Torn: G2x Vs Sensation (Another one)

I know another one of these threads but im super torn between the two. I've read through the forums and done my research on both even though the sensation is new and the locked boot loader we don't know its true potential yet
I know the issues with the g2x ie. screen bleed, battery drain, overheating and random freezes. The sensation with the bad angle and high contrast washed out screen, the death grip and some minor touchscreen issues.
I guess what it comes down to is i want a fast phone and the scores show that the g2x is faster but reliability is a key issue with the g2x maybe GB will fix it (hope so) but don't know. With sense vs stock vanilla do you think that’s the reason why the HTC sensation has a low quad score compared to g2x? I know people say it’s the screen size but if they both were running stock do you still think the 1.2ghz snap vs 1ghz tegra would still be in favor of the g2x?
I was leaning towards the g2x just the fact that it has a unlocked boot loader which is definitely a big plus for me because i definitely want to mod the phone. Now that HTC has said they will unlock the boot loader which phone would have the most developers behind it?
Sigh, so torn between the two the lag between apps is a pet peeve of mine and i believe there are currently more developers backing up the tegra nvidia chip so it kind of leans me towards the g2x but the sensation does have a neat screen and really is untapped potential I think.
Let me know what you guys think.. what phone I should go for!!?!
THANKS
P.S. if GB fixed the random reboots and battery issue would u still give it up for the sensation? Seems most people are giving up the g2x for the reliability of the sensation

I'm in the same boat as you. I think the safe thing to do, and what I'm thinking about doing, is waiting for an update for the g2x. If nothing comes out soon, I'll end up getting a nexus or even a mytouch 4g.
Oh, if only people weren't complaining about the g2x, it would be a no-brainer.

I believe that the tegra 2 chipset has new architecture compared to the snapdragon. Also, it seems that game developers are really supporting tegra 2 fully because tegra has their own games store. If gaming on your phone is something that appeals to you, definitely go for the G2x, you will not be disappointed. I recently played Riptide GP, a tegra optimized game and I was blown away to say the least.
I don't really know much about the sensation, but if you do end up buying the G2x, I would suggest buying a used one in excellent condition from ebay, rather than a new one because you never know if it will have problems. I personally bought from gazelle store (30 day return period) and like the description said, it was in excellent condition, not a single scratch and no issues such as battery drain or rebooting.
If you like taking pictures a lot though, I heard that the sensation's "instant capture" is pretty awesome to take quick photos, not that the G2x's camera is slow, just not instant

Just personal taste...
I had the G2X.
As soon as I laid my eyes on the 4.3 qhd display, I was sold.
The amazing thing is that it truly does not feel or look like a 4.3 display. The 16:9 aspect ratio + the thin bevels around the screen make it "seem" smaller.
Truly a fantastic...crisp display. I knew it's what I wanted for the next 2 years of my contract +/-. I don't have the money to buy a new device every 6 months
Also keep in mind the Sensation records audio in STEREO. The G2X and GS2 only record audio in MONO. Something to consider that most people might not think about.
Either way in real world use...it's had to wrong with either one. Just make sure ya get a G2X with no screen bleed and a Sensation with no dust under the sceen...

My G2X had a good battery and didn't reboot a single time in the 2 months I used it. I gave it up for the Sensation because in my OPINION, the Sensation is the all around better phone. If you want a speedy UI, go with the G2X. Some things are faster on the Sensation while others are faster on the G2X. The only game I play (HomeRun Battle 3D) is smoother and looks better on the Sensation.
You have to make up your own mind. My advice would be to use both devices for a couple hours a piece and then make your decision.

QFT about the gaming aspect. I think the Tegra store has some cool games, especially Riptide GP like you mentioned. To the OP. If gaming is important to you then go with the G2X like this guy said.
That being said. The only game I play which is Home Run Battle 3D runs smoother and looks better on the Sensation. I guess it has to do with the game getting along better with the Snapdragon processor over the Tegra processor but I'm not to sure.

Neither phone is truly gonna reach its potential until ice cream sandwich

This. As of now you may as well get a Nexus S as that is the only phone guaranteed to get Ice Cream Sandwich.

