Note 3 vs LG G2

Hmm, no comparisons yet. ;)
So, I'm not sure if I will update YET, but both these phones interest me (assuming the Nexus 5 doesn't come to Verizon).
I was on a Galaxy Nexus not long ago, and now an S3. The S3 basically does everything I need EXCEPT two things: Longer battery life, better camera.
I don't take many shots, but when I do, I don't want them to suck. Also, I generally stream music all day at work and keep a charger there just in case.

I've seen and messed with the G2 for a few minutes and I like it. Haven't seen a Note 3 yet. Both are spec'd closely. I'm a bit concerned the N3 will be just too big, but I have found myself a few times in a situation where jotting down a note super fast would be better than finding an app like Keep and typing it in whereas writing it with a stylus could be faster.

The other concern is, since I'd be buying this retail is that the N3 is $100 more on Verizon. Is it worth it? Thoughts anyone?
(I've seen a few comparisons online, reviews, etc. I think reviewers are still just wary of LG)
 
The Note 3 is thinner than the Note 2 and about the same footprint. You can use that for testing the feel.

I would suggest you look at the Z1
 
My next phone will be the note 3 or the lg g2, but I'm completely torn between them. I like the note 3's size, but the g2 is also a large phone in its own right. The carmera seems to be a bit better on the g2 thorough, but by a small margin.

So it would be great to here from others who were in the same boat, but made a decision, and if so. What did you choose and why?
 
I ended up with a G2. :)
Didn't get a chance to handle the Note 3, but if it's about the same size as the Note 2 (which I believe it is overall), was just too big. So far, I'm loving the G2. Battery life is ridiculous. Haven't had much of a chance to use the camera, but the few pics I took are nice (better than my S3).
UI is okay. I'm used to stock/AOSP but willing to give this more of a chance. The amount of bloat is insane which is the main reason I'll root (I have disabled all the Verizon apps already). If there's a Note 3 in stores today, I'll check it out, but I've no regrets on this purchase.
 
Great choice, and sound like to need to come to the dark and root that puppy, it is a piece of cake and there are many none bloatware stock Roms, let us know when your ready ;)

It was a bit of a pain, but Stigy helped me through rooting. :)
Getting TWRP on it is another story and another day. :o
