- Lisa Gade compares the LG Optimus G Pro and the Samsung Galaxy Note II. Both are Android 4.1.2 smartphones with 5.5" displays and quad core CPUs. We look at the AT&T version of both phones, and they have LTE 4G, dual band WiFi, GPS, microSD card slots and removable batteries. The Note II has the digital S Pen, while the LG Optimus G Pro has a faster CPU and a higher resolution display.

Great review. I have both of them in the international version and use the Note as a table, note taking and the Optimus as a phone. Bravo Lisa.
I love my note 2 ! Its HD quality really. Catches your eyes even in pictures. It's amazing how its camera is 8 mega pixels and still takes clean pictures (:
Great review! Thank you for helping me put the feature differences in perspective.
at MWC 2013 they featured the LG Optimus G Pro also had an extendable antenna for korean digital tv. I would prefer this version not just for a new phablet, but for those random fencing duels i get myself into ;)
You are the reason why I got my S3. Keep it up :)
I agree. I have had mines for about a week and I love it! I'm glad I went with the LG.
I LOVE LISA.........i learn a lot....KUDOS for my G Pro
Awesome video as always. Just one question...what king of dock are you using in this video? Thanks
Great review like always lisa I have the galaxy note to myself that I love it
Lisa, I would humbly recommend to review the OPPO Find 5 . I just got it and it is a very interesting and amazing phone.
You didn't mention the quick remote feature that works as an infrared universal remote. A nice feature that I always wanted considering the logical and easy implementation. As for the Galaxy note I have no idea if this feature is offered.
What lovely weather app is that in your Note 2 notification shade?
Good review Lisa! As for color saturation - AMOLEDs aren't inherently over saturated - it's just the Samsung calibration. While you can get more "natural" colors at "screen modes" section, it's still poorly calibrated. Flash Perseus kernel if you want perfect calibration, and you'll get real life colors + deeper blacks :)
And thanks for the 720p vs 1080p comparison - the difference is way overstated by many others. It's barely noticeable on such small screens even if you have perfect vision.
Don't know yet. In the US the Note II came out in Dec. 2012, so I'd expect by Dec. 2013 here in the US.
That's the Weather Channel in the Note 2 notification area.
Love you Lisa
Excellent review but what is that stand called that you are using in this video to put one phone in when you are using the other???
Lisa, does the Movie Mode on the Note II compare favorably to the color calibration on the G Pro?
I find that the Movie Mode does wonders to mellow out the garish AMOLED colors, and even softens the white point, though maybe it's still not iPad-accurate. At least the Samsung flagships offer choice in color settings.
Thank you for another great smack down. I think I will wait to see what that new Motorola phone is going to offer. That and the Amazon phones (not to mention the new iPhone when it comes out) should be interesting.
great review
Thanks to this video I made a purchase. Great phone. Moved from Samsung and absolutely love the G Pro. Not sure what phone AverageGuy was looking at but don't have a problem with screen.
It's not all about the specs. Performance speaks for itself. It is about the user experience your getting from it, and the Galaxy Note 2 has a'lot more to offer.
Great video thank you(:
Very good work. In my opinion as a Note II user, what really makes the difference is the S Pen and S memo. The large screen is nice bit the phone would be unattractive if not for the functionalities above. After using the Note II, I can't possibly see myself with a non Note device. Eagerly waiting for the Note III. The Optimus is a great phone but as far as functionality goes it can't hold a candle up to the Note II.
I had a Note 2 for years, finally broke the screen when I dropped it. Wanted something "new to me" so I got the G Pro rather than upgrading to a newer Note. Only issue is I'ma photographer and an artist. So not having the pen to draw is a negative, but camera is much better on the LG G Pro.
Like what? I'm not discounting your opinion but what does the note 2 have to offer over the Pro? The S pen? My friends who have the note 2 haven't touched the pen in months.
interesting to see LG have added some type of a window manager for applications (think applications running on a PC and the window around it)
The LG's back is so slippery that it just started sliding on its own (on a seemingly level table!). I know, it looks kinda spooky ;) And yes, the Samsung's back is equally as slippery.
