It's 2020 and the G2 is one of my favorite phones of all time. After 6 months I cracked the screen. That was an awesome phone.

I still think about this phone. One of the best phones ever made (at the time). I really wish new phones had the volume buttons on the back.

it's almost 2016 and I still think this is an awesome phone.

Why does KZfaq want me to watch this in 2019?

Those bezels are looking good! Fits right into 2017!!

still using this phone :)

I loved that phone... Great battery for the time, smooth UI, minimal bezels on the side... And the prices were reasonable back then!

came here after the news about LG shutting down its mobile phone division :( this G2 is LEGENDARY! Love absolutely everything about it, so proud that I owned one.

I laughed so hard when I saw that antenna. :D

Crazy how thin they managed to get the bezels way back then.

I have been with apple for more than 5 years. Thought I would never leave my iPhone. But ordered this phone last Friday and had the weekend to play around with it. And my gosh, I LOVE this phone! So much to do as far as customization! Apple will have to come out with something extravagant to win me back over because right now i'm on cloud 9! Love my new g2! =)

Best smartphone i have ever used, seriously going to buy again some time in near future

This phone started the attempts at shrinking bezels. Then people forgot about it for 2 years (even LG with G4 and G5...) and then it started to be the greatest thing.

Still using the G2 in 2017. Has never failed after almost 4 years.

Still using this in 2018! Sold wireless phones in 2016/17 and could've upgraded easily/cheaply. Haven't found a new phone that had enough to warrant paying for a replacement. Still screams and battery's probably 70% capacity. GREAT phone!!

This phone was so ahead in it's time! 🔥

I am absolutely in love with my G2 hands down. The slide aside app feature is my fave!

Should I still buy it in 2015?

The first phone to support 24-bit, 192kHz audio! Damn I miss it

Almost end of August 2018 and rocking Oreo 8.1 on my LG G2 and it FLIES...so easily...this phone is damn good.

your videos are lengthy..... but, it's generally very detailed and you don't feel the drag that you feel in PhoneArena videos....

I wanted to own the LG G2 soo much back then such a unique and modern phone, LG was truly ahead of its time

The reason i don't like this review you kept talking about the nexus . nobody gives a fuck about the nexus we came for the g2 , you talked more about the nexus then the g2

A whopping 2gb ram :Pees pants: we sure came a long way Bois.

Are you curious on how this phone held up in 2016? Lucky for you I made a vid about it, check it out, or nah

I still dont understand why people feel that the UI of LG G2 is not good..!! I own LG G2 and i feel that LG is the only brand which has modified the stock android UI in the best way possible !! I just love the UI of LG G2 , its really useful and user friendly..

I swung past here in memory of my LG G2 - my first android phone, and the first @mkbhd video I watched - Been a subscriber ever since!!

it's feb 2016 and i'm still impressed with this device

5:06 - Damn....that's a lot of Cheerios

Now im Watching with my G2

This phone was so ahead of its time with its big full HD screen, thin bezels, big battery, and awesome camera. Even 5 years later, it isn't dated.

The new kitkat update really did great things for this phone. Fixed the ugly notification bar, the skin looks cleaner all around, and the settings and overall speed were improved dramatically.

This video is a good example of how young and naive mkbhd is. He gives the g2 no credit at all, just talks about nexus devices the entire video as if the nexus is a superior phone just because it runs stock android. The G2 was and still is an amazing phone and now that it is running lollipop it should be widely recommended to everyone, especially that you can get one brand new unlocked for under 200 bucks.

For all you who wonder why cover on his phone is removable,it's because he has a Korean version of the phone.That's why he showed the antenna.

