Very nice review! Yea the G6 grows on you.

The guy says, no SD slot? In Gsmarena says the oposite, what is true?
I heard him say Adaptable Storage in the earlier part of the video, which is a feature that I think came with Nougat (maybe MM?) where you could combine your Internal Storage with a micro SD into one larger storage space. The downside being SD is generally slower, so all storage my act a bit more sluggish, but at least you shouldn't have to worry about running out of internal space. I', pretty sure that GSMarena is correct, because the Tray slot on the demo unit I saw at Tmo yesterday takes up what looks like 1/3 of the side of the phone. I interpreted that as it's tray is side by side for SD and nano-Sim.
Does anyone know if the US version get the headphones too? I know the US sometimes doesn't get the add-ons in the box, but another pair of what look like LG Quadbeats would be nice!
Edit.. found my answer, Google is your fiend.

I said it has SD card expandable but the SD card can't be used as adoptable storage
I also have thé corean version and am a bit disapointed with the camera... it is like impossible to shoot moving subjects (kids) when inside my house , all the pics turn blurry. You see the same on your side ?
Nice one, I'm soo damn tempted to pick this one up

Can anyone with the 3d please do me a favor and go to settings and SD card and storage , tell me how much in storage is out the box, I know they say 4gb but is no the same after all the bloatwarr , I have a TB and is supposed to have 8gb internal but it only has 2.5 gb available
And if anyone with the og EVO can tell me what you think about the camera ? Does it have better sensor so takes more refine pictures or the same ?
Sorry for the question but I broke my EVO and after calling Sprint they offer me to get my upgrade now instead of the end of next year and I want to make sure is worth the 200$

Personally, I think the pictures are a little sharper on the E3D. Of course it depends on lighting, settings, etc. I had the OG EVO from day one and now this one. It's worth every penny. The memory issue is still a little confusing though. It says 4gb and some is uses for the system and there is about 1GB for apps. Not sure what the rest is used for since everything like pics and music go to my 32GB sdcard. Not sure but don't think it really matters for me. Get it and love it. Don't second guess yourself.

1GB internal ? Damn sounds like they took a lot , well is all those HTC apps most take a lot space , mm I could live with 1GB , I hate passing games to SD cards and some games have a lot memory ( plants vs zombies , peggle, etc ) well I guess is fine I ma get it tomorrow or Friday most likely I'm going on vacations next week so I like to take pics I had the iPhone the last time I went to vacations and it took some wonderfull pics, the EVO does good too, idk much about the 3d tho

So its been a year since sprint released the "Motorola Photon 4G"

I came to what i wish the next Photon will be like. This is all just opinions please just give your ideas,thoughts, and what u want the next photon to look like.
So we all know Verizon is having fun with the 3,300 Mah battery and the sleek design of the phone. So sprint needs to step up the game with its unlimited data.
My idea of photon Q
Design should be similar but where the edges curve they should be a little more sharper.
Screen size should be 5 Inches and be made of Gorilla Glass 2
Thickness this is the hard part i had to think of when analyzing the 3 Phones above so the phone maybe 3/4 inch or less. The reason is the phone maybe come a BIT too thick but all the space provided by the 3/4 inch thick chassis will allow addition of Monstrous Internal.
Lets see ill post a Quote to rethinking my idea

Ok i remember now im just going to slap ideas continuing from what i was talking about from the post
So Basically i want the next photon to be a major powerhouse in the MoPho Line up
So yes the only drawback of my idea is the size and weight by a small bit
5 Inch screen made of Gorilla Glass 2
Made in Q3 of 2012 so it can have Tegra 3 Processor with LTE
Different models from 16 32 64 GB
16 MP Camera
5 MP (or more) front faceing cam
Same Design just a sharpen the edges a little and color to black
Beats audio
If possible remove moto blure
KEEP the SIM SLOT (PLEASE)!!
And ill add on when i have more ideas

