Upgrading my phone. Cheap ATT phone to LG G2. Advice?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-G2-Latest...item27f252e421

Looking at upgrading my current phone. Anyone have the LG G2 linked above? Currently I use a AT&T Tribute/Fusion 3...
http://www.att.com/esupport/article....B425444&cv=820
and my backup is a Nokia Lumia 635 windows phone...
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/mobile/phone/lumia635/

Both are low end phones. I really like the Windows phone but the lack of google apps blows it for me.

I already know this blows away my cheapy phones from last Christmas but is it worth the money to upgrade?

Phone has a tendency to crack screen easy. If you get one get a really good case

Good price, but you get what you pay for.

Haven't had any issues with my touchscreen.

And as for what home team is saying, I don't believe it. I've dropped my phone on concrete and asphalt more times than I can count. Phone is still 9/10 cosmetically.

Bought a 2 week old G2 off swappa last year and havent had any complaints. Upgraded to Lollipop on AT&T and I have no issues, even the battery life hasnt changed much if at all, a lot of people were complaining that it reduced it but I havent noticed any difference.

Well, as much as I would like to upgrade I think I'll just stick to the $50 phones. The idea of paying nearly $200 for a phone and then have the glass break because of some freak thing doesn't appeal to me.

Read a couple reports from people buying the phone, having the glass break because if fell on carpet. They had to pay $125 to get it fixed and within 2 weeks the repaired phone had the glass break again.

Kind of disappointed really but its easier to replace the cheap smart phone if something bad happens.

I really do like my Windows Phone but it irritates me that they can't get google apps on it. Hell, iPhone gets google apps so why is google holding out on windows? ITs not like they are going to go out of business because of it.

G2s are going from 150-200 on eBay. Honestly, the chances of the glass breaking on a soft fall are really low IMO. And you can get a case if you're worried.

I hate cases. It makes the phone twice the size and they don't fit in the pocket as well. This one is $190 brand new but I am seeing way too many complaints about glass breakage and dead sections on the touch screen over time. I don't want to put that much money into something and end up with one of those scenarios.

that said, I have never broken a phone screen in my life but I have also never spent that much money for a phone.

The case I have is the official G2 case with the flap. Adds less than 2.5 millimeters to the phones thickness. I don't know if it's the reason my glass has never broke or even scratched really, but I like it a lot.
