Design
The
new design make the LG G3 a genuine raise above the G2. One of the big essentials,
and something that was seen a number of times in the leaks leading up to the
launch was the metallic skin that now adorns the new phone.
In
view of the all-plastic unibody of the G2 was one of the main issues I had with
a phone that was Approaching close to 5 stars, the leaks showing a glittery
metal body to the G3 got me pretty thrilled.
But
then when the phone was displayed for the first time, it was a plastic casing
painted to seem like a brushed metal case. LG was almost apologetic about this,
saying it wanted to bring a metal phone that felt as best as possible, but the workings
simply didn't allow for it.
LG upgrades here, creation the power button more
rounded and the volume keys ridged, means it's even easier to operate without
looking. If you're thinking this is amazing that's a reason not to buy the
phone, then ignore it – it's in fact a really neat feature and one that I'm amazed
hasn't been copied yet.
Tthe
new design is much less drawn to fingerprints than the predecessor, but that
doesn't change the fact that those who don't want a phablet will see the G3 as
a touch too large.
Awesome Battery time
Battery
life on the LG G3 was an area I was truly attracted in inspection out, as
you'll have noted in the hands on review of the phone.
With
its 3000mAh battery, the power pack on the G3 is certainly big enough, but it
has to fire all those extra pixels, which could bound things. But then again,
it's also got the ultra-efficient Snapdragon 801 CPU that even complete an HTC
phone last through the day without give up the ghost.
Well,
let me allow you wait no longer: the battery life is great. It's not quite as
impressive as other LG phones, but given the extra power that's required as well
as other glow controls, it's a stellar effort and one that will easily see you
through a day or so of medium to hard use.
LG
has worked all its enchantment to get the power effectiveness of the G3 to the utmost
possible, and you won't see a lot of the stuff that's going on under the hood
in day to day use.
The battery
looks OK - as long as you don't watch

Camera Result:
The
camera on the LG G3 is a cute and good thing,
In spite of being largely similar in spec to the LG G2. This means the same
13MP sensor, improved optical image stabilisation (OIS+) and the same efforts
to overly-disguise noisy photos by smoothing them with software algorithms.
Turn
on the camera and you'll be greeted with just a back button and small set of
dots to indicate more features, should you want them. Simply tap the screen to
focus where you want, and the phone takes the shot rapidly.

camera super and simple, but too quality few
reduced feature:
If
you want to just get quick snaps, this is a big method (and the camera is
activated by holding the down volume button in standby form, and can be used as
a shutter button too.
The real
picture quality is pretty good, with well-lit scenes giving really clear, sharp
and well-defined snaps. In lower light the G3 is good, if not as quick at
taking snaps, though that image smoothing with no trouble goes over the peak –
like the One M8, if you're thinking of zooming in or cropping your photos, some
will
Pros ….likes
- The
screen on the LG G3, while used correctly to display high-resolution content,
is massive… LG knew that, and has been rightly making a big pact about it.
- The
overall design of the phone is greatly better too, with the faux-metal cover
not of necessity feeling great but surely looks the part when laid on a table.
- The
camera is powerful also, top to some grand snaps and not letting me down when I
required to just capture the moment here and there. The size of the phone makes
a few shots slightly harder, but overall it's a high-quality sensor to set on
there.
- I
really like the new boundary LG has created – it's sparkling, smooth and really
shows a maturity from a brand that erred far too much on the side of 'fun'
rather than making me feel like I had a phone that was admirable of a important
mass of modify every month.
- The
battery life is also really inspiring – in no doubt, it only matches the struggle,
but given it has so much more to do with the QHD screen it's a revelation in
fact.
Cons….dislikes
So
how can a phone that's enhanced in almost every area have any flaws? Well,
there are a little areas
where LG has made compromises that haven't pretty worked – and dropped the ball
in others.
- For in
case, the lag in the interface is really annoying – that beat between beginning
apps and jumping back to the home screen is frustrating.
- The
fact that it's not optimised for some apps isn't calm either – I'm not convinced
whether it's the screen (although they should scale) or some interior
jiggery-pokery… but it's a flaw, no doubt.
- The
QHD screen is also a disadvantage – I know what you're going to say, so let me give
details. Yes, it looks great in ideal situation, but a good smartphone is about
balance. There's no end having technology for the sake of it, and that's what
the QHD screen feels like right now.
- Internet
browsing, watching videos and generally using apps looks a bit better, but
nothing massive..
- I'm
all for progress, but the screen on the G3 feels like a heading spec rather
than something that enriches a grand handset.
- The
camera needs to make a lot enhanced in low light too - it's also heavy on the
smudges as the software tries to cover up a small failure to perform in the dark.