I have the G Pro and it's hands down the best phone on the market.
you need big hands for this baby, definitely a papa bear phone
Nah man the Note 3 is better. But the Optimus G pro 2 is coming out and it will be slightly better than the Note 3.
But price wise it's $49.99 on at&t while the Note 3 is $299 but the Note 2 is free and honestly this or the G2 are the best phones for the price.
i love my g pro its so nice.
Zach Booth The G pro 2 will be amazing. but the G3 might be better. The g pro is okay though but it needs kitkat. Its already on the korean version.
***** yeah do you know when kitkat comes out for the g pro? lol i agree with you though
Zach Booth
Nah but I would guess within a couple months. If not then I guess it may be time to upgrade.
i'm about to get one. is it me or the the lg screen not the size of the phone just the screen not as wide? I know there both 5.5 but is the LGs screen looks longer and thiner. like the iphone 5. its longer but not wider.
I love my optimus E970, and Now have the supersweet E980. It has 64gigs of built in and a 64gig micro card. I have a total 46 gigs loaded so far. Love mine so much I picked up one for my little sweety pie. She has never had a better phone as well. The 13 megapix camera is awsome, videos are superb as well. All aps load up FAST. Hands down the best phone out. GO LG and ANDROID ROCKSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Si estoy de acuerdo muchas gracias los respeto como somos y nunca vamos a cambiar por que a un amigo se le respeta para que lo respeten
When is the note 3 coming out? In September?
Split screen is also available on the Note 8.0 and the Note 10.1 if you're looking for a Samsung tablet.
Lisa, will the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 make it to the U. S. anytime soon? Now that's a phablet.
Why is it when you have he lg optimus g pro the battery is always low?
what is the LG model shown in the screen
You can turn down the saturation if you want it to be more natural.
I had the option... decided with the LG two reasons 1. Home screen response time def quicker and 2. The screen has brighter whites
different screen technologies, the LG is AMOLED with darker blacks and cleaner whites where the Samsung Note II is IPS. Now the IPS will have better colour due to brightness especially in a lit environment needed for recording videos.
If I had to choose I'd get the Pro, but my carrier is Verizon, and as of now it's only rumored to be coming to big red...
how to get, that weather channel in my Note II
11:28 the sheer power of the Note 2 is literally pushing the LG away! :O
Can't wait for the note 3
LG has step up to the high end..this phone to me is faster that the sammy.
I'm looking to get an unlocked for tmobile. have to do a little more research tho.
Great review..thank you
Im using the note 2 while typing this. I think I gotta buy the LG Optimus G Pro. Its going to be hard to leave my note 2 but I think LG might have a winner here.
can it upgrade to android kitkat 4.4?
From watching this vid, the Note 2 screen just looks much better. Note 3 and Nexus 5 (??) here I come!!
I think the Optimus G Pro will surprise a lot of people.
ah, but the s pen is'nt merely a stylus, is it? I would miss it
Lg optimus Gnote !
The LG optimus pro is hands down the best spec for spec phone when your comparing it with the note 2. Better display, processor clock speeds, camera and don't forget its also cheaper.
Yeah I think the G is 49.99 on ATT and 99.99 for the G Pro if you have an upgrade. I would never pay full price for a phone since I'm going to stick with a big carrier anyway, those pay as you go plans are almost as much as a full carrier contract.
I completely agree! :)
For a second I thought you were calling them "FABULOUS!"...
please review Oppo Find 5 if possible
I am talking about the fact Samsung got sued for copying Apple in both software and in design on a lot of there previous phones.
