Talk:LG G2

Why is this smartphone not described also as a phablet due to its big screen size - 5.2" - which is between the sizes that define the size of a phablet that are 5-6.9 inches screen size? Isn't this smartphone a hybrid of both a smartphone and a tablet? Ram Zaltsman (talk) 19:36, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

There have been some 5-inch phones that are not explicitly marketed as a phablet (such as the [[HTC Droid DNA). As sources do not refer to it as such, we cannot call it a phablet. ViperSnake151  Talk  19:57, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Network Compatibility

Regarding Network Compatibility being cruft. I disagree. People visit various countries and wonder what local providers are compatible with their phone (they don't want to be raped by the roaming fees). People buy phones in neighbour countries or while visiting. People also often buy grey-imported phones. Sometimes phones are compatible, sometimes not. Looking at the network compatibility table it's pretty easy to see compatibility. Saying that "exact band compatibility depends on models" is not very helpful. This information is scattered across various websites. Why not collect it here? If network compatibility is cruft why dimensions in millimeters and inches are not cruft? It's easy to find that elsewhere and easy to convert.

I have cut out of GSM and CDMA information now, as GSM is universally supported and CDMA technology does not allow switching providers anyway. I'm going to move FCC ids from a column to references in the notes column as I discovered to how link to the FCC website. The FCC filing contains useful info and it's good to have a connection between phone model and FCC id. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ecbf (talk • contribs) 23:17, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a product catalog. It's useful isn't a very good argument in some cases. ViperSnake151  Talk  17:19, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

and I'd like to counter that multiple phone articles list model variations, hell look at the article for iPhones. If you're going to go on some sort of self-righteous crusade here, don't limit it to just one article or you look like an idiot. Here's an additional to consider as well: See if you can find any information on Google within a minute on the LTE bands of the various models of the G2. I certainly couldn't. In this case it's definitely needed. 96.49.167.211 (talk) 09:29, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Supported frequency bands are product properties just like dimensions or number of pixels in the camera. The reason they vary from region to region is because it's impossible to create a smartphone compatible with all carriers. If they are to be removed half of the infobar should be removed too starting from dimensions all the way down. What is the reason battery capacity is included especially for two variants? Why list display size? The article that you linked says: "If reasons are given, "usefulness" can be the basis of a valid argument for inclusion... Information found in tables in particular is focused on usefulness to the reader." I have provided the reasons.Ecbf (talk) 02:16, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

The conversion of FCC id column to references is on hold since the FCC website was shutdown. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ecbf (talk • contribs) 02:26, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
