new phone help

Hi everyone, I am looking to see what anyone's opinion is on the better LTE performers NOW are...? I would like to find a better performing LTE phone. I have the EVO now, I did do the update just released that you have to download and it improved in SLIGHTLY and yes the 4G signal bars do reflect the actual signal now instead of the old version. I do still have my EVO 3D but thats a backup (you never know if you need a standby).   I did try out the Lg Optimus G around June last year (2013) and I liked it, and If I recall reading around on here the RF performance was one of the better ones.  Recently I did check to see if Sprint offered it and come to find out (at least on Sprint.com its no longer there)  and checked with a couple of the stores around me and discontinued... Seems odd to me.  Its not like its an old model, I still consider it semi new (ish) heck most of the store still carry the Motorola Photon Q!  Is there something I missed?  Did that phone have a lot of issues or was it because the LG G2 took its place and was just overly popular?  

 

Anyways other then LG Optimus G, what other ones are good?  I only stick with Android  :)

Well I love my nexus 5, so far it seems to be the best rf performer. Plus its just all around a great phone. My sole complaint would be that the spark update hasn't arrived yet :P.

Thats what I have been seeing lately on here too. I am not due for an upgrade yet, so looking around...

Anyone know why the Lg Optimus G is not still selling at Sprint.com or at most stores?  No one has answered that yet lol!

 

If you still want a mint condition LG Optimus G, I have one that I used for a week for RF testing last summer.  You can have it for a song.

 

And just FYI everyone, we do not want to host numerous phone for sale posts.  But as staff invests a lot of time and money for S4GRU research purposes, we get a little leeway in that regard.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
