LG G3 vs. Sony Xperia Z2: Distance to impact

07 July 2014
The premium droids are in combat mode and we are making ourselves comfortable to watch another pair fight it out for a place at the top. We’ve seen a few already, the newcomer LG G3 itself involved in a couple...

AnonD-281018, 08 Jul 2014G3 design, S5 screen, M8 metal body, Lumia 1020 camera and ... moreI agree with every thing except for iOS7 comment.

iOS is still limited in many areas, lacking options/settings, apps are heavily restricted by apple, no file explorer and you are tied at the hip with iTunes like a ball and chain... Android is still the number 1 OS for mobile power users.

Don't get me wrong, iOS is still really easy to use and great for kids, mums and grandparents. :-)

        Sony's design really looks from the '90s. Comon guys, you used to design cool stuff The tech is there but a lot of people won't buy a phone that looks like a walkman.

          I wish GSMArena would grow some balls and actually pick a winner at the end of these VS comparisons, even if it's there own opinion.

            I absolutely love the proper use of space done by LG in the G3. But i must say they overkilled it with the QHD screen, otherwise it would have taken the best phone award even with imperfections like the original htc one. Xperia is the clear winner here. I hate to say but i think Samsung again produced the beat sensable phone of the year with S5.

              G3 design, S5 screen, M8 metal body, Lumia 1020 camera and iOS 7 OS. Perfect phone

                Sony has bad screens, washed out colors. I just can't believe they still have the same issue from original Xperia Z. Z2 is a great phone, maybe too much bezels and generally to much everthing, but it is a super droid. But this screen is awful. Lg G3 is a beautiful, slick machine. Super screen, ultra thin bezels, nice camera, micro SD card, good battery life (not as good like on G2), ok UI. I would only like cell like G3 with real metal body of Htc M8. Water resistant or not, who cares, it it not like you drop it in the water twice a week

                  When you are already above the 400 ppi threshold, you don't need a higher resolution. The extra pixels just mean more work for the CPU and GPU. I would take a panel with better contrast, saturation, and sunlight legibility over one with an excessive resolution any day.

                    Korean users have spoken to Korean manufacturers through sales, the LG G3 wins over Samsung S5.

                    Why did Sony cover their phone with a fragile Gorilla Glass knockoff? Did they learn nothing from Apple?

                          Sony Xperia Z2 is better than LG G3. G3 only looks better on paper. It always comes last in benchmark tests, display shootout, etc.

                                    Nexus 4 was heating up like a cat on a hot metal roof. G2 is much cooler though, so I think G3 should be fine for me.