I had mentioned in an earlier thread that my son purchased a Sensation on Thursday afternoon. He came to visit today for Fathers Day, so we had the opportunity to have them side by side.
Both phones are pretty. The Sensation is wider and heavier. The Sense overlay is nice to look at and the unlock ring is cute. The Sense worked fairly well after I got used to it. I've always liked my stuff plain, and my son likes to customize to the max.
Performance wise, holding them side by side, the G2x was faster in some things...The Sensation in others. Browsing the web....it was a toss up.
The sound, the Sensation sounded better. Not only did I prefer the HTC ringtones, they just sounded better.
Intangibles....things like practical settings...were almost the same for both devices. G2x had some settings the Sensation did not. Nothing critical though.
Signal strength....side by side, the G2x carried a better 'visual' signal. where is hit 4g, he only had 2g. Switched on WiFi, the Sensation aquired the signal faster, but the G2x appeared to have more bars of strength. Speedtest was relatively the same.
Battery....this is the big one. He walked into the house at 100%. In less than 30 minutes he was looking at 81%. He did NOT have GPS on. But did have LIve Wallpaper. The rest was default actions. During this same period..same amount of browsing, same amount texts, my G2x lost about 5%.
Both phones are nice. Both feel good, both look good. The Sensation is a bit wider and a bit more bulky....but his hands are bigger than mine. In my mind the edge is slightly to the G2x. In his mind its the Sensation. I think the devices are that close. If he wanted to trade with me, neither of us would be disappointed.
I think this battle comes down to how those intangibles work for you. How it balances in your hand, how you view movies or games, or websites. Its that close....so the choice is personal.. Like someone said earlier....get the phone in your hands...they out. Your choice will become evident.

I agree with everything the above poster said. It really comes down to personal preference between the two.
@alodar1...Your son might have a defective battery because even if I am playing HomeRun Battle 3D for 30 minutes straight online against someone in match up mode, my battery doesn't even drain 10%. I thought my battery on my G2X was pretty good but without a doubt, my Sensation lasts a couple hours longer. I would get a easy 12 hours from my G2X on moderate use but I get over 15 hours on my Sensation with moderate use. There's actually quite a few people who own both devices and say they get longer life from the Sensation and here's why. The Sensations CPU can throttle back to one core but the G2X's CPU cannot so it is constantly running 2 cores. That's just wasted power and poor design. Maybe an update can fix it.

Ok... I just sold my G2x for the sensation, and I'm not looking back.
The g2x was nice, then 1 week ago I started getting 3 day reboots , I'm sick of waiting for fixes and gb. Yes the sensation has It's issues but is a better device...
I sold my G2x for 340 just to sell it quick. I then used my upgrade to get the sensation. Spent 268 on sensation, then get a 50$ rebate.. so I made it with like 120$ and a sensation...
Just can't wait for fixes, reboots made me want to leave, everyone going to the sensation made up my mind.... Htc updates ...

Bad decision bubba.. I'll letcha know when everyone jumps off the bridge u can go jump too lol

Yea I think so too.
CM7 just fixed the battery driver, enabled the dual radio (doubled cellular speeds), and has kernel-based LED notifications enabled in #54.
This beast just got beastier!

bro what happened?? didnt u start the never again lg thread? thought u were fighting for the g2x not leaving it, lol idk whatever makes u happy, so do u like?

Don't do sensation... the internal memory is so small it can never reach it's full potential. With everything on an SD card, you have no hard wired storage. Its like your operating drive in a computer being already full, it slows everything down. I think ill ask for a replacement when Gb comes out if my phone doesn't fully fix itself. I'm afraid of HTC, always seems like a hard case with poor tech inside.

I have zero loyalty to any brand...just came from a BlackBerry 3 weeks ago....which I hated for the last 2 years. It worked as a phone and that was good enough.
I had the G2X for 13 days before I exchanged it for a Sensation.
I'm sooooo happy I made the switch.
I could not live with the screen bleed at the top corners of the G2X.
Then I started looking at the specs that matter to me most.....
The biggest one being the (imo) gorgeous qHD display and far better resolution. There really is no comparison.....the Sensations display is beautiful and I knew its the one I wanted to look at everyday for the next 2 years of my contract. Also it doesn't feel any bigger than the G2X....with its 16:9 aspect ratio and super thin bevels around the display...it doesn't feel or look too big....its just perfect.
What seems to be a sticking point for some people is the internal memory. Personally, I could care less about internal storage as I will never have the need to put hundreds and hundreds of apps on it. I would think that It is a very small % of users who would ever have more than a gig of apps on their device. Right now I have about 30 apps and still have exactly 1 gig of internal mem.
The other really big thing for me wanting to switch was when I discovered that the G2X only records in MONO. The Sensation records audio in STEREO. If having an HD camcorder is at all a selling point for you...you really should consider that.
Also, I guess I'm one of the people that like eye candy and Sense 3.0 is gorgeous and ultra quick enough for me.
That's my humble opinion

