Nexus is only for enthusiasts or pure Android lover only. Saving up my wallet to buy Nexus 5 as collection due to Google going to end Nexus line.

I have stopped changing phones. Rugi really teruk teruk. Coz there difference between the newer phones and current gen isn't that drastic anymore hence i don't really feel like changing phones so often unless its very substantial. I don't own all of the phones at one time actually, just swap when i have the budget and so on. Well at the very least i don't own the N5

I was quite happy with my G2 previously, but that time i wanted to get something with ori warranty, so i sold it and changed to a note 3 i think. somehow despite all the phones i have used, the ones i really liked always will have issues. The G2 was previously quite irritating with the JB firmware hence i didn't keep it for long. I did test it with the Vodafone firmware when KK was new and boy i was fond of it, but 4G was not available as the band is different for their country and ours and the firmware crippled it. But now it's the best phone I can ask for. Doesn't matter if it's an AP set, and the lesson learnt is, i will definitely stay away from HTC and Lenovo and Sony. Reason is after sales is horribly slow. Lenovo center's don't pick up their phones, Sony will take just as long as HTC should a warranty claim arise.

If you want quick services, Samsung is the way to go. Fastest warranty claims i have seen. I have no idea about Asus though. LG, their service i remember years ago, it was pretty slow as well, as in always shortage of parts and etc. But now that we are all getting AP sets for the G2, i doubt it will make any difference, so what the heck. The Xperia Z1 was supposed to be my last phone, but trust me, you will wanna consider before buying a Sony again. Which was why i finally decided to stick back to the G2 even though its not popular. Besides, everyone has a Z1 or Note 3 or S5 wherever you go. Hardly you will see people using the G2. My colleagues dislike the buttons at the back, but it has been the best thing for me ever since they shifted it to the back. No more accidental presses to silent the phone and etc.

Actually there's another phone i would consider over the G2, it's the LG Isai, but its really hard to get it locally. That one you can play with it in the water. Specs are exactly like the G2 minus the battery capacity~

if our phone had problem like my case volume button up not functioning where will you send it for repair?

Send back to where u buy from lo

There's a seller selling it in the mobile phones section. Aqua in color though.

Planning to buy this fon over one m8 instead. Is the red colour version has matte surface on the back? From thr pictures on the internet it looks like matte rather than glossy like the black colour version

If i buy the red version now will it come with kitkat already or need to upgrade it myself?

Am a Red G2 owner. Yes, it has a dimpled matte surface. Anti-fingerprints and anti-scratches compared to gloss colours.

Don't worry about the firmware. You can easily upgrade (via Wifi) to the latest version.

Thanks for answering

does the front camera is widescreen?

Looks like you've been jumping on and off the bandwagon within the Android brands. Why not give WP8 a try? Although their apps are still lackluster, you'll have a different perspective of phones when you've experienced the WP8 OS.

I was a Lumia 920 user for a year before I switched to the G2. The G2 has an awesome battery life, and Android has Disco Zoo, which is probably the only reasons why I'll with the G2 for now (it's also the best android phone in the market imo). But once WP8.1 kicks in, and apps have an equivalent ecosystem as Androids, i'll strongly consider switching back.

I think i saw it also, problem is if got issues, how to claim warranty as it seems that he only brought in one unit..

i was thinking of it too bro, the last windows phone i touched was the HTC mozart..i think that was wayyyy back before windows phones were actually usable. The most enjoyable windows phone i had was the HTC HD2.. super duper big screen and you can flash whatever you want on to it. After that i dare not try adi coz HTC mozart was running on some really ancient windows platform. Only one thing hindering me from going on a windows phone is, its very difficult to sell off should i want to swap to other phones as i think the demand is still low compared to the android counterparts.

Well that's true. But I think resale value is something very subjective. Even our G2s have no more resale value after the numerous price drops.

Wanna sell my g2 gold color. Interested pm me

As bad as it is, I don't think anything will beat HTC one's resale. I lost practically rm 800 in just 3 weeks. Nobody wants that phone!

We need to market the G2 more to increase demand. Heh.

HTC One M7 or M8???

M7 Bro. Everyone is scared of the purple hue. Lol

M8 seems like no problem reported by our local LYN user. Amazing photo and battery life. Anticipating G3 event!!!!!
