Hey guys, I'm from Brazil and after all videos and informations I saw I loved xperia z2, maybe a month from now this device will arrive here. Now I own a LG g2 and is a very good device, maybe the software suffer a little from slowdowns sometimes and some redraws in app drawer when pressing home.
One thing I didn't liked about the z2 was the fact that I don't have an it blaster that I use so much in my g2. So, g3 may arrive here in Brazil in November or December, do you guys think is better wait for it or buy a z2 when it become available here?

Wait till December for z3/lg g3. If g3 is disappointing and z3 is not out then you can get the z2 for a cheaper price.

It's hard to wait for the right moment. If you can wait enough then you could wait for LG G3 if it brings the next next Gen specs then you could settle with it for quite a while since they) that phone is going to beast, furthermore you wait for the best worthy upgrade and so on.

I just saw xperia z2 for 1k usd at amazon, wtf. i will wait to see for how much it will arrive here in Brazil, i hope is 650~700 usd. sony brazil already said that it will arrive here with tv tuner, is a good feature to wait this version. i hope it comes with noise cancelling headphones and a dock.
i saw rumors of lg g3, it probably will not feature snapdragon 805, so no great performance bump, but lg confirmed 2k display. i think i will buy z2 when it arrive for a good price, and then if g3 worth the upgrade i will upgrade to it. but if z2 come here for 1,5k usd or more i will just skip it and keep my g2.
I don't think any smartphone will need anything over 1080p, all it will do is demand more power for a small improvement. This is just my opinion on this of course...

z3 specs is 5.5" with 4k display....
Based on some things I have seen in this forum ( disappointing battery life based on 3000 mah battery, overheating, no development) I'll say G3 no question.

The G3 is shaping to be a little bit of a disappointment, a 2K 5.5" screen sounds like it will drain a lot of power and will make the Snapdragon 801 and its GPU struggle

Like the G2 maybe even better due to the S801 being power efficient and very good at standby. Like your battery life , that's excellent but it seems that it iszt the case for anyone. Check the battery stats thread.

I am looking to upgrade from my Atrix 4g at the end of the month, I am looking at getting either the GS3, Optimus G, or Xperia TL, leaning t'words either the GS3 or Optimus G due to the extra Gig of ram. What are your personal pros and cons about the phone? How is the build quality? I see its rootable yet the boot loader is still locked, which to me isn't that big of a deal since I have only unlocked my Atrix to flash CM a few months ago before the ICS update was canned. If anyone is a previous LG user how are they with updates are they worse than Moto or better. Assuming the bootloader is unlocked and CM is ported to it I will run that but as long as stock isn't too slow I am fine with that.
I am a HUGE Sony fan and am so disappointed at both Sony and AT&T for releasing the TL... it's almost like the hardware was unfished and not a flagship device... Everyone knows the sg3 is a great phone but the screen resolution just doesn't cut it... I want to love this new LGOG and if they can iron out some of these little software glitches this will be an amazing phone for LG if the biased tech writers jump on board.

That's why I am looking more at the GSIII and Optimus G, the TL I'm sure is a pretty solid phone but it does seem like it was unfinished, plus I'm not a fan of the AT&T Logo on the front. I figured since the Optimus G is very similar in specs to the new Nexus if we can get an unlocked bootloader we should be fine on the drivers front on getting newer versions of Android working. I do love the look of the Xperia ION and the TL though. The Optimus G is a great looking phone and has an SD Card slot, I'd have to have my 32gb UHS1 Class micro sd card go to waste.
What kind of bugs are you experiencing right now? How is the stock launcher (I will most likely go with Nova Prime right off the bat, which I run on both my Atrix (CM10 w/ 'those' libs) and my TF101 CM10-nightly)
I say its worth I if you don't do a lot of rooting or Roms. I don't see that bing really popular on this phone. Me I don't do that anymore so I'm very satisfied with it, ui and all

Well the phone has only been out for a couple of days now so I say it's a little to early to say weather the phone picks up. Though you are most likely right. Seeing as the internals are very close to the Nexus 4 though, we might be able to port roms for it with minimal tweaks. I do root and flash roms, but only when I have to, the only device I've regularly flashed to is my TF101 which I flash nightlies every few days.
I can highly recommend this phone. I have only been using it 2 days now, but the battery life is amazing with brightness on at around 63%. From 9:45 am this morning to 6:06 pm now, on high brightness with using the phone like an average user, I have 68% battery left and the is with Eco mode and Power Saving OFF. Very pleased with this phone.