I haven't had a LG phone since the LG VU with the antenna lol
higher mgpx isnt necesarely a good thing,- if phone cant process it corectly/fast enough which is the case on the optimus G when panoraming with video shooting and the phone have to "smudge" out the tha actual pixels which you can see when you study the photos of the Optimus G
someone can tell me about the lg g pro music?
thx
no i prefer LG it's has everything and more there is a Quick memo it's using by vol up+dwn it's like g style u can take screen shoot and start editing it and drown on it crop and more and the m tasking it's 4 apps can editing it and change them . nice review
Had the note 2 and was very disappointed with the screen resolution. 720 come on Samsung what were u thinking. It makes a huge difference also the light notification on lg is super cool. My choice surprisingly is LG this time
I use the note 2 and find it to be the best android experience i have ever had.
The touchwiz user interface, bigger battery, wider screen, S pen features, more customization. But i would get neither of these, I would rather get the HTC One.
I wear glasses, now, and the Optimus G Pro screen looks much better! And my glasses are not on right now, haha.
Gonna get LG when it comes
LG has stepped up their game.
When u go big will never, ever turn to small .... get it. Note rockk.
Hello Lisa and fellow subscribers I currently own an iPhone 4 and its been good but time for a change so I'm wondering if anyone has any android phone suggestions? I don't want the iPhone 5 because if I'm going to spend the money I want to experience something new :) any suggestions? Thanks.
11:39 G Pro : "let it slide"
I have the G Pro this phone with stock android 4.3 with cyanogen mod 10.2
AMAZING!! Nexus Phablet!
Right on ;)
I sont know if its just me but the note2 has a 720 screem & the pro has a 1080p & yet the note2 looks brighter & a lil more colorfur
You can buy a stylus for the g pro...
LG Optimus G Pro has out of the box wireless charging...everyone forgets to mention this
The pen is a positive surprise
"G" in G Pro stands for Ghost and Ghosts are known for being spooky..!!
Waiting for note 3
pls start to review games
love my note 2!
they actually paid half that, the judge slashed the 1 billion by about a half.
My LG is damaged...can't wait for the Note 3!!!
I doubt it buddy....
so close!
How in the world could the G pro be the best smartphone of 2013?
1) made by LG = you wont get a 4.2.2 update until probably next year because LG sucks at updating their devices
2) Not the best display compared to the One or S4
3) Note 3 is around the corner and its confirmed to have a true 8core processor/ beautiful camera/ and so much more to come
Just like how the S3 came out and the Note 2 was pretty much a bigger and better version of the S3 last year...
Expect the same this year...
Their is nothing better than the s-pen in real world use. LG Optimus needs s-pen to make me give up my note 2.
Galaxy Note 2 is far superior to any phone on the market including S4, DNA, or HTC One. My opinion
Multitasking is much better on the Note 2....you can do so much on 1 screen
Galaxy Note 2 is the best !!! i proud of it
I downiszed my Note 2 to s2. It was jus too big for my hand. S2 Sky Rocket did everything I wanted on the Note 2 but more compact for my hand.
The Pro is Pricey?! The note is still 299 at most places....the pro is already $99. The note has a 720 p screen vs the pro's 1080p. Quad core snapdragon 600. Ya know the same as is in the s4 and htc one. The pro is a no brainer. I don't get it.
The pro has a bigger battery. Same size screen. Pro is lighter and thinner. The pro is more customizable. See quick button which you can customize with any app on the phone and customize any app's size and picture. So i guess you are left with touchwhiz. $200 more for touchwhiz? Its apparent you don't know anything about the pro.
samsung is so good that it has a special seat to sit
I like her, never seen a lady that think like me lol
The G pro's camera is 13mp and its the worst 13mp camera I've used in 2013...
The note 2's 8mp can rival/compete with that of the g pro's
Galaxy Note 2 the Best
agreed
LG Optimus G Pro is so sexy and classy.
Obviously Note II ♥♥
youre right better for 1 hand
if the note 3 comes, i think it will be $299.99 for a 2 year contract....$349.99 for t-mobile :(
