No waterproof please. Don't want more USB stupid covers...

I hope this turns out to be the device I'm looking to upgrade to.

Better than SGS5, M8, Z2...

A rumor said the size was the same as the SGS5. I bet it's true. With the on screen buttons and no bezel almost it's probably about that size.

5.5 is too big, the size of a Note 3 which after using my neighbors Note 3 there's a big difference in size over my S5. Making it basically a phablet was kinda dumb imo, shoulda made it more like the S5 and a different phone for their "phablet"

You might be very surprised at the size of the G3. Rumors have it "around" the size of the S5. They made the bezels minimum and the screen maximum in the G2. They will do it again in the G3.

I compared G2 and S5 in the store. They are same in terms of width. But S5 is slightly taller. Best thing is, G3 will be $100 cheaper than other flagship phones. It makes it easier to choose it. Now G2 is $100 cheaper than S5 for me.

Looks really good and not too big. Really like the new UI.

Did the -g2 sell?

Don't know how well it sold but I bought one a few days ago and I love it! Much better reception, screen, and battery life than my iPhone 4, and something new to play with. The first time out the battery lasted about 34hrs. and was still at 30%. Now it has been 32hrs. and still on 63%.

That's no joke either. It made the S4 and HTC One look pretty shabby in comparison. Fast, great screen, awesome battery life.

LG just went hog wild nuts on the skin. They really need to take it back a notch or two.

I doubt that is the actual UI.

Wow! 2.5 days now on the 2nd charge and still at 40%! My iPhone had to be changed every night (well sometimes it would go a whole 24hrs). I'm loving the G2 better all the time.

Can you tell me how is battery life on celular data only? I assume you are on wifi a lot.

If I remember well G3 should come with sd slot this time. What about internal storage and removable battery?

New LG G3 rumor

Phone Arena has a "inside tip" for the LG G3: Snapdragon 805, OIS+, 3200maH battery and new power regulating software. Well see. If true, it's a beast.

If they added a stylus, a Wacom digitizer and Moto X-style listening and voice commands , it would be my dream device.

I'd take a toned down G2 skin tbh, some of the extra features LG have added are actually pretty damn useful, and I'd much rather that than the timely Nexus updates!

That is going to be a great phone. I should have waited for one more month instead of getting S5. :mad::mad::mad:
