Re: i_monk
The G2 comes with a 'knock on' feature where you you double tap the screen to turn it off and on. I got used to it but the custom home screen I'm using doesn't recognise the tap to turn it off - hence the screen off button.

Controversially it only has buttons on the back, which are in the perfect position to turn the volume up or down and end a call while holding the phone to your ear. Though sometimes not the most intuitive to turn the screen off if you're holding the phone with two hands.

My GS2 is over three years old and I'm thinking of replacing it by the end of the year. I wouldn't mind staying with Samsung and getting the GS5, but I've heard the LG G3 is pretty good too. Any other Android phones I should consider?

I have an LG G3. It's been great so far, long battery life, nice screen, I'm used to the buttons on the back now; they are now a feature. I've never had the issue of turning the phone up while talking that someone mentioned above I also never have the issue of accidently turning the phone up or off while watching a video, like I did with the GS 3. It took me a minute to get used to the size and there are a few interface issues that are really more subjective than anything. Overall a really nice phone

Looks like I am going to go with the Galaxy Note 4 instead of iPhone 6 plus
I have an upgrade Nov 1st. from my Note 3 and I realized my main focus is screen resolution and camera technology.
The new iPhones have 8mp cameras while the Note4 has a 16mp camera also the Note 4 comes with image stabilization.
The Note 4 has a display of 2560 x 1440 while the iPhone 6+ has a 1920 x 1080 display.
Note wins again. Bummed because I was looking forward to getting an iPhone again becayse of course they are beautifully designed, but I don't know, now the Note 4 has an all metal desing and is suppose to feel very nice too.

Samsung has sucked, aesthetically, but at the end of the day it is true that you cover your phone with a nice case anyway.
I am looking forward to L and I'd like to check that Sony out. The new Moto X looks fantastic, I just wish someone would make a camera comparable to Apples.
- Apple camera sucks. What are you on about?marychain
- Apple camera shoots at 240fps, nothing else goes beyond 30 (that I've seen)formed
- and where did you read it wasn't good? Every review I've seen puts it at the top.formed
- the Lumia or whatever has like 5000 megapixels, and that's all that mattersmonospaced
- Yeah, I think the Apple camera is top-notch. And I don't use a case. If i do, it's extremely minimal and thin.Jaline

Just got Note 4 as replacement for Note 2.
They have really improved that range which was already great.
Camera is remarkable. Screen is the best on the market. Superfast. fast-charging, 2 day battery life.
Only gripe is still the Samsung layer of crap - was supposed to be great now, haven't gone into detail but initial reaction is I just want to remove anything Samsung have added... But see how it goes.