I have Eco mode OFF and LTE is on. Just for a perspective, I woke up at 6:30, and now, 2:37pm, the battery is on 74% which is awesome because with my galaxy s3, the battery life was much worse. Very happy with the phone.
Amazing phone
Super fast slick well built design and great battery life
I also upgraded from the Atrix 4G to the LG Optimus G.. and Wow.. originally i had the SGS3, then i took it back and got the LGOG. Im certainly not looking back. Great build quality and specs all around, only thing i dislike is the camera quality.. its sub-par.
I upgraded from atrix 4g. I love my LGOG. Looks, feel and performance excellent.

I would recommend it. I switched from the SGS3 to this, and I'm not disappointed. It feels very solid and has nice weight to it. It's fast as hell, too.
Returning my IP5 tomorrow, and I'm torn between this phone and the GN2.

Add One X+ as well to your considerations, but I would say go with the Optimus. Its stock software has its fare share of bugs, but in my opinion, one of the most important factors is the potential. The Optimus has superior hardware to each. Its A15 processor is more power efficient and faster than the other two.

Turned out I was up for an upgrade today, not the 22nd as I was lead to believe, so I picked up an Optimus G on my way home from work, I've only had it for about an hour, but I'm liking it so far.
Edit #1: For those of you who already rooted I'm assuming this is the only method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941699? Any issues with it, did you run it before or after running the OTA update?
Edit #2: I tried it myself, works fine.
I've had it for about 24 hours and, with the exception of the stock LG UI (Already replaced with the new ADW), it seems like quite the rocking phone. When the One X+ gets here at the end of the week I'm going to take a hard look at that and may swap out, but I don't think you can go wrong with this beast!
I just sold my S3, what phone do you suggest? I was thinking of the Xperia T, but the S4 chip doesn't seem too great and I don't like the design, they don't sell the Nexus 4 here, the Note 2 looks good but it's too similar to the S3, the OneX+ seems to have bad battery life.

Everyone will have their own opinions and reasons. Only you can decide, so do just that.
The post has no real relevance here either, just try the XDA generic Android forums for a broader view than S3 users.
The S4 chip is awesome and way better than crapsynos 4, plus you get the benefit of a fully or next to almost full working CM10.1 experience. So go with an Xperia T.
Seeing as you are so picky, I would suggest the Nokia 1100. Maintenance free, loooooooong battery life.
But seriously, I would wait till the Xperia Z is released. Or S4.
Good luck with choosing a phone.

I could get the Asus Padfone 2 for the same price as the Note 2, but without the tablet. It looks nice, but not many people have it!
Where are you from? I'm sure you could import the N4?
I would pre-order Sony Xperia Z . It looks very good and premium, hardware is very good and Sony care about dev community.

Main reason why I will most probably get Xperia Z is that Sony cares about dev community and provides needed sources. Also hardware is top and design very nice and premium, without cheap materials.
For me it is time to try other brands.
Right now i would like Sony Xperia Z.
If you can afford it just wait a month or so and get it, i'am sure you won't regret that decision.

Cant think of anything else...but I love my Ultra lol

Pretty much this. Note 3 if you want the S-Pen or the Ultra if you want the "waterproofness" (funny looking word, but it is indeed a word ) and build quality.
Build quality is better on xzu battery isn't bad. But no flash. And not sure if note 3 has ir blaster but xzu doesn't which is annoying.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
I just sold my Note 3 to get the Ultra last week. For indoor use, the Note 3 camera kinda sucks. Battery life is so-so, only lasts about a day. Build quality on Note 3 feels cheap compared to Ultra. I was never in love with Note 3, it's really just the same old plastic Samsung phone with Touchwiz.
If you have 2 hours, you can see the videos from Erica Griffin. She goes into everyday usage of both phones. In the end she moved from the Ultra to the Note 3. Here are the links:

Well considering her size...even the Note 3 could feel way big huge for her.

It's her preferences ofc, plus if you look at her impression about xzu, it is clear that she likes xzu as her daily driver before going with note 3. And plus who doesn't love a new more expensive gadget hey? yeah the note 3 experience is a bit more complete (sans the real estate of the screen that xzu offered which she like the most about xzu) but that doesn't mean that xzu is a loser compared to note 3, no, far from it. It's just that they were built for different speciality.

I would change my Ultra for the next ultra and nothing else. Every time I see a Note 3 or someone holding it I can't seem to figure out if it's really a Note 3 or a Note 2 or a GS4. It just seems the same phone with some new tweaks is all.
Don't misunderstand me, I had a GS3 and loved it, and last year you could spot a GS3 right away, people here had an iPhone, or a GS3.
With the Ultra you stand out from the crowd, and not only for the sheer size, but also for everything else.
Somebody might mock you for the lack of flash or for the impossibility of changing batteries, but deep down you see most people love it and envy your big toy.
But, more importantly, it's a fantastic beast, it doesn't do anything slowly, it simply works and the stock ROM is the most beautiful I've ever tried.
My 2 cents.