Here's my take on that wish list, and I'll break it down by each line:
1. Easily achievable. And I couldn't agree more.
2. If you know Motorola as well as I do, it wouldn't be able to make Q3 of this year.
3. Fair enough, though most phones (except for the iPhone... yuck) don't have multiple storage options. They leave it up to you to buy the bigger microSD. There is a $100 difference between iPhone 16GB and iPhone 32GB when you could just buy a phone with 16GB and a 16GB SD card for cheaper. If they gave it 16GB internal storage, I think that would be sufficient, though I would never have a need for more than 8GB internal.
4. Now you're just dreaming... 16MP on a phone? The photos are huge, in fact they have so much resolution that even an HDTV couldn't display them without shrinking the picture. Besides Motorola wouldn't do that anyways. Not in 2012 or even 2013. I think 8-12MP is a good ballpark range (http://www.androidauthority.com/16mp-smartphones-not-useful-yet-88406/)
5. Another dream... given the LG Thrill 4G has one, it still comes down to the fact that too much of one thing can be a bad thing. I think a more fair resolution would be 3.1MP.
6. I like a sleek phone as much as you do. Kudos to thinking of design. I think a rigid design also helps here. Something that can take a drop and brush off like nothing happened.
7. Beats audio has been successfully ported. You can flash it (if you are rooted) to any device. You can find it at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525226.
8. As I'm indifferent here, I guess to me this could go either way.
9. I agree to that as well. If my contract ends, I feel that I have a damn right to go to any service I please.
Here are some of my suggestions:
Stock ICS (with USB Mass Storage enabled).
Unlocked bootloader (see, I have crazy wishful thinking too!).
2nd SD slot (useful for on-the-fly data transfer, especially being a musician).
Waterproofing (if possible, don't you think?).
GSM & CDMA capabilities.
A nice big internal antenna for good service range.
Those are just my thoughts. Sorry for bombing your thread... xD
EDIT: #7... Can be flashed to any phone running 2.3+.
Dude its ok we hit similar ideas I reviewed you suggestions and I think yeah there good to .....ill write a full reply later I can't see your suggestions cause I can only read or type on thread

1.The purpose of me saying Q3 is cause i know sprint is getting LTE
http://www.androidauthority.com/nvidia-tegra-3-plus-lte-77954/
2.The reason for 16,32,64 GB is cause if you do rooting or any other hack related stuff you may appreciate a high internal memory with a expandable MicroSD slot
3.I know i meant 12 - 8 MP and then i saw this.....(16 MP....maybe?)
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Omni...ad-Full-High-Definition-video-capture_id30469
and about having too much good i'm just trying to brainstorm an idea maybe sprint will see and think about it cause they REALLY need a good phone
4.The design was predicted and a opinion gathers from comparing the MoPho & Droid Razr MAXX to the Samsung Captivate Glide. I had a hard time thinking that part cause i can see right now you and me simple customers who have nothing but opinions that influence cant do alot. I see we're thinking of PACKING THIS BI*** with BADA***!!!! TECH!!!!! Excuse my language im 16 but am highly tech savvy. Back to what i was saying For big specs we may have to make the screen bigger and raised the the thickness a tad little then try making the edges a bit more Sharper
5.i know about the beats audio but i was thinking stock from the company lol but you got me thinking maybe this guy is right i might change that cause DR.Dre over prices his stuff and if we add that price will go up -.- (Take it off keep your f***ing beats to your self...we can just get it for free and Flash it ) Meaning lower price.
6.Who knows if your different maybe are brainstorm is being used as a idea for motorola and sprint as we speak
7.Yeah the contract ending and stuff. If they get rid of GSM ill be mad cause the purpose of me saying keep it GSM Option-able is if are contract ends we can just root and flash Radio unlocking GSM of your choice
8. OFC ICS STOCK
9.2nd Micro SD slot? Hmmm you maybe on to something i know what your talking about but how as we gonna stick 3 chips in a mega pack phone....we'll brain storm my friend. (SD+SD+SIM=3 Chips)
10.Water proofing.....due to the material of waterproofing the phone maybe more thicker Here:http://www.wirefly.com/eCommerce/SpecialOffer.aspx?cid=36210_9d234b3e0831494d94c32625f8296cc2 Thats a waterproof phone and you can see its already thickish
11. Again you didnt bomb since you were the first im greatful
12.Don't you think it should have a 3,600 MAh battery that is slim and REMOVABLE
13.Finally to close up my thoughts a Keyboard and non keyboard version.
Thanks again for being the 2nd Brain in this brainstorm.

