With the flagship G2 handset, LG are aiming to grab some of the market currently dominated by the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One. The G2 boasts a powerful quad-core processor, 13 megapixel camera and, rather unusally, buttons on the rear of the phone.

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

AndroidPit | Kris Carlon

With the G2, LG has managed for the first time to really inspire me with an LG smartphone. The G2 is an excellent smartphone.

Digital Versus | Florence Legrand

The LG G2 is a super-powerful smartphone with a stunning display. It's perfect for multimedia (games, movies, photos, Internet) and has remarkable battery life. Yet another display of genius from LG!

With that massive screen and super-fast quad core CPU, the G2 leaves practically every other Android phone in its wake.

A beautiful screen and great camera and battery life make the G2 a phone to be reckoned with - we just wish it had expandable storage

Pocket-lint | Ian Morris

The G2 is easily a competitor for every other high-end smartphone out there. The "weird" button layout works for us, and it's paired with some smart touch functions that are well thought out. The phone looks and feels great, and just works as a smartphone should.

The LG G2 is an outstanding smartphone almost every way you look at it.

The Mobile Indian | Sandeep Budki

After a long time we are seeing a phone that shows off decent innovations which are high on the utility front. LG has done some great work on the design by introducing the Lock/Volume key at the back. Its display is quite good and even the camera will not disappoint you.

TechnoBuffalo | Roy Choi

The G2 finally gives LG a device that can compete with the best, and is worthy of top billing. It's one of the fastest phones on the market and has a battery that will outlast your busiest days.

SlashGear | Chris Burns

The LG G2 represents the best LG has to offer, including an innovative new way of thinking about the smartphone as a display at it's core - everything else is pushed back both figuratively and literally.

Digital Trends | Jeffrey Van Camp

With the G2, LG is stepping up to the plate. This is a powerful phone with a myriad of simple, but useful new features. Audiophiles and spec junkies should flock to it, and will be available on every major carrier.

ITProPortal | Sandra Vogel

The inability to add extra storage is a real downer, and a very unfortunate decision by LG. I'm not a fan of the slightly budget feel of the G2's backplate either - a more premium finish might have done better in the style wars.

PC Advisor | Chris Martin

LG has trumped the competition with the G2. The phone offers a combination of value for money with high-end features which we haven't seen from rival flagship devices. A great specification combined with impressive design and handy software features mean there's very little to dislike about this handset - only really the lack of a microSD card slot.

Mobile Choice

The beautiful screen and excellent easy-to-use camera make it a great all-rounder, with only the plasticky design and lack of expandable storage detracting from an incredible package.

Engadget | Mat Smith

A combination of high-level specifications and great battery life make the G2 one of the best flagship Android phones out there. However, those rear-facing buttons won't be for everyone.

Wired UK | Katie Collins

The G2 sports more screen than its main Android rivals, and yet remains sleek and light, steering well clear of phablet territory.

TechRadar | Marc Flores

The only thing that would've made this phone closer to perfection is if the buttons were placed where you'd normally find them, and where they're easier to reach.

At the end of the day, the LG G2 is serious competition to other high-end smartphones on the market, and its wide array of features make it a fine choice for nearly anyone's needs.

Mobile Syrup | Daniel Bader

The G2 is a really good device pockmarked by a few poor design choices. From the vivid screen to the ultra-fast processor to the sharp camera and outstanding battery life, the device is a powerhouse and a spec-hunter's dream phone. With a case and some patience, this could be one of the year's best Android devices.

pocketnow | Michael Fisher

The G2 is not trying to be on the same playing field as the HTC One, Moto X, and Galaxy S 4. It's trying to straddle the gap between a smartphone and a phablet, offering the features of the latter at the price point of the former – and frankly, it's not doing it terribly well.

NotebookCheck | Daniel Schuster

All that said: The difference between the 5.2-inch G2 and the smaller model is big -- very big. Were it not for the hardware buttons on the backside of the device, the G2 Mini could easily be confused with the LG L90.

Android Authority | Kristofer Wouk

With incredibly speedy performance, a stellar and jaw dropping 1080p display, an extremely thin bezel, fantastic imaging capabilities, and road-warrior worthy battery life, it looks like LG has created one of the best smartphones, ever.

Newer rivals may better its specs and performance now, but that doesn't make the G2 a has-been. LG's flagship phone remains a worthy contender.

MSN Tech | Paul Lamkin

The best LG smartphone ever? You betcha. Better than HTC and Samsung's top guns? Not quite - but the G2 definitely hits the upper echelons of the Android hierarchy.

Coolsmartphone | James Pearce

The LG G2 is a great phone, with a bit of fiddling it's an amazing phone, with a bit of hacking it would be an astounding phone. It's just the normal person buying one of these won't probably be able to even turn off some of the unnecessary features.

...there just aren't really any aspects of it that would make you actively choose the G2 over say the Galaxy S4 or the HTC One.

LG's most appealing phone yet, the G2 marries cutting-edge tech with a gorgeous screen. It's just a shame that it lacks a MicroSD card slot.

CNET UK | Damien McFerran

One of the most powerful Android phones on the market right now, the LG G2 may not have the looks of its rivals -- its button placement could annoy some users -- but it has a fantastic display, superb battery life and a lightning-fast processor.

If all you care about are specs, the G2 has them in spades, but it doesn't have the best user experience.

What Mobile | Jamie Feltham

The G2 has a lot of things going for it. It's a powerhouse phone with excellent performance that also features a great screen, impressive battery life and a good camera. But LG has some way to go if it wants to catch up with Samsung and the G2 won't do the job.

Aside from its excellent display, battery life is perhaps the one other most impressive feature of the LG G2.

With a 4.7-inch display, the LG G2 mini isn't exactly diminutive, but it provides an respectable midrange package regardless.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
