Having been a pretty strict iPhone user the last several years it has been extremely interesting to have the opportunity to play with these Android devices via the Verizon group I’m part of (#vzwbuzz). I’m not all that techie but they have been easy to figure out and navigate which is always nice because I hate reading directions…what can I say, must be the testosterone.
It’s been crazy to watch the big move toward small devices and small screens but then seeing a bit of a push toward increasing the size a bit. Think tablets. And now even phones are starting to go bigger than they were a couple of years ago. The LG G2 is an example of a phone with a huge screen in comparison to the iPhone, the LG G2 having a 5.2 inch 1080 x 1920 display while the iPhone is a 4 inch 640 x 1136.
I have not made up my mind whether I like the bigger screen or the smaller. When it’s in my pocket I prefer the small one but when I’m messing with phone photography I like the bigger one. First world problems I suppose so I won’t whine too much about it.
As I mentioned though, I really do love taking photos with my phone…it’s probably my number one activity when using a smartphone. Other than taking pictures I’d say I use it in this order from most to least: checking email and/ or texting, social media, and lastly as a phone. Imagine that, it’s a cell phone and it’s become used less as a phone in my life and more as everything else.
I’ve taken tons of pics of Sammy as well as of all the wine bottles I drink…you know, for business purposes. I can’t say enough about the quality of the photos. I do, in this sense, love the larger screen. I was also impressed with all the options inside the camera. The three buttons on the back of the phone were also quite unique…as in I’ve never had a smartphone with those. One of those was to take the all important selfie without breaking a finger.
That’s all I got for now. Well done LG and Verizon, I can definitely see why this phone became so popular!
