PJA_in_Boston's review of the LG G2 (Verizon)

Superb phone from Verizon Wireless (Boston Area)
I'm not sure why this phone has so few reviews on Phone Scoop, but it certainly deserves more complimentary ones. I've never written a phone review, but since the LG G2 combines everything I've wanted since I started using smart phones, I feel like spreading the word.
Pros:
- Excellent battery life. Unlike the Galaxy Nexus I'd been using with a 3300 mAh battery, this one *always* gets me through a full day of heavy use.
- A superb, bright, large, high-resolution display.
- An top-notch camera with a wide range of shooting options
- Clear, strong phone reception
- Clear, sufficiently loud audio
- Excellent wi-fi, 4G and GPS performance
- Useful and well-designed interface
The phone's construction and appearance are just fine, and it's slicked up and protected nicely with an inexpensive Trudia case.
The rear button location takes a little getting used to, but after a while, it's not a big deal. I don't use slide-aside, but most of the other LG-specific features are an improvement over stock Android.
I chose the LG G2 after looking carefully and extensively into the S4, and the Droid Maxx. I spent quite a bit of time learning about the G2's features and customizing it to my tastes. If you're willing to do this, you'll have a real winner.
