LG G2

The LG G2 is the latest offering from LG, built to compete with the best selling devices out there. LG have taken an interesting risk by placing buttons on the back of the device. The power button, volume up, and volume down buttons on the back of the device force users to adjust their natural hand position. However, LG have cleverly reduced the need to reach around to the back. A quick double tap on the touchscreen will wake the device and locking and returning it to sleep can also be done from the screen. The volume buttons also double up as zoom or shutter buttons in camera mode. Another outstanding feature is the screen. The device itself is similar in size to the top of the line devices out there, but the screen has been enlarged to a beautiful 5.2-inch, 1080p IPS screen. The front of the device is almost all screen, with barely there bezels, and only minimal space at the bottom for the LG logo.

The smartphone is powered by the quad core 2.26 GHz Snapdragon 800 processor from Qualcomm with 2GB of RAM. Graphics are provided by the improved Adreno 330 graphics processor, all of which amounts to a device that can load and render the most demanding apps with ease. To top it all off, despite the vast performance under the hood, battery life is outstanding - being able to easily last a day and a half of medium to light use, which only one other device (the Moto X) out there can compete with nowadays. The LG G2 is a remarkable device that easily beats the competition in many aspects.

Cutting-edge innovator. This smartphone wants to boost itself to the forefront of our Top 10 with awesomely swift hardware and rearranged physical buttons. The LTE phone has a good chance of accomplishing that with the Snapdragon 800 and a Full HD IPS screen. However, it must first overcome a few obstacles.

The G3 has a 5.5in screen with and impressive 2560x1440 resolution. It’s hardly bigger than the G2 overall, which has a 5.2in ‘Full HD’ screen - and is actually thinner at 8.9mm versus 9.1mm

We loved - strike that - still love the LG G2, so we're pleased to find the LG G3 is a solid upgrade to the G2. It has a faster processor, an improved camera and the ability to expand the phone's internal storage with a microSDXC card, plus it beats all its rivals with a quad-HD screen and good value for money.

LG G2 vs iPhone 5s smartphone comparison review: LG G2 is a bargain, the iPhone 5s is a great phone
Source: Macworld.co.uk English Archive.org version
The LG G2 is without a doubt a great deal. If you are in the market for an Android phone we can't recommend it enough. And you would save some money buying the LG over upgrading to the most recent high-end iPhone. But we think that your smartphone is worth more than the £200 saving the LG G2 represents over the iPhone 5s. Go for Android if that is what you want, but if like us you are dyed-in-the-wool iPhone users, the premium is worth paying.

LG has trumped the competition with the G2. The phone offers a combination of value for money with high-end features which we haven't seen from rival flagship devices. A great specification combined with impressive design and handy software features mean there's very little to dislike about this handset - only really the lack of a microSD card slot.

The LG G2 is an extremely impressive handset in many ways. The screen is superb, the phone feels compact despite its large display, and its camera and battery life are astounding. We’re not keen on the rear-mounted buttons, but like LG's software modifications. The only thing keeping it from an award is the lack of a microSD card slot - not a problem if you don’t load your phone with films and games, but not having expandable storage will be a deal-breaker for some.

LG’s G2: The phondleslab that wants you to TOUCH ITS BEHIND
Source: Reg Hardware English Archive.org version
If you can live with the fixed battery and equally fixed storage, the G2 is a rather impressive bag of tricks. It’s surprisingly small and svelte for something with a 5.2-inch screen and that screen is a very good example of the breed. The battery is usefully larger – to the tune of 400mAh – than that fitted to the Galaxy S4, and the camera is one of the best fitted to any Android smartphone. The stand-out feature, though, are those rear-mounted controls, which really do make this large handset much easier to use.

The G2 is LG's attempt to dethrone the Galaxy S4, or at least produce a handset that rivals it in every meaningful way. The company has definitely accomplished that goal. The G2 is tremendously powerful, has a battery that can easily last a full day even with extensive use, offers a brilliant new position for the power and volume rocker switches, and touts one of the nicest mobile displays we've ever seen.

The 16GB version of the G2 is priced at Rs 41,500 while the 32GB sits at Rs 44,500. Of course, you can find them for cheaper online which makes the G2 one of the most value for money flagships in the market. The lack of expandable storage is possibly the only major downside to this phone but if you make your peace with it, the G2 has all the bases covered. It’s very well built, blazing fast, has a gorgeous screen, has more gestures and features than you’ll ever need and very good battery life. Between this and the Sony Xperia Z1, I’d pick the G2.

LG has truly surprised us. The G2 is undoubtedly worthy of the flagship tag. A gorgeous display that leaves the rivals far behind, form factor that makes all other 5-inch smartphones feel some bit of shame, camera that does very well in low light conditions and the big battery will last you almost two days on a single charge. Perhaps, the only niggle is the weird power and volume key placement, but that isn't something you cannot get used to.

That’s largely educated guesswork, though, and in the here and now there’s one quite incredible thing that we know for sure - the LG G2 is the best smartphone in the world right now.

90% LG G2 Review
Source: Ubergizmo English English Archive.org version
If I had to boil it down, I would say that the LG G2 is excellent where it matters: super-responsive, amazing display, excellent battery life and very high photo quality. To me, these are the most important aspects of a smartphone, and the LG G2 hits a home run on everything that really matters. Beyond that, it is up to you to decide if the industrial design, graphic design, web services or carrier availability will work for you. If you end up choosing it, you would have made a damn fine choice.

85% Review LG G Pro Lite Dual D686 Smartphone | Notebookcheck
Slimming mania. The review sample's big brother completely convinced us in the editorial office. Users who were looking forward to a comparable version with a dual-SIM feature will, however, be disappointed. The South Korean manufacturer has slimmed down the tech specs to such an extent that neither smartphone has much in common apart from the screen size and name.
50% LG G Pro Lite Review
Source: Tech2.in.com English Archive.org version
The LG G Pro Lite is priced at Rs 22,990, however you can find it online for under Rs 20,000. At this price, the Sony Xperia C or even the Samsung Galaxy Grand make a much better buy than the G Pro Lite. The reason for this is that LG went overboard with the reductions, leaving us with a very underpowered and dated handset. The phone only scores well in terms of battery life and decent camera performance but falls flat in practically every other department. There’s no ambient light sensor, very low resolution display considering panel size, no NFC or GLONASS, an out-dated processor, limited functionality with LG apps and the list goes on. We recommed giving this phone a pass even after a price drop as you’re better off with offerings from Sony and Samsung in this range.

The Optimus G Pro Lite is a pretty okay device and that "pretty okay" is not sufficient for me to recommend it over other phones such as the more expensive Nexus 4 or the much less expensive Xolo Q1000S, or the Nokia Lumia 720, for those not shackled to place by Android.

LG G Flex

The first thing anyone would notice about the LG G Flex is the arc that runs from the top of the device to the bottom. It would be easy to think of this feature as a gimmick, but the design is intended to create a more immersive experience for media consumption, improve ergonomics and improve screen visibility under sunlight. Oddly enough the LG G Flex was built to withstand attempts to flatten out the curve. It's been reported that it can survive up to 88 pounds of pressure. For a device that will constantly be thrown in bags or sat on while in back pockets, this speaks well to its durability.

For those who despair at the need for additional casings and protective wrappings for their tech, LG have attempted to make the back of the case "self healing", a concept that is taken from the automotive industry. Light scratches will "heal" themselves when hydrogen in the coating swell up to undo damage. This is not meant to withstand serious stabs and slashes with sharp implements, but having this unprotected device rattling around in a bag with loose change and keys should do it no harm. With all these unique features to list, it's still impressive when it comes down to a bare bones comparison of specs with the powerful Snapdragon 800 processor and a battery that can match the best out there, but unfortunately, the screen leaves something to be desired. The 6 inch, 720p OLED display is bound to be lackluster in comparison to current devices. Overall the LG G Flex seems great, if the screen isn't a deal breaker.

Curved thing. The display of LG's first smartphone with a curved screen is certainly an eye-catcher, but just this key feature turns out to be the problem. The other features are on one level with the high-end competition: A fast Snapdragon 800, 32 GB storage and an Ultra HD camera as well as the self-healing case create an interesting package nonetheless.

This is LG’s best smartphone to date, and is a serious contender among the top tier of the market. Street prices vary enormously, from around $600 to over $1000, and if you can pick one up at a decent price you aren’t likely to be disappointed with it.

65% LG G Flex review: LG’s ‘curveball’ is a unique Android experience at a great cost
Source: Tech2.in.com English Archive.org version
Living on the cutting edge of technology doesn’t come cheap, especially if that technology is still in its nascent stages. The G Flex will cost you Rs 70,000 a pop and that’s a lot of money for a smartphone. As a ‘phablet’, the G Flex is easily amongst the best there is. It’s built very well and looks absolutely stunning, second to the Nokia Lumia 1520. And it’s not like LG compromised on the hardware as well since it’s every bit as powerful as the G2.

70% LG G Flex review: A peek into the future
Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
Even for early adopters the price is prohibitively expensive. The argument is that you're is paying for exclusivity - but it still seems as though you're not getting enough of it to justify the price premium over other phones with similar specifications. The futuristic feeling alone won't be worth that much money to a lot of buyers. If you have the money and want to splurge, then by all means, go ahead and check out the G Flex. We, personally, would rather open a fixed deposit account or take a luxury vacation.

The G Flex has some good elements but the bottom line is that the device itself is too big and the curved screen, aside from being just 720p, doesn't bring any real benefit. We award three and a haf stars.

The LG G Flex has some decent hardware including a great camera and more storage than usual. Excellent software is also a lure but its main feature, the curved screen, is too big, only 720p and offers no real benefits. This phablet is too gimmicky so you're much better off saving some money and going for LG's proper phone, the G2.

