The repair specialists of uBreakiFix claim that the LG G3 is well suited to small repairs as it is rather easy to access all major components. The rear panel can be taken off, revealing the replaceable battery below as well as the MicroSD and micro SIM card slots. Although the rear panel is made from plastic, it does indeed look like metal - which should not come as a surprise as LG claims to have included fragments of metal into the plastic to yield a more premium appearance. There are no uneven clearances, and the G3 is highly torsion-resistant (though it does make some noise when bent) as well as pressure-resistant: Even when a lot of force is applied to the narrow bezel, no image distortions could be noted on the screen. The display covers almost the entire front of the device, leaving a good impression mainly thanks to the small bezels around it.
Due to the large display, the dimensions of the LG G3 exceed those of most of its competitors, but thanks to the ergonomically shaped rear panel (quite similar to that of the HTC One), the G3 is comfortable to hold. The LG G3 is available in the following hues: Titanium, white and gold. Only the Samsung Galaxy S5 (145 grams) and the Huawei Ascend P7 (124 grams) are even lighter (~5.3, 5.1 and 4.4 ounces respectively). The plastic also helps keep the weight down (at a mere 149 grams). We were also able to spend some time with the LG Lifeband Touch.Īlthough the LG G3 is made from plastic, it sports a beautiful chassis.

In addition, we want to take a closer look at the optional LG G Watch powered by Android Wear, one of the first smartwatches powered by the new, heavily modified Android smartwatch OS. The LG G3 is definitely in the right company here, although it does have some weaknesses, as we will show. All of these are strong contenders for the top spot, with a lot of improvements when compared to their predecessors.

Other flagships are the Nokia Lumia 930 powered by Microsoft's Windows Phone 8.1 and the Apple iPhone 5S.

Its competitors, the HTC One (M8), the Samsung Galaxy S5, the Huawei Ascend P7 and the Sony Xperia Z2 have all been available for some time, but they must make do with "just" a Full HD screen.
Our test device is the last Android flagship smartphone to reach the market in 2014. While the battery may not be larger than that of its predecessor, the LG G2, 3000 mAh is still more than what most of its competitors offer - still, the high-resolution display of the LG G3 might lead to increased power consumption and thus reduced battery life. The recent Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 may very well allow the G3 to take the top spot in terms of performance. The camera not only sports 13 megapixels, it is also supposed to come with a revolutionarily fast laser auto focus system that supposedly even works under unfavorable low-light conditions. The display is even larger than that of its competitors, measuring 5.5 inches, but its true killer feature is the enormously high resolution of 2560x1440 pixels, making the LG G3 the first smartphone with a WQHD panel. The competition did not sleep either, but the LG G3 might still offer enough superlatives to be at least on par with the other high-end smartphones.
True, the new design is much less prone 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.For the Original German review, see here. If you're going to make a phone look metallic, then it ought to have the same satisfying weight as the HTC One M9 or iPhone 6 Plus, whereas this is more like the Samsung Galaxy S5 in feel, albeit with a coat of paint and no weirdly dimpled back. The G3 certainly looks more premium, and offers the removable battery and microSD slot some people believe they simply cannot live without.īut the separate backplate means the whole thing is less tightly packaged, and I found holding it less pleasant than I did the G2. In summary, LG has both improved the design of its flagship phone and taken a couple of steps backwards. If you're thinking this is a reason not to buy the phone, then disregard it – it's actually a really neat feature and one that I'm surprised hasn't been copied yet. The principle gets burned into your muscle memory much faster than you'd expect, to the point where I keep tapping the camera on other handsets in a futile attempt to turn off the screen.Īnd LG's upgrades here (including making the power button more rounded and the volume keys ridged) mean it's even easier to operate without looking. The rear buttons get drilled into your muscle memory amazingly quickly
