Pros.... it has a quad S4..
Cons.... It's made by LG, Software by LG, can't take the battery out, no memory card slot, it's made by LG.

Cute novelty but doesn't seem like something that could be used as a selling point for most. I mean, how many times do you watch YouTube while writing an email?

Definitely neat feature..but unless he needs $100 I wouldn't recommend swap..oh yeah and its a lg..

This was a decision for me as well. Sdcard and battery killed it for me. I get great battery life with the s3 yet am still getting more batteries. I gsme or 2 can really empty a battery.
Sd, I look at it like this. 2 years ago I got an 8gb card. Never thought I would fill it up as I had hardly filled the 4gb before it. Now I have a 16 card along with my internal and they're starting to fill. Few games and backups will take a ton of space.

In all honesty, people were saying this about Samsung say, 2 years ago. If LG chooses to support their customers, then they would be better.

I'd say do it, you will never know whats wrong with a phone unless you try it. and at the end of the day you can just post the phone on craigslist and put trade for an s3 or note 2. can always go back. I'm actually looking for the same phone as you are offered.

This is why I am not using it. No dev support unfortunately. They also locked the boot loader. They're not too open about modifications.

Boot loader unlock is in the works.. Not sure on progress, but theres a few XDA devs working on this for the Optimus G. Specs aren't bad. But biggest turn off as mentioned is difficult to remove battery (3 screws on back plate, 2 on battery.. PITA to remove) and no SD expansion slot. I use my SD quite a bit due to flashing roms and things like that, so it's a deal breaker on this end.

Phone seems interesting. Quad core s4 right. I know its an lg. But let's not all forget the epic 4g when it was an Samsung and there was no support

I think with LG making the newest Nexus device this phone will get good support for updates considering its pretty much the same phone. Samsung used to be horrible with updates before the Galaxy Nexus so hopefully this helps LG along their way also. Seems like a great phone I wouldn't think you would be disappointed with a S3 or the Optimus G.

I miss my Amaze. That being said... it is taking some time for me to have the S3 feel like an extension of myself. The way my Amaze did. I honestly don't miss this phone when I leave it at home or in the car. Plus the whole issue with not being able to move apps to the external sd (grrrr)!

Yeah, the question wasn't if it's cooler, it was if it's worth it.
I mean, don't be blind, you add so and so money and you get less than so and so value. That was my intention. To tell the truth.
It is cooler, but it's more breakable, my phone has similar features, bla bla bla.
Don't get all "Appley" on me but with Samsung, it's also wrong to be blinded by one company... Even if it's not Apple...

Absolutely I think its worth it! I was skeptical because I loved my old htc, but I am so glad I moved up to the GS3.
If it were me looking for a new device, I would check out the Note 2 before making a decision. I think itll be out soon.

Moved to the S3 from the s2, and I'm loving it, and my sister got my old phone. Wins for both of us.

YES! Im coming from an S2 that was running Jedi Mind tricks rom, and i loved it, but my S3 was pretty much perfect out the box. havent had a problem yet which is why im not in any rush to root and throw a rom on it yet.
Can't go wrong with this phone!
Apsolutely worth it. The S3 is the best smarty phone I've ever had! I just paid $177. to have my screen repaired after I dropped and cracked it. I love this device. Love it.
Did I mention how much I love it?
Well I came from the Gnex and I really like this phone. Touchwiz wasn't too bad but I needed that AOSP back. After flashing Paranoid Android I'm loving this phone a little more than my Gnex. It was with the switch to me. Don't get me wrong though, having the nexus was awesome!

+1. Got the S3 and slapped ParanoidAndroid on it with faux's Ultimate kernel. Hybrid mode on the size of this screen is wonderful. With the dual core S4, and PA with faux's kernel, I can't think of a better phone to have right now.

Yeah I saw the vid earler and the camera does look great but I cannot stop feeling gutted about the hardware. No removable battery no microSdCard. These are the two main things that I look for in a phone. Are we heading down the road of iSheep where we are told to like what we are given?
Yeah, Yeah, I know the general line of the Nexus has certain design traits but would it really of been that difficult to add the above 2 things and swallow up all the S3 users? I know for one I would have got one if...if only! lol!
I know exactly what you are saying, I think its stupid not having SD card slot and no removable battery. What do you do if you run out of space or need a spare battery because you are travelling for work and don't have any way of charging your phone. Its riduculous . But the camera is looking good and keyboard
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Fingers crossed we can get the camera and keyboard ported over!
I would really like to know who does the market research for these phones. I left HTC becuase they ditched removable batteries and cards. I also know 6 other people that did the same. Take a look at Samsungs market now comapred to HTC and you only need a couple of brain cells to figure it out! I just hope that Samsung do not follow suit!
Hopefully Samsung won't... I really don't see the benefits the companies are getting from that apart from needing to send the phone off to them for repair money

Agreed, not too sure why they do it, I did read something about them saying it was a Budget thing, if you want a cheap phone, restrict the accesibility of the device (e.g. no removable batter and no SD slot)
I prefer to pay more for an external storage

Galaxy SII Plus

I just read about this thing, and I know we have leaks and such, but it worries me that we won't see JB. Why would they update ours and have a new one come out, and the new one is the same thing accept 8GB internal and runs JB out of the box. Anyone else at least confused on Samsung's thought process here?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Same as s3 mini a smaller budget friendly version of a popular device. The plus will probably fall to the low mid range devices similar to the level of the transform or moment or galaxy rival etc.

I didn't think they were, it just confused me as to why they would throw another version of the phone out with less storage, and JB out of the box, but I didn't think if it they way evil put it.