50% Review: LG G Flex
Source: Techtree.com English Archive.org version
The LG G Flex's closest rival Samsung's GALAXY Round comes with a horizontally curved screen. It lacks the self-healing tech and flexibility that's there on the G Flex. ore importantly, it's only available in Korea. However, just because there's no direct competition to G Flex doesn't mean that it's a good phone. We don't deny the fact that creating a flexible phone is an engineering achievement. But then, for consumers there's not even a single logical reason to buy this expensive handset. Those who prefer large screen phones should consider the GALAXY Note 2 and Nokia Lumia 1520.

70% LG G Flex review: Interesting design, shame about the price
Source: Zdnet.com English Archive.org version
There's more to this phablet than its curved chassis, although the moderate screen resolution and lack of storage expansion are disappointing. On the plus side, battery life is good and LG's Android tweaks are largely successful. Overall though, the G Flex is simply way too expensive.

LG G Flex Review
Source: Androidbeat English Archive.org version
The G Flex is just an LG G2 with a 6-inch P-OLED screen. Unless you really want a phone that flexes and has a curved display, there really isn’t a lot of benefit in buying the phone especially at its current retail price. However, LG should be duly credited for innovating with their form factor and materials. The G Flex might not make much sense right now, especially with the LG G2 around, but its innovations will surely start to trickle through more devices and soon rule the smartphone industry in the coming decade.

There’s no doubt the LG G Flex is a unique smartphone. Not only does it have one of the largest displays on the market, but this phablet also has a curved form that really sets it apart. Overall, we were surprised at how comfortable the G Flex felt in the hand. And for a device that has such a large footprint, it didn’t feel any heavier than an average smartphone.

This biggest issue I have with the LG G Flex is the fact that it's impossible to recommend. A sky high price tag means the LG G Flex is immediately out of many people's price range and while the "flexible" nature of the phone is certainly interesting, in it's current form it's little more than a gimmick.

Finally, while I find the curved design to be very aesthetic and pleasing in general, I wouldn’t say that it makes a big difference in ergonomic terms, unless you have the G Flex in your back pocket, in which case it does matter. While it’s a great phone, and I’m happy to give it an 8/10 score for those who like big phones, I think that LG can improve the “plastic” feel a little by using a slightly different plastic. I would like to see a better camera as well, something like the LG G2 or better. Then it would get that much closer to perfection.

So many of the phones we review are exercises in dull, rote iteration that it feels a shame not to be able to give the LG G Flex a commendation. However, its screen issues, high price and interface issues mean we can’t. It isn’t harder to use than any other 6-inch phone, but such a large body is problematic too. The LG G2 costs half the price, and is in several respects the superior phone. LG deserves a pat on the back for having the stones to bring as unusual phone as this to market. But seriously consider the HTC One or the LG G2 unless having a huge, curvy screen is really what your heart wants most.

LG G Flex Review: trouble with the curve (AT&T)
Source: Mobileburn English Archive.org version
The LG G Flex is the phone you never knew you wanted. It's probably the phone you still don't want unless you're willing be adventurous. The large size and curved display make for some awkward encounters. That might be enough to scare most people away, especially when they learn that the G Flex isn't actually flexible. It can withstand pressure better than most, but it can only survive light bending. Don't put this in a back pocket and think it's impervious to body weight creating problems. I'd only recommend the LG G Flex to a very specific type of person. That person must love the idea of trying something new and not being immediately turned off by an out of character device. He or she must love the extra-large smartphone segment and not be picky about a resolution that doesn't take full advantage of that size. The camera is decent, the battery life is fantastic, and the unique form factor might provide some subtle benefits. The G Flex is a strange device and not one that most people will readily embrace. If you're willing to bend a little and try something new, the LG G Flex awaits.

Baby's got the bends: LG's D958 G Flex Android smartie
Source: Reg Hardware English Archive.org version
Other pluses are unusually large battery capacity and a feature-laden incarnation of Android that’s not as ugly or intrusive as Samsung’s alternative. This combination of features delivers what I reckon to be the best large mobile/phondleslab/phablet on the market. The self-repairing plastic casing seems less of a must-have feature even though it seems to work. Personally, I'd have thought a metal finish would look and feel more appropriate, especially given the price tag.

LG G Flex Review
Source: Droid-Life English Archive.org version
The G Flex is a good phone, but not one I would want to have for two years on contract. The display can be a real eye sore, the price is too high, the camera leaves a lot to be desired, and the software is old and dated. As an Android lover who is constantly looking for the perfect experience, this just isn’t it. With Samsung launching the Galaxy S5, HTC launching the successor to the One, and a possible successor to the G2 coming from LG, the G Flex is just too little, too late. The phone does have upsides though, with its self-healing back (I never got to test it since I don’t drop my phones), good performance, and gorgeous looks, but with a full lineup of devices coming in 2014 that are supposed to be awesome, this phone just can’t keep up with the hype.

70% AT&T LG G Flex review: Interesting display tech and excellent battery life
Source: Zdnet.com English Archive.org version
LG has greatly improved their smartphone devices and I look forward to what else they launch in 2014. The G Flex seems to be a technology test device with the unique display design and back material, but there are outdated specs (low resolution display, older camera technology, and an older OS on a device that is priced higher than most others on the market. I could understand if the G Flex was launched as an unlocked device, similar to what Sony has been doing for most of their Xperia line, or on a single carrier like AT&T or T-Mobile to show off their curved display. However, it is definitely not worth launching on three major carriers and I doubt it will sell to many consumers as we get into the new devices of 2014 launching in the next few months.

LG G Flex deep-dive review: The curious case of the curved phone
Source: Computerworld.com English Archive.org version
Back to my original question: Does "different" automatically mean "better"? In the case of the G Flex, the answer turns out to be no. The phone's curved and flexible body is a noteworthy feat of engineering but not terribly meaningful in terms of actual real-world value, especially when coupled with the phone's dismal display. The G Flex does offer excellent performance and outstanding battery life, but with all of the caveats that accompany those traits -- and all of the more well rounded smartphones available within the same price range -- it's difficult to recommend this device as a sensible purchase for most people.

LG G Flex AT&T Review
Source: Slashgear English Archive.org version
While we're not entirely convinced this device really needs a curve, the rest of the device is fine enough to be worth the cash it costs. We'd certainly rather have a 1080p display as long as we're working with 6-inches of screen, but as it is with all modern devices, if you've never had 1080p in your hand before, you might never notice the difference. Again we'd like to encourage you to go into the store to see about the display, especially because of the speckle effect mentioned above, but also to see if the curve is worth your time. In the end, we'd rather have the LG G2 over this device, with the only discernible positives here over that hero device being in the holding of the machine - it truly feels like you've got something special in your hands when you hold the LG G Flex horizontally, playing a high-quality video for yourself.

LG G Flex Review
Source: Androidcommunity.com English Archive.org version
If LG was trying to re-imagine the form factor of a smartphone, they’ve done as much. I don’t think we can consider the current G Flex successful, though. The screen is lacking punch, and the curvature didn’t seem to fit anywhere in life comfortably. On a flat surface, it’s announcing its curve. In a pocket, it’s bulkier than we want. In the front pocket of a laptop sleeve? Same thing. Comfy to hold, but it creates more negative space when not in use than a normal phone would. If it had a more pixel-dense screen and a more subtle curve, we’d probably like this one quite a bit. We still like it, but more because it’s novel, not because it’s a great smartphone. With a second iteration, this could be one you’re seeking out more for its utility than its curiosity.

Could curved smartphones be the future or are they just a gimmick? We were certainly impressed with the G Flex at first glance - it's much easier to see the advantage of the curved shape once you've actually got the phone in your hands, which is presumably why the maker is previewing the phone in selected EE shops before it's available to buy. With Samsung also set to introduce a curved handset - could this be the future of the smartphone? We'll just have to wait and see. Stay tuned for a full review.

There’s a lot about the G Flex that’s brilliant, from the searing performance to the massive battery life and unusual, bottom-hugging styling. But that only makes the disappointments even more frustrating. Clearly it’s no dud, but neither is it revolutionary, particularly as there’s little genuine benefit to the curved design. It proves it can be done, though, and that opens the door to hopefully far more interesting and useful designs in the future. Give us back our Full HD, OIS and make it genuinely flexible, and we’ll be right at the front of the queue for the next Flex.

If you want an ultra large smartphone, you may want to consider giving the LG G Flex a look. I was most impressed with the performance and battery life, which I've mentioned countless times now, but that's really what sets smartphones apart now. You can have a brilliant display, great design and all, but if either performance or battery life are lacking, it's just not as appealing. At least the G Flex nails those last two.

I was most impressed with the performance and battery life, which I've mentioned countless times now, but that's really what sets smartphones apart now. You can have a brilliant display, great design and all, but if either performance or battery life are lacking, it's just not as appealing. At least the G Flex nails those last two.

With its curved design, flexible chassis and self-healing rear panel, the LG G Flex feels like the future of smartphones today. We also love the fast Snapdragon 800 processor and LG's new Dual Window multitasking feature, even if it copies Samsung's Multi Window software. The feature-rich and sharp 13-MP camera is yet another plus, delivering slightly better image quality than the Galaxy Note 3.

a promising phone, but not one you should buy right now

It's not too often we get to review a product with a completely new form factor, but we relish the opportunity when we do. The LG G Flex is a good phone, but there is no way in h-e-double-hockey sticks that we'd recommend that you go out and purchase a handset that costs more than $900 unless it also gives massages and does the dishes.

LG Optimus G Pro 2

LG may be a rather new name in the phone industry but that doesn't mean it can't compete with the big names. The LG Optimus G Pro 2 targets phablet users and is gaining quite a bit of attention.