SO here's some of my re-thinking
Tegra3 with LTE
16,32,64 internal Memory
12 MP Camera
8MP Front Facing Cam
Beats Audio (Debate Able)
3,600 Mah Battery Removable
GSM SIM Slot
Latest Android Software
MicroSD Slot
Powerful Exterior (WaterProof,ShockProof,ETC)
2 GB of RAM
Get Rid of Kick Stand so space for real hardware is usable
Gorilla Glass 2 with 5" Screen
Keyboard and Non - Keyboard Version
Made in Q3 cause around that time most of the best phones have been
unveiled
Slight Design Change
Upgraded Sound isolating Hardware

not sure about 8MP front camera, I think 2MP is enough for videotalks!
the battery - best idea is to have 2 versions like razr and razr maxx: one will be thin with ~2000mAh, second will be bigger, but with 3600mAh. So, people can choose which version they want to use, because now I found that we have 90% crap extended batteries out the market.

I need to re think specs cause of the phone's Size...
Could be waterproofed with liquipel technology. They already do it to quite a wide variety of devices. Nanopolymer thats chip resistant, adds no bulk, water resistant up to 100 feet I believe... Pretty awesome stuff! Google it.

So only #9 and #16 or the Prediction/Wishlist came true..... over time i did research and looked at Tegra Vs. Snapdragon and Snapdragon isnt half bad. Well due to this path they choose i think ill stick with the SSGS3 :good:
I would only go for galaxy NEXUS or Galaxy S3.
Photon q
Its official! the photon 4g lte is here! and it looks promising!
Except it has a damn keyboard lol, Cant stand that

but it looks like it'll also have the 8MP camera instead of the 13MP one: http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=23408&cdvn=news&newsarticleid=35458
It's odd since many sources seem to suggest that neither version has expandable storage.
Seems sprint version will come with the 13MP camera: http://www.androidcentral.com/hands-lg-optimus-g-att-and-sprint
It will. That flap on the left side of the phone holds a sim slot and micro sd card slot within.
Made possible by my sexy LG Optimus 4X HD (P880)
Can anyone confirm whether the Rogers version will have this as well?
Ill take a Sdcard mount, any day over a higher pixel camera but thats just me

There is a review of both version by mobiletechreview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51FLM6nrsZE
I wonder if the decision of lower megapixel by ATT is on purpose so people will not get it over their iPhone5. GSM and fast LTE and microSD is a no brainer though.
Funny thing is the 8MP version apparently takes better pictures than the 13MP version

Rogers seems to suggest that it doesn't have a micro sd slot, but has 32GB built in storage only.
Also, like the Galaxy S (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) series, it seems they will be branding at least a couple of different models as the Optimus G; the AT&T version is the E970 (once rumored to be LG Eclipse?) where I believe the Rogers version will be the E973. Like CXENTE, I'd rather have a micro sd slot rather than the 13MP camera.

Thanks for the link. It was a very thorough review, and this phone looks fantastic!
The lack of updates for previous LG phones worries me, but they've already promised JB before the end of the year. We'll see.
Going to take some willpower for me to keep from buying this one and waiting to see what else comes up in the next month!

I definitely agree.
13MP on a PHONE???? That's overkill. If you need that pixels, you also need a real lens system.
No removable storage... almost unforgivable. I've got a 32GB mSD already. I'm coming from an HTC Inc, and almost nothing used the internal storage (/mnt/emmc). So, I would rather have 2-4GB internal and a mSD slot.
I'm concerned about the battery... I've had to do the battery yank quite a few times, so .....?
Give me root. CM10 would be nice. Then I'll be "super" happy.
It's confirmed that the ATT version has expandable memory and Sprint version has the 13mp camera. I believe the Sprint version also has expandable memory as well. I'll report back next week when I get mine.

