I have spent a few days with the LG G2. The specifications are readily available on the web, so I am just going to cover off my lasting impressions of this phone.
First the negative. The model I had was a 16gb version which in my books does not provide enough memory if you are going to want to store your music, apps and games on it. My theory is networks in the UK did not want to stock the 32gb version so they could force you on to using a larger data tariff.
Now the positive. It feels great to hold in the hand. The rear buttons are weird but you do get used to them. The screen is simply the best I have ever seen. It embarrasses my iPhone 5S screen. 5.2 inches of gorgeous screen and hardly any bezels. In fact the screen is the one aspect of this device I will really miss.
The camera was fairly good, but the freak UK weather meant photographing in 100mph winds was not possible.
Double tap to turn on or off is excellent. It also works when in other apps, if you tap on the status bar instead.
Battery seemed capable of getting me through the day despite me using it constantly.
Overall, it was the screen with its gorgeous display and tiny bezels that stand out. Now if the new Nexus 5 is based on this, but with a 8mp OIS camera, we really are in for a treat.

16 gb is too small.
I have 32 gb and 16 gb is allready gone…
And i have no games!
but some maps outside Finland i want offline and these take gigabites.
Only one thing i’am missing from Symbian Nokia E7 phone:
Sleeping mode where i could see
Clock, day and if i have new calls and messages.
Do you know
if there is that kind of app for Android?
For me this LG g2 is perfect.
4″ screen on iphone is no no for me.

Thank you Gavin!
Dynamic Notifications is – almost – perfect app.
Only, there should be screensaver option.
Now the notifications and the clock
will be in the same place all the time.
It can’t be good for the screen?
There are really fantastic apps in Play store:
Photo Editor is the most important to me
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iudesk.android.photo.editor
With little training It make possible to make photos a lot better
and save 100% quality jpg.
What i don’t like
is that if i want to give stars to my favorite apps
it’s possible only if i join Google+.
And i don’t want to.
More important:
i have to give credit card
to buy full versions of apps.
In Nokia Store i can buy apps to my old Nokia E7
in my Operator bill.
Best regards

The app doesn’t stay fixed on for that long, hence why it should be ok I believe. You can set it to pulse (gently flash) as well.
Thanks for the other info too 🙂

You mean “pulse” = “Breathing” notifications ?
It’s possible only in paid version.
and i don’t pay as i don’t want to give my credit card.
But it’s sure worth of 1,99!
