SPRINT HTC ONE VS AT&T LG OPTIMUS G (Mini review)(Comparison Pics & Benchmark Scores)
I recently had to switch carriers so I purchased a HTC one for sprint and I still have my OG-E970 unlocked for T-Mobile
after leaving AT&T.
Honestly I still prefer my Optimus G as of my first week with the HTC One .The boom sound that they made a big stink about is not even that loud as they made it out to seem.Comparing the sound to quality is the thing.The optimus g is louder but the clarity of the boom sound is what makes it better and clear when it comes down to music and videos.I prefer the features of q-slide and quick memo compared to the new blink feed and other HTC apps.Graphic wise I really don't see a big difference.The highest brightness level of the HTC one is a little more then half of what the Optimus G can produce with brightness.The 1080 screen compared to the OG is more clear but not much of a difference to the naked eye.
Both get hot after playing video games and watching movies because of the quad-core chips.
The OG has a slot for micro sd which is great but 32g with the HTC One is fine for me.
CAMERA:The HTC is the better camera front and back but the 4mp(ultrapixel) is useless for anything past social network sharing while the 8mp for the OG is good for printing pictures.You also lose quality when you zoom into pictures with the HTC One but fantastic with low lighting.
This is my mini review,If anyone has any questions about the phones compared to each other.Just ask
And no I'm not abandoning my OG and this is not a goodbye post.Just a phone geek with more then one phone and against the mediocre fame of Samsung.And as a fan of both LG OG and the HTC One for different reasons,Let me ask you.Will we ever get to see a video comparison of these phones on YouTube?Not with Samsung and Apple running around town.:what:
This is purely my opinion for anyone considering to troll.

You should make a video comparison review and post a link. You'll be surprised how many people will watch it.

Kudos for having the guts to post this. XDA, (Especially LGOG) community is very sensitive. They'll probably find offense to this some how lol. Very honest review. I know you picked your likes and dislikes of both phones but whoch would you seriously see yourself using daily? Not in terms of specs, or popularity, but which is more stable and fluid for everyday use?

Considering I only had the HTC One for only a week,there's possibly shortcuts I haven't figured out for daily use but I take many pictures with both phones and quick capture is better with the HTC for multi shots.For multi tasking when I watch movies and YouTube videos and I wanna text at the same time,OG is great for that.Both is terrific for playing apps since both screens are both 4.7 in screens.But to answer your question.The optimus G for multitasking when your bored or at work and The HTC for pictures and movies because of the boom sound speakers.So daily use would be the Optimus G (solely my opinion)

4mp is only good for social media purposes?
Come on....even your full HD TV is only just 2mp regardless of size and at 60 inches you're probably going to be standing a few feet back and still be amazed at how sharp the picture is!
HTC is not dumb to put a smaller MP count camera...it's the size of the pixels that matter when it comes to quality!
Granted 6mp would have been nicer for cropping purposes...

+1, marketing really has these guys good. I doubt any of you are printing poster shots. Also the camera wrecks everything, ever, in low light.
I never said the camera wasn't good but honestly if you try to "blow these pictures" or even zoom in,it loses quality a ton.

Obviously if you exceed 100%. But at 6mp you can print poster size no problem.
I have a 5DMII and when I zoom past 100%, even the 21mp image looks crappy. I stopped pixel peeping a while ago when I realized I would never print past 16x24.

I wanted to print 32x48 last year and when I got the quote, I couldn't get myself to do it. Plus I couldn't find a frame that size readily either.
But seriously though I hardly remember that my phone even has a camera.

Absolutely love this phone. I've had all the flagships and this is fantastic. My only gripe is the battery isn't very good on mine. Falls fast even when sleeping. Coming from an N4 I'm used to bad battery, but I was hoping for results like the rest of you. Oh well.
I posted this today in the Moto X forum LG G2 vs Moto X
I have to say I owned the s4 the HTC one the Moto x and just yesterday traded the X for the LG G2 I love this phone Screen is fantastic Battery life is incredibly as far as UI it's like touch wiz but no lag. Also we have achieved ROOT I'm on verison. All in all this phone is superior to all devises out. Just my opinions. Android Rules!!!!#####

You're kidding, right? The camera is better than the S4 and one of the best out there right now. Aside from the numerous reviews confirming photo quality, I have done my own comparisons with the GS4 and Lumia 1020 and it's right on par. If you're getting bad photos, you're doing something wrong.