I know man. lol I was gonna fight for it, but then I though about the vibrant, and how I just dont want to any more, and not to mention I started to get reboots after a month of perfection and didnt do anything different, any rom.
With the sensation there is no need to fight. It just works.
So, yes the sensation is better, My first one was weird, and I had to return in, had this weird piece of something, like dust, dead pixel line or something. lol I think the rep didnt like me and game me the defective one purposefully, so I went today and exchanged it..
speed, just as fast as g2x, just turn off animations and dump the widgets. The shortcuts in the drop down are nice, the extra stuff on sense is really nice also.
screen, face on the sensation is awesome, slight angle, it gets washed out. I give screen to g2x.
battery: I had good battery on my g2x but the sensation does a lil better.
build: about a tie, but the design of how the back cover is, is awesome IMO. Like taking half the phone apart. lol looks sweet. So Im giving hardware to HTC.
GPS: sensation is fast as ****, g2x would need like 1 min to lock, sensation like 4 seconds. My tracks were dead on. Almost like gps got worse on the g2x.
call quality is a tie: they both sound great.
I dont know what else, that dont sound much, but its just a all around nicer device, I dont want to wait it out for LG to come up with something, when the sensation has it already.

Have a good g2x no issues besides not being able to use cyanogen mod because data doesn't work .
Using gb update zip, very smooth and no issues as of yet. Phone is nice but battery is a killer for me, barley lasting 6 hours , of moderate to heavy use. Tempted to sell and wait for the nexus to come out or an iphone if on tmobile. Have offer of $200 plus a mytouch 4g for the g2x.

Which phone to get??

I'm on Orange in the UK and due for my upgrade in Oct/Nov this year.
I've had my X10 about 14 months now and still like it, though I am running Froyo on it which improved things greatly!
I'm a really heavy user - average 900 mins, 1500 txts & 750MB of 3G data per month, plus a similar amount of data over Wi-Fi. I also consider my phone to be my main music player and camera and love playing games.
Which phone should I go for and why? I'm really unsure as to what I should be looking at - I want something that won't date quickly, has a decent battery life (charging it every night is normal to me) and has a decent screen.
Not too bothered about 3D and don't want a physical keyboard. Not bothered about back button etc being physical buttons or not.

You just described the Galaxy S II. Wont age fast, plays games amazingly, decent battery life but its much better with a custom rom (I also charge every night), and the screen is the most amazing display I have ever seen. However you said your upgrade isn't until October so I wouldn't be surprised of something new and more amazing is out by then.

Exactly what I thought while I was reading your needs. Personally I would go for optimus 2x mostly cause is more affortable and still can keep up pretty well but yeah if you need a pure beast then s2 is what you want

Samsung GS2 and you'll be a happy man

Thanks guys, cost isn't an issue cos of my high usage (and the size of my bills) I can get any handset for free when I upgrade, except iPhones but I wouldn't want an iPhone anyway!
I was looking at my mates S II the other day and thought it seemed pretty decent so I guess you've confirmed what I was already thinking.

i would definately recommend you the samsung galaxy s2, as its the best phone on the market right now, and also with dualcore, good battery and supe amoled plus screen! best phone you can get at all!

[Q] Sell my SGS2 for Optimus 3D

I am considering selling my Samsung Galaxy S2 for the LG Optimus 3D, as after playing with one in a phone shop, I am really impressed with the 3D and build quality of the phone.
What I would like to know is, if the battery life is worse than the SGS2? I know it will be in 3D mode, but what about 2D?
I would also like to know if the phone gets warm/hot after extended use? I hate the way my SGS2 gets really hot around the ear piece and camera after only moderate use.
What is the App memory size?
What is the signal quality like on the O3d? My SGS2 varies quite a bit.
Anything else you can tell me to help make a decision?
I do like my SGS2, but i'm really liking the 3d and solid feel to the O3D.
Thanks.

Having had a GS2 and having this phone now I can answer you I think.
Battery life is far worse than the GS2, as a example my phone was fully charged at 8am in Friday was over at my sisters for the day helping her out, around 50 mins music on the bus on the way, played a bit of 3D movies showing her, took some also, few texts but no calls, a bit of internet browsing, came home at 6 ish with less than 23% left.
Heat wise isn't something I have really noticed certainly not the the level of the GS2.
My T-Mobile signal seems no different but Wifi is better and gps for me.
I sold mine for the 3D side of this phone as I truly love it, but the battery has me concerned slightly, I don't drive so no way of charging it if required and i am missing slightly the good battery life I had before, do I regret selling it ? no I don't I just hope the battery gets better on this or I may have to re think things, or get another battery which I don't want to do have to carry another one around.

Thanks for the reply. I barely get 12 hours out of my SGS2 (less than 10 with heavy use), and coming from the iPhone 4 it's disappointing. I hear there is an extended battery for the O3D. I wonder if it makes much difference?
The heat problem really bugs me on my SGS2. Especially being summertime lol.
Can you tell me the space reserved for apps/games as I have lots on my phone so far.
Anyone else who has had experience of both models?
The more info the better
Thanks.

