5 Phones to Consider Before Buying the LG G2 [August, 2014]

The LG G2 isn’t even a year old and already LG has replaced it with a brand new LG G3. That doesn’t mean that the LG G2 is no longer an option though. In fact, the LG G2 is still a very solid Android device and a smartphone that we highly recommend taking a look at if you’re in need of a new phone in the month of August.

Last September, months after the arrivals of the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4, LG released the G2, a follow up to the Optimus G and a device that quickly took its place among the Android elite. The LG G2 was one of 2013’s best Android smartphones and quite frankly, it was one of the year’s very best smartphones overall.

LG moved much quicker to release in 2014. In July, the company released the LG G3, a follow up to the LG G2 that’s quickly become one of the best smartphones on the market and a worthy successor to last year’s model. Despite the presence of the LG G3, the LG G2 remains a solid option for those looking for a great smartphone.

We are constantly bombarded with questions about which phones to buy. In particular, we’re constantly asked about the phones consumers should weigh against the LG G2. There are a number of different devices that we could recommend, the smartphone market is full of solid choices, but we want to narrow things down a bit and take a look at what we consider to be the top five.

These devices represent the devices that we’d recommend to friends and family. And while our list may differ from yours, these are the devices that Gotta Be Mobile editors have selected for recognition this month. We feel like the devices listed here deliver the best, all-around package for this month and this month alone.

That said, here are the top five smartphones to consider before buying the LG G2.