The LG Optimus G Pro 2 comes with a 5.9 inch display with a resolution of 1080 by 1920 pixels. The True IPS LCD screen has great colors, viewing angles and contrast giving users an enjoyable experience when watching movies and videos. The device runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon quad core processor with clock rate of 2.26 GHz. It also comes with 3 GB of RAM to give users a very smooth and seamless performance. Furthermore, it features 16 GB or 32 GB internal memory, which can be boosted up with an external microSD card.

However, the worst selling point for the LG Optimus G Pro 2 is probably its design. The sharp edges can be quite uncomfortable as the big size will not fit comfortably in one hand. Furthermore, the tap to unlock feature sounds great on paper but doesn't work quite well in reality due to responsiveness issues. In short, the LG Optimus G Pro 2 is a great phone with good specifications but lacks an elite look. Users who aren't so concerned about looks should consider this phablet.

81% An impressive large-screen Android smartphone from LG
Source: Digital Trends English Archive.org version
The LG G Pro 2 is a very good option for anyone looking to buy a large screen high-end/premium Android phone. The G Pro 2 offers a good feature set, impressive performance and a very aggresive price tag. Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has some serious competition and Note 3 aspirers should give the G Pro 2 a hard look before deciding on which large screen Android smartphone to buy.

70% LG G Pro 2 Review: Still Playing Second Fiddle
Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
Frankly, we are baffled beyond wits here. LG's official price for the G Pro 2 is Rs. 51,500, which is super steep. However, a stroll through the major e-commerce websites reveals discounted prices ranging from approximately Rs.35,600 to Rs. 48,500. The G Pro 2 is an absolute steal if we consider the low end of that price range, but there's no telling how long it will be available so cheap. Without considering such a steep discount, the G Pro 2 goes right up against the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, which comes with an S-Pen stylus but lacks 4K video recording. All said and done, the G Pro 2 is definitely a good alternative, but it just falls short of being our first choice.

70% LG G Pro 2 review: High price, lack of LTE make it hard to recommend
Source: Tech2.in.com English Archive.org version
The LG G Pro 2 is available online for Rs 45,500, which we feel is a bit expensive considering you can find more powerful and feature rich phone for less. LTE support would have been a defining feature but that’s missing and everything else we’ve already seen before on the G2, only this time, it’s on a larger scale. As far as phablets go, the G Pro 2 is easily amongst the best in the biz even though the size will be a deterrent for many. With the G3 coming up, we expect it to get a healthy price reduction as well.

LG G Pro 2 Review: The new interim king of phablets?
Source: Androidbeat English Archive.org version
The G Pro 2 is the only real challenger to Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3. It might not be the best, especially with its dated UI and lack of an S-Pen alternative, but it can definitely hold its own against the latter. However, the G Pro 2 comes six months after the Note 3 was released, which is a long time in the smartphone industry. So, should you buy the G Pro 2 over the Note 3? Yes, if you don’t mind LG’s slow update schedule and the lack of any S-Pen alternative on the handset.

The brilliance of the LG G2 took everyone by surprise, but now the company's achieved it once, expectations for every one of the companies future phones have risen dramatically. But the battery life is a problem. We weren't necessarily expecting the sort of power-sipping that the G2 demonstrated, but we were expecting (and always expect) a full day of moderate use. The G Pro 2 can't manage that, and that leaves the Galaxy Note 3 safe in its position as best phablet in the world - at least for now.

With G Pro 2 Phablet, LG Knocks on Samsung’s Door
Source: Recode English Archive.org version
Compared to its predecessor, the G Pro 2 features a faster quad-core processor from Qualcomm and a larger battery. The smartphone performed smoothly, without any crippling lags or crashes. I didn’t run a formal battery test, but with moderate to heavy usage, I was able to go about a day and a half before needing to recharge the phone. LG has made some nice improvements to the G Pro 2 to make it a better smartphone. With competitive pricing, it can be a nice alternative to the Galaxy Note 3.

LG G Pro 2 review
Source: Androidcommunity.com English Archive.org version
Bottom line here, the LG G Pro 2 appears to be an all around solid performer and it held up well in our day to day use. The display was solid, and battery life proved nothing to worry about. Not to mention the overall build quality -- which was more than acceptable. We also especially liked the camera, and the camera options. Plus, in a world where many Android users are looking to get a clean and stock experience, we are more than willing to ditch the stock experience in favor of the perks offered by LG. We still need some more details in terms of a US release. Namely, a date, some pricing and carrier specifics. But if nothing else, we do feel the LG G Pro 2 should be a handset to consider once it comes available.

LG G Pro 2 new year, new Note contender
Source: Engadget English Archive.org version
The large-screen smartphone market is now one of the most fiercely competitive in the wireless industry. But even though nearly every phone maker has produced a competitor to the Samsung Galaxy Note, only a handful of products have actually been worth considering. With a solid construction, good battery life and plenty of firepower, the G Pro 2 is a contender for the best large-screen phone on the market.

LG G Pro 2 Review
Source: Slashgear English Archive.org version
LG has taken a great device in the LG G2 and has blown it up to a much larger size in the LG G Pro 2. Again, this isn’t so much a follow-up to last year’s LG G Pro, but a compliment to the LG G2 instead. Working with one of the finest processors on the market and a display that’s both sharp and bright in essentially any environment, there’s little to dislike about this handset.

The LG G Pro 2 is LG’s top product in the large-display phone category, and it comes with LG’s latest refinements in terms of camera and user-interface. Overall, it can be considered as a larger version of the excellent G2 smartphone If you are looking to get a large phone, this is a device that we warmly recommend considering. But while the original G Pro was clearly advantaged by its newer hardware when compared to the Galaxy Note 2, the G Pro 2 is running neck to neck with the Galaxy Note 3 instead, so the choice isn’t as obvious.

LG G3

LG's next flagship phone, the LG G3 sports a bigger display, 5.5 inch to be exact. And it's a Quad HD screen, a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels or 534 pixels per inch. The QHD display is definitely the major headliner for the G3. High resolution videos and images are sure to look great, colors are sharp and blacks are dark. Viewing angles are solid but not as good as an IPS display. It's only good if you have content to fully utilise it like videos and images but you might not notice much with normal everyday use.

It sports a 2.5 GHz Snapdragon 801 processor, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage (you can get a lower variant with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage). You can't get any better specs than this. While having a large QHD display was a concern for its battery life, the 3000 mAh removable cell can give you roughly a full day’s worth of mixed use.

On the back, you will find a 13 MP camera with infrared laser focus system. It's claimed that the laser is able to focus the camera in just 220 ms, other flagships take about 300 ms. On the front is a 2.1 MP camera. The LG G3 is a workhorse of a phone and is definitely one of the best you can buy right now with its amazing specs and large QHD display.

Hot potato. The LG G3 has received much acclaim and we cannot deny that we looked forward to the first smartphone with a WQHD display. Still, although LG does a lot right, some technical problems with the screen, average battery runtimes and especially heat dissipation issues prevent it from taking the top spot among high-end smartphones. The G Watch is an interesting gadget.

The whopping big phablet from the makers of the Nexus 5. The LG G3 is a good phablet, but its super high-resolution screen isn't a huge benefit and other large Android phones are even better. The Sony Xperia Z2, for example, is waterproof, has a better camera and longer battery life too.

LG G4 vs LG G3: LG’s flagships compared
Source: Android Authority English Archive.org version
Though the G3 is increasingly becoming available for lower prices, you will be buying a year-old phone. Although many don’t feel comfortable spending their hard-earned cash on a smartphone that was released in 2014, software updates have been doing a good job at keeping the phone from feeling like a fossil. The G3 is still a great value considering its lower price point, solid camera and speedy performance. However, the G4 has proven itself worthy in this year’s crop of flagships, and offers enough improvements across the board that make it worth the extra dough. The camera is more powerful and robust than ever, the user experience is as smooth as it should be at this point in the game, and the signature LG style continues to impress.

With a much nicer design, a smaller but superior display, faster hardware, a better camera, and lightning-quick charging, the Samsung Galaxy S6 is a genuine superphone that's a worthy upgrade over the LG G3. It is also quite the challenge for LG, whose upcoming LG G4 will have to face a formidable adversary. However, the LG G3 remains more attractive from a price-oriented perspective. Being a year old and nicely discounted, it is one of the cheapest Quad-HD resolution smartphones you can buy new and unlocked. It's also a very nice smartphone overall, and while its looks and performance, admittedly, can't hold a candle to Samsung's latest and greatest, this doesn't make it anything less than a bargain!

The LG G Flex 2 has launched in Korea, and will be available for pre-order on February 27th in Singapore. AT&T, Sprint and US Cellular have announced their plans to eventually carry the device sometime in the spring, though no exact date has been given. It will also launch on Vodafone in the UK, and will make its way to Australia, though there’s no timeframe for its availability. The phone has been rumored to launch at around €599.99 off-contract (~$600 US), but we’ll need to wait and see the exact price when the launch date gets closer.

The LG G3 is a really quite impressive device and I’ve enjoyed using it. It has one or two odd little quirks which hamper the experience a bit – for me these have been relatively minor gripes which I’ve been able to cope with, but I can imagine them being more irritating for some users.

The LG G3 is a really quite impressive device and I’ve enjoyed using it. It has one or two odd little quirks which hamper the experience a bit – for me these have been relatively minor gripes which I’ve been able to cope with, but I can imagine them being more irritating for some users.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs LG G3 comparison review: Double the price isn't worth it
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
At glance, things are pretty similar on software as both have Android 4.4 KitKat and each will be upgraded to Android 5.0 Lollipop. Although they run the same version of Android, they use their own user interfaces, or skins which make them very different.

