Pressing the top button or bottom button for three seconds launches the memo app or camera, respectively. The raised bump makes it easy to locate the buttons, and there’s another lip before your finger hits the camera front glass.
#LG G2 X MOTO X HOW TO#
I’ll admit I was initially confused about how to turn the G2 on, but after a few minutes of playing with the device, turning it on and off via the rear center power button or changing the volume seemed natural. LG believes that as devices grow in size, hand positioning has changed and putting the buttons on the side is no longer natural. I would personally still go for one of the other high-end smartphones.MicroUSB 2.0, 3.5mm headphone, NFC, Miracast, IR I loved the LG Optimus G, but times have changed and we are looking for different features now. The few innovations it brought are not jaw-dropping, though they are cool. In general, though, LG will have a hard time competing. Those intuitive UX features are not bad either. Maybe you want to enjoy the better sound quality or the IPS display’s natural colors. You may enjoy the G2’s bigger screen and small bezel, or the “comfortable” placement of the buttons. This does not mean the G2 wouldn’t be the best bet for many of you, though. The general consumer tends to go with the popular choices, from manufacturers like Samsung, HTC and Motorola. It will probably beat none of these in sales. It’s a matter of preference, but it’s hard to compete with the big guys. But if you want that larger display, back buttons and newer processor you will probably go for the G2. The HTC One has its reputation as well, so we are not sure LG can take on it.

Not to mention, those BoomSound speakers are probably the closest competitor to the G2’s studio quality sound. In fact, the HTC One arguably beats all these devices in terms of build quality. HTC has also given its flagship device a very good camera and astounding build quality. The One’s processor is also the same as the Galaxy S4 (except clocked a bit lower), making the LG G2 the phone with the best processor in the list. The HTC One has a smaller 4.7-inch display, but it is a Super LCD 3 screen (very real colors, as well). The HTC One falls very close to the Samsung Galaxy S4 ( read our review of the HTC One), which means the LG G2 also beats it in terms of specs. Of course, you can always check out our Samsung Galaxy S4 review if you want to learn more about the device. Do you like Samsung’s abundant UI features, or will you go for LG’s UX innovations? Do you even care for the back buttons? Aside from that, other specs are nearly identical and it will probably be a matter of preference. I happen to prefer AMOLED’s deep blacks and saturated colors, but LG is known for its great IPS “true-to-life” displays.
#LG G2 X MOTO X FULL#
The LG G2’s processor is more powerful and clocked at higher speeds, and those who love realistic colors will be impressed by LG’s 5.3-inch, full HD, IPS display. We would have to test the LG G2 to be able to really tell, but the G2’s raw specs do beat Samsung by a bit. It’s popularity and success go a long way, but which phone is really better?
#LG G2 X MOTO X ANDROID#
The LG G2 will never beat the Samsung Galaxy S4 just because Sammy happens to be the most powerful Android manufacturer. We are used to having buttons on the side. Plus, the back buttons may be a feature, but many will just find it weird.

Even if the Moto X does happen to offer a smaller, lower-resolution display and older processor for the same price.

I believe the Moto X’s innovation will beat the G2’s back buttons and UX features. These features will make for a great show at your local retail stores. The device’s “always listening” features and 20-hour battery life are also very impressive. It can be beat by none in terms of customization, offering many colors that you can choose from. Motorola and Google have worked hard to make the Moto X succeed.
#LG G2 X MOTO X SOFTWARE#
It has good hardware, but it is the mixture of software and hardware that make the Moto X an awesome smartphone. There is much more to the Moto X than specs, though. On paper, the LG G2 leaves the Moto X in the dust. But just how much can these features do for the LG G2 in today’s fiercely competitive market? Let’s see how other devices stand against it. Other highlights include a great screen, powerful camera, studio-quality sound and the UI. The G2’s power and volume buttons are placed on the back, right below the camera. It has to be different, and LG accomplishes this by offering a form factor never seen before. A good smartphone has to stand out from the crowd. The device has all the powerful specs you can expect from a high-end smartphone, but it’s debatable whether or not it can beat the competition. The LG G2 has just been unveiled and it’s definitely looking like a promising smartphone ( check out our hands-on).
