Would you leave the GS3 for this......?

[smark72]

I was wondering if anyone would consider this over the gs3 since it is coming to Sprint. I have never owned an LG phone, so I am not familiar with their build quality. Do they typically run with a UI overlay like touchwiz?
I would consider it just to try something other than Samsung, even though I love the gs3. I may pass the galaxy s3 to the wife, get this with her upgrade, and trade back if I don't like it.

Nope Samsung supports users with everything they need pretty much. Unlike LG they forgot about their first dual core which was the g2x aka Optimus 2x and never supported it. And when they released GB it was just a half assed version wiped clean. After their poor support for that phone ill never get LG again. They never support their phones. Not even flagships

Most LG phones typically suck one way or another. Their flagship phone end up having a bunch of problems specs-wise and build-quality wise. Most LG phones break within a year with normal use.

Also, I have a 2 year contract with Sprint. Even if the best phone ever comes out, I can't switch for 2 years...

My epic was just fine. I still keep it as a backup.

Would not buy. As a previous poster mentioned, LG can make a phone that looks great but is damaged goods beneath the shining veneer.

Damn, I was hoping with these specs to hear something good about lg and that this this would be something to consider, but a lot of negative feelings towards LG phones. Maybe we will get the note 2 and that will be a better phone to try out.

My gf lg g2x was a nightmare, even rooted. I'll never buy lg again either. They justwwiped their hands of it too.

I just got rid of a POS LG Optimus T.... I will never get another LG phone unless its the old CDMA flip phones.

Buying an lg phone is like meeting a gorgeous chick at a bar, taking her home all excited and all, then taking her clothes off to realize it isn't what you've bargained for. Then, spend the next year in therapy.

My dad had the LG Optimus S and it had an internal storage glitch that forced him to factory reset the phone to use the phone.

That's an entry level phone but I think it's sad that LG didn't show any support for him (nor did Sprint, for that matter...)

Every lg phone sprint carries is crap. New optimus is full of issues, just like the kls one. Viper, joke. Lg kept saying that even though it was released with 2.3, 4.0 is around the corner. Not a single update. Sad, other than display, device was pretty solid. I also was one of the ones with g2x. Loved build quality, but antenna issues and software made me want to throw it against the wall, even rooted it had so many issues.

I'd buy it. My gf has a viper. Dirt cheap not tip top but the thing is rock solid and yes built well not so much as one issue.
I think LG is gonna improve and with the krait s4 I think most of the truly bad choices for chips they could throw in are off the table.

I wouldn't touch it right now based on my history of having issues with LG phones and also all of the other complaints about LG. Plus I'm happier than a pig in **** with my S3. However, if it does come as that article states, I think we can all agree that the ante has been upped bigtime with the quad core, camera, etc so that just means that HTC and Sammy will be upping their game even more so when our contracts are up there will be even bigger and better toys out there to choose from.
