LG G3

Introduction

This is LG’s flagship for this year. Well, so the question arises is this worth the money?? Well yes. It’s one beast of a phone with its Vivid Quad HD display, Solid Performance, Great Camera  and to top it all good battery life.

It offers a variety of features with the most feature being that bloatware on the device has been kept to an absolute minimum.

The Design

The LG G3 is a large phone with the screen size the same as the Galaxy Note 2 (5.5 inch) but somehow manages to feel only a little bit large and quite small when compared to the Galaxy Note 2. The slim

bezels and the tapered design have helped the LG G3 feel trim when held. For such a big phone the LG G3’s ergonomics are great. The rear power buttons and volume buttons which made their first appearance in the LG G2 are back and they are even better than before. The plastic back on the G3 comes with a thin metallic coating making the phone grippier to hold and a premium look.

The Display

As must have come to know by now that the LG G3 comes with a QUAD HD Display. That’s a resolution of 2,560×1,440, or 534 pixels per inch. The G3 is not the first phone with screen of this resolution but it’s the first from a big name manufacturer. It looks absolutely stunning and even better than the highly

praised AMOLED display on the Samsung GALAXY S5. Though while navigating menus the  Quad HD display

 

is not noticeable and looks like any other HD display. The only shortcoming is that it lacks apps and multimedia content optimised for QUAD HD displays.

The Camera

Well the main talking point other than the 13-MegaPixel sensor has been the infrared laser focus system. This has been something of a first that has been done by LG and no other device maufacturer has included it in their phones. According to LG however, it’s basically a technology they developed to theor robot vacuum cleaners from banging into the walls. Apparently the conical laser can focus the camera in a mere mindblowing 220 mili-seconds, leaving it’s main competition far behind.(The Samsung GALAXY S5 and the HTC One M8). According to LG these handsets take up to 300 mili-seconds. Practically the camera does focus and take pictures quickly. Though if no one would have told you, you most probably won’t have noticed it. As to the pictures themselves they are very impressive with only a few lighting situations such as when the sun is in the shot or at dusk that the pictures look washed out. In other lighting conditions however the camera performs pretty well especially in low light conditions.

Performance

“Simple is the new smart” has been LG’s punchline for the new LG G3. And, simple it definitely has kept things with very less bloatware going around. The main concern for the LG G3’s performance and battery life is the power hogging Quad-HD display. A very small amunt of delay is also noticed sometimes while flicking around the menus. Everything opens quickly but there is a slight lag between the menu moving and your finger.