@LordManhattan I must now confess. I miss my xzu I've been without it since Friday. Sony received it yesterday and a 're supposidly going to check whether my stated problems are covered by warranty. ( I hope they are ) before I sent it I didn't double check boot loader after ta restore. But I think it's quite rare that it would still be unlocked.
Anyway after using my HTC one since I've been without it I've now decided I'm gunna stay with xzu and not get HTC one max. :good:

One tip though. Call them when they're working on it. My service center has anew online log of what they've done, and I also knew which day they were going to work on it, but I didn't call them to say that they had to swap the display, so I'm blaming myself a little. Don't trust them to actually do what they are supposed to do.

@paulotex Oh god Erica do you see her hand's an iphone is bigger for those if you give her an iphone and a nokia 1100 she will jump nokia to fit her size ....... she just foolin around.........
im a very sporty person, what made me get the note is when during the summer i will be jogging alot and riding my bike.. i figured this wouldn't be possible so i got the note 3. However if someone here can convince me that can happen without a problem i may be switching over because i love large screens =)
I've had both and I prefer the xperia ultra. I watch a lot of media on my phone so I went with the bigger screen. Not a fan if touchwiz either having the gpe ROM for the ultra was another reason. The only thing is don't expect to take it to the gym or anything.

Well, I skate a lot as I play hockey and I got a tiny LG Thrill 3D phone (just wanted a $ 50 cheapo) for the Ice Rink because the Ultra is too big but to be honest, even the Note 2 was hard to deal with when skating because I was compromising my crossovers etc since I had the phone in my front pocket.
But is I was jogging or on a bike, I would think it is easier to manage as you got more places where to keep it without thinking that if you slip like on the ice you can destroy it.
Not sure man but I would go back to Xperia in my very biased opinion

It's hard to convince people away from Apple and Samsung. Can't understand how people can't like the G2...although it's not perfect, it's pure amazing.

Ya only way I'll trade this out will be for the G3. Rumored 8 core processor and 3 gig ram. I'm already sold lol. Slightly larger screen also.
Just hope they refine the stock firmware.

It all comes down to marketing. Samsung did a good job in this & LG didn't. A waste that an amazing phone like this never given a chance to fight.

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.

Yep pretty sexy. No shiny back plate to lol. Should give the Note 3 a run for its money. Even though I think the G2 has it beat in every aspect except screen size.

Screen size is already going a little too far. Plz stop asking for bigger screens
I wish flagships stop at 5 inch screen and leave the bigger size for phablets.

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.

My dad has a G Flex and my mom has a Nexus 5 so in a way we're sort of a G2 family.
But then my sister's the black sheep with a Moto X.

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.

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!
I wanted to buy a used s3 and wondering if its worth...
And would like to know whether or not it'll receive future versions of CM/android.
Honestly its still a great phone as long as you're running a custom/kernel. Buy it if its a good deal. Future cm updates seem imminent as the Nexus S still gets official CM I think

Why don't you want to buy Motorola moto G? It's newer,faster and better
I have bought mine in 2014 and i am really happy.
don't .. Buy a Moto X or Moto G .. way to better
I bought mine from a friend one month ago. In this money(200$), don't regret a second. I sold my Optimus 4X HD one week before ( after owning it a month) and it is a huge update. Please, don't even think about it ( One X also, I guess, as they both have Tegra3). It lagged a lot even at 1500-1600 mHz. S3 still flies at 800-900mHz undervolted -100mV. Yes. I still think it is a good investition. If you find something newer ar the same, or even better price, then go for it !

Galaxy S3 still retains it's good old performance so in my opinion it's a great phone nowadays it gets your work done.
And the combination of Cyanogenmod 11 with Boeffla kernel with some tweaks is going to make the device a great daily driver!
Look for another device if you are not in for rooting and custom kernel/rom. The stock rom 4.3 is terrible and make you smash your phone. Better option is Moto x!

Decided to pull the trigger on moto g...newer device and already has cm11 official. Ty for all the inputs.

Yes definitely. It is still a powerful phone, and with the stuff here on xda, you can get most of the features available on newer models.
not a good choice

Nice device but SGS3 has much much better camera. You also don't get 1080P video recording on the Moto G, or microSD for more storage (only 11GB on the G).
S3 still rocks but lacks threeimportant things in my opinion
1- Build quality & material ( weaker than Note series for example )
2- RAM is consider not much these days
3- Camera is sort of outdated but not important if you are not a camera user anyway
