Everything about this phone is the best.the display is unbelievable, a pleasure to watch streaming video. Just the best I have ever seen. Feels good in the hand likewise, thin and beautiful.The other outstanding feature of this phone is the battery. I can charge it, surf, email,watch streaming content for hours and 12-14 hours later still have 30-40% left. Haven't been able to kill the battery yet. Love the. back position of the power button and volume controls. The knock on feature is outstanding too. The only fault I can find is the slickness of the plastic on the back,would be nicer with a tackier grip. Still the best I have seen.

An Android Powerhouse

This is a fantastic all-around and arguably the best Android phone ever. High powered processor, beautiful 1080p screen, great camera, and best in class battery. The double tap feature to turn on and off the phone is also genius. Only cons I put to get used to is the button placement on the back, and LG's version of Android leaves a little something to be desired out of the box. But fortunately it is rather customizable and you can get it rather close to a stock Android experience with a little effort. Love this phone overall!

This is the best smartphone I've owned so far. It is fast and powerful, has a beautiful display, sports a surprisingly full-featured camera and has great sound, especially the speakerphone. Call quality is excellent, and people that I've talked to have had no complaints about hearing me. The camera is also rather good, featuring 13 megapixels in 4:3 and 10 megapixels in 16:9, a variety of settings and the ability to make adjustments for those who are knowledgeable about photography. Video playback is great and the sound is pretty good for a smartphone. I streamed a movie on the Netflix app and it performed flawlessly (I was using a Wi-Fi connection at the time). It handles Google's KitKat operating system well, and I have had no problems with the phone after it updated the software. Probably the best thing about the phone is the price. With the G3 coming out sometime this year (supposedly), the G2 is on clearance. According to what I've read, the G3 has only a few minor upgrades to hardware and functionality, so getting the G2 for free with a 2-year contract is a smart choice. Unless you have to have the latest and greatest, this is a powerful phone for a bargain price.
Probably the only downside to the phone is the power and volume buttons on the back. Most phones have these buttons on the side and/or top, so those who have used smartphones over the years may find it difficult to get used to the buttons being on the back. Because the phone is of the larger variety, it does make it easier to reach them one-handed, but pressing the button you want can be a challenge, and there is not much that distinguishes the power button from the volume buttons. I've turned the screen off on a number of occasions when I wanted to change the volume. The buttons are bigger and easier to press than buttons on some phones. It is something that takes a little getting used to. Compared to everything else about the G2, the button placement is a minor issue.
Overall, the G2 is an excellent, powerful phone for a bargain price.

Tons of useful features, tools and custom settings

Completely satisfied. Great pic and video quality. Cool camera features. Very sensitive touch screen with a lightning fast response. Loads and streams apps and vids quickly. Only negative is the location of the speaker (next to charging port) at the bottom. The audio gets interrupted/muffled by your finger when you hold the phone horizontally to watch videos. Which is simply solved by slightly MOVING my finger. Other than that the phone is absolutely awesome. Especially the double knock/tap feature to turn the screen on and off. The list of awesome and useful tools features and options is endless. Great phone, couldn't be happier with my purchase.

I couldn't be happier with my LG G2. I replaced my Thunderbolt, which replaced the BB Storm. I have the iPhone4, iPhone5, and Samsung S4 in the house. I was really thinking I'd go with an S4, but after checking the specs against the G2, and then playing with one at Best Buy, I just knew the G2 was the right one. The battery is amazing! No matter how much i use the phone, hours and hours of internet, video, calls and texts, and yet I have never been below 35% battery life at the end of the day, from 7am to 11pm. I often can go two whole days on one charge. Love it. The rest of the phone works great, runs smooth, and is super fast. I'm very satisfied, and cannot understand how the S4 outsells the G2. Battery, camera, screen size, and just the more solid feel of the phone, there is no comparison.

I bought it for its excellent battery life. The Verizon version comes with a bonus, it has a wireless charging back cover. Every few day, I simply place it on the Qi charger, and it is all charged up the next morning. With excellent display, fast processor, this phone is the best bang for your bucks.

This phone is larger than the phone I had before, but I really like it. I thought it was going to be too big but it has worked out. The camera on the phone has a zoom that my previous phone did not and the pictures are clear. The battery has a good life and I do not have to charge it very often.

I think they are being closed out, because I got mine for $199, and now they are $150. Either price is a big drop for the verizon version of these phones. It's lightning quick and the perfect size. The black is an instant fingerprint magnet, but a protective case is now on it, so this is a non issue. I use my phone sparingly, and I am getting 4 days out of one charge--with wifi and gps on. Again, though, I use my phone very little. The phone came unlocked, and Straight Talk just recently started selling the verizon 4G LTE sim card for their service. I put it in, and viola, it worked! (Straight talk website setup was a pain, though). Also, when I plugged it into my pc, I let it install the LG software, and then it upgraded to lollipop. This slowed it down just a fraction, but it still runs great, and it has the new GUI. I"m going to ge two more for my sisters, as they need new phones.