I've got this and its performance and battery life are fantastic

I thought I'd give my experience after owning the G2 for 5 months now. After 5 months of heavy use, the phone is still very fast. It boots in seconds and is quite stable. The recent KitKat update improved greatly the overall feel of refinement when using the phone daily. Battery life lasts for me all day with moderate calling use and heavy document viewing, emails, and news reading. The very first thing I did when I purchased the phone outright at ATT was install Nova Launcher Prime. After manually adjusting some settings, the UI is every bit as fast as a nexus phone. I highly enjoy it and can see myself using it for another year without any fear of it not handling the newest apps. It is a nice phone and for the money, one of the best deals if you're looking for a carrier-based phone.

I have an iPhone right now but my LG G2 is literally going to be here any minute. Did I make a good choice?

I still think this is an awesome LG phone in 2018

this was ahead of its time , really miss my lg g2

You do some of the best smartphone reviews I've seen! Great work!

Oh my old phone I miss you

I fqin laughed so hard when he pulled so casualy the antenna out xD Like my grandpas old radio xDD

Just came back to this phone in wait for my Galaxy S10 since my Galaxy S8 just broke and i gotta say this phone Lg G2 is a gem, probably one of the best phones ever made.. Im honestly amazed.

Man… time flies. I loooved this phone though. Felt incredible in hand.

Why has KZfaq been recommending me so many old MKBHD Videos recently?

still a boss of a phone

2023 and this phone is one of the Best from all time, a lot of things from this phone change the actual phones as they are today. Still have 2 working and in perfect conditios, Black and White model.

This phone was way ahead of its time in terms of design!

what about the 1080p 60fps? knock on? q-slide? answer call by placing phone to ear?....and lots more features? also surprised you rated note 3 camera better than G2 in another recent article about best mobile cameras...very puzzled how you came to the conclusion it was better due to 4k video....lol

I'm a 222 year old panda should I get this or the Iphone 5c

I have this phone for five years and it.s amazing 😍

Been using this for a year and still love it. Can't wait for the g4 when this contract end

Its 2019 still awesome as ever

Thank you for the review. Own a G2 now

I have owned the LG G2 for a month or so and it really is a joy to use. The specs are amazing and you can really feel it!!! I could be running so many apps/programs and it doesnt slow down a bit. Greatly reccommend!!

I had the S4 and now the G2 for me the G2 is a better phone than the S4, insane battery life nicer design love the edge to edge screen and no UI large unlike on the S4

I bought the phone,absolute beats of a phone..what battery life...definetly ppl should go for this phone...most under rated phone of the year

Watching this on a G2.

Man, you're an awesome reviewer and do such a good job on all your videos. Thank you

I like the idea of buttons on back of the phone. It looks like new generations of phones with no buttons, and the unlock way of phone tapping twice on the screen is just brilliant. Pretty cool dont you think?

which the better LG G2 or LG G Flex give me the best choice bro i need answer thnk

Almost March 2016, still the best phone ever!

My G2 spent 45 minutes at the bottom of a waterproof backpack with a 1 liter water bottle that wasn't properly closed. It was submerged from the bottom to the top. I wasn't home when I discovered that so I've shaken my phone in order to get rid of a bit of water and I placed it in my pocket. (My G2 is European and this version don't have a removable battery.) Five hours after, I was finally at home. I've disassembled the G2, wiped the water (gosh, there was a lot) and put the pieces in rice for 48 hours. I reassembled it... and everything was fine apart the back power button. I've bought replacement buttons and they're fixed. It's been two month now, everything is still working fine: cameras, mics, usb port, etc...

I doubt you'd see this on such an old video.. but I came across a list, of all the videos that I have ever liked.... this was number 1! Funny... I had no idea who you were... or how big you'd become. I ended up buying this phone because of you... and it is still to this day, one of my favorite phones, I've ever had! It really was pretty good, and the camera, back then, really was that fantastic! It sits in a drawer now, but I do still have it. oh yeah! And I actually kinda miss the buttons on the back... I mean... your finger, it sits right there!!

Hey Marq, love your videos. Just wondering, did you buy those devices your self?

I think LG heard this video because the G3 has like no animations.

My first smart phone! This is so nostalgic now.

