LG G3 hands-on: First look

27 May 2014
The LG G2 is a living legend for its razor thin bezels but it's time to pass on the torch. The compactness spell worked once again and the LG G3 fits a massive 5.5" QHD screen in a body barely bigger than that of its competitors. Who needs phablets...

"Laser" autofocus, as the article states, is only a marketing ploy. It's actually IR, not harmful. Same on my (old) N8. HTH

      I would prefer an S4 or G2 over an M8. Nothing exclusive in the M8 except the 2 cameras at the back which still doesn't produce nothing worth mentioning.

        AnonD-263433, 27 May 2014...excellent, but 9mm is a bit much for my liking...Also think there is no stylus, and the whole set-up a bit weak on the productivity side. That's just me, using a phone for working

                Question about the iR focus...even staring into an infrared laser isn't good on the eyes, how will LG prevent idiots who look into this for prolonged periods, or multiple times from screwing up their eyes? Maybe put a sticker on it that says do not stare into invisible laser with remaining good eye?

                      this is the best LG ever,for this year.. but i am sure after LG G3, there will be an upcoming to this one, i think its LG G4? (HAHAHAHAH) / just kidding!, maybe one day, i will be right. im satisfied for what i have now.. no need to upgrade the handset, the important thing is, you can communicate to the one you love using the phone you have..

                          Great phone, but the screen resolution craze has forced them to increase the screen size in order to gain any benefits from the QHD screen. I can't see myself holding a phone that big, however, even with the non-existent bezels (well done for that really)

                            This G3 looks really promising to me, especially the screen-to-bezel ratio is just freaking awesome, well done LG

                              I think, it's the best android on the market. And one of the best phones around,well done LG. I am fan of WP8 mobile,bit i admit LG G3 is a powerful game changer
