Budget Above 25K Galaxy Note 3 or LG G2?

[m-jeri]

Hi All,

So I been looking to get a new phone. Not confirmed though. Want to see the Nexus 5. But then again, Nexus 5 will be like a average phone like nexus 4. So.. Not so excited about that either.

My current phone is a nexus 4 8GB.

Which one should i go for?

About Note 3, I heard that phone will be region locked. Is it confirmed? I need the phone to be usable in India, US and Europe. And does india get the Snapdragon 800? Or the other one? best deal i can get?

Is the G2(Almost Nexus 5) worth it? or just get the s4? but its like 6 month old now. So..

Let me know.

Thanks.

chainfire has released a region unlock app, which works once the phone is rooted....

Link please? Does that void phone warranty? is it reversible or something?

The phone should be rooted to install it.
Though I really like the G2, I would personally buy the Note 3(US model) because of better development support and better resale value.

How do i get a US model in India? I am guessing it will be grey and no warranty r8? . If so then.. i will get it from US myself. Atleast i will have warranty when i go back there.[DOUBLEPOST=1381211530][/DOUBLEPOST]I was just checking FK...

This is the Indian Non LTE model r8? Which one shouldnt get ??

all indian models r non lte / the note 3 is the octa core version not the 800 chip like the u.s model / makes sense to buy the u.s model for performance and rom support, but yes u will have a 40k+ phone without warranty, though samsung phones are good and there are no issues, but there are times when u get a rotten apple amoungst the lot lol so just be careful and atleast try n get it from a good u.s source so u can get a replacement there incase anything goes wrong. i'm also looking for a phone but havent been able to make up my mind yet, why dont you look @ the nex5, cheaper option which will come with the best xda support for sure.

Already user of nexus 4. Its always a average phone. Nothing great about it. At max LG or any OEM will take their flagship like phone, gut few things and lo nexus. This time I am sure its a type of LG G2, and G2 is far better that Nexus 5. So thats why G2 is in my list. But the non expandable memory is what making me wary.

I kept it in mind that you were returning to US when I suggested the US model.

Thanks mate.

What is that in N4 that you do not like ? Camera?

 

[m-jeri]

Its an average phone. nothing great, all adequate. I want a flagship phone, a true high end phone.

Then as @rdst_1 said buy a US Model N3 N9005.

 

[m-jeri]

Yup fixed. let me get there first... This US govt shut down is not letting me transfer my work permit.

just get 5s ... you will you the build and quality of apps and support

Get the G2. It's the combination of Xperia's standard's camera and performance as Note 3 and size is middle of both note 3 and z1.

 

[m-jeri]

Actually my plan was 5s only. but i need bigger screen. otherwise it would have been apple only this time.

LG G2 for only 32,378.

 

[paarkhi]

The offer is for Indiatimes and my experiences are not so good (one among the worst) shopping from Indiatimes.

 

[prateekS]

They have improved a lot recently.

As others have already mentioned. Get the US Note 3 if size isn't an issue for you. You also get the high-speed camera and 4K video. (Don't know how much you'll use it though.