My 03d heats up also

Like you I am also in a dilemma too, do to the problems of gs2 weak wifi and no gps lock, they gave me the choice of phones if I wanted to replace it, I went for O3D, do to it's popularity it's seems out of stock and will get it nxt week.
However I now seem to be getting second thoughts, mostly the phone is good, but some say camera is poor, which am not happy about as picture quality is important to me, to be honest 2011 and 5MP just don't go together. And few other little things.
So I would also like to hear from people with both phones in hand and what they think of em.

Videocamera just got an update firmware V10d. Looks really good
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C02tzF1sjjA
Unfortunately not for pictures. Lets hope in the next firmware it will also be upgraded.

You have to really LOVE 3D in order to justify this over the Galaxy S II.
The 3D effect is decent but in reality, it's just too gimmicky to be really useful at the moment. For example, if you take a picture in 3D, it's not really very good when in 2D, which means on your PC etc the camera performance isn't great.
Other than that, it falls short in every single area, though I suppose the wifi strength is a bit better.
I own both phones, so any questions, fire away.

What about the gps? Which locks faster without any other connection active, and how about sound and headphones? I don't much care about 3d to be honest.
I like the power of gs2 but 3d and hardware of o3d and resolution of sensation. All three phones have something that other does not, which makes it very hard to choose.

To cut it short, here is my comparison as I have both now:
Battery
GS2 - until the battery drain is fixed, you will need to try your luck. If nothing happens you can charge your phone once a day with light use meaning 2 hrs or mp3, light surfing and facebook etc. If the battery drain hit you, that will be less than 10 hours or even worse. If everything went well with correct tweaks, battery can last for around 18 hours.
O3D - with 3D game, you get 5 hours at most for the standard battery. That is when you play for 3~4 hours. Light usage is about 12 hours. If you tweak it right with background data off etc.. you get around 14~15 hours. The battery definitely won't give you one day
Connectivity
When it comes to this area, it's more like a speed vs stable
GS2 - data is fast with its 21mb, wifi is really weak even when compare to GS. If you have a very strong signal, it is fast thou. Connection recovery is not good compare to other brands, if it drops.. you have to wait for a while to get it back automatically.
O3D - data is at 14.4mb, wifi is much better than GS2. Connection recovery part is done much better than GS2 in general.
GPS
GS2 - forget it. It is better than the original GS where it never locks on. but it is nowhere to be really useful. I really hope that GPS works better on this phone.
O3D - very decent, it compares to the garmin-asus m10 which I have on hand. A small tips for everyone looking. get mapdroyd in market to use on O3D, then you'll have a good offline map.
Storage
GS2 - with its storage starting at 16GB It's enough to go even without external SD. 32GB coming out later, it would be a great bonus.
O3D - 8GB internal, can only say it is enough. The korea version comes with 16GB.. a bit envy
other things like memory, cpu, camera.. etc. both phones are springing off to different direction, really no point in comparing them as it is more a personal use and taste at that point.

I got my O3D on Friday and I just love it.
I sold my SGS2 right away.
Here are my observations:
- The O3D feels like a brick comapred to the SGS2...the thickness and weight is very noticable. However, the O3D felt more solid because of this.
- The O3D does heat up with intensive usage (say watching an hour of 3D videos) but it is definitely nowhere as hot as the SGS2.
- I get better signal with the O3D
- I get better wifi signal with the O3D
- The SGS2 is a tad snappier than the O3D (especially with stock LG launcher...put on any other launcher and it's just as fast as the SGS2).
- The O3D charges way faster than the SGS2 (the SGS2 takes around 3 hours from 0-100 with phone off).
- The SGS2 has a slightly louder speaker (handsfree and earpiece)
- The music via headphones sounded better to me on the O3D.
- The O3d has a cover to protect the USB port. Yes, it's a hassle to open it every time but it does prevent dust from getting in.
- SGS2 Amoled has better blacks and more punchy colors (if you like that...some people don't like the cartoonish like colors). I was slightly disappointed with 2 SGS2's that I had...both developed dead\stuck pixels on the screen.
- Games run great on both phones (however asphalt 6 seemed to run on the O3D smoother)
- Battery, I can't really comment yet since I just got the O3D two days ago. I managed to use the O3D non stop from 100% charge and it lasted around 8 hours...I remember when I first got the SGS2 and playing with it nonstop lasted about 6 hours.
- SGS2 has twice more RAM than the O3D. On the SGS2 free memory would hover around 400 and on the O3D around 190.
- SGS2 has tons and tons of ROMS, tweaks and optimisations.
- GPS is definitely better on the O3D
- SGS2 has bigger (16GB vs 8GB) storage...good thing I have a 32GB microSD card
- The browser seemed to be tied just that in the O3D there are no checkered boxes.
In conclusion, I am very happy with the O3D. The 3D is pretty neat. The SGS2 is also an awesome phone and I was very happy with it but I wanted to try the 3D so I bought the 03D. Feel free to ask me any other questions.

