[Q] Take LG G PRO E988 or keep my Mega 6.3 i9200? Urgent! - LG Optimus G Pro

Hey guys I will keep this simple.
I have been offered a straight up trade with an LG G PRO E988 for my Samsung Mega 6.3 i9200.
We all know the difference and I know in terms of screen estate is a huge downgrade(especially in videos/movies/games which is my primary use), but I think the 1080p LCD and the Snappy 600/Adreno 320 will make up for it a lot for that "smaller" screen.
I got used to the Mega now and even the Note 3 a friend has, feels a lot "smaller" than my Mega.
But I think the better specs as I said will make up for it. And I'm sure I will get used to the "smaller" screen over time.
I have to decide until tonight. Please I would love to hear your thoughts on this and especially from E988 owners.
P.S: One thing. I read somewhere that the Indian version E988 doesn't have FM Radio? Any confirmations?
Mods I'm not sure if this belongs to the Q&A/Help sub-forum or in the General thread, so please move accordingly if necessary.

Don't! Just don't downgrade from a 6.3" to a 5.7" of Note 3 or even a 5.5" of G Pro!
You will regret it due to the smaller screen!
Get the 6"'s HTC One Max!:good:

HTC Max not an option. Too expensive. We are talking about or over 300euros difference. I'm in the EU.
And I really love my Mega. I had it for over a month now and I absolutely love it. Plants vs Zombies 2, Dead Trigger 2, The Hobbit 1080p on it, all are an amazing experience.
But I had my eye on the G Pro for a while now tbh. I'm just looking to see if I can find some constructive input on it vs the Mega.

In that case, keep your 6.3"!

I have not used the mega so can't comment on it... But OG Pro is a brilliant brilliant phone, no doubt about it... Screen is big at 5.5 " and processor, internal storage are all top no ch...my reason for buying the OG Pro was a) battery life, b) a swiss army knife of hardware features ( removable battery , SD card slot, NFC, wireless charging, 13 mp camera etc , list goes on) ...until now ( more than 3 months with the OG pro) and the phone has exceeded my expectations

LG Optimus G Pro is better, it has quad-core processor and perfect screen size 5.5.

Having gone from a long line of Samsung devices prior to the LG Optimus G Pro, I can say that the screen is remarkably good. I much prefer it to the super saturated and artificial colors of AMOLED. It's much more pleasant overall for reading and image viewing. There's no doubt that I'll stick with IPS from now on over AMOLED.

The Mega has an LCD. Also I saw a review/comparison(it was phonearena iirc) between the Mega and the GPro and I really liked the GPro.
Anw thanks guys for the replies.
I'm gonna go for it. And if I regret I can always get another Mega, after I sell the GPro..

Price in europe

Hello,
I want to buy a lg optimus g,
Does anyone know how much the device costs in euros?
And what is your experiences with this phone.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
In the UK it's around £350 off contract, converted to euros it's about 435 euros, more or less. (about $550)
Personally I love this device, awesome screen, great camera capability, lag free (2gb ram obviously helps, along with the quad core 1.5ghz processor), browsing/games/apps are a treat. If you don't mind the huge screen, then this is a very good phone for you. Personally I prefer this over the galaxy note 2... Good luck and enjoy (if you decide to buy it).

Hey Guys
Sorry for OT but im From Europen too, my 'Problem' is i want to buy a new Smartphone in One Month.
I'm not sure what i want to buy
I see Note 2 --> i test this for 3 Weeks / Very good Phone.
Then is there the Optimus G. Very nice one too.
But there is a Test-Video on YouTube (Optimus G vs. Galaxy S3) from Android Authority.
In this Test the Optimus G had an much worse Camera then S3 (Pictures & Videos).
Because of this, im not sure. Without this 'Bug' its better then the Note (Hardware).
Can you confirm this?
Is Camera fast Like Note 2?
Last but not Least: HTC DNA (in Europe ... when it comes ... HTC Deluxe DLX)
Highlight is the Screen: 440 ppi
And the Hardware is approximately same like Optimus G.
Or shuld i wait after CES in Las Vegas. I dont know
What do you think?
OT Ends

