I'm new to Android and I'm thinking of buying one, I've already read some reviews and still I can't decide which phone to get. Both have excellent specs. I want some opinions from android users so I can decide which phone to buy.

As for usage I might use it for internet, video viewing (not necessarily HD), use as music phone but not always and of course SMS and phone calls.

:D
 
nearly all samsung phones have serious battery life issues. i havent used LG ones, so if the battery life is better than sammy's, i think it makes more sense to go for LG. you can replicate the interface of touchwiz/anything else with launcher pro+add ons.

Nothing wrong with battery life on Samsung phones, all mine have lasted over a day with normal usage. Currently on 1d 17h with some moderate usage even with the stupid gingerbread battery bug with around 40% left.

You can kill any high end phone in less than 6 hours if your a heavy user.

I can attest to that! With my old Palm Pre, with heavy usage, it was dead in 4-6 hours. Smartphones are little-laptops basically. I'm actually surprised we get the battery life out of them that we already do. Heh...

If battery life is a concern, try getting the Extended battery. It does help. My friend has the extended battery for his Smartphone and he never has battery issues.
