LG G2 -- the first Sprint tri band LTE handset (was "LG Optimus G2")

Oh man. Very disappointed that it's delayed that much. Hopefully we'll see what the nexus is about prior to using our upgrade up, though. If 4.3 is released onto the S3 sometime soon it may hold me off until then.

 

Another positive is that more LTE 2600 will be live by that time. ;-)

 

True that is the silver lining.

For anyone interested in the off contact price, it's showing $549.99. Just went to the preorder page just to see, and since I was logged in and my upgrade isn't until December, it showed me the off contact price.

did you also notice that it claims that Wifi isn't supported.  So much fail Sprint....so much fail.

I saw that, too. It's a good thing it has band 41 out of the box...or does it?

I saw that on the pre-order page, but per info posted here, it does list it:

spoke to someone in chat and did say it is TRI-BAND.I ask would all bands be active from jump he said to call Technical support rep. for more info. which i haven`t.

 

I am sorry, but this tells us nothing that we have not already known for two months.  Do not bother asking technical or network questions of customer service.  The reps know jack squat, often providing inaccurate info.

Oh no I wasn't worried about the lack of Wifi.  I was just pointing out the small details that Sprint didn't get right as if they rushed this pre order page was rushed out.

Have you looked at the leaked specs of the N5?

Yes.  Quad core 2.26 mhz, 5" screen, triband LTE, unclear on battery.  2300mAh probable, maybe 3000mAh with the 32 GB version.

Good.  So what do you need to compare?

And I am just pointing out the small details that you did not get right as if you rushed this post was rushed out.

It sounds like the same phone, doesnt it?  

 

Nope!!  The G2 is LG's take on what a high end smartphone with its customized UI skin and Nexus 5 is Google's take on a smartphone with stock Android.  The N5 is not based on the G2 despite public opinion.  The specs are not the same as you pointed out.  Sure in some cases they are small differences (ex: 5.2 in on G2 vs. 4.96 in on N5) but the shape and the build material are not the same.  

  • Camera sensor is different (13 MP w/OIS G2 vs. 8 MP possibly with OIS N5),
  • battery (3000 maH G2 vs. 2300 maH N5 ..highly doubt the 32 GB N5 will have 3000 maH battery),
  • IR blaster (G2 confirmed and N5 probably not..no rumors have it included as hardware),
  • screen (both are IPS display but not sure if G2 and N5 are of the same IPS display quality.  I would expect G2's IPS display to be higher quality since its for their flagship phone).  
  • Software (G2 runs Android 4.2.2 with LG skin and N5 runs stock Android with latest and greatest updates)

The huge G2 screenshot is fine in its original post.  But do not include it in your quotes, folks.

For a second I was about to say this thread was for the LG G2, but then I realized this is the G2. Looks very much like Touchwiz to me.

Is the screen shot certain confirmation that the Sprint version of the LG G2 does indeed have Wifi built into it and the Sprint website is just wrong?

If this phone doesn't have wifi then that just ridiculous!

 

Even basic feature phones have wifi. It's a typo.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
