LG G3 review: Dream catcher

06 June 2014
Late as usual but ever so strong. In an industry where timing is almost as important as quality, LG's highly anticipated G3 flagship makes landfall in the second half of 2014, a couple of months after the flagships of the other major players. Such a late...

Just realized ZeroLemon and similar companies can launch a massive monster extended battery packs for the LG G3 but it will be a challenge to make a rubber back that doesn't hinder the flash and IR autofocus unit.

A 7000mAh version will do nicely.

    AnonD-77286, 06 Jun 2014The endurance also reflects stand-by, which is rather poor ... moreThe G2 got bad endurance rating because GSMArena reviewed it when Google were having Wakelock problems. It literally wasnt even LGs fault.

You want an argument..I get it lol Let me guess you don't own a LG phone do you? Your so bias u think anyone who has anything decent to say about the g3 must be a' fanboy' right.

                      LMFAO!!! Every site is satisfied with every phone they review...DUH???????
                      And LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. S5's overclocked antutu score.
                      So you are one of the sheep that just read the article titles or played the he said she said game with it huh?
                      LG, HTC, Samsung, and quite a few were all found to be squeezing the max from benchmarks.
                      Samsung jsut recieved more criticism for it. And were about the first to stop while others took a while or have not. LG continued longer.

                      You really have a hard time with reality here don't you?

                            G3 has attracted many haters from other brands. It means that G3 is really a threat to other flagships. The haters are in a hurry to defend their brands. LG really did a great job! The more they hate, the more they are afraid.

                              Anonymous, 07 Jun 2014Wait.. your supposed to be the point of reason here?? Umm o... moreI don't see how replying to fanboy bias with facts is being bias.
                              I can admit the stregnths and weaknesses of both mostly. I can also just tell you what is factually overall better in most cases. I don't care what's better. If S5 is overall ahead than it is. If it were LG or Sony that's amazing and a huge accomplishment for how long Samsung has had a lead.

                              I don't care about personal preference either. Everyone has their own needs and preference.
                              But if you are going to lie out of bias then I have at least just as much right to reply with facts.

                                Life span is not as long, but evolving every year and even most of the first AMoleds are still kicking pretty good.
                                You would have to have the phone for many years to notice in most cases.
                                But yes. LCD has longer life span.

                                    You almost say that as if you feel that just because it's good and was reviewed as excelent...but in a battle was nudged over in a victory means they were talking bad about it.
                                    Nothing here said anything bad or does not "praise" it.
                                    It was a battle of another top device that though the G3 is very good in areas was bested by something a little better in most areas.

                                      "the combination of the G3's processing power and camera features, alongside its behavior monitoring capabilities, makes it an interesting competitor in a competitive flagship smartphone segment."
