I'm up for my annual upgrade and was ready to go get a new LG G3, but I was wondering if any of you had experience with both the G3 and the Samsung Note Edge?  From the reviews I've seen it appears the Edge eeks out a bit of an "edge" over the G3 but thought I would ask for some feedback from you folks here that have some real life experience with the phones.  I live in NE Ohio and have pretty decent LTE coverage, though not sure at what level of Spark it is atm.

 

Would appreciate any feedback you folks could give.

 

 

Thanks much,

 

Terry

The G2 is still a solid and relevant phone... I'd hold out G4 since it pry wont be too much longer. But, if you're into the innovative type devices (which it appears you are if you're considering the Edge), check out the G Flex 2--Amazing specs!  But... That's just one thought. :)

Any idea as to when the G Flex 2 will be available to Sprint users?

Sadly, for company reasons, I need to make a choice within the next week.  So I guess it's still between the G3 and Note Edge...

 

My current phone is an LG G2, my phone prior to that was an HTC EVO 4G LTE.  Prior to that I was running a HTC EVO 4G and a Samsung Instinct prior to that.  Not had any experience with Samsung devices, other than my 4k TV, since the Instinct.  I hear a lot about Samsung mobiles but have no recent experience with them - nor do any any of my friends (many of which love their Apples)...

Personally, I would stick with LG. Never really been a fan of Touchwiz and all that. However, the Note Edge should be Carrier Aggregation capable when Sprint begins to bring that online within a few months. The G3 is not CA capable. Otherwise the G3 is a great device.

Thank you for all of the feedback.  I did go shopping over the weekend and ended up with a Note 4.  I really wanted the Edge or the LG G3 but in the end I ended up with a Note 4.  You can see my reasoning here.  

 

 

Thx much,

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