my advice,if you care about the camera,you should not think about LG...though I myself is a LG user,I have to say that LG's camerais just soso...maybe worse...
though it's a 13.0 M pixels,pictures taken by it is worse than the N7100
wait...if you want to buyan international version,the 8.0 Mpixels camera on att&Canada version is much butter than the 13.0 M on Korea version,youmay find some pictures taken by others on xda
despite the camera,it's the best phone that I've ever used
hope this will help you to buy your favorite phone
Sent from my LG-F160L using xda premium
Well, cant see any real difference between Note 2 in case of camera, but personally i think Note2 is more wise choice, just cause of usability and strong battery.
Btw korean version of optimus G has a really annoying issue - cause of the way it designed, the camera lense easy to get dirty and hard to clean, so usually there a lot of blur and distortion on images.
Ah, and the main issue of the camera - the autofocus logic really differs from other phones - you must tap tge screen to get the camera focused.
Man who designed it, should be executed immediately.
Now im Waiting after the 6. December. Maybe we will see something new from the HTC Deluxe for Europe.
Hope it will had an stronger Battery then US & Korean Version (2100 mah).
After this, i watch witch Phone i want to buy. All 3 Phone are very Good.
So i stop the OT here and BTT sry
Hope Lg Optimus G is soon available in Europe.

optimus G pro forum?

hello LG users.
I am confused as to various LG models, is Optimus G Pro a minor variation of the Optimus G or a successor? If it is a successor phone, I can't seem to find the Optimus G pro forum on XDA.
Can anyone clear this up for me?

Yes its a successor, the next model. OG is F180, and OGPro is F240
I've already asked to make a separate forum, but seems like it will be made when OG Pro will hit the shelves in USA
When will it hit the US? Deciding if it's this or the S4

You right, my friend bought one. That just a big version of Optimus G with some minor improvments like full-hd screen, sd card etc.

I own one. I wouldn't say they're minor improvements. The SD card slot, HUGE removable battery, and beautiful full-HD screen are what sold me on it. The CPU is also clocked higher than the G. Better front camera too with double video feature. It also has an IR blaster. Last, but not least it has a Q button and Qapps that allow multitasking - windows on top of others with adjustable transparency.
No forum yet for the Optimus G Pro, however we do have this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40085152

The Optimus G is on par/size with other regular Smartphones, the Optimus G Pro is on par with Phablets like the Galaxy Note/Note 2. Of course the OG Pro is an upgrade over those by having a Full HD 1080p screen, 32GB of internal storage (23GB of usable space) Snap Dragon 600 processor and bigger battery.
GN3 will no doubt look to reclaim the king of phablet title in the fall, but for now the OG Pro does rein supreme and unless Samsung really ups their game with the Octo Exynos Processor, more RAM and more Internal Storage then the OG Pro is still the top dog.

if the rumors are true of the gn3 being 5.9 or greater inches ill pass. plus the at&t model will have a locked bootloader.
The OG Pro is a sweet device, but once I get something I am always looking to the next thing. The GN3 will be of great interest to me, but I won't be a pre-order or inline day 1 person. I won't be jumping on anything until I hear there is dev support, rooting, bootloader unlocking and work arounds. I jumped to AT&T for flexibility (GSM) and away from Verizon. If I have to go International so be it.

[Q] Buy or not to buy, optimus g

Hi there
I have this options
400 eur - Optimus G ( E975 )
450 eur - SGS3 LTE
550 eur - SGS4
I have now SGS i9000 and am very tempted by Optimus G, even though it has non-removable battery and no sd card slot.
Can i be optimistic that in future l'll be able to install roms with good support and stability like now for i9000, because for sure the S3 and S4 will and have massive comunity support. I know that CM is already nightly :good:
The good sign is that hardware wise its similar to Nexus 4, very similar :good:
Some people also have problems with battery life and drain with Optimus.
Please, can someone shine some light.
If money is not an issue,i would go for the s4,which is superior.but the s4 is from a different league and you can't compare it with g and s3.between s3 lte and g,g all the way.
Your choice.
Optimus g has about same support as the i9305.compare the threads and see for yourself.
Anyway,the decission is yours,we csn't make choose something with your money.
My personal top:
1.s4
2.g
3.s3 lte

