Larger Screen size

Lighter weight

Lesser bezel

Larger battery

Camera picture quality

Front & Rear camera capture (simultaneously)

Larger LED notification light

KNOCK-KNOCK feature (best of all)

Faster charging

On-Screen buttons

More features than Sense but less hogging than TouchWiz.

I do miss the front facing speakers however. The ear speaker call quality is equivalent to the One but when watching a movie or YouTube, the One is much more clear and louder. The G2 speakers aren't bad like the Note 3 which is horrible IMO.

Don't mean to hijack but I'm curious about what the battery life of the One averages out to be. Know someone considering it.
[G2 General] malek777:
I can't give an exact number but probably 2.5 to 3 hours of browsing on lte. A lil more on WiFi vs 6-7hours of browsing on the g2.
[G2 General] SKyRocKeting727:
The screen is sharper but it looks tiny especially with all that bezel. I find it more enjoyable with the larger screen even if it's only .5 difference. (I had the OG Note). Plus the colors on the G2 screen are really vibrant and pops out. Might be inaccurate but it's pleasing to the eye.

Build quality, not really. Mine has little gaps and the glass screen isn't flush with the speakers. Don't even bother saying it's not a big issue because it is. HTC has poor quality control. Go to the forums, there are plenty of people that have the same build quality issues. The only quality the One has over the G2 is the aluminum black. The surroundings are plastic and it is cheap, the charging port is already scraping off. The buttons are loose and slides left and right. The SIM card slot isn't a tight fit so sometimes the phone can't read the SIM card. (Some people put transparent tape to fix that issue). It charges REALLY REALLY slow even with a smaller battery. The notification light is useless, it can't be see, so itty bitty. No phone is perfect, the One was nice but far from perfect. I'm planning to sell mine that's for sure.

Boom sound front facing speakers are the only thing I will miss from the HTC One.

I made the mistake to have a look at the G2 in my local electronics store and immediately fell in love with the gorgeous screen.

When I took my One out afterwards it looked so ridiculously small. Also the small bezels are really sexy.

Meanwhile I also appreciate the LG rom with all its hidden gimmicks a lot.

The only real drawback is the sound and well - the plastic body. But the overall deal is much better with the G2.
[G2 General] SKyRocKeting727:
Same here, when I played with the demo G2, first thing I did was web browse on it and was impressed how snappy it was. The sd800 is no slouch. The screen was gorgeous compared to my One. I couldn't believe how they manage to cram a larger screen and still have the same measurements as the One. Besides the glossy finger print magnet body, I found the G2 very appealing. The speakers aren't as good but I prefer a larger display without sacrificing one hand usage.

I traded in my Note 2 for the HTC One because I found the screen to be just a touch too big for me. Over the months, I've felt the One's screen is just a touch too small, so I was waiting for a 5.ish phone to come around. From the ones available now, it seems the G2 is the best of the bunch.

I never did use Beats Audio much since I use it in my car a LOT and Beats makes everything sound bad. I got bored with Zoe after a few weeks, and ever since Google introduced their automatic animated .gif maker, I found even less use for it. I ended up not using any of the features that made the One so initially appealing. The LG has more features that I will use regularly.

The LED light on the One sucks, so it's nice to have a multicolored extravaganza once again. Auto screen dimming isn't that great either. Plus I am the kind of person who can't stick with a phone longer than 6 months. Gotta have the latest. And if I want to be real nit-picky, I hate hardware buttons.

The only thing I'll miss from the One are the speakers and dual microphones (which made for incredible concert recordings). Dunno how the LG compares with its mics.

The G2 has 2 mics. The ATT version has 3. There is a awesome review video that explains the microphones and how good they are.

Hi guys

I´m thinking about switching from One to G2, i felt in love when i saw it.

I´m interested in your impressions about sound quality with earphones.

LG G2 carries the latest Wolfson WM5110 DAC, good news so far.

HTC One carries Qualcomm WCD9310, same as Xperia Z, but has a bult in amplifier so the sound doesn´t distort when played at high volumes.

It is an important matter for me, i know the speaker sound would always be better with HTC One, gotta say i love it, but i would be willing to switch if the experience of playing music with the LG G2 is satisfying enough.
[G2 General] onim21:
Hi cesarleeds.

Before G2 I had Galaxy S3 with Wolfson audio. All magazines wrote that this is very good music player. It was true. Now with Viper4Android + Audio-Technica ATH-CK9 I feel that G2 is better than S3. For me One and all phones on Snapdragon 600 are very poor.
[G2 General] cesarleeds:
Hi.

Also had S3 for a while, however i was coming from Xperia ARC, and man i don´t know what that phone had, but the quality when listening music was superb, i think it was the latest Sony smartphone using their own Sony DAC.

I tried many music players and also a few earphones with the One, but not completely satisfied, it plays nicely some styles of music, while others sound bad, i still haven´t found a proper, general, setup for all my music.
[G2 General] Lowresolution:
I jumped from the HTC One to an Iphone 5 , then came over to the G2 ! . Absolutely loved the phone , the battery life is just outstanding. I jumped from HTC one to Iphone 5 just for the battery. Now the G2 gives me alot more battery time then the iphone 5 even .

The only thing i hate about the phone is the performance of the Camera when indoors. The result is absolute junk no matter what setting i try at . The picture comes out to be washed out. Same is the result with the indoor video as well .

I wonder how is everyone in this thread saying that the camera is perfect / marvellous / excellent etc :)

As much as I love the G2, it won't compare to the One if audio is important to you. The recording capability is good. The audio sounds good, and it sounds good through headphones, but it isn't the One. The One sounds amazing and is much louder.
[G2 General] onim21:
Sorry bro, but One doesn't sounds good. It's Snapdragon 600 so is one of worst music chips in manufactured arm processors. One has Beats Audio which make sound better, but this is false. It makes only bigger bass. It's good for pop/techno music, but not for rock or metal.

Yeah, that´s how i feel, it depends of the music style u listen to, sometimes it sounds good, clean, sometimes kind of sounds bad, heavy.

Gud thing is never distorts, but when it comes to pure quality, clean sound, it´s not that good.

I would like to know, in terms of that, clean sound, quality, how the LG G2 does compared to the One, specially if u guys come from HTC One and being using same earphones on the G2 that u used on the One.
