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...

        LG copied TouchWiz for Optimus ui for quite some time now.
        They all made and borrowed some things. What's your point?

          Having read several reveiws recently, I'm intrigued by a phrase you use frequently when describing phone cameras. You refer to "phase detection"!! Shouldn't this be FACE detection??? Thank you

            At least 70% of the world's phones use at least Samsung memory chips. Some more...cpu, ram, memory, so on.

                Sony Z2 or Zx will always neglect ergonomics due to its angular corners, G3 will be easier to use with one hand since is nicely curver corners, Galaxy Sx are ugly designed curves,but people blindly buy due to brand name. HTC Mx is seriously out of proportion with its length to width ratio.

                    Why does this phone arise so many haters ?
                    Because it is a great phone.

                        AnonD-246723, 09 Jun 2014As you mention it did poorly even with wifi . Not to menti... moreWifi and Radio perform differently. A poorly written Wifi Driver can cause massive drain than even 3G/4G network.

                        Change you DTIM on the router from 1 to 3 and you notice the battery life more than double. A WiFi driver that has a bug can cause the device to engage in network chatter way more than usual and that drains battery.

                        GSM doesn't test mobile data networks as it is not feasible to ensure repeat-ability plus it is costly.

                        Stock browser efficiency matters in these tests. Use another browser and results can be drastically different.

                        You see 11 hrs on WiFi browsing on devices like Z2 or G2 you will be lucky to get 4 hrs SOT on same device on 3G all day.

                                    LG always doesn't let Samaung to take its breath.LG is first to use 2g ram in its Optimus G1 while S3 with 1g ram then S3 use 2g ram later.LG is first to use CPU 2.26 Ghz in its LG G2 while S4 was worked with Octa core 1.6Ghz and Quad core 1.9Ghz,then Samsung made S4 active to compete LG G2.Now LG made G3 with QHD display which is better than S5 display .Samsung is trying to make QHD display for its S5 prime or Galaxy F.LG is serious but Samsung is smart.
