LG G3 seem promising design but in wrong move. There should release two device under G3 flagship.Should release LG G3 Full HD and G3 Quad HD to target the lose out point to ppl who like more screen power or more on battery power. Then , it will hardly get counter back by samsung.

    Well, I do not understand your logic at all. First you write that display of LG3 is much worse than it should be while display of SGS5 is very good.
    Then you write that LG3 won in display comparison just because under microscope you can clearly see that it has more pixels?

          AnonD-60521, 20 Jun 2014as i always says....LG REALLY needs to change their strateg... morei agree. if they released earlier than the s5 they might beat samsung in sales worldwide or maybe win by a landslide. its got great screen to phone size ratio, better finish(brushed metal like) and that QHD really seems like a step ahead compared to others. but since they released it after the s5, people can compare their performance. for me, what i really check in buying a phone are the display, the camera and the processor. they might have a tie for camera and proc but once i start running benchmarks, most probably s5 will win. and when i inspect the display, im not going to put the phone too close to my face. id inspect it like how i usually use a phone and with s amoleds punchy color(this might be good especialy if ur just viewing/comparing wallpapers), very deep blacks, wide viewing angles(most probably i wont be able to test sunlight legibility in a store)s5 would win me over. but if LG released earlier than s5, then theres nothing to compare it to and the specsheet would show that its better than the s5 and if im in a hurry and would just look at the specsheet, i might have gotten a G3. unless theres a z2 beside it. haha.

                LG G3 is also 21% cheaper than the S5. Why was this not mentioned.

                  Anonymous, 20 Jun 2014I like LG's design and performance when it was G2. I admit ... moreYep, G2 users may not be see a huge advantage in moving to G3. But for people with older phones like me have G3 as one of the considerations. Thought of getting a Nexus 6 but seems like either its gonna be scrapped or gonna take little longer for that device to be launched. Had Nexus 5 included a SD card & a better battery life..i wud hav taken it right away...otherwise thts an incredible phone.

                      Nicolas82, 19 Jun 2014Samsung sets the standards and all others try to follow. S5... moreReally? Then that maybe is the reason why they put fingerprint sensor and eventually the 64bit thing, because apple made it become trending. Also a waterproof/resistant phone because they saw that is has become a trend, thanks to Sony..

                          Anonymous, 19 Jun 2014s5 looks cheap g3 looks classy elegant no matter looks cheap or not, as long as its famous and popular, it doesnt look cheap.. its just your viewing angle of the design. everybody is different. gs5 may be look cheap, but its my opinion.

                            AnonD-207990, 20 Jun 2014The count of Samsung fanboys would outnumber the haters by ... moreI like LG's design and performance when it was G2. I admit it was very great, but im not a fanboy that time. As I thought G3 will also has IP67 and fingerprint, i was waiting for ot and actually wanna buy it. But, as the G3, in fact, has no of them, only somewhat no much difference with its QHD and FHD, then no asking somebody anymore, and im sure ill take samsung this time. LG has no big improvement from G2 to G3..

                                  to be honest, at first i was about to buy G3 beacuse of its 2K (1440p) res. But as I found it doesnt hv BIG differ against the FHD, then im taking S5..

                                    i think the camera should be tie. im no LG and Samsung fan, but this time I'll buy the S5 since its better in overall, fingerprint and waterresistant for 1M and 30m.

                                    And here's the thing I'll give you - when Samsung copies Apple, we take Samsung.
                                    When LG STARTS to copy Samsung in its UI and notification bar, no more new features, performance still a bit behind, then I TAKE SAMSUNG :P

                                    If only Steve Jobs was here... I would hv been waiting for the iP6!!

                                        That said, I would never get a device smaller than 5.5" which is why i own the SGN3.
