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

"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.

Hands-onIt's quite the piece of phonery. As soon as you turn it on, you'll notice two things — the buttons, of course, and the screen. You may or may not be digging the buttons, but I think you'll like what you see when you look into the face of the G2. O...
Abstract: LG has come a long way from promising but flawed high end Android phones to the well received Optimus G Pro phablet and now the G2. The G2 carries on for the Optimus line (LG has dropped the Optimus name here), and it's a very good smartphone with no cave...

The LG G2 is a specification powerhouse and it is refreshing to see such an excellent Android smartphone compete with other devices like the HTC One and Moto X. I loved seeing the minimal side bezel and after a couple of days I was thinking of buying one ...
