4.3

I was not an LG fan and was coming from Nexus S (rooted running KitKat). I was so used to the vanilla form of Android that I was really apprehensive of buying a handset with a vendor customised version of android. I don't like touchwiz too much so even though Note 3 was a lure, I was not very 100% sure. Moreover Note 3 features are not really useful for me so paying another 6-8K for did not make sense. HTC was also ruled out due to pricing and in the Comparison I felt G2 had more to offer and had the latest hardware configuration. So it was..

What I liked:
Good build, plastic but feels sturdy in hand. sleek looking and sit well in my palm. However, since the back is plastic, worried of slipping out and so have a silicone skin on.
Amazing screen - virtually no bezel, nice viewing angles and color rendition. I was sad that the on screen menu buttons wastes space but it actually vanishes where screen presence is needed - so can live with it.
Good battery life - one of the key reasons for choosing G2. Just started but it gave me one full day even after extensively using it for exploring and setting up and downloading apps on wi-fi. So hopefully this is good news for me.
Interface - LG's version of android is good, not too much tweaking. I like few customisation like the double tap, app options when headphones are inserted, lock screen animation, lock screen shortcuts and other small customisations. It suits my taste.
Voice assist - wanted to specifically bring this out. I have used google voice help, apple siri and samsung S voice but honestly and surprisingly, G2 voice assist has been the most accurate for me (80% time correct). Pleasant surprise.
Camera - though have not used it very much yet but whatever I see till now feels good. Loads of options.Hopefully I will be using the camera on this to produce some good images.

What I felt could have been better:
Sound output - both speaker and headphones were not up to my liking. I am still exploring the sound and might was to use really high quality sound and check.
Screen shots with back button is an effort. Couldn't get right yet.
no expandable memory.. mine is 32 GB. Hope I don't end up cursing myself for deliberately compromising on this.

Overall I felt the phone is value for money. Latest hardware configuration with a good interface and customization options and good camera, I guess that is what we would look for in a phone. I found mine - go get yours :)