GPS
The G2 is a great upgrade over the Rezound. I've left my Rezound in airplane mode and G2 still has more juice left over the same period. But... there appears to be an issue with the GPS lock on the Verizon models, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485088&highlight=gps. Most of the people in the thread are with Verizon. I just flashed Clean ROM and am going to test out the GPS, but it looks bleak.
The g2 is the way to go. Blows away the rezound. Going from worst battery to best battery is very nice
Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk
For those of you that have the G2, how do you like the camera? Have you all noticed any shutter lag with the camera while taking pics of objects in motion or low light shots? I ask because at the G2 forum there are many people having issues with the shutter.

I've had the G2 for a little over a week. I love my Rezound, but there is no comparison. The screen is beautiful. The phone is incredibly fast. The camera is the best I've used in any device. And the development community is pretty damn good. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development-verizon
If you're due for an upgrade, I wouldn't hesitate to go for the G2.

Ya I agree with that. But that actually makes the G2 even more of a major contender in my eyes because it's popularity is still growing regardless.
Couple that with Samsung's basically failed watch campanion promotions. And the rumored improvements to come on the G3. And I think LG has the foundation for an epic device long term. As long as they clean up the software.

I agree with that also. The screen is plenty big. If I want a bigger screen I'll just use a 7/10 inch tablet. Bigger screen on a phone just isn't practical in my opinion and intrusive in most cases.

Have you tried out the Vutalk feature yet? It seems cool/fun but I don't know anyone else with an LG phone, unfortunately, so I can't test it out myself.
Other than the slippery back, easy-to-scratch screen, mediocre speakers, and lack of cute aftermarket cases, I LOVE the G2. The Knock On feature and battery life are so damn amazing. Every phone should implement Knock On!
I have super high expectations for the G3 after being wowed by so many of the G2's features. The "delightful discoveries" page is great!

I have had the G2 since mid December. I gave my wife my old S2 skyrocket and sold a HTC one x I used as well.She loves my g2 and how stable it is..I offered to buy her a Optimus G or G pro off eBay but I can't get her off her skyrocket.She said when she needs another phone she will for sure want a lg because of the UI.
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
We bought G2's the day after it launched in Canada. And 1 S4 which is being used as a toy by my youngest. I have a MacBook which I love, and an iPhone 4 which I loved. I was all set on getting the entire family on iPhones by the end of last year. And then the unthinkable happened: at my daughter's request I started looking at Androids. At first I was 100% opposed. But Apple's lacklustre iPhone 5x announcement and their refusal to make a bigger screen phone sold me on Android. And now I would laugh in the face of any offer to switch back to iPhone. The G2 has been the best phone on the market since it came out.

Ya family is for sure not regretting switching from iPhone to the G2. I'm just hoping the G3 is going to live up to the rumors or exceed them. I really don't plan on switching phone brands in the future. Or is anyone in our house lol.

My last two phones were Samsung...never again. I went to get my G2 on Friday, the Verizon store was sold out and so were all the stores in the area. The sales rep ( a family friend) just ordered it online for me and should arrive Monday.
$99 for a 32 gig phone with these monster specs? Yes please!
Hi I just am not quite sure why the video and pictures are just the worst I have ever seen. Even a $20 Huawei is far superior when it comes to Image/ Video Capture.

Are you running the stock ROM or are you running a custom ROM like Cyanogenmod? Many custom ROM's do not have picture quality as a priority. There is a Camera MOD you can try that was made for the Optimus G that was put out a few years back. Many people say they saw an improvement when they applied it. The link is below.