I think, It's very good choice. In June I am also buting this phone. S4 is nice, but I don't like Samsung's products and the cheap plastic feeling. Also OG has IPS screen which is IMO better than Amoled. And It doesn't have FullHD resolution so it's more battery friendly. LG looks beautiful and has awesome community. :victory:

I advice you to wait till June-July. About that time E985 will come to Deutchland and Poland I assume. It's Optimus G Pro discussed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273275 It got waaaay better shiny IPS than OG E975, Audience earSmart eS325, all the 13th year bells and wistles, android 4.2, E975 is outdated compared to E985
well, you forget one tiiiiiiny litle thing,,,,the 5.5" display?that's phablet class.besides, the g pro will not receive 4.2 untill july. it will be launched with 4.1.2.I tested a 4.2 version and my sources told me it's only testing phase.not to mention tomorrow we'll have 4.3.x launched. you do realise it's more likely to pass 4.2 and jump straight to 4.3.

Yeah, I know. I know, that theoretically Pro is better choice, but I love the look of OG. Also, I don't need FHD display, and HD with Snapdragon S4 Pro is satysfying combination. Pro is way too big for me, If I want phablet I would choose Note 2, or SGS4. OG seems like a perfect phone for me, I don't need many ****ty extras, I just want fast and nice looking phone. If only there was MicroSD slot...that's one point for OG Pro.
I suppose, that OG will be updated in the same time that Pro, If not earlier, because it's similiar to Nexus 4 so development should be faster for it.
BTW. Anyone tested if USB OTG works on OG? It's very important for me. Thanks.

[Q] How happy are you with your LG Optimus G Pro?

Dear fellow forum users,
I'm currently evaluating a new Android phone. I'm pondering between the Optimus G Pro and waiting for the G2.
What are your experiences and your level of satisfaction with this phone running LG stock Android? And how active do you think is the community regarding custom ROMs? (I prefer as close to Nexus-like Android as possible).
Thanks for your feedback.

HI Buddy,
G2 has a better camera & slightly better viewing angle. The jelly bean 4.2.2 which is ported on G2 will soon be out in market as soon as G2 start retailing. then you can port that rom to GPRO. Our wonderful Devs are already waitng for that.
Now everything is almost same (Snapdragon 800 & 600 doesnt differ in real life scenario, user experience is almost same).
GPRO is cheaper & has a big screen, Now if you dont want to pay extra only for a OIS camera then go checkout with GPRO.
Have a nice day !!!!

Is OIS really that effective in normal camera shoots?
Does it make significant difference?
I'm thinkimg, should I or shouldI not go for G2 from my G Pro just for the OIS in G2?

Hi Kelvin,
OIS plays a significant role when you are taking a picture of moving object & reduces the blurr. It also depends of the capabilities of the Photographer.
Now it depends how often you use this feature(or how much it matters to you). for example: if you shoot pictures while you drive or during a footbal match. it will be a handy feature. Now it depends what you are going to do with your pics at the end of the day just sharing on social media,
From my personal point of view this feature doesnt matter a lot on a phone. because whenever i am on a vacation or travel i usualy prefer to take my Digital Camera with me.
Just note down your requirement & compare. This will be helpful to decide.

Confused!!
For the life of me, I could not decide between the G2 and the G Pro. I initially wanted the G Pro for the big screen, but then because the specs of the G2 are more 'future proof', I went with that.
In the back of my mind, I still want the G Pro, and still have time to swap my G2 for it. Do you think the G Pro (Snapdragon 600) power will last 3 years and not cause lag/stutter? Do you think app developers can even keep up with this constant hardware update? Snapdragon 600 should still be powerful enough for years to come, no? Reason being, I'm not the type to buy a phone every year, and I like to keep mine for at least 3 years.
Thanks!

The direction Android is headed is toward better optimization. KitKat makes even old phones seem fast. I have KitKat running on my old Galaxy S3 with only 1GB of RAM and a slower Exynos processor, and it flies. Zero lag.
Three years from now, the LG OG Pro will still be a great phone, and it will probably still be running 4.1.2 officially, sad to say, but you aren't limited to stock ROMs, thankfully.

