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

Verizon
AT&T

Too many apps pre-installed (62)

"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.
Faster than Bolt on cheetah steroids, Superb screen and cracking camera, Battery has Duracell Bunny DNA
Quirky buttons take getting used to, Plastic back is a little bland
We can't remember ever being particularly excited about an LG phone, but the G2 changed that when its specs were released, and to our great amazement the G2 is just as brilliant in the flesh as it is on paper. It dispatches its arc...
Abstract: LG 's G2 is the company's answer to Samsung's Galaxy S4. Packing the latest Snapdragon 800 processor and a top of the line 5.2-inch Full HD display, it's quite the handset. LG has taken a slightly ...

Abstract: LG has, for some time, been making rather nice phones that have been largely ignored by everyone. We loved the Optimus 2X and thought it was one of the smarter additions to the Android phone world that we'd seen. It was only with the Nexus 4 that the firm...

Visually appealing, Feels great as a phone, Sound quality for music is insanely good, Fast and slick (Snapdragon S800), Decent battery life
Camera isn't as good as either of the main competitors, Fairly expensive, No microSD expansion
The G2 is easily a competitor for every other high-end smartphone out there. The "weird" button layout works for us, and it's paired with some smart touch functions that are well thought out. The phone looks and feels great, and just works as a smartphone...
Abstract: LG has never made any really significant waves in the smartphone market (excluding the Nexus 4), but it aims to change this with the new LG G2 . It will take on the big guns including Korean rival Samsung so we take a look at the two in our Samsung Galaxy...
Abstract: After numerous rumours and official teases from LG itself, the LG G2 has been announced and it sits proudly at the top of the Korean manufacturer's Android smartphone range. It boasts a mighty set of specifications, enough to not only put the phone in th...
The LG G2 is an impressive return to smartphone prominence for the South Korean company but one which still falls slightly short. It is a worthy rival to the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One but thanks to plastic build, peculiar button placement and less tha...
As far as Android smartphones go, you can do no wrong with the LG G2. If you can live with the awful button placement - and we don't see why you can't learn to deal with it - you'll come to love this phone.The G2 has everything you could ask for in a smar...
Abstract: With the unusual placement seeming to confirm earlier rumours, one does wonder just how many of the other previously leaked specifications are now accurate. Could the G2 come packing a 5.2-inch 1080p display, super-thin chassis and Qualcomm Snapdragon 800...