As BBuy closes out this phone, it is an awesome deal at $199 or $150. No contract, keep discount, replacement phone, etc. The Lollipop update makes the phone smooth, updated, fresh, etc. Interface looks almost identical to the G3 and runs better due to having only a 1080P screen. I have a G3 and the G2 performs at or above speed wise. The Snapdragon 800 is still competitive with Galaxy S5, LG G3, etc. I've purchased 3 for family friends (one a month ago, 2 activated today). The month old one is running great. Make sure you do a factory reset after doing all 4-5 system updates and ending finally on Lollipop 5.0.2.

Bought phone about a month ago, coming from an iPhone 4. The 5s didn't impress me at all so i figured I'd give android a try. Lg continues to make quality product, I've always had good luck in the past with them previously and this phone does not disappoint. Big screen, blazing fast processor, and I'm not constantly hitting the off key on accident thanks to the new button layout. Battery is great as well, no problem getting through the day with heavy use.

Of all the smartphones I have had, this is the easiest to use. From the moment you start using it, you know it. It is so responsive. After you have been using it, the phone will actually anticipate your wants. The battery is unbelievable. I am a heavy user, and at the end of the day, I will have used 1/2 to 3/4 of my battery.
The camera is another great feature. Very clear, really good pictures.

Great camera, fast processor, perfect form factor. The minimum bezels are still impressive by current standards. This has the brightest LED flash I've ever seen, even compared to flagship smartphones of 2015. It's been updated to lollipop, but seems smoother overall on kitkat. I have three of these on my account, and no phone today matches it for the overall value. The only phone that I have besides this one is my Nexus 6.

After lugging around a Tracfone & Samsung Galaxy 5 Player for several years I decided to upgrade to a true single unit Smartphone. I also purchased a LG G2 for my wife (pink case). This phone is incredibly fast and easy to use. Phone voice quality is so much better than my old Tracfone. It's as good as a land line. Wireless connectivity is 2x better than my old Samsung Galaxy 5 Player. The features that come with the LG G2 like the knock-knock & slide-aside features make it so that I don't even need to consider a launcher app. The stock phone app is so good that I removed about 3 different Play Store apps that I had purchased to help make my old Android camera better. I was considering the Galaxy S4 but I went with the LG G2 for the faster processor and slightly better camera. I still use a full size DSLR for those photos that really matter but the video is the LG G2 is much better than the one in my DSLR.

I read a lot of reviews on a lot of phones before purchasing the LG G2 and the reviews for this phone were generally great. Some complaints about the sound quality of the speakerphone but, to me, it sounds fine. The battery life is excellent, as good or better than my previous phone, a Droid Razr Maxx HD, which my son has now. The screen quality is outstanding. I love everything about this phone.

Smartphones still amaze me: phone, camera, gps, wifi receiver, wifi hotspot, bluetooth, infrared transmitter, and almost all the functionality of a full size PC, all in a package that fits in my pocket. And this phone seems to deliver the best in class of all those components.
If you are going to argue that there are better phones out there, we would be discussing tiny differences between the top contenders of the day. This model can stand up admirably to its current peers, surpassing them in many categories.
The screen looks great, the processor is really zippy and smooth, the radios are strong, the interface is intuitive, the battery is long lasting, the camera takes great pictures and videos, and you can even use it to call people.
Had this a month now, traded up from the original Droid Razr.

This phone is nearly perfect. It is the perfect size to fit comfortably in a pocket. LG has packed the largest screen in the most compact body possible. The G2 is very sleek looking and feels good in the hand. The 13MP camera with OIS takes beautiful photos and the built-in IR blaster turns your phone into a universal remote control. I especially like the ability to customize the phone such as the text message themes and the layout and color of the navigation buttons. The rear volume and power/lock buttons are surprisingly easy to get use to. The 'knock knock' feature give you the ability to turn the screen on just by tapping it twice which makes it quick and easy to check your notifications. As always Google's Android OS keeps getting better and better but where the G2 falls short is the additional 'skin' by LG. I would have preferred more of a stock version of Android. If I'm being picky, the back of the phone is a bit slick. It shows fingerprints quite easily and is sometimes difficult to grip. All in all this is the best phone I have had to this point.

I bought this phone to replace my HTC M8, which died on me, and was amazed with the battery life. This is also the Verizon model which means that it also has the wireless charging capability as long as you have a wireless charger. One of the best phones out there for below $200

I researched for quite awhile as I do every 2 years and found this phone to exceed my expectations on paper. Then I started using the phone. It continues to exceed my expectations regarding the battery life and speed and functionality of this phone. The camera quality is superb and this speakers are better than most. Everything other phones can do, this one can do and some much better. Love it.