So, so you think Kit Kat will come to the Optimus G Pro? It is still fairly new. If not, would there be an unofficial Kit Kat release for it? If so, would it be stable enough?

I don't understand your confusion, to me the choice is extremely simple:
1. Does the phone have enough storage?
To me even 32GB (maximum available for G2) is very limiting cause I take videos a lot and keep a lot of music on my device. Optimus G Pro has a SD card slot. Also, meenova or similar is not an option to me because I keep my phones in my pockets and something protruding from the USB socket will surely destroy that socket very soon.
2. Does the phone have a replaceable battery?
I am a very heavy user and current phones really don't stand a chance in terms of battery lifespan, current batteries have a service life which is not sufficient to me (I already killed and replaced one battery on my Galaxy Note within a year due to normal wear). Replacing a battery at a service center for an undisclosed amount of money (usually more than 50 EUR) is absolutely unacceptable to me when I could buy a battery off-the-shelf for 15 EUR and replace it myself in phones with user-replaceable batteries.
3. Is the phone too big to handle and carry?
Since I moved from a SE Xperia Arc S to a Galaxy Note I found out that to me the bigger screen size is a lot more important than the ability to handle the phone with one hand.
The performance margin between the two would be marginal in most scenarios (even to me as a heavy user) and the possible future updates are almost a non-issue because manufacturers tend to stop software support for their phones before the next meaningful Android upgrade has emerged (most Android version upgrades are too incremental to me to make or break the deal, at least since 4.1).
they both great you wont be disappointed
camper the specs and decide
i choose GPro cos:
cost even for 32GB
5.5"
sdcard / battery is replaceable and good
very good performance for my usage I'm not a gamer
great experience from stock [ no lags and GUI is cool ]
easier to hold then note 2 or 3
disadvantages:
camera in low light
lg support no KK?
IMO build is OK but protection needed and recommended
Am I happy with my G Pro? yeah, so happy with it......
so far so great.....

I say go for the g pro. Ive been through 6 phones in less than 2 months and g pro is my fav. I had Xperia Ion, Samsung gs2, Atrix 4g, HTC One, Oppo Find 5 and Nexus 4. Obviously N4 and HTC One had the most devs but g pro is still fairly new and it has so much screen real estate. Im pretty sure once someone gets their hands on that g2 os we will have a port. Things are moving on this thread, slowly, but we are getting there. Out of all my phones i still think g pro is the best.

Should I purchase the G3?

I'm currently on the Note 3 and am eligible for an upgrade. I'm debating on either waiting for the G4 or getting the Note 4 or G3. I've read a bunch on the Note 4 and I personally hate knox. Therefore I'm looking at the G3/G4. How easy is it to root and install a rom on this phone? Also what other kind of details does this phone or the G4 have that separate it from the pack.

Id wait for the G4 personally.

Totally wait for G4 unless G Flex 2 is something for you.

I looked at the G flex 2 and it just looks like last year's technology. Older camera, processor, and ppi, but I do like the size. I'm hoping the G4 has something close to a 5.5-5.8 inch size screen.

Get the Note 4 feels way more premium in hand and is easier to hold in my opinion
G4 will only have a 5.2 inch screen

The camera is very old I agree, but it should be slightly better than G3, so it's not easy behind, but obviously G4 will beat it. The Snapdragon 810 is what most phones will use in 2015, and speeds are good. It has 1080p, some prefer that, especially if they like gaming. The screen and SD810 is most likely going to make G Flex 2 the best phone in battery life 2015. But I assume the camera and high PPI is most important for you? If so G4 or one of the others, but there is a high chance G4 will be along the size of G2 rather than G3.

It's not most important just points that were convincing. Battery isn't as important as I'm getting a zero lemon. The things that I can't change that are big to me is screen size, unlockable, and probably screen resolution. Everything else is pretty miniscule in importance to me. I was high on the Note 4, but as I said, I hate knox with a passion. I also looked into the Nexus 6 and the screen size and no zero lemon were deal breakers (a la the G4). The only thing that really worries me about it is the screen size. I wanna have a phone at least 5.4 inches.