We haven't seen the Nexus 6 yet but it our first impression is that it's not worth the extra money compared to the LG G3 which is now insanely cheap since much of the specs are closely matched. Keep an eye out for our full Nexus 6 review soon to see what we make of it.

Samsung Galaxy Note Edge vs LG G3
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
There you have it, almost all of the bad and the good concerning the first QHD monster that broke cover, the LG G3, and the ingenious and unorthodox S Pen-flaunting Samsung Galaxy Note Edge phablet. With its plastic/metal build and intriguing Edge display, S Pen stylus, and Snapdragon 805 in store, the Galaxy Note Edge will probably appeal to those who want to possess the latest and greatest available on the market. On the other hand, the LG G3 is a more “traditional” device, which employs a relatively compact form factor (considering the screen size), powerful hardware, and a set of features, such as Knock On/Knock Code, which make the device rather user-friendly.

90% LG G3 review: Still the best smartphone of 2014

LG has impressed us with the G3 which comes in at under £500 but packs amazing features including that Quad HD and a camera with a laser auto focus. The device is surprisingly small considering the 5.5in display and we like the more premium design. It's another winner from LG.

Coming to the end of the head to head it has been a close fought battle, with the iPhone 6 and G3 both winning three rounds and the Galaxy S5 two. However, as enterprise and business reviewers for us here at V3 the iPhone 6's advanced security features and more robust future-proof potential to receive iOS upgrades make it the safer choice for corporate users and win it this versus review.

LG G3 is an elegant yet powerful smartphone that will essentially be a great companion for business and consumer segment alike. For its ergonomics the G3 falls well under the phablet category then a big smartphone. The G3 is packed with features, sports a refined design (though plastic body) and top-of-the-industry hardware specs. Having said that, all these does come with a heavy price tag. The G3 comes in two variants 16GB with 2 GB RAM (featured here) and 32GB with 3 GB RAM, priced at $625 (AED 2299) and $680 (AED 2499) respectively. In terms of color G3 comes in five choices – Metallic Black, Silk White, Shine Gold, Moon Violet and Burgundy Red. If you are looking for a big all-in-one smartphone then LG G3 should certainly put a full-stop on your hunt.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs LG G3
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
As much as we like the LG G3, we have to admit that the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is the better phone, at least for the most part. It isn't leading by a mile, but overall, we find it a step ahead of LG's flagship in almost every major aspect – from design and display quality to hardware and camera performance. Made of metal, curved glass, and textured plastic, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a sophisticated phone with lots of character. Simply put, it is an eye-catching phone. The G3 is not a bad-looking phone by any means, and its metallic design also does a good job at drawing attention. Besides, the G3 is slightly smaller and fits better in the palm.

On paper, the G3 looks like it’s capable of landing some knockout blows on its premium smartphone rivals. In reality, however, the pixel-packed screen is of no practical benefit, and LG has had to compromise brightness and battery life as a result. The LG G3 remains a good handset, but, with rivals delivering a more balanced performance for similar money, this isn’t the Android giant-killer we’ve been waiting for.

iPhone 6 vs LG G3 comparison: the best smartphone of 2014... but which one?
Source: Macworld.co.uk English Archive.org version
When value is taken into consideration the LG G3 is the best handset on the market right now. It matches or bests the iPhone 6 in all quantifiable metrics. Ultimately the decision is based on two subjective things: build quality and design, and the Android platform vs the iOS ecosystem. If you are an iPhone user and you like iOS and iTunes, it seems unlikely that the saving of a few quid would make you switch sides to the LG. But if you did it is unlikely you would be disappointed.

Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
Picking between the iPhone 6 Plus and the LG G3 may feel like an overwhelming task – after all, the two trade blows left and right. With Apple's first phablet, you're getting a more stylish, but much bulkier device, with a less-detailed screen that is nevertheless perfectly fine. The 6 Plus is also a considerably better performer in day-to-day tasks and apps execution, and its camera is, on the whole, a notch better than what LG has going on.

With all things said, which one should you pick: the new iPhone 6, or the LG G3? Both are great flagship devices, but if price is your main concern than the LG G3 definitely has the upper hand: its prices range from free to $50 on a two-year contract, or $490 when you buy unlocked. The iPhone 6 on the other hand starts at $199 on a 2-year contract, or $649 when you get it off-contract (the T-Mobile version is also unlocked and free to use internationally).

I've spent a good bit of time with most of the notable devices in the last year, and I think the G3 is my favorite so far. It has a great design, the camera is stellar, performance is great, and the Android skin isn't obnoxious. Some of LG's additions, like Knock On, are extremely useful and well thought out.

Testing: Pros and Cons of the LG G3's 2560x1440 Screen
Source: Tested English Archive.org version
So what's the verdict? The G3 screen is very good overall. It does seem sharper in some places and the brightness is reasonable. I find that my eyes are somewhat adjusted to the small details you can pick up on a QHD screen--it's not a dramatic difference, but it's there. The battery life, while not amazing, is actually pretty good considering the jump in resolution. There are a few annoying issues right now, but LG's push toward software control of the panel should allow it to alter the display characteristics with updates more dramatically than in the past.

Still, all the core features and highlights of this phone are present: the display is simply fantastic, despite claims of low brightness and low saturation and contrast; the battery life is impressive; all the specifications are top-notch; and LG’s software is, dare I say, a pleasure to use. So is it worth it? Totally. If you’re after the best phone money can buy, the LG G3 should be among your top picks on AT&T’s network.

90% Super screen, metallic skin - has LG leapt to the top of the pile?
Source: Techradar English Archive.org version
The LG G3 is a great smartphone – like its predecessor, if you're after power and precision, perhaps over design and form, then this is a winner. The camera and battery combo is sure to win some hearts, and the improved user interface both will attract new users and give relief to those that were put off by the clutter on the G2. However, I think something was lost in design in making the backplate removable – I feel that unibody designs just feel better in the hand thanks to being more solid, and I miss that from the G2.

LG G3 deep-dive review: A phone with great specs, but real-world issues
Source: Computerworld.com English Archive.org version
The G3 boasts no shortage of compelling qualities. The device has a big, beautiful display in a sleek and nicely designed body. It has decent battery life, expandable storage and some genuinely useful features like a tap-to-wake option and limited-use guest mode. At the same time, however, the phone's software is bloated and convoluted -- and while you can hide or disable many of the UI-related sins, the out-of-the-box experience leaves something to be desired. Equally important, that overly ambitious foundation is likely to blame for choppy performance throughout the system.

At Rs 47,990, the LG G3 is a good pick as far as flagship Androids go. It has a rock-solid feature set backed up by very good design and build quality which makes it highly recommendable. The 2K display is not going to change your life to be honest and truth be told, we wouldn’t have minded the G2’s display as well, which was quite brilliant to begin with. The reason we recommend the G3 over the others is for the camera, 4G that (will) work in India and premium look and feel.

It definitely stands out against the current crop of flagship phones, and it isn't outrageously expensive either - the 16GB/2GB version has launched at Rs. 47,990 and the 32GB/3GB version at Rs. 50,990. If you're looking for an extra-large phone, it doesn't get a lot better than this. That said, you have to be willing to get used to the buttons on the rear - this is probably our biggest concern about being able to live with the G3.

LG G3 review: the phone every Android OEM should make
Source: Androidcommunity.com English Archive.org version
Of all the flagship devices we’ve checked out over the years, this one is the first to actually leave us wanting for nothing. Smartly designed with an elegant software layer, the G3 is as close to perfect as any Android handset is. While we’d naturally make changes — as we would with any phone — the G3 wins on many more levels than those which we’re left considering changes we’d like to make.

There’s a lot to like about what LG has achieved with the G3, building upon the strong foundation laid by the G2. I really like the low-bezel design of the device, which allows a 5.5-inch display to fit into a chassis only millimetres larger than its direct competitors. The curved back makes the G3 ergonomic to hold, and the back buttons are less of an issue than they may seem to present.

LG G3 vs Note 3 head-to-head review
Source: V3.co.uk English Archive.org version
Winning five rounds to the Galaxy Note 3's two, the LG G3 is the overall winner. Featuring a more intelligent design, crisper screen and significantly better camera, the LG G3 is one of the finest Android smartphones currently available. However, with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 over halfway through its product lifecycle this really isn't all that surprising. LG's real competition is yet to arrive and things could well change with the launch of Samsung's fabled 2014 phablet, the Galaxy Note 4.

95% AT&T LG G3 review: Everything you want in a smartphone with the best display ever
Source: Zdnet.com English Archive.org version
Last month LG sent out early Korean LG G3 devices for people to test out. I wrote my first impressions, but without carrier support I couldn't write a review since the experience was too limited. I have now spent a week with the AT&T LG G3 and am very impressed by this latest offering. We seem to always ask for more on our high end smartphones, but LG brings it all with the G3 so there is really nothing preventing me from visiting my carrier store this weekend.

LG G3 Review
Source: Droid-Life English Archive.org version
Its camera is as good if not better than other flagship phones from competitors. Battery life will surprise you, even with its Quad HD display. The size isn’t going to bother most of you, and that’s coming from the guy who hates massive phones. The display is something you can brag about to friends, just remember that Samsung’s AMOLED tops it in many ways. LG’s skin isn’t terrible. You have next-gen specs that will last the life of a contract, easily. There are a number of useful software add-ons to make you a multi-tasking pro, but won’t get in your way if you want a minimal experience. You can add an insane amount of external storage to it if needed or carry replacement batteries around if you are a power user.

