vis, 25 Jul 2014U are really proud of being an lg fan aren't u??yes basically im a lg fan (from LG BL40)but not blind.. .
i was fed up of software issues of LG .. but starting from optimus-g they were really working hard to gain market .. they stopped making phones based on nvidia and TI chipsets (which was buggy and no os updates).

They improved the design ( The G3 is really handy phone among 5.5 screen phones) . LG handset normally will be there in reddot awards. LG tried so many new technical features like 3D display,laser focus,knock code, innovative designs like backbutton placement , so many which i was thinking why it was not in other phones . now i started searching backbutton/dual tap the screens of all other phones ..

Yes slowly im becoming addicted to LG phones.

      Lg g3 is probably the king of smartphones

        AnonD-69898, 24 Jul 20142. LG optimus Black 3. LG optimus 2x 3. LG optimus 3D an... moreThanks for the reply. Take a look at LG's website for the LG Optimus Black P970 here:
        http://www.lg.com/za/cell-phones/lg-P970-cell-phone

        LG advertises the device in a way that any manufacturer would. Claims are made to have the 1st this or that. It a perfectly normal campaign as no one would market their product as being second.

        However, upon researching, I find that the real "World's 1st" list is likely to be much different. For instance, I'll disprove a couple here.

        "LG made the First 2mp front camera in Smartphone"

        I'm sure there are many more from the list that aren't true.

Just about any smartphone that you name will be listed here on GSMArena and can be researched very easily. However, you don't offer any proof behind your claims, which means that they will have to be discredited.

          BTW, LG can claim whatever they want on their website. Doesn't make it true.

            Congrats LG . After all this hating comments and negative marketing from sony and samsung fans , still you prove with L-series, G,VU2, G2 ,G Pro 2 , G3 you made people believe in brand from update and quality.

            even google liked G/G2 and made nexus4/nexus5 based on that . Now you are ahead of competition with 2K screen and samsung and sony will follow you with 2K screen in their next devices .. Proud being a LG fan
