[G2 General] karkid:
My story is a little different. I had NO intentions of buying the note 3. Having owned the original note i thought it was too big. Anyways last week. My puppy was running around in my kitchen and got tangled in my feet, the G2 slipped out my hand and dropped. Screen shattered really badly. Digitizer and glass completely gone. I then looked into my options in terms of what was next as i really didn't think it was worth the 275 LG was asking for a repair.

Picked up the Note 3 off a local carrier, to be honest, you may feel different but one of my biggest gripes with the G2 was the simple fact that the back felt cheap. mine used to creak (could just be the unit i had) but the plastic just never felt quite right. Took the Note 3 out the box and right off the bat it felt much better to hold than the G2 did. Yes i'm saying this about a samsung device LOL, the Faux Leather has defiantly helped. But just in general the phone feels more solid. Build Quality Between the 2 phones, I'd def give this one to Samsung.

In terms of there interface's and UI's both have been Snappy. in the brief 2 weeks that i had the G2 i never experienced a lag despite what i had thrown at it. While i've never really been a fan of touchwiz, felt like LG take on the phone was a little to childesh like reminds me of IOS7. I must admit i got used to the G2, really liked the button placement and the Knock On Feature. Find myself looking for both while using the Note 3. Suppose even though Samsung cheated LG did too with the Benchmarks however the N3 still score's higher in pretty much all of the benchmarks that i've done.

In terms of the screen, while i can't compare them Side by side (not until my new LCD unit comes) I'd say the G2 screen is def brighter not by much but more so noticable in direct sunlight. I had the Camera Tweak on the G2, and i'll have to say it wins. other than the video recording focus crap, the G2 is defiantly a better camera. As great as the G2's battery was the Note's battery is better, yes that's right i said better. Heavy usage on the G2, i was able to get about 4hrs49mins of screen time, where as on the note i got just over 7 hours today.

I don't want this write up to turn into a long one as i Plan on making a head to head comparison once i have both phones in working order again. I will say this though I love what LG has done with the button placement and being intuitive, Build quality is subpar though and the Edge to Edge glass isn't really great if you plan on dropping your phone alot like do. even though samsung isn't known for build quality it wins hands down in this department and yes i also own a HTC one and have Z1 on the way those are in a different league of quality. So to be honest it just depends. the G2 is a great phone, i just feel like the note 3 does everything the G2 does but slighty better. The slightly larger screen if you can handle the size is amazing. the Better battery life and more solid feel in the hands to Samsungs Dev support which was another main thing for me. LGs got something with the Button placement just wish they had spent just a little more time on the quality of the device

Long story short. Creativity and Camera go to LG, Build Quality and Battery go to Note 3,I personally don't see myself going back to the LG once i've repaired it simply because i don't see much hope for custom roms. Hope this helps some if you guys have any specific questions please feel free to ask