One more question guys, when both phones are switched off which of the two looks more blacker? GS2 really looked nice on the table with it's noble black body, does the o3d look the same?

They are both more or less the same black visually physically.
The SGS2 has a more black above and below the screen...the O3D has two strips of greyish brushed metal.
On the back the SGS2 is more black as the O3D is grey on the back.

LOL...which phone looks blacker when it's switched off and on the table?? do people actually pick a phone that looks blacker while sitting doing nothing over another phone that looks 98% as black as the blackest black that ever blacked..thanks coolfi you made me laugh...

If 3D is something you want you will love it ignore the people saying its a gimmick as it isn't, and it really looks fantastic and I just couldn't watch 2D videos anymore on the gs2 they just looked like any other phone plain and flat.
The screen is nice on the gs2 but a few commented how it made pictures for example look un natural with colours and not how they really look, oversaturated was the common thing I got,colours were much brighter when viewing the pictures on screen than they looked in real life which isn't' realistic.
A certain person has said its a gimmick on another forum and 3D isn't important to him so why buy a 3D phone for me , , I personally use this phone more and watch way more videos than I used to on my previous and its only because of the 3D.
The battery is my only concern with it I could easily get 24 hours out of if the Gs2 but as I been told by so many I am on this more than any other phone I have had.
My choice came to this, what can the GS2 do that this can't and the answer was simple nothing, each have pros and cons but I can do everything that phone can do on this.
Then I thought this can do one thing it can't ever do and that is shoot 3D video and pictures and play films etc in 3D and for me this was the clincher.
Lets not forget its still on a stock rom so things can only get better and Froya doesn't really support dual core cpus so it's being held back at the moment. Gingerbread will make a huge difference as a it supports dual core better, but you will always be one step behind the updates on this phone, the GS2 has been upgraded to 2.4 now and we are only set to get 2.3 on this in October.
My mate had a Desire HD and messed on the Gs2, he said its a nice phone but apart from the camera side it offers me nothing over what I have now, and wouldn't buy one, he said the same when I tried a Sensation.
When he played some of the 3D videos a smile came on his face and he loved it I can't get him off it when he comes round now he always using the 3D side.
He has decided he is selling his phone and getting one of these himself, anyone who wants one should test one really as its the only way to see if it's for you.
In all for me and I bet for everyone that has one, I have a phone that won't just sit on the side not used as much as it should as finding 3D stuff to add and view I am still doing nearly 3 weeks after having one of these, in that time other phones had lost its novelty and got picked up when needed, make a call browse something on the net for example, this phone has issues but so do all phones, you won't get a perfect phone.
Using the GS2 as a media device wasn't that important as I said before a video played back looks only as good as any 2D phone apart from the screen, it had no wow factor, I can guarantee if you whipped out your GS2 to show friends a trailer for example, then your mate said oh btw look at it in 3D on this phone your GS2 will end up back in your pocket as your friends enjoy the 3D experience, that sums the phone up for me.

Just now I showed the O3D to the first person at work.
I showed her the Tahiti clip and when the water was splashing towards you...she literally ducked to avoid the water...

Thanks for all the replies guys.
Sounds like the heat problem is not as bad as the GS2. I don't mind a bit of warmth around the back, but if it heats the glass up around the front then it's a no go!
I understand that the still 2d picture quality is not as good as the GS2, but I only use the pics to upload to Facebook or share with other phones.
Battery life of the O3D does put me off because if it is worse than the GS2 in 2D mode it could be a deal breaker.
Has anyone tried the extended battery yet?
The main memory doesn't bother me as I can add a memory card.
The reserved 512mb doesn't seem be bothering people in other threads, so I suppose this isnt a problem?
I'm not really interested in benchmarks as long as the phone runs smoothly.
I do really love the 3d mode and like the idea of watching Avatar, playing 3d games, etc etc. (cant afford a 3dtv unfortunately).
Maybe I should just get a Nintendo 3DS as a companion to my GS2 lol..