Review: LG G3
Source: Gizmag English Archive.org version
LG’s new flagship has a lot going for it. Its quad HD display is undoubtedly its killer feature, and it’s all the more impressive when you consider that the device is only a little wider than HTC’s latest. I did feel that, aside from its tiny bezels and button-less sides, the design of the G3 is a little ... safe. It doesn't have the cold, hard touch of a premium aluminium build and it’s not quite as thin as some devices. That said, it certainly doesn't feel cheap, and once again, only really shows in direct comparison.

With the G3, it's clear that LG is trying to step out of Samsung's shadow, and to a degree it does. The G3's design is sexier, and its interface is a big step up from previous iterations. We also really like the sharp and fast 13-MP laser focus camera and Smart Keyboard feature. Unfortunately, the G3 falls short in both the display and battery life departments, two areas where this phone is supposed to shine.

You will or won't buy the LG G3 for its screen. The Samsung Galaxy S5 has comparable performance in a slightly smaller form factor, with a brighter, more emphatic AMOLED screen and better Wi-Fi performance. But nothing is like the LG G3's 538-ppi screen. Can you appreciate that level of sharpness? I can't, and the darn phone won't fit in my hand, either. But lots of other people can. Maybe you're one of them.

LG G3 vs HTC One M8 head-to-head review

With the G3 having won four rounds to the One M8's three, the LG handset is the winner of this versus review. Featuring a superb display, good security features, a lightning-fast camera and being slightly cheaper than the One M8, the G3 is currently one of the best Android smartphones currently available. But with the One M8 offering a more lightly skinned version of Android, better battery life and slightly more consistent performance, there is still plenty to like about the HTC phone. Those unconcerned about the G3's security upgrades would still do well to check it out.

It looks like LG did it right, to find themselves perched at the top in terms of screen resolution. Then again, Sony of course will tell you that a QHD screen can't buy you love.

Without question, the G3 has been the most interesting smartphone to learn about this year. With a 1440p display, laser autofocus, and all sorts of new power saving methods, there was a great deal to learn about. However, just because a device has a novel design doesn’t mean that it’s a good phone. On the other hand, a novel design makes a good phone that much better.

LG G3 review

Overall the LG G3 strikes a balance between smartphone and phablet, which means it might be too big for some. To us it feels more like a smartphone because of good design, but with the big screen advantages of a phablet. It's also competitively priced at £480 SIM-free, in part because of the plasticky build, but you're not paying over the odds for that quality screen. The G3 represents LG at the top of its game. This is one excellent device that will make LG's mark known in the smartphone world once again.

Second fiddle is no longer LG's position. The years spent as an also-ran copycat mostly ended with the G2, and the continuation of those benefits into producing the G3 have confirmed that the company is capable of producing great works. The G3 is a wholesale upgrade in every important area - other than battery life, which we'll be able to rate properly later - and is surely in elite company when it comes to choosing phones. It's a little more than some will manage yet exactly what many others want. The Quad HD display isn't what will make anyone purchase this phone. The greatly improved software, inflexible but reliant camera, and enhanced exterior make the LG G3 the best Android smartphone LG has made ever made.

It’s not often that I come across a smartphone for which there’s nothing significant to complain about(!) – but the G3 fits that description, with the only possible serious objection being the size itself – last year’s G2 may still better suit the palms – and wallets – of those with smaller hands.

The LG G3 has its share of contradictions, such as its quad HD screen and a laser focusing camera coupled with a so-so Android reskin and basic photo shooting controls. And then there's its appealing compactness, offset by those back buttons that are a bit Marmite. Yet there's some sensible thinking here too, as the storage expansion and removable battery are must-haves for many. All in all, LG arrives with one of the year’s best phones – as long as you can get used to the controls.

If you're a high res pixel snob, you would absolutely love the new LG G3.

For around £500, you get a truckload of tech for your money with the LG G3. It doesn't have the sublime aluminium construction of the HTC One (M8), but you do get that incredible Quad HD display and laser focus camera for quick-fire shooting. It's well priced among its peers such as the Sony Xperia Z2 and Samsung Galaxy S5, and it's easily one of the top Android blowers out at the moment thanks to its blistering performance and smart features. We just wish its battery life was better and that LG would leave behind its plastic construction, but if you're after the bleeding edge of phone tech, you won't find anything sharper than the G3 right now.

The LG G3 deserves serious consideration. The design isn’t quite as slick as the HTC One M8 but the camera is a lot better and you get a lot more screen for your money. While the Sony Xperia Z2 is built from more premium materials the LG G3 is actually a lot easier to handle. The Samsung Galaxy S5 is probably its closest like for like rival and it squares up to it very well indeed, aside from the lack of water resistance and the slightly lower battery life. At around £50 cheaper than the other phones it is well worth looking at.

The LG G3 is due for release at the end of the month. Though LG hasn't given the G3 a strict recommended retail price, most stores are selling it for around £500 SIM-free. For us the £500 price tag is a bargain, putting it £50 to £100 cheaper than many competing top-end Android smartphones, such as the HTC One, Sony Xperia Z2 and Samsung Galaxy S5. This is especially true when you consider the G3's simple but effective 13MP rear camera, super-sharp 5.5in display and Knock Code, Content Lock and Kill Switch security services.

So is this the perfect phone? It's certainly the most powerful on the market at the moment and like Samsung did with the Galaxy S5, LG has focused on the basics rather than chucking exotic extra hardware features in for their own sake. Apart of course from that attention-grabbing laser. And it's a real pleasure to use the G3. Its size will be the clincher, though. Your mitts will decide whether it's a great development in rightfully big-scale technology or else an absurdly oversized whale.

100% LG G3 review
Source: Expert Reviews English Archive.org version
The G3 is easily LG's best smartphone to date. At £490 SIM-free or around £35 per month on contract, it commands a high price, but its industry-leading display, innovative features and excellent performance make it more than capable of competing with the equally expensive Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One (m8). The G3 may not have such sophisticated health apps as the S5 or the unique Duo Camera of the (m8), but if you want the best screen money can buy, there's simply no competition. It wins a Best Buy award.

LG G3 vs. HTC One (M8): Duel duo
Source: GSM Arena English Archive.org version
We wish HTC had made more of an effort to keep the bezels in check as the One (M8) is a large phone. Also, you're essentially limited to Instagram photography, but if you want dependable performance, great build and solid battery life, the HTC One (M8) is on the shortlist of phones to consider. The LG G3 meanwhile delivered some disappointments alongside its stunning achievements, but it is essentially the only current Android flagship phone with Optical Image Stabilization. The camera in general is very good, the screen and faux metal body are great if not excellent. If LG would only do something about that battery life.

So is this the perfect phone? It's certainly the most powerful on the market at the moment and like Samsung did with the Galaxy S5, LG has focused on the basics rather than chucking exotic extra hardware features in for their own sake. Apart of course from that attention-grabbing laser. And it's a real pleasure to use the G3. Its size will be the clincher, though. Your mitts will decide whether it's a great development in rightfully big-scale technology or else an absurdly oversized whale.

LG G3 review: the phone every Android OEM should make

Latest in their lineup of flagship Android handsets, the LG G3 is one beast of a handset. Packing a big screen into a surprisingly small frame, there are two attractions that everyone keeps chatting about: that screen and the battery life. After toying with the G3 for a few weeks, we’ve drawn our conclusions. Is this the Android phone to beat?

There's no reason why LG shouldn't be running with the pack with their G-series smartphones with HTC, Samsung, and Apple in the United States. Unfortunate for them, Samsung has the advertising finesse required to show themselves off as the fine-quality hardware creators they are, while LG seems to stand by the wayside.

LG G3 vs Samsung Galaxy S5: South Korean derby
Source: GSM Arena English Archive.org version
The gamble that LG took with the G3 this could ultimately end up paying off, but past trends indicate that the Samsung has responded well to challenges from its rivals. But until that time comes, the unmatched screen, the excellent camera, and compelling design make the G3 a tough one to beat, despite its shortcomings. The Korean derby will only be getting more interesting to watch. That's for sure. Not everyone will end up choosing a side - but many will be tempted.

The LG G3 is a mighty phone. I am not talking about just the specifications, or even the incredible sharpness of the pixels. It is impressive because it has a great balance of design, speed, ergonomics and battery life that should please users. Of course, the display is amazing and I encourage you to see it for yourself because nothing you will see on the web can convey how sharp it is.

The LG G3 packs a big and sharp QHD screen and an impressive laser-assisted camera in a sleek design, making it the best smartphone the company has ever made. This is also the best Android camera phone yet. However, there's not much content available to take advantage of the screen's high resolution, and the G3's battery life could be better (at least on the international version).

As we said at the start of this review, the G3 surprised us. While we hoped it would continue the great work started by the G2, we weren't expecting it to prove quite so much of a leap forward. Most phone upgrades these days are incremental, after all, but the G3 is manifestly better than its predecessor. Ultimately, there's barely a single thing wrong with the G3 and so, so much that is right with it. Good luck trying to surprise us with the G4, LG.

90% LG G3 review: Great battery life, wonderful features, and no more software bloat
Source: PC World English Archive.org version
In a direct comparison of the Galaxy S5 and the G3, the LG phone wins, if only by the slimmest of margins. It’s a fantastic piece of hardware chock full of features that should be standard for any flagship: a default keyboard you don’t immediately feel like swapping out; an extremely capable camera; long-lasting battery life; and an interface that doesn’t deviate too far from what Google intended. The G3 is also mostly free of extraneous software and hardware features that no one really asked for in the first place. And the few issues it does suffer aren’t critical deal-breakers. The G3 is simply one of the best phones to debut this year.

