The editors didn't like
Slider hinge doesn't lock in place
Poor speakerphone quality
It's a little big
Your OCD side will be constantly wiping the fingerprints off the back unless it's in a case
There's a lot of bloatware from AT&T
The rear buttons are less than optimal
Carrier models usually lag behind when it comes to critical secur
Update specs to state 1.5 GB of storage space
Keyboard key layout
Lack of tethering support
No microSD card slot
Soso video viewing
Awkward to navigate onehanded
Mediocre camera
Call volume needs to be louder
A tad on the heavy side.
A bit bulky
Uninspired design
All of LG's software design
A plasticky back that feels cheap and greasy
A Menu button. This hides all the overflow menus you should normally see
A huge amount of unremovable notification clutter
The broken font rendering
Keyboard
And app selection
The phone's button layout can take some getting used to
And some versions feel much more cheaply made than others. Its lack of expandable storage is a huge oversight
Odd location of buttons might turn off some people
Strange grid dots that reflect off the screen in the sun
T-Mobile network remains inconsistent
Voice quality
Noise cancellation mediocre
Rearfacing buttons are odd
Far removed from the norm
LG's Android interface is too crowded
Rear keys require learning curve
Dimmer display than other flagships
Remote control feature trails Samsung and HTC
Inconsistent KnockOn feature
Relatively dim display
Back picks up fingerprints
Feels less speedy than competitors
Lackluster camera capabilities
Very heavy
Comes pre-loaded with several apps that can't be removed
Hinge design raises durability concerns
Tethering disabled
Some bugs. Undeletable Google bloatware. No tethering.
The handset's rear control buttons take time to get used to
Its new software features are buried and unintuitive
And there's no microSD card slot
Processor benefit doesn't play out in apps. Some bugs. Not the best voice quality
Uninspired looks
Fingerprint magnet
Heavy UI
Plastic build
No expandable storage
No dedicated number row in keyboard
Not as thin as many devices
Longterm use of Z Hinge unknown
Lackluster plastic chassis
No microSD slot nor option for greater than 32GB of storage
Subpar speaker quality
LG produced a great camera in the LG G2 with OIS and powerful software. There is just too much going on with the notification area and settings for me to recommend the G2 for everyone
Android not completely stockHinge problems could annoy someA bit bulky
Overwrought software
Awkward rear buttons
Slimy plastic feel
You'll want to replace the keyboard immediately. Full of gimmicks and poorly implemented features. You'll wish the buttons were in their normal places instead of on the back. No MicroSD slot. Possibly haunted. Moves around on tables by itself
The G2 doesn't offer tethering or mobile hot spot capabilities. We have some concerns about the slider hinge
Uninspired hardware design
UI doesn't live up to hardware potential
Middling call and external speaker quality
Nonremovable battery
Nonexpandable storage
Pre-installed apps are almost useless
Autofocus of camera is quite slow

"New" tech isn't fully thought through
Battery life not quite up to snuff
Reception could be better
LG's custom skin is heavy and visually unpleasing. Plasticky construction lacks that premium touch.
Abstract: The most obvious comparison would be with the Galaxy S4 , the preeminent Android flagship that all competitors would like to take down a peg or two. On paper and in benchmark tests, the G2 is considerably faster than just about any Android competitor out ...
It may all come down to price for this device, as well as a user's primary needs. For example, in terms of message composition, I did not find the G2 as fluid to use as an iPhone, and certainly not as a physical QWERTY keyboard. And for someone who oft...

The G2 is a really good device pockmarked by a few poor design choices. From the vivid screen to the ultra-fast processor to the sharp camera and outstanding battery life, the device is a powerhouse and a spec-hunter's dream phone. With a case and some patience, this could be one of the year's best Android devices....
Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the LG G2 flagship Android smartphone. In this review we look at the AT&T version, but all carrier variants should be very similar. The LG G2 has a superb 5.2″ full HD IPS display and it runs on the new 2.26GHz Qualcomm 800 quad core CPU...

For a while, I've been writing in my news that LG would become a serious contender in the Android smartphone space, something that the market needs. Right now, we have Samsung and HTC, the former pushing out countless Galaxy devices - with huge success f...
