LG G2 OR HTC E8 Which One To Buy??

V

As the Title Which is the better option among them ,i like both of them,i known that lg is a older mobile and htc has the latest spec and i found that htc ui is not very good and its having more length then LG G2 might be difficult to handle and one more option is to wait for Moto X Gen2 :razz:

wait for moto x+1
also, +1 to LG g2/G pro 2

G2 is better...Much better...
Or wait for Moto X (2nd gen)

It will be available

Out of those two E8 obviously. Don't know why any sane person will go for that other phone!

Neither phone supports 2160P video recording.The E8 has the fastest snapdragon chip so its future proof however G2 is better phone overall.

The moto X+1 is better than both in terms of pure specs but where it fails is in the battery department, it has a mere 2300 MAH battery.With that FHD screen, it wont even get you through the day.

If you can extend your budget to 36-37K(and you are not a sammy hater), SGS 5 is the most versatile of the lot.

the capacitive buttons on the htc dont have a backlight. so in darker places or at night you will not be able to see the buttons.
lg has a cool feature that if you double tap the screen, the screen goes off and do the same to power it on.
also has a manual focus option on camera which allows you to take some awesome shots. optimus one p500 owners will approve this.
lg screen is very nice and ui is really beautiful.

i dont know what haooened to the quality of htc phones. their price has changed but quality has gone south.

The company, Motorola announced that the battery of moto x will last a full day. I think it because of the turbo battery saving mode.

G2 is overprice IMO ,you can get 32 GB version for like 24k or less from Dubai or US, at that if you are able to get it ,then buy it ,the advantage of g2 is ,it was ,if not the best phone of its generation and if you head over to XDA,you can pimp it with so many stuff
E8 spec wise ,it has an upgraded processor, which i don't think gives a remarkable bump in user experience ,but I think its dual Sim and also with expandable storage ,with a half decent camera
So I think at 33 go for e8 ,
Another option I'd OPPO find 7a at around 32k its worth the punt ,it's a good phone or wait for a while, new phones are going to be released ,those are worth checking out

G2 all the way. If you're gonna root it it'll be awesome. You can even record 4k vids after rooting which is great imo.

Don't buy either of two!
Wait for new Moto X!
Or N6

Moto X due this month and it's worth every penny!

Est. Cost- 25-27 k

Motorola Moto X (2014) vs. HTC One (E8) - GSMArena.com

Comparing dimensions of the two, Moto X is wider, which acc. to me is more imp. aspect for usability than length.

But your call in the end. HTC One is dual SIM, though

Moto X 2nd gen will be available by the end of the month

Full day doing what? Can they be more ambiguous?

Today i went to local shops here and find out that its not easily available and some are little overpricing 32GB version is for ₹37,500 :shock:

,I may have to buy online

As kunalgujarathi said the Est. Cost- 25-27 k is it for 16GB version? Will it be Available in 32GB version or as Moto X only 16 GB version :-x

With those kind of specs, expecting 32Gb at ~25k is a pipe dream imho.

Moto X 2nd gen to launch for 30-32k... all phones in this price bracket are nowhere near to Moto X

Nexus 5 comes pretty close.

Lg G2 is still better than Moto X in price to value ratio.

+1

Moto has achieved optimisation levels that even Google on its own Nexus couldn't achieve!

So definitely Despite being Full HD,2.5 GHz the 2400~2500 maH will provide decent battery life!

Snapdragon 801 is nothing but a boosted 800, camera yet to be reviewed, note that moto x lacks OIS which is very important for low light shots, moto voice isn't that exciting imho, battery life is yet to be seen.

Do you have a source for this?

these optimization were done under Google's leadership. N5 is using stock android without much optimizations as it is suppose to act more like a developer device. Another point: Moto X doesn't have heating problem as other flagships (not as severe as others). The 2 Krait 300 are allowed to run at full clockspeed for longer without throttling something i doubt Nexus 5 can.

That article doesn't list Nexus 5, also we are talking about Moto X 2014, which will have Krait 400, quad core, just like N5 but faster hence producing more heat. The entire Snapdragon 8xx line up suffers from Heating issues.

Also from the article you referenced, battery is on par, nothing spectacular: AnandTech | Moto X Review

Snapdragon 8xx eats through battery, there is a limit to how much you can optimize it, so I'll believe it when I see it.

i know. he referred to Moto X (2013) optimizations. 2014 has just came out. should have similar tweaks.

tkin said:

but people want fast processor. faster processor. fastest processor. Moto X 2013 got criticized for using a midrange processor. people should get used to it. it has been said multiple times a fast dual core is always better than a quadcore which acts like a oven but nobody will buy a phone with dualcore anyway (except Apple ofcourse). now everybody wants octacore.

Battery life will definitely be worse. small battery with bigger screen & power hungry processor. also added more sensors & ICs. makes me wonder if Motorola did some optimization with the SOC itself (binning!!!) but irrespective it'll be poor. waiting for anandtech to tear apart the scores and reveal all those secret sauce.

Stop arguing about these things. Original Moto X is a brilliant phone, I'm sure the new one will be too.
I didn't even consider the previous Nexus 5, as it was made by LG. But now I will.

It'll be a great rivalry between those two, but if Nexus 6 really comes with QHD resolution then I'm out.

Anyway, off topic stuffs, no one should care about what I want or anyone wants other than OP, so stopping here.

Iphone 5s is also a option at 36k.

Very good choice, congrats and do show some pics.
As far as the earphones go the answer is yes and no, its better than most earphones that come with other phones, but not as good as premium ones sold separately.

Yes, get a cover, the lens will get scratched if you don't.

Nillkin Flip Cover is the best one for the G2: Nillkin Flip G2 - Buy Products Online at Best Price in India - All Categories | Flipkart.com

You can get it cheaper in eBay as well, I got mine from eBay.

Also get a screenguard, helps keep the screen pristine.

Quality of the nillkin cover is good, it protects the screen and the back and also supports the quick window function. The only other case to support the quick windows is the official one costing ~2k. The case also has magnet to keep the flap in place, locked tight.