LG G3 first impressions: Incredible display and camera knock off my Xperia Z2

LG announced the LG G3 a couple of weeks ago and sent along a Korean model for me to test out. Even though this device isn't optimized for the US and I can't read half of what is loaded on this device, the experience has been so good that I put my new Xperia Z2 up on Swappa for sale already.

LG G3 review: Dream catcher
Source: GSM Arena English Archive.org version
Either way, the LG G3 enters with a bang. And another important aspect of timing is not to be underplayed either. It was about time LG got over a fixation on matching and beating Samsung at any rate. That's to say, if they had to choose between a fingerprint scanner in a waterproof body and a QHD screen - they made the right decision we think. A welcome emancipation, matched by beautiful design and advanced technology. Stuff flagships are made of.

I'll admit, when I first laid hands on the G3, I wasn't sure. I wanted it to be metal (as it appeared to be), but it wasn't. I wanted it to be a bit smaller and more like the Nexus 5, but it wasn't. I didn't think I'd like the rear placement of the buttons, and I don't. But, like two cops with different ideologies forced to work together on a crime, before long, these perceived negatives turned out to be charming qualities.

iPhone 5s vs LG G3 comparison review: How does LG's newest smartphone compare to the iPhone 5s?
Source: Macworld.co.uk English Archive.org version
We were wowed by the LG G3's display, there's no denying it. But we think it's just too big at 5.5in and much prefer the smaller, lighter and more portable form factor of the iPhone 5s, which also has a delightful display. They're both powerful handsets, and don't differ in price dramatically, so it's going to be down to personal preference when choosing between these two great smartphones. If you want bigger and prefer Android devices, it's a no brainer that the LG G3 is for you. But for anyone who already owns an iPhone, we say buy the iPhone 5s or wait for the iPhone 6. Plus, those new to smartphones will probably find iOS easier to get used to, and anyone looking for a phone they can carry in their pocket and operate with one hand should also choose the iPhone 5s.

It's difficult to be entirely prescriptive without fully testing the LG G3, but this much we can say: both the iPhone 5s and the LG G3 are great handsets, and they will cost around the same, with the LG being a bit cheaper. They are fast and well built. On the one hand the LG G3 definitely has the better display, but the iPhone 5s is smaller and easier to operate with one hand. Ultimately your decision will be personal. For me I'd opt for the LG for the display. Your decision may differ!

We'd happily own either of these two similarly specified smartphones, but with just a few pounds between them the LG G3 looks to be the more impressive device. Whereas the S5 offers a fingerprint reader and heart-rate sensor, the G3 boasts a larger, significantly higher-resolution Quad HD display that is quite simply beautiful, plus support for high-resolution audio. We'd much rather watch video, view photos and play games on the G3, which should be every bit as fast as the Galaxy S5.

LG G Vista

The LG G Vista is a sleek, slim and rounded device that provides plenty screen real estate. The black glossy chassis houses a 5.7 inch HD IPS display and is still able to maintain a slim profile for comfortable one hand usage. At the core of the Android 4.4 Kit Kat device is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, 1.5 GB RAM, and 8 GB internal storage.

Users will be pleased with the MicroSD support that allows for an additional 64 GB storage; a must for a modern day device that doubles up as an entertainment package. The LG G Vista has an 8 MP laser auto focus camera with LED flash and a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera for the selfie enthusiast. The laser focus certainly speeds up the picture taking process and users will get razor-sharp images.

Other technologies included are Bluetooth 4.0, S-GPS, NFC and many more. One feature that impresses is the Smart keyboard that adapts to the individual and makes typing easier. The LG G Vista is powered with a 3200 mAh capacity cell that will allow up to 15 hours talk time and will power up the device for a good amount of usage.

70% LG G Vista (AT&T)
Source: PC Mag English Archive.org version
The LG G Vista has three things going for it: a big screen, a big battery, and a small price tag. It's not quite as large as the Samsung Galaxy Mega, but it's got more modern Android software, faster performance, and costs half the price. The G Vista can't hold a candle to the Galaxy Note 3, which is soon to be supplanted by the Note 4, but it doesn't have to at just $50 versus over $200 for the Note 3. The bloatware and low storage is a bummer, but neither are deal breakers by any means. Big-screen junkies on a budget will be well served by the G Vista.

70% LG G Vista (Verizon Wireless)
Source: PC Mag English Archive.org version
Though it doesn't quite rehabilitate the tainted Vista name, the LG G Vista has a lot to offer for big-screen fans on a budget. The 720p display is on par with phones in this price range, like the Huawei Ascend Mate2 or HTC Desire 816. You're not getting a ton of power, especially compared with phablets like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, but for most tasks you probably won't notice a difference. Spending that extra $50 for the Note 3 is definitely worth considering, as that phablet has a sharper 1080p AMOLED display and unbeatable built-in stylus. It's also worth noting that at the time of this writing, Verizon lists the G3 at $100 with a two-year contract—it's only slightly smaller with a 5.5-inch display, but blows the G Vista out of the water in every other way.

LG G3 Stylus

Not many smartphones come with a stylus and the LG G3 Stylus is a welcome alternative to the market. LG has even taken a dig at their obvious competitor claiming it is a better way to note at a smarter price. The simplistic design is elegant with slight curves at the top and bottom of the device. There are 3 colors to choose from; black, white and gold. The Android v4.4.2 KitKat smartphone comes with a good 5.5 inch IPS LCD with 200ppi. Color quality and brightness are decent and users will definitely enjoy the screen real-estate. The affordable LG G3 Stylus comes with Cortex-A7 quad core processor clocked at 1.3 GHz, 1 GB RAM, Mali-400MP2 GPU and 8 GB of internal storage. This storage is upgradable with a microSD card up to 32 GB and will definitely be needed to enjoy full media content. Primary camera on the LG G3 Stylus is a 13 MP autofocus camera and it performs splendidly. There is a secondary 1.3 MP shooter in front of the device. Other features on the smartphone consist of Bluetooth 4.0, A-GPS and the obvious stylus. The 3000 mAh Li-Ion battery provides a pretty impressive usage time.

60% LG G3 Stylus Review: The Pen Isn't Mightier Than the Touchscreen
Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
We still aren't fans of LG's buttons-on-the-rear philosophy but we do have to give the company credit for its software enhancements. Considering the potential for one-handed use, the stylus, the low-resolution screen and the size of this phone, we suspect it might really appeal to people with weak eyesight or mobility impairments, or even those who are just generally tech-phobic.

The LG G3 Stylus has the right design, a good camera, a tried and tested UI but below average performance and that is what drags the phablet down. Instead of standing tall as the budget go to phablet with a stylus, it remains LG’s lost opportunity.

A cheaper, weaker G3 complete with stylus
Source: Techradar English Archive.org version
Is there space (and demand) in the market for a cheaper looking and feeling LG G3 with a questionable stylus? In short, not really. To be fair it looks like the G3 Stylus will be targeted at specific markets such a Asia and Latin America, and it may never make an official appearance in the likes of the US, UK and Australia. The screen is surprisingly good considering

LG G3 Stylus hands-on: Is the Stylus mightier than the finger?
Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
Overall, the LG G3 Stylus design is nice and fits in well with the LG G3 family despite looking a little less premium than the other devices. We would loved to have seen some more competitive specs but as LG is aiming for Brazil, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and CIS, as well as wanting to keep it cheap and cheerful, we understand that flagship specs weren't the plan for this device and it seems to do a good job at being a mid-range handset that offers stylus functionality.

LG G3 Beat

LG's flagship smartphone release from 2014, known as the G3, gets a smaller mid-range model called G3 Beat now. Outstanding features of the LG G3 series are the power and volume buttons at the back of the phone and a laser sensor next to the rear camera lens. The smaller size of the G3 Beat compared to its larger counterparts makes it easier to hold in the the hand. It is only 1 cm thick and weighs 134 grams.

The 5 inch display has a modest resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and a pixel density of 294 ppi. This display renders graphics adequately for everyday graphics, but is not sufficient for high demand HD applications like professional photo editing. The G3 Beat features an 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad core processor with an integrated Adreno 305 graphic card.

The phone runs an LG customized version of Android 4.4.2 with a plethora of great options like a battery saver mode, a Qslide feature (which enables users to undertake small tasks in separate floating windows), and a snooze button for the alarm triggered by flipping the phone over. This flipping action can also be used to reject incoming calls. However, the battery life of only about 7 to 8 hours with normal usage is not very great. All in all, this phone is ideal for true LG fans.

70% LG G3 S review
Source: Trusted Reviews English Archive.org version
It's not a bad option, but there are better phones you could buy at this price. Though it looks and feels good, it's a mishmash of lazy compromises elsewhere. A lower resolution screen and reduced processor can be expected, but the lack of an ambient light sensor is an unacceptable oversight. An underwhelming downgrade to the LG G3. It's competent in most ways, but the camera isn't good enough for a phone at this price.

70% LG G3 S review: Moderate mid-ranger
Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
While the S squeezes a 5-inch display into its nicely designed and compact body, we found the user interface to be a little slow in places, and its colour palette looks a little dated. There's no shortage of options, however, and the camera performance is good - but we just think that this smartphone would have fared better if LG stuck to the "simple" premise it set out with. With Motorola's aggressive pricing, the LG is also more expensive than you might want it to be at £250, but it comes in cheaper than some other options, such as the HTC One mini 2 or Samsung Galaxy S5 mini.

70% A cut down LG G3 in more than just size
Source: Techradar English Archive.org version
The LG G3 S may look like the LG G3, but it offers much poorer value than LG's flagship. Relatively low screen resolution, limited storage, a low-end processor and at-best mid-range camera just don't stack up to the £240 price. At this point there are just too many great phones in the £200-300 price band for the LG G3 S to be able to compete. As such, the phone feels overpriced.