Good job Marques! I like the fact that you explain ALL details on every phone. Very helpful.

2019?!

Best buy sells this for 200 bucks atm. Just got mine 2 days ago. Exellent phone :P. It's a verizon version, but i'm using it on a tmobile network haha.

Wow, i'm surprised you didn't like the notifcation tab, I like having everything I need on there, it's super quick and easy for me to reach and access.

My favorite LG phone of all time. It was one of the best of that era

Watching this on my LG V40 in 2019...😊

I am here after lg mobile is down just paying my homage to my first smart phone so long partner

I just got this phone--Am very impressed for an LG product. Beautiful display, camera, pretty damn fast too.

this phone was a superb phone for its time. I loved it

Only thing I dislike about is that it doesn't have a SD card slot

The S4 is great but still lags a lot.

1:42 "It's a beast". How time changes

I'm conflicted between buying the Nexus 5 and the LG G2 - advice? :)

2019 anyone? LOL

I'm getting that phone, but will root it. Ugly software

Love your reviews man. Very thorough and unbiased. Lots of useful information to make a smart intelligent buying decision when faced with lots of choices.

yoooo compared to the g5/v10 or even g4 this phone is ancient, my gosh 3 years seems like 10...the advances in technology man geez whiz..watching this 9/9/2016 makes it seem so crazy, like he's talking about kitkat here..but we're all the way dealing with nougat now haha crazyyyy

Anyone in sep 2019😂😂😂😂😂

This is sadly the last good LG phone :(

I just bought my g2 waiting for it to come in the mail I think I'm gonna love it

I feel like LG read my mind before making this phone and I gotta tell you they almost nailed it. It is a phone that was given strict instruction not to interfere with your life. Meaningful features that make you wonder if the other guys even care about what you want. Excellent battery, superb camera, splendid display, great camera, good sound (earphones), knock to turn on and off, TV remote, Snapdragon 800, handwriting screen note, multitasking that actually works, answer pop up incoming calls without leaving your page, I mean I can go on and on. If this phone was made by Apple or Samsung it would have been flying off the shelves. But name recognition could be a reason this phone might still struggle for now. I know a quality phone when I see one.

Why do u guys hate the skins on android? I personally think the stock android skin is boring as hell!!

Who's watching this in 2018? 🤔🤣

Yup....I am getting this phone. I was a bit uneasy as to whether the SGS4 or this beautiful phone.... I've done the research and to be honest I keep coming back to this phone. It's a beast!

I bought this phone almost a year ago... I'm soooo satisfied about this purchase that i can't use any other phone... It's way better than my sisters Samsung S5 and way better that LG g3... LOVE IT !! I will change it only for LG V10 and not for LG g5....

Hello recommended algorithm

Would this still be a good phone to get?

7 years later, this phone still looking good to me

Found my G2 in storage today needed the nostalgia

2 Gb of ram beast. Lol. Like if you're watching in 2018

Why not put Nova Launcher on instead ?

great reviews! I decided to get the g2. It's amazing, one of the best phones I've used. I have an HTC One that I've been using since it came out and an s4 for work purposes. The g2 is streets ahead of the s4. The HTC feels better and has better audio than the g2 (and is also better than the s4). But I'm sticking with the g2 because of the screen, battery & design (ui and the back button). Changing the default system font to Serif makes text look a lot sharper. And pressing the switches in the notification pull down (WiFi, Bluetooth etc) brings up the relevant menu (much like on the s4, but this is sooooooo much better!). I nearly went for the note 3 but after using it for a few days found it just too big, needing to use a phone one handed from time to time. The g2 is an ideal size. Though I'd like to move the back button up half a centimetre (camera would need to shift somewhere else). I now find I expect the volume and on/off button to be on the back- I wouldn't have thought of it but in the back is such a great place to have these keys.

I have this phone and it is so amazing!!The screen, the camera, the buttons everything is clear and easily accessible! Not sure why your has an antenna because mine doesn't
