Electronics Time again for a new phone - Page 16

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?

The size war gets more retarded by the hour.

I work with a few asians at my workplace (trying to be as non racist as possible here) and they all have the Note 3's. They love these huge fucking phones it seems so there definitely is a market.

It's really not a race thing.

I have one. A lot of drivers have these large phones.

Too big. 5.5 to 5.7 is perfect, IMO.

You can always bash Samsung for making large smart phones, BUT at least they give consumers a choice, and at a variety of sizes to

Being a driver, having a large screen phone for navigation is extremely useful.

I just wish that Samsung, HTC, and LG followed the Sony model of making a flagship mini. I hate that all of their mini's are dumbed down mid range phones. I really like the LG G2 and when I heard about the mini I thought that was gonna be my next phone and the rumors were it was going to be a Sonyesque mini. Then it released and its damn near the same ****ing phone as their L90 just with the G2 buttons on the back. Stupid.

Just look at that. Virtually identical inside. The L90 even has a slightly bigger battery.

Mine arrived yesterday. I won't have time to swap out to a micro-SIM until this weekend though, so I haven't even turned it on. It looks nice though.

Apparently the Moto X+1 is going to be unveiled in 11 days.

I should give thanks for the Republic wireless suggestion, we switched to that, Good phones and cheap prices can't beat that.

Does anybody know anything about the Galaxy Gear? It's the stupid little watch that you can sync to your phone. I have a Note 2, and I can get a good deal on one of these things. Are they compatible with Note 2's or just Note 3 etc? Is there anything to worry about them if you buy used, such as with phones if they are unlocked or clean ESN or whatever?

S5 Prime should be getting released pretty soon.

As of now, yes. Rumors suggest otherwise.

If the rumored specs are true, Samsung would be wise to release it in the US.
