Electronics Time again for a new phone - Page 20

So I'm eligible to upgrade my cell phone again August 1st. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S2 through Sprint and was ready to get the S4. Now I see that LG is set to release their Optimus G2 sometime in August.

http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/09/lg-optimus-g2-leak/

I've never considered LG, but I'm intrigued by what I've read.

Has anyone else looked at this and is it worth waiting another month or so for the LG?

Also, does anyone in the KC area have any experience with Sprint's LTE 4G? Is coverage still spotty?

Dude I can't even download apps onto that thing. It's a huge pain in the ass. The phone really isn't set up to easily use them like the iPhone.

I got an Optimus L9 last year for $100. It's great for $100.

I wouldn't buy anything until the fall announcements happen.

I've been using iOS 8 and they're definitely smoothing out some of the rough edges from next year. Considering Samsung's track record for not pushing updates, I'd wait on an android purchase until Android Lollipop is released.

I have the HTC One M8. It's amazing. Best phone I've ever had. Smoking fast.

Even the Note 2 has Kitkat.

You can pretty much bank on every single flagship that is currently available getting the next version of android. Waiting to buy a phone because of the next version of android is just dumb.

Wait to buy a phone because its just about round 2 of flagships for the year.

You sheep you. Apparently an Android skin is better at iOS than Apple.

Note III is an amazing phone. I have it and I have zero complaint. That said, you might as well wait for the IV unless you want to save money on a III when the IV comes out.

What about the LG G3? Anyone own that one?

Moto G LTE. Crazy good battery life. I crushed my OG Moto G in a door last month. I got bought three of the LTE version, for me, my Mom, and my MIL. Simply amazing phone for the price ($220 unlocked.)

Waiting on the X+1.

Benchmarks are leading people to believe its going to come with an 801 chip. They don't have to do anything special with it because everything they did with the X comes native on that chip, so if it still has the same experience and bare naked android then it should be a pretty ****ing fast phone.

Just hope with the 805 coming out on the Note 4 and shit that Motorola will still be able to hit that $400-$500 price range.