Can't install or move app data into external micro sd card right? At least with ICS, how about on JB?
Nope still only images music etc. Just tried. Its an ICS thing. This LG Optimus G is really nice though, and I don't like GSM LG phones.

probably different antennas and what not, for Att and maybe something to do with the micro sd card, that's only one 1mm wider or .040 of inch thats,not that much unless, you have little hands then maybe, I work with .001 of inch everyday and .040 isn`t much.
Just like to say, I have the phone now for the past 6 hours and it fits my hands great, I haven't had any issues yet with the screen size or anything. And yes not only does it come with a micro sd slot but it also had a 16GB sd card in it out of the box. It came with no headset though just the sd card and charger, also it does have a 8mp camera but it sure seems to take nice pictures.
So annoying, another phone I'm interested in ruined straight away by no Micro SD and only a 16gb version. Problem is with tech it moves so fast that making you wait a few months for a 32gb version means I might as well then wait for the Galaxy S4 lol.
I don't get why we're going backwards in terms of storage.
Non expandable storage is pretty much criminal, yeah. Jury is out on the battery size, but there's no reason they couldn't have included a SD slot - it's less than a dollar's worth of parts.
Even if the battery turns out to be adequate, the lack of storage makes the phone untenable. 32gb could have been lived with, 64gb would be ideal.
I understand where you are coming from but when you look from a "normal" consumers point of view they probably could care less because most dont know how it works.

I really don't see the problem, okay I lie, I do. But it is not that big of a deal, with cloud storage like dropbox (50 gb free with gs3) and drive, I would mostly use the 11 gb for pics and videos and apps, which fills up fast with the new advance camera's. So I automatically have my pics uploaded to google+, upload my videos via wifee to dropbox. Apps, I'm just going to have to deal with it, music is stored on google music.

I have to agree. I dont use my phone to store movies.
I use DropBox & Drive to store music and short video's. With the 100 or so apps I have on my 8GB thunderbolt and tons of pictures, I still have about 1.8GB of free space on it.
Still, it woudl be nice to have a 32GB option, or the SD slot.. very silly of HTC not to have more storage capacity in their new 'flagship phone' ... but 16GB is going to be fine for me for the next 2 years.

Strange...... pdadb.net states that the DNA has a micro SD slot supporting up to 32gigs. http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3950&c=htc_droid_dna_adr6435__droid_incredible_x_htc_dlx but that might have been a rumor or based on the Japanese sister phone "J-Butterfly". The Verizon website makes no mention of a micro SD slot though. Deal breaker for me!
I would have loved if it had 32 gigs on board as well. Then the I could have dealt with the lack of micro sd.
I don't want to have to have to play the cloud storage file management game where I have to keep uploading and downloading and deciding what I want on my phone. I don't mind 16GB internal as long as I have a micro SD slot or I don't mind having 32GB and no Micro SD right now. The problem is files and apps are only going to get larger so by the time 16GB goes away in favour of 32GB that'll be too small then too.
I mean just give me an option to have the storage size I want. 16GB is only like 11-13GB usable..... well over half of that goes to my music and then some games are a couple GB now....... suddenly I'm out of space and cannot record video.
Just had an online chat with Verizon Rep and she put me on hold while she checked and confirmed that the micro sd card slot is not mentioned on the specs on the verizon page (as I told her). I told her that Verizon had made a big mistake (with less total memory than my Rezound) on the DNA. She said "Verizon is not the manufacturer" (Duh!). I said true but it is made to Verizon's specifications by hTC.....oh well! I might be forced into the arms of the Galaxy Note II (which at least has up to 64 gigs of micro sd storage available to go with its paltry 16 gigs on board).
Sorry to say it guys, but you are going to see more of this down the road. This has been brought up by all the manufacturers for the last year or two. For some reason the manufacturers want to push us to cloud service. I can see a 32gb coming out soon, but as for sd card slot.... When I first got the phone for testing, the first thing I said was "no SD card slot". After taking with HTC I moved all my music to Google cloud and found that it works very good with the Google Music player. So what I'm trying to say is you are going to see this more down the road.

