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...

          Anonymous, 07 Jun 2014as for this review by GsmArena Overall its a great review... moreYour "final software" is not going to improve the measly 6hr web browsing to respectable 10+. Believe me this was the reason i didnt get nexus 5.

                    The smartphone packs a neat set of call-
                    related tricks such as automatically silencing the ring of an incoming call just by putting the phone face down or automatically answering an incoming call by raising it to your ear. Did somebody yell... Copycats!

                        Slow Flagship.

                            A huge thanks to gsmarena. No site presents users with Sunlight Contrast Ratio, Contrast Ratio, Headphone Audio Quality.

                            Screen and Sound are the two most important factors.

                            LG failed miserably in both.

                            Such a low contrast ratio is highly unacceptable.
                            Its literally unusable in outdoors. Trust me I've N3 with Sunlight Contrast Ratio of 3.997. I find myself struggling in direct sunlight. 1.8 of LG G3 is simply bizarre for a top dog flagship.

                            What's up with all LG flagships with Snapdragon processor. Quiet in headphone ? Totally useless... They should have put a hardware amplifier for headphone out too..

                            Useless phone. ....

                                  Anonymous, 07 Jun 2014amoled is only good in deep blacks. while IPS is better in... moreNo. LCD's are set to very high overly warm white balance.
                                  So in your words:fake, non natural, no true to life.
                                  In Movie Mode Amoled hits one of the closet to proper white balances there are.

                                  LCD has FAKE blacks. No neutral. And the contrast is washy. Both even on the best of the best. Plus un even back light which creates bright spots on the screen. And they are more reflective, user more space, and more power overall.

                                  other colors like, red, orange, maroon, yellow
                                  is OVER SATURATED ON LCD. So what's your point?

                                  So yes you do need to deal with it. I already understand the facts and am simply sharing them. You are the one hurt in denial of the truth.

                                    Anonymous, 07 Jun 2014Still LCD colors are more better and more NEUTRALIZED than ... moreNo. Just less saturated. G2 is a fairly over saturated LCD.
