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.

    • Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s. 
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
    • Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