70% LG G3 Beat review: A strictly average smartphone and a Rs 25,000 price tag makes it difficult to recommend
Source: Tech2.in.com English Archive.org version
It hasn’t been long since LG launched its flagship – the LG G3 - which sports a 2560×1440 pixel display and comes with a 13MP camera with laser auto-focus. It was an impressive phone which gave a good battery life despite the high end specs. Recently LG announced the G3 Beat, which is a more affordable variant of the G3 line. We have been seeing these mid-range variants of high end flagships in the past and most of them used to come with the ‘Mini’ moniker. So will the LG G3 Beat prove to be a budget LG G3 worth investing in? Let us find out.

60% LG G3 Beat Review: Good Looking, but Slightly Out of Tune
Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
There's quite a bit to like about the LG G3 Beat, except for its price, which is officially Rs. 25,000 but is hovering at around Rs. 18,500 in retail at the time of this review. Considering the relatively inconsequential addition of a laser autofocus system and IR emitter, the fact that it costs up to twice as much as the equally good Motorola Moto G (Gen 2) is a little startling. If you aren't living in an LTE market or have no need for greater-than-3G speeds, it makes even less sense. We weren't huge fans of the Moto G's looks and the G3 Beat is definitely improvement, aesthetically as well as in terms of size and comfort, but this isn't worth the enormous price difference.

The LG G3 tries to imitate the LG G3 but the thing is, it can’t, it doesn't have the hardware to do that. On top of that, LG has priced the phone just below the Huawei Honor 6 which, on paper, has almost 3 times the firepower. All in all, this is a good try from LG, but maybe next time, they can price it right.

LG G3 Vigor Review
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
Between the two carriers selling the LG G3 Vigor stateside, Sprint is the one selling it for less – $29.99 on-contract or $312 outright. That certainly is better than AT&T’s asking price of $49.99 on-contract, or $334.99 outright. Looking at its on-contract prices, it’s not a bad option. For the most part, its specs are reduced compared to the original G3 to reflect its entry-level status, but it’s relieving to know that several features have been retained – like its IR blaster, the microSD card slot, and several software enhancements.

80% LG G3 Vigor (Sprint)
Source: PC Mag English Archive.org version
Though its 5-inch display is anything but small, the LG G3 Vigor is still a miniaturized flagship in the same vein as the HTC One Remix. But unlike that phone and older, small-screen options like the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini, the G3 Vigor carries an aggressively low price tag with relatively few compromises. It's a reliable performer with specs that outmatch the majority of phones in its price class, like the underwhelming $29 Kyocera Hydro Vibe. The G3 Vigor is an excellent choice for entry-level smartphones on Sprint. If you have a bit more room in your budget, consider the $99 HTC One E8, which delivers real flagship specs and features at a reasonable price.

It's good to see LG have another pop at the curved phone and on the whole we're impressed with the G Flex 2 and since it's been around for a while the price is something of a bargain. The curve is by no means necessary but it does feel and look good and improvements include the higher screen resolution and slimmed down body.

70% A big improvement on the curved screen smartphone
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
It's good to see LG have another pop at the curved phone and on the whole we're impressed with the G Flex 2 and since it's been around for a while the price is something of a bargain. The curve is by no means necessary but it does feel and look good and improvements include the higher screen resolution and slimmed down body. It's still packed with tech but it's a shame to see occasional laggy performance which puts a dampener on things.

More manageable in the hand, with an improved display and super speedy self-healing back - there's a lot to like about the LG G Flex 2. It's not small and it won't be cheap, but you'll be getting an unique device which you can show off to all your mates with scuffed up iPhones. Suckers.

A combination of power, beauty and functionality in a curved body
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
LG G Flex2 is a gorgeous, powerful and functional device. Thanks to its curved design, light weight and slim body it feels great in the hand. One of its great features is the healing back, which saves us the worries about small scratches. G Flex2’s display offers superb multimedia experience, and battery life is long enough to get you through the day. The SoC and all its components offer high performance, so using the device is a pleasure. The only drawback that we can think of is the overheating issues.

Interested buyers can pick up the G Flex2 for its novelty factor.

In fact, we'd even recommend the Galaxy S6's wackier sibling - the Galaxy S6 Edge (Review | Pictures) - over the LG G Flex2 plainly because it is more stable.

90% LG G Flex2 – Review
Source: Cool Smartphone English Archive.org version
The positives of this handset is that it stood out and the curvature of the device was pretty much spot on. As the old Goldilocks story goes, it wasn’t too much, wasn’t too little – juuuuuust right. It was speedy too, but I struggled to see why (other than the fact it’s curved) you’d buy this over an LG G3 or the newer G4. The G Flex2 is available on Vodafone for nothing on bundles costing £40 or more per month. To be honest, it’s hitting a premium price-point here and sits next to my LG G3 on the same network for free on £26 per month plans. I’ve gotta be straight with you, it’s hard for me not to recommend the cheaper G3 – even though the newer G4 is now out.

80% LG G Flex 2 (Sprint) review: a curveball in 2015’s flagship lineup
Source: Pocketnow English Archive.org version
But the G Flex 2 isn’t defined by its flaws. It’s more than just LG showing off curved design again, it’s a refined and sophisticated smartphone that’s just as powerful as it is stylish. It’s one of the more comfortable handheld devices I’ve ever used despite being a bit bigger than I what typically prefer, and it’s almost impossible to take out in public without catching someone’s eye. For those reasons, I’d gladly overlook its minor shortcomings and carry it as my personal phone … if only the damn AT&T model would get here.

The G Flex 2 is a solid phone, and a big step forward from the original G Flex. But it also doesn't bring any meaningful stand-out features to the table, and its competition is too good for us to highly recommend it. Looking at Sprint's on-contract pricing for the phone (US$200), it's butting heads with the Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6, two phones that we'd put far ahead of the Flex.

With an improved display and nifty new software touches, the G Flex 2 is a definite upgrade over its predecessor.

The 13-MP camera takes very sharp pictures, too, although it struggles in low light.

This brings me to the price. At $780 it’s nearly double that of the LG G3, which retails for a touch under $400 these days. With the only real advantage being performance, the extra $380 just doesn’t seem worth it. LG has certainly tried to produce a unique smartphone that breaks away from the usual mold of flat, boring slabs, I'll give them that, though unfortunately it hasn’t quite come off.

Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version
The G Flex 2 seems like it’s the kind of phone that would live or die by its striking design, but the truth is that it’d be fantastic with or without its curves. Its unique build is both sturdy and comfortable to hold, and its display, performance, and camera are all competitive with any other flagship on the market. The Snapdragon 810’s heating issues are tangible, and being unable to change the included battery is a drag, but neither of those problems prevent the G Flex 2 from being one of the first great smartphones of 2015.

LG G Flex 2 review - the bendy phone that self heals
Source: Expert Reviews English Archive.org version
Our main concern is the price. At £529 SIM-free, the LG G Flex 2 is one of the most expensive handsets you can buy today, topping the LG G3 by almost £150. This wouldn't be so bad if the G Flex 2 had all the makings and build quality of a proper high-end flagship handset, but its slightly cheap-looking plastic chassis is nowhere near as smart as the G3's faux-metal finish, and the imminent arrival of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9 blow it out of the water.

If it wasn’t already obvious, then I guess I’ll say it again – I won’t be recommending that anyone go out and buy the LG G Flex 2. There is certainly potential here, but until LG proves that it can optimize software or not ruin some of the best features of Android by enforcing its own skin, then you would be better served looking elsewhere. This was a decent second attempt at trying to convince the world that it needs a curve in its life, but it failed miserably in the area that matters most – software.

Overall the LG G Flex 2 has plenty to offer, and not just because it's curved. There's lots of power and it performs well, even if we couldn't detect a huge real-world increase in performance over the last generation of Snapdragon hardware. There are some software quirks we don't like and it feels like there could be some further refinement, although we'll have to take a closer look at a UK device to ensure that it wasn't the SK Telecom's additions causing the problems. Battery life could also be better.

The main question that remains unanswered about the LG G Flex2 is how it will feel to own and use over a long period of time.

Though the LG G Flex is on pre-order with Sprint in the US, we have yet to see where and at what price the phone will be available on other carriers in the West. The off-contract price on Sprint, for the moment, is listed at around $500. Though the LG G Flex has proven that curved displays can definitely work for flagship smartphones, the only competitor with a curved display thus far is Samsung with the Galaxy Note Edge, and whatever edged device we might see from them at the upcoming Mobile World Congress at Barcelona.

LG G Flex 2 Review – Killer Curves

When you're using a non-localized device, there are always provisos to be taken into consideration. In the case of the LG G Flex 2, we still have several outstanding questions: how the combination of Snapdragon 810 and US-spec software will play together is probably the biggest. I'm also curious to see how much restraint - or lack of - US carriers demonstrate when it comes to bloatware.

That's still not reason enough to spring for a curved, flexible phone.

With the original G Flex, LG had some great ambitions that were ultimately hampered by reality -- the reality of complexity, of production, of price. Want to see a phone that was just a little too ahead of its time? Look no further than the G Flex2. It's honestly a little surprising how much difference a year makes, and LG has used that time wisely.

LG G Flex 2 vs LG G3
Source: Android Authority English Archive.org version
The LG G Flex 2 has launched in Korea, and will be available for pre-order on February 27th in Singapore. AT&T, Sprint and US Cellular have announced their plans to eventually carry the device sometime in the spring, though no exact date has been given. It will also launch on Vodafone in the UK, and will make its way to Australia, though there’s no timeframe for its availability. The phone has been rumored to launch at around €599.99 off-contract (~$600 US), but we’ll need to wait and see the exact price when the launch date gets closer.

