I don't even know what to get now
Which devices were you deciding between?
Unless you can change the battery
Yes, I agree. I have an OG Pro and I can do that but, instead, I just use a battery pack. It charges my phone and tablet so I'm good. However, if I did not have that, I'd be pissed at having to buy a new battery every year for a phone. That would suck.
Originally M8 vs S5
Then S5 vs Z2
Now S5 vs G2
I still feel like somehow S5 keeps winning in overall and yet I don't feel confident in any choice for some reason
Each has something and each missing something
Z2 is my favorite at this stage.
- decently sized screen with the broadest color gamut on the market, broader than amoled's; pretty good contrast +/- 1200:1
- front facing stereo speakers
- much better design than samsung (according to me and popular opinion)
- sharpest camera on the market with a great F/2.0 lens
- incredible battery life
- quite a bit thinner than LG G3, so not that much less compact relative to screen size
what's not to like, really.
All hail the new king: The LG G3 dethrones the Samsung Galaxy S5 in our battery life chart, obliterates the rest

I would ignore that troll's review.http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/06/lg-g3-review-a-great-phone-with-way-too-many-pixels/2/
Not quite as bad as the Korean result, but well short of the competition.
Their Nexus 5 result seems weird. From what I hear people saying about it I would have expected worse.
They should not equalize brightness in the tests they should leave it on auto with a consistent source of light. Honestly in the past 4 years I don't think I've ever taken my phone off auto brightness
I would ignore that troll's review.
I'd rather they don't do tests at all if it leaves such an important variable (how auto-brightness behaves) unquantified. If they're going to let people just "sense" whether the auto-brightness is any good, why not do the same with the battery life. IMO they shouldn't pretend to be quantifying things when they're actually not.
Equalizing brightness is just simpler to do in a fully quantified way. IMO it's necessary to make the result mean anything.
If LG really sets standard brightness very low, who is to say this isn't the first phone to leave you disgusted by the auto-brightness setting.
I don't use auto-brightness on the LG G2. It's universally too dim for my tastes.
Why?