I agree. I wonder how long it will be before we see a 32gb version (if we do).

Until Networks increase data caps dramatically, cloud storage is useless.

Yes your right, something needs to be done. The DNA is not the only new hot phone with no SD card slot, check out the Google Nexus 7 and Google Nexus 4. Like I said we will see more and more of this down the road.
verizon spec'd the phone without a micro SD slot. The J Butterfly did have it (if I remember correctly). Drink up more data from them. That is what they are selling now, not phone calls.

I've been interested in getting a new handset since the Nexus 4 purely because it was so cheap, however without a 32GB model at least it becomes useless for me even at the price, it would be like downgrading. Now however I'm interested in buying a new mobile just because I've gotten myself excited at the thought, even though my upgrade is in April and I'm perfectly happy with my GS2. Now this phone was announced I thought great it's basically a Nexus 4........ no 32GB or Micro SD...... FFS!
I'm just gonna end up waiting till April and hopefully the GS4 will be on the horizon and I'll get that, no way would Samsung design it without a Micro SD or at least a 32GB model.
waw

I just realized that you are absolutely correct ! freakin verizon... why else would they make such a small internal capacity, amazing screen to make u watch more videos and no sd storage
I dont know why that didnt click in my head
I wonder how long will HTC keep bending over for verizon ? until they lose all their customer base completely... ?
It's like a crippled expensive horse. I will wait to see some DNA+ edition etc. Then maybe if the storage is right i will buy it

I wouldn't say Verizon spec'd out the phone. HTC took many users considerations into this phone. Remember XDA and/or developers are only a small part of the cell phone world. I'm not saying I like the ideal of 16gb without a SD card, but......
~16GB doesn't effect my choice of any future phone. I got 25GB on Skydrive, 30 on DB and the measly 7GB on GDrive. So essentially those 16GB is only temp storage for photos/videos before I delete them off the phone once i see there already on DB and my music is streamed from Google Music. So the majority of it is for Apps which i don't download many anyways.
You people complain about MORE MORE MORE!! But dam what are keeping on that phone? Pictures and Videos? Things that can easily be lost if the phone gets lost/stolen or outright bricks on you. NO offense
But to each their own
I wan't Google to release a Desktop Client for Android like Zune or ... forgive me iTunes which i can easily plug my phone to charge and everything gets backed up via USB or Wifi.

Not everyone has an unlimited plan, I'm stuck on a shared 4GB data plan w/ 4 people if I go with Verizon. Sprint is starting to get tempting though...
if i absolutely know

I keep EVERY THING on clouds, picasa , 100 gb google drive , google music
I just dont trust verizon to let me keep my grandfather unlimited forever, and i am terrified to wake up one day to realize that i have a 2gb cap to access 160 gb worth of material
between custom roms , and recoveries and the rom backups , 16 gb is barely enough . at that point , where i will have to buy an mp3 player and carry that separately.
and i can kiss pandora goodbye if verizon caps it
the only thing i am certain of is the phone specs and that verizon are flat out without any conscious or loyalty.
dear all,
I would really like to buy the LG G2 through my current carrier, but they offer only the 16gb version (so far). Anyhow, even with 32Gb, I am not sure I will have a lot of remaining space when copying all the Hi-Res audio in it.
To be short, the Korean version has a microSD slot and a removable battery, therefore I would really like to know if the other versions have an "hidden microSD slot" in their non accesible back.
I would be surprised to see that the architecture is completely different, can some of you confirm?
In YouTube there are a couple of videos showing the back opened for the non Korean version, but I am not an expert to recognize any slot.
I apologize in advance in case of double post, but the forum research doesn't work

Could someone move my post to Q&A? I am sorry, I have just realized to be in the wrong forum
Nope. No hidden slot. Outta luck, my friend.