i've only played with both phones for a short while but i bought the optimus for two main reasons;
1. the camera is better (it shoots 3d, and really damn good 3d at that).
2. dual channel memory. faster memory is better memory.
i'd heard the horror stories about weak signals with the gs2 and that there are continuing problems with the gps. gps functionality isnt a massive concern for me but signal strength is as i spend a lot of my time in basement gig venues so i need something that will have a reliable signal in a difficult sitch like that. my wifi tests showed the o3d to be capable of around the 20mb mark which is pretty great. i dont know why the rest of you seem to think it can only do around 14mb as i consistently get around 19.5-20mb.
the touchscreen on the o3d responds better from what i've seen but again i am only basing that on 1 day of use.
based on what i've seen yesterday in using the o3d almost continuously all day (new toy syndrome) the battery life is amazing as long as you can keep yourself out of 3d mode. anything that uses the parallax function eats the battery bigtime and this doesnt surprise me. that said, last night i flimed nearly an hour's worth of footage of a band in 3d starting from about 43% charge before the camera told me "the battery is not enough for the camera". it looks like the battery will last quite a while if you can resist playng with it all day.
the one thing that is definitely a dissapointment with the o3d is the led flash. it's weak as hell and doesn't even go off in 3d mode at all.
i'm absolutely happy with my choice and would go the same route again though. excited for CM7.1.

Its a tough choice for sure I have no regrets getting mine, the 3DS's 3D is nothing like on this phone, it doesn't look anyway as good and you certainly won't be getting 720p in 3D.

Thanks..
I practically get an instant lock-on with my GPS indoors and outside with my GS2, and as for wifi, even on 1 bar in my back garden I get the same speeds as indoors near the router (about 15mb down and 3mb up on a 30 mb connection). I think the wifi bars on the GS2 are inaccurate more than anything else.
My phone signal wavers quite a lot on my GS2 which I notice indoors when making or receiving a call and can cause voices to break up.
The most important things for me is battery life compared to the GS2 and Heat problems. Also Signal strength
I love the smoothness of menus and the screen on my GS2 and the fact that I can run multiple apps without any slowdown.
I have to say the 3d is impressive on a 3DS with the slider on full. Camera's are a let down though, but games are better.

[Q] Any Regrets chosing the Optimus 3D?

Hello, I fell in love with the Optimus 3D but i chose the Galaxy S2 because of reviews, and afraid the LG would be hard to resell at a good price when the Galaxy 3D comes out..
Now my fears with the LG 3D was the battery life and the video quality.. 3D 720p is actually 640 lines across (split screen 1280) so its technically just regular SD video. But i just love that 3D screen, however i dont feel like carrying 2/3 batteries in my pocket to use it all day.. But i still have 14 days to return the Galaxy S2 and get the Optimus 3D, please anyone out there can give me personal reviews of owning that phone? Any disapointment with low light, videos, photos, weight or bulk?
Does someone have a Optimus 2D 1080p video on youtube AFTER the v10b update for me to see how the HD looks after the rom? Thanks

noone yet has any opinion on the optimus 3d ownership experience ? has the galaxt s2 made you hesitate too?

I had a GS2 for about 3 months and picked up a O3D, have sold the GS2 as I could see no real drawbacks keeping the O3D over the GS2, it may have a better camera for 2D stills and can do slightly better 1080p video but is missing one key thing it can't take pictures or record video in 3D, so the choice was simple for me, I can do everything I did on the GS2 on this but have the bonus of 3D.
It all depends what you think of the 3D side of a phone, if its important to you then there is no reason to not get one, personally I couldn't go back to watching 2d things on the GS2 and recording videos/photos in 2d.
I am very happy with the phone all that lets it down is the battery life but am sure when Gingerbread comes out that will get addressed a bit as we all know Forya wasn't very good with power management and battery life.

I sold the SII to buy the O3D
no regrets
one downside is that in 3D mode you cannot use the LED "flash". anything indoors after 5PM looks awful as the gain is too high.
Looks fine on the screen, but if I put on my 3DTV or get the photos printed in 3D then it looks bad!

I am awaiting the arrival of the O3D (should be delivered within 2 days). My previous device was the O2X.
I tried both phones out the S2 and the O3D.
Still though I wanted a 3D phone, so when I saw what the O3D can do the choice for me was straight forward. I dont like the way the S2 lies in my hand its just to thin for me and it gives me a cheap impression.
In addition to that the S2 cant do nothing special it just can do all things the O2X can do just a bit better.
For me personally is the O3D my phone I would like to try the Evo 3D too but here in Europe we will be forced to pay huge amounts of money for a phone that is reasonably cheap in the states now.
If you want something really special that can get much better in the future (with 2.3) than you just cant help buying the O3D at the moment. I love how the phone feels and performs.
The S2 is already maximized you wont be surprised from it.
The O3D will last longer in my hands than the O2X for sure.