I'm not sure why but it's probably because they got left over parts they never put to use so they probably just slap them together into a mid range phone and make whatever they can out of the parts they wouldn't be able to get rid of anyways. Just my thought... if you can scrap older parts or left overs into a device you can use to sell via a carrier on a contract for 50 to 100$ maybe even free, why not?
Maybe looking to corner the market on pre-paid carriers with the left-over parts as mentioned before. Also, with apple rumors on a lower cost iphone for overseas markets, maybe this will be marketed as the H2H competitor.
We got Jelly already anyway so who cares? I mean if FL16 isn't good enough for a daily I don't know what is.

HTC did this with the Evo. Made the Evo Design, then dropped the HTC Evo Lte

So why is this called Plus? Seems the same as the SII but with less storage? Same screen size, same camera's, both are dual core. Why would you go with this over a a SII?
I guess the positives of it rocking nearly the same hardware is that if the older S2 models don't get 4.2.x updates... the S2 + will be a sign of hope.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Looks like the price will be around $450usd (if its priced similarly to other countries by exchange rate) so itll be a lower mid range device on par with s3 mini slightly higher price than s3 and lower than prevail. So on contract it should come in between $99 and free(if it goes to us carriers that arent prepaid)

Who the hell knows. Probably size constraints cdma devices have alot more crap inside them than gsm does. International phones have one gsm hspa+ 21 or 42 antenna vs cdma has a 1x/3g plus wimax or 1x separate 3g and wimax. Then theres all the other parts in there wifi antenna bluetooth SoC RAM etc nfc chips are actually quite big. The s3 has it built into the battery because of that and the note 2 has it built into the battery cover with connectors that press against leads on the back housing
Edit: it also has a very limited range like maybe 2" MAX so it cant be embedded in the device it needs to be almost at the surface to prevent interference from the other hardware. Its range is so limited it wont eve work thru some phone cases

I want something different now. Also I might not go Note 3. My main reason to drop Note now is I have difficulties handling it with just one hand. Almost dropped this badboy tryna text while carrying groceries with the other hand. I love the phone and tried to adjust but it's not going well. Certain spots of the screen I can't reach unless I'm doing two handed operation.

That is a very good deal but I don't know if I can see myself without my note . . . I've gotten used to its size and other phones don't feel right in my hand.

Coming from the note 2 you won't like the lgog much I had one and battery life is a downright joke. The processor is a bit snapper but not much, the screen is gorgeous though. But if you want to sell the pair to get the s4 I get it. I was tempted by the S4 but I'll hold out for note 3 instead as it will have the same guts but a bit more powerful with inch larger screen than s4. My whole point is don't be rushed. Have them check for water damage and most importantly CHECK ESN.

No really because it will have full 1920 X 1080 resolution and it will have inferred so it can replace your T.V. remote.
I am expecting the Note 3 to have the S4 International guts. The Sprint S4 essentially has the same guts as our Note 2. I would like the S4 for one reason, easier to fit into my pocket and keep away from the kiddo lol. With that said, I will probably find someone to trade my Note 2 with for there S4. May add a 50 $ bump haha.

Face it our device is aging a bit. I'm thinking about waiting for the S5 or Nexus 5. What's your next phone?

I've never been a big fan of this phone. It started in the first 15 minutes and the overall look of Touchwiz. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the fact that my 1st smart phone was a Nexus One and my affinity for Native android as a result. Anyway.
I just bought a Nexus four and love it. I plan to return it w/i the 14 buyer remorse T-Mobile has. IAfter that I'll either order another N4 or wait for the next Nexus phone. I love the simplicity and ease of use of them. It was so easy to root the N1.
So it's either the next Nexus phone or the Motorola X phone. $$ is important to me, so probably the Nexus.

MotorolaX is gonna be awesome! Hopefully the S5 won't be so gimmicky like the S4, and I hope it looks apart from S4. Nexus 5 will win me over if they have LTE capable and expandable memory.:thumbup:

I think I am going to wait for the nexus also. I am expecting a sleeker device, likely the same screen size. I hope they aren't stupid and put lte and expandable storage as well. If they don't its almost as if the nexus phones are turning into the iPhone.

...but half the price...and with an open source OS. Even if I had to choose, I'd still buy the Nexus.

Hope the screen resolution will be 1080 also I'm leaning towards the Nexus myself.

Expandable storage would be nice but will never happen. Don't care much for lte as I'm on Wi-Fi 99% of the time. The only thing I want to see is a better camera...and maybe made of something other than glass as I've heard it can be quite fragile.

Don't get me wrong, I will always go for a nexus over an iPhone!

Although not the "latest and greatest," I'm planning on getting the Xperia Z when it comes out. My reasoning is simply I hate the button layout of both the One and GS4, the waterproof-ness, and I think it looks pretty damn good.

Note 2, from my wonderfully flashafied s2, or maybe I'll wait for the galaxy mega line to drop screen size is crazy

After waiting forever for official jb on this phone, I'm probably gonna stick to nexus in the future as well. I've never needed an sd card, and love my N7, so a nexus phone will work for me.

Note 3 or....Gasp...iPhone 6.... If Apple adds things such as haptic feedback and a larger display, I'd consider it. I personally like the newer flat UI from iOS, plus I like the social integration part of the software. Android has it's benefits, don't get me wrong, but honestly, I think iOS visually looks better...I don't know if I can live without widgets though
PS, I know I'm going to get flamed for that, but I'm not a fanboy of either...Looking at functionality and design..Nothing wrong with that

We must have the same taste in devices. Guess I'll see you around in the nexus forums too.

I had an apple 4 as my first smartphone. Yes they run nice....but I love to customize, so iPhone would never be a consideration for me....even if they make apps to clean my house and do my laundry! LOL.
