Esteem VS Motion

[AnthonyXoom]

Well, looking at the S2 coming to Boost for the same price that the Esteem is, I would love to see the S3 on Metro for less than $500. And if that's the case, I wouldn't spend that much on a phone. If I get that money in my hands (after paying the bills), I would put some new toys inside my PC, but that's maybe just me. In the other hand, going back to this LG Motion, my plan is to buy it for my lil bro or give him the Esteem if the Motion turns out to be better.

6900 benchmark antutu out of the box for the motion. That's higher than what I got with the gs3 from tmobile and yes I bought one.

Just one and I am staying with metro, screw contract prices.. I played with tmobile and I played with at&t both with gs3's and the gs3 on the at&the network kills the tmobile version, the at&t version consistently out performed the tmobile version in antutu and quadrant scores. I now have one phone(lg motion) and am back with metro.

the at&t version consistently out performed the tmobile version in antutu and quadrant scores.

I dont know a lot about phones when it comes to different providers so i am wondering how does that happen? Isnt it the same phone, same specs etc..? Why is it faster?

I don't understand it either, I was told it has to do with the bandwidth... But I am not sure. Tmobile however stated in a online article that they did not include lte chips in there version. However there's no way to confirm that because tmobile is in process of conversion to lte.

Well I think you made a good choice by staying I try both sprint and tmobile and felt uncomfortable with contract and fees metro rules for me

I am right there with you.

Maybe out performed because of the number bloatware both had?

Tmobile's version was loaded with useless crap

 

[HereticSins]

Yeah i got the motion too. Its a damn small beast.

That made the difference, i guess. And It is a small beast indeed. Woot!

Was putting my hopes into waiting for the sg3 getting on metro, but now thanks to apple we may not see it. gotta wait and see what happens next.

Stock esteem.

Stock galaxy s2.

Stock lg motion.

I Wish I still had the s3 to take pictures of the test results, but I promise you the results of the test were around 4900 on the tmobile version.

 

[eljefe0000]

so its safe to say this is a nice phone does it perform better than the esteem?
for those that have it aside from the screen size which would you pick?

For performance the motion hands down imagine when this baby gets root

 

[mayonaka45]

Cant wait for that. hoping to get this, to play around with,

 

[yahhboy]

I'd still rather have an s3 on contract, who cares what a benchmark says

Compare against the esteem LG Motion 4G vs LG Esteem - Phone specs comparison

Also the Lg motion allows you to remove all the apps that came with the phone without the need to root. BIG +

aside from pixel density and screen size the Lg Motion is quite a beast.

Hi, im on the lg esteem and i can still sell it on ebay for 200! Anyone go from esteem to the motion? And if you liked or hated the change in screen size, or anything else youdidn't or did like bette r? Thanks. Ps I don't see a flash on the motion...? I know the flash makes a huge difference on the esteem...