I sold my SGS2 right away after I got the O3D.
No regrets whatsoever...I love the O3D.

Thank you guys those replies helped a lot and i returned mt Galaxy S2 an hour ago for the Optimus 3D
Now i just need to learn how to put the v10d on it lol
I will do a before-after video upload of both to see the diference and share it!
Thanks!

cinemano the 3d environment was what made ​​me get the decision to change the Galaxy SII with this mobile, I wanted to gain experience in 3d and inform you that I did not regret.... THIS phone is just Amazing.

I had a HD2 'androidzed' and was given an O3D to test.
Appart from the obvious 3D advantage, the phone feels really slick compared with the HD2 (snapdragon with CM nightly).
My use of the phone is work/office oriented primary, so i can not talk much about gaming, and since is a test phone I don't want to customize or root the phone, so appart of some apps the phone is stock. And I'm pleased so far.
The cons are battery (really poor if you want to use it as a mobile office away from power outlets) and keyboard (good response, worst.distribution.ever!). Both are easy to overcome with an external battery charger and a keyboard apk.
Anyway, this phone has the potential to be a real beast with a CM in it.

Make sure that you update to 10d before you root the phone,it will brick your phone if you try and update the sw after you root.

Just got mine today, replaced with gs2. So far so good.
No issues with wifi that I had with gs2 and no issues with gps that I had it with gs2.
My lg gets quite warm, especially around the top part of the phone, is this also with you guys?

Mine gets warm after like 30-40 minutes of watching a 3D video.

Yep the 3D seems to warm things up a bunch but that is understandable as it uses a hefty amount of horsepower to create the effect. Sometimes the phone gets a little warm when charging too but honestly, both are barely worth mentioning as they are only slight warmths. Not even remotely close to a warm laptop for example.

If you are using a case its unlikely you will notice it tbh.

Wonderful device absolutely no regrets.
After a day of use one wonders why not all phones are 3D.
Finding 3D content will be the biggest issue as there is nothing like 3D netflicks in europe.

Search yt3d on. youtube al lot of nice clips
I came from a hd2 this device is great, sgs2 feels cheaps to me

does it mean that if i root my phone even after v10d i wont be able to accept any official future lg updates?

Updating to 10D via OTA having installed CWM is a sure way to 'brick' your phone. Not really bricked cause it could be recovered but it won't boot again easilly.
I suppose it will be patched any time soon, but for now don't install CWM if you plan to accept OTA updates.
OTOH, I don't think rooting the phone is dangerous in any way... but I'm not an expert or developer.

like someone already said, only bad thing is lack of LED lamp while you try to make a 3D photo....
everything else is great

2 serious drawbacks for me, one is livable with, another is frustrating. The 1st is the battery life, but it is ok with me coz I charge and bring few batteries with me all time. And the 2nd problem which is the lack of notifications led, it is frustrating to me. It is one of the most useful feature a smartphone should be compulsorily to have, but not in this high end phone!!

LG Thrill....should I wait?

So I've been using an iPhone 3GS for a long time now and I want an android phone. I read about the HTC Sensation but it's on tmobile and I don't want to leave my grandfathered unlimited data plan. Question is should I wait and get a LG Thrill or get a Sensation?
How's the screen on the thrill? I've read that the resolution is bad. Is the thrill going to get gingerbread?
Thank you all.
AJ

Get the Thrill....

I agree, get the Thrill. I have had mine for two weeks now and it is the best phone I have used. The screen is real nice and gingerbread will be coming in October. Besides the 3D, this phone packs a punch!
Sent from my LG Optimus 3D with Tapatalk

So it's worth it to stay on the ATT network and pay a little more rather than go with tmobile?

I would get the thrill
my sister owns the Sensation and I own the Optimus 3D.
From what I've used so far, unless you can't live without Sense 3.0, get the Thrill.
For the sensation, I can't help but feel that its just a regular high end phone you'll find anywhere. Hardware isn't too different, and sure its using higher resolution, but that's actually not that great of a thing.
A few of the apps I tested out on the Sensation does not show up properly. What I mean is that it shows the app perfect and it works, except there's a lot of black spaces on the left, right, and bottom sides of the screen. But none of that would happen with the Thrill since most apps would work on a 480x800 resolution.
The screen of the Optimus 3D is actually very decent. Viewing angles are good, I dont notice any ghosting or bleeding or that kind of stuff. Its not that bright though. I compared the brightness of both phones and the Sensation seems to win there. But, after testing that out, I lowered brightness down to half for daily use so I'm not sure if that's such a deal breaker.
You shouldn't be worried about the screen, because there's no problems there.
And the Thrill will definitely get Gingerbread. LG has already stated that the Optimus 3D will get that update in the coming months and it should be a bit later for the Thrill.
So, if I were you, I would go for the Thrill. 3D is actually very useful to have. After I used the Optimus 3D, the Sensation doesn't feel too spectacular anymore.

