        Maybe you need more friends of a phone where you still have great viewing even at 45 degrees.

          Good comparision gsmarena

          You people were spot on with your comparision test but personally I would go with LG G2 as it is more pocket friendly even though it is a bit plasticky in its appearence nevertheless looks are subjective and finally its upto the readers as to which phone would satisfy all their needs as all the three phones are fantastic performers.

                      Obvious winner of the three phones --> Note 3 LTE.
                      It beats the other phones hands down, in overall.

                      1st - Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (My 1st choice recommendation as well)

                      2nd - LG G2 (this is 2nd phone I recommended for people surrounding me that don't want too big phone)

                      3rd - Sony Xperia Z1 (It is a good phone, but too many drawback especially the display which most important to me, I never recommended this to anyone, I know it camera is the best, but others ain't bad also, so I don't see any value point to recommended this)

                        [deleted post]maybe 2 or 3 people looking at photos on your phone?

                        I sense if it was the Note 3 with poorer viewing angles you would be hammering the point?

                            I was just pointing out the basic math presented to us.
                            GSMarena can't cater to every single person's taste - but they can clarify the stats.
                            Whether you agree with them or not is circumstantial.

                              Anonymous, 18 Oct 2013actually, I find Sony and LG design much nicer than SamsungNo doubt about that.
                              I was just saying that Sony must not repeat the same mistake that Sammy made with its phones.

Enjoy ur G2 but that doesn't take the best away from note3, mind you note3 is not cheap plastic, its stitched, with a luxurious business like leather look unlike G2's glossy plastic.

                                  AnonD-53326, 18 Oct 2013In paper this 3way comparison is actually right. Note 3 is ... moreit's the same reason I bought my Z1 - design, premium feel. Note 3 and LG don't give me the solid premium quality.

                                  I love the way Z1 is designed - its attention to detail. It has a lot of small things that help it to make it useful in overall. Like the way its skin is designed, the placement of buttons, speakers, etc.

                                  Many people think all these small things are no big deal, but it's all these attention to details that make the phone very convenience to use.

                                  Lastly, I find its 2-day battery life sufficient already. Though a 3-4 days battery life will be better.
