When the LG G2 was released last year, it had one of the fastest processors in the market in the Snapdragon 800 from Qualcomm. Since then, many new flagships have been announced sporting a newer and faster Snapdragon 801, one of which is the Sony Xperia Z2. Does the LG G2 still have what it takes to be called number one, or is it time for the device to bow out to a new crop of flagships?
The Xperia Z2 feels like the superior device in this battle of the 5.2-inch Android flagship phones. It’s got a sleek style to both its outwards appearance and software, a great overall performance, great camera and a super long lasting battery. In terms of design, the difference between the two is huge: the glass body of the Z2 gives it a decidedly premium appearance, while the G2 looks much more utilitarian with its glossy plastic shell. The LG G2 is also a great performer that does not lack much in processing power, but its design feels less refined and the camera is a bit less capable.
However, when it boils down to value-for-the-money, the LG G2 has got price on its side, as it can be found for an off-contract price of $400 (€350), while the Xperia Z2 can be had for a much heftier price north of $600 (€600). So if price is not a concern, the Xperia Z2 has got a clear advantage, but if you don’t want to pay the full cost of a new flagship, the G2 is one of the best value-for-the-money offers that still pack flagship-like specs.