If you dont want the wait buy a unlocked Rogers one same frequencies so it should work fine

How does the thrill stack up to the sgs2? If I don't care about 3d stuff is the thrill still for me?

Depends on what you want it for
Pros and Cons vs the SGS2 (IMO)
Cons
Battery time (LG O3D/Thrill is a power hog due to unoptimized power usage that will hopefully be addressed in later software and power hungry hardware, will get better but most likely SGS2 will give you more lifetime, I solve this by having a $30 5000mAh portable charger that works great)
Screen (if you don't use the 3D at all the screen is a negative, not as good with colors etc, needs more power and so on, it's not a bad screen (it's good as well) just designed for 3D and not low power consumption etc)
RAM (while IMHO 512MB (2X256) of ram with dual channel is preferred to 1GB single some will list this as a weakness of the O3D, won't really matter for normal use, but if you want to run 1500apps at the same time you might prefer the bigger size over speed)
Storage (SGS2 has 16/32GB, O3D has 8, sucks I know but you can always put in 32GB more but as you can also do that in the SGS2, Storage goes to SGS2)
Pros
3D (Well the 3D is good and actually nice for pictures etc and with Fuji-films 3D printing and more 3D hardware coming to market it's more than just a gimmic)
Development (While not set in stone the development opportunities for the O3D is enormous, much to the fact that TI shares their code for the chipset like no other, CyanogenMod development is in full swing with 3D features, Radio etc already working even though it's just started and not even nightlys are out yet)
Media support (The O3D if the phone with most media support hands down and it's really good, with the HDMI out this effectively makes it a portable media station unlike any other phone and that's not even counting the fact that you can plug it in to a 3DTV)
FUN Factor (The SGS2 is a stable and very good phone no question but that also makes it a bit boring, for me at least, the O3D has so much potential with the dual core, dual memory, dual channel and TI's open source code and the 3D on top of that give it that extra)
As for resolution etc, 800x480 on a 4.3" screen is enough unless you tend to hold the phone 5cm (~2") from your eyes, I don't have 20/20 vision, far from it but I've never felt that the screen felt unsharp or anything like that and the screen preforms well even in sunlight.

If you are into 3D then this phone is for you.
The 3D is done pretty well.
If not then maybe you should check out other options.

Good info
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

I just picked up one of these bad boys. While it isn't as snappy as my Atrix, (I'm hoping it's just because it's still stuck on Froyo), it's still a very fun phone to use. I haven't had a 4.3" screen in a while, and although the phone itself is a bit bigger, I forgot how nice having that much screen size was. The 3D effect is awesome. I took a couple of shots of my dog, and he's just that much more adorable on picture now. The only drawback is that the Thrill is my only 3D device, so I'm kind of stuck just seeing it on that screen. Also, if you're a big Picasa/Google Photo user, just a heads up that the *.jps 3d images that the Thrill takes will not upload to their servers until you rename them to*.jpg.
If you're not really into the 3D, I would pass on the Thrill for a SGS2 if you wanted to stick with AT&T.

They're a great deal at only $30 at Costco.

picked mine up today!!! cant put it down hahaha
really recommend it.. its pretty darn quick and i wasnt really interested in the 3d but LG did a really good job with it!!!

anyone having problems with tango not working. i can see the caller but they can't see me. only what's showing through the back camera.

Happens to me too. I believe this is because we're still on 2.2
and its 2.3 which supports FFC

it's actually 2x512mb ram.
technically there is a gigabyte but because it works as two copies of the same data there is only a useable value of 512mb.

Yeah it is pretty amazing. i have been toying with some tweeks from other roms and this thrill is blazing fast afterwards.
It has stomped the sgs2 attain that i got to play with in every benchmark I have put them through. the 3d exceeded my expectations...overall very pleased considering it got such bad reviews. i may actually keep it.

Haha, I'm in the same situation here. The phone fared a lot better than I expected and now parting ways with it isn't going to be as easy as I thought it would be. The 3D was cooler than I expected, but I still think it's a gimmick at the end of the day.
A few weeks from now - once there's a good dev community - I can see this phone doing pretty well. Right now, it's still pretty mediocre in my opinion, but not as mediocre as some of the reviews make it out to be. lol.

I was originally turned off from getting this device because of the bad reviews... however I picked mine up today and am happily impressed with everything it can handle!!!
Only my first day but already like it better than the infuse...