80% LG G Flex 2 review: A powerful curved smartphone that might just convert you
Source: Greenbot English Archive.org version
If you like what you see, you should seriously consider giving the G Flex 2 a try. It’s a massive improvement over its predecessor, and this second-generation phone sets the precedent for what curved phones should be. They should be both high quality and comfortable to hold, with features that mirror those of other flagship phones. Curved phones shouldn’t be just niche devices, but a merely another design option.

LG G Flex2 review: A new angle
Source: GSM Arena English Archive.org version
LG kicked off 2015 with a bang... or rather with a new flex. The LG G Flex2 is the first smartphone to unleash the latest Snapdragon 810 beast-of-a-chipset on the market. The curved OLED display is still one of its key unique selling points. This time around it's also got a special edition strengthened Gorilla Glass 3 at front and an updated self-healing coating on the plastic back. It has borrowed the great camera of the LG G3 along with the optical image stabilization and laser-assisted autofocus.

75% LG G Flex 2 review: tomorrow’s tech, yesterday’s problemsscore
Source: Pocketnow English Archive.org version
But in the real world, the G Flex 2 is handicapped by one of its biggest differentiators. The stormy relationship between the Snapdragon 810, Android Lollipop and LG’s custom interface makes for a very inconsistent software experience – one that gets more frustrating the longer you use it. Once LG corrects these issues, via its promised software updates or hardware revisions, the G Flex 2 might live up to the potential of its impressive specs and futuristic design. For now, it’s more valuable as yet another reminder that specs aren’t everything.

LG G4

The new LG release has long been keenly awaited by LG fans looking forward to yet another elegant, sleek and stylish product. This time, LG has really outdone itself with the design of the G4, which features a full genuine leather back. It fact, it may be the only smartphone on the market thus far to have a fully genuine leather back that comes in two colors, brown and black. The rest of the phone under the leather covering and the display are special as well, featuring plastic that has been enforced with ceramic. Display wise, it has a 5.5 inch IPS Quantum screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and a pixel density of 538 ppi. The operating system used is the Android 5.1, also called Lollipop. The G4 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 chipset with X10 LTE and a 1.8 GHz 64 bit hexa-core processor. An Adreno 418 graphic card completes the team and there is 32 GB internal storage, which can be expanded up to 2 TB thanks to the memory card slot. The smartphone measures about 9.8 mm in thickness and weighs about 155 g, which is quite acceptable. If you want to stand out with a classy, refined phone, this is one model to look out for.

87.8% LG G4 First Impressions | Notebookcheck
Say "cheese!" LG has once and for all completely dedicated itself to photography with its new flagship. A higher resolution, bigger lenses, a higher luminosity, and an improved image stabilizer... it almost lets us forget that the G4 is a superb smartphone - optionally available in leather. Unfortunately, it also has some old weaknesses.
87.8% LG G4 Smartphone Review | Notebookcheck
Not just a good looker. LG now offers genuine leather back covers for its premium smartphone, and uses a lightly curved design for this model. The manufacturer preserves the old virtues and optimizes the device in important areas. However, it has not quite managed to eliminate all the flaws of the precursor.

Premiera LG G4 odbyła się w 2015 roku, mimo to smartfon nadal jest godny uwagi. Oryginalne wzornictwo, 5,5-calowy ekran o rozdzielczości QHD i świetna jakość wykonywanych zdjęć powodują, że koreański flagowiec w swojej klasie cenowej może okazać się świetnym wyborem. Nie jest to jednak idealny smartfon, przeciętny czas pracy na baterii oraz wydajności, podpowiadają że warto rozejrzeć się za innym rozwiązanie. Rozczaruje też fakt, że telefon jest dostarczany bez słuchawek i ładowarki szybkiego ładowania.

There are two reasons why you might be interested in comparing these two handsets. You either own an LG G4 and are interested in upgrading to one of this year's heavy hitters, or are looking for a new phone and are wondering whether it's a good idea to shell out for the shiny new Samsung Galaxy S7, or just go for a discounted, slightly older model in the face of the LG G4.

So there you have it for this quick look back at the LG G4! The overall experience with this smartphone has been very good, and it remains a very reliable device to have, especially if you’re able to leverage features like expandable storage and a removable battery. The design aspect is what I have enjoyed the most about this phone, and we hope that, even if we don’t see some of the more unique elements make it over to the LG G5, we get to see them in other parts of LG’s lineup.

Apple iPhone 6s Plus vs LG G4
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
With all of this in mind, it's up to you to decide which handset suits your needs better. Truth be told, you can't go wrong with either, but you must consider that both phablets serve different types of users. Thus, those who want an elegant and reliable phablet for consuming multimedia, making mobile payments, and playing games with silky-smooth framerates will find the iPhone 6s Plus fantastic for their needs. Power users, though, might prefer the LG G4 for its competent multitasking, file format freedom, the camera's Manual mode, and the ability to add a microSD card or replace the battery on a whim. And if you also happen to be price-conscious, this is another point of interest for LG's hero phone.

Power users, though, might prefer the LG G4 for its competent multitasking, file format freedom, the camera's Manual mode, and the ability to add a microSD card or replace the battery on a whim. And if you also happen to be price-conscious, this is another point of interest for LG's hero phone.

Apple iPhone 6s vs LG G4
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
The iPhone 6s is a complete all-around package with little compromises and lots of polished features that work reliably. But if you aren't after the iPhone 6s' “premium” appeal, you need to consider the fact that the LG G4 presents better value for money. A solid all-around Android phone, the LG G4 costs as much as $200 less than a 16GB iPhone 6s, but has at least three things going over it — a bigger display, a more elaborate camera, and a louder speaker. But, even when we put design and user interface aside, which are both subjective characteristics, the iPhone 6s does win over the LG G4 in terms of display accuracy, sheer performance, camera consistency, app quality, and battery life. Although one can certainly learn to live with the G4's shortcomings, the iPhone 6s is consistently better in almost every regard, and demanding users will find the price premium well worth it.

Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ vs LG G4
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
Our review must have made the following things pretty clear by now. Both the Galaxy S6 edge+ and the LG G4 have very good designs, but whereas the former is purely a showpiece, the latter is more practical with its removable battery and microSD card slot. The display on the Samsung phablet has a more natural look with its color accuracy, but LG's doesn't look bad either. And still, both are bragging material with their excellent minimum and maximum brightness levels. Also, the S6 edge+ and the G4 boast mature, streamlined user interfaces that have been set on path of improvement, with both having plenty of potential to get even better.

100% Review: LG G4
Source: PC Authority English Archive.org version
While we’re not bowled over by the software, it hasn’t dampened our enthusiasm for the LG G4. It’s incredibly hard to be different in the smartphone world, but with some bold design choices LG has managed to pull it off. Critically, it hasn’t compromised performance, battery life or camera quality, and retaining both a microSD slot and a removable battery means the G4 will appeal to a whole tranche of customers for whom flexibility is most important.

Samsung Galaxy Note5 vs LG G4
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
All things considered, for most users, deciding between the Galaxy Note5 and the LG G4 would be a classic decision of either splurging on a device that's more expensive and able to do more than they actually need, or paying less for a device that seems to be less pretentious, but about as versatile in almost all cases. Whether the Note5 is worth the price premium is up to your individual tastes, needs, and financial situation, which is why we can't straight up recommend it as a better purchase than the LG G4. But if pure technological enthusiasm, or the need for stylus-driven mobile productivity are the motivating forces in your decision-making process, you will end up happier with the Note5.

80% Great price and camera but phone misses the mark in other areas
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
LG has gone down an unexpected route with leather models which we like apart from a couple of colours. The so called ceramic model will be cheaper but feels cheap and plasticky. On the whole, hardware is once again strong - particularly the camera - but not massively different from the G3 and has tough competition. We feel build quality could be better with a metal frame and dimensions going down, not the reverse. This is the flagship to go for if you want a removable battery and expandable storage but it's a shame to see features like wireless charging dropped.

The main talking point with the LG G3 was its incredibly high-resolution display – coming in at 538 PPI. This remains with the G4, but the processor and camera are just a few of the improvements made to the new flagship. While a unique leather back model has been released, we review the metallic grey variant.

But who is it aimed at really? The businessman would care about the leather back but he would love better battery life. The college-going student would love the camera but he wouldn’t care so much about the leather back. The battery would be the dampener once again. If you are sitting in a car at the start of the race – would you rather it be a Ferrari that may run out of gas halfway or a Maruti that would get you to your goal. The G4 is good but unfortunately, it isn’t the best and at the very top, that is a killer blow.

The LG G4’s best feature is easily its camera. The combination of a 16-megapixel optically stabilized sensor with an f/1.8 lens and competent software results in some truly awesome photos in a wide variety of conditions. With the G4’s superb shooter in your pocket there is no reason to carry around a point-and-shoot, and in many circumstances it does the job of a much more bulky DSLR.

The LG G4 is definitely another step forward for the once-ailing smartphone brand, but it’s a step that puts it further behind the leading pack.

LG G4 vs Apple iPhone 6 – in-depth comparison

Both LG G4 and Apple iPhone 6 are great choices for a flagship device. The design of both phones is great, even though each manufacturer has used different materials in the construction. Purely looking at the specs, features and hardware of each phone, the G4 outshines the iPhone 6, but as it seems this isn’t always the case, especially if Apple is involved. We can’t give you an exact science regarding the “right” choice between these phones, but we can help you decide what suits you best. If you are a power user, who likes being able to control almost everything on their device, or just really enjoys having various features, go with the G4. You also get a removable back cover, so if your daily life includes a lot of traveling and not many opportunities to charge your phone, you can just make a quick swap.

LG G4 vs. Samsung Galaxy S6: Next door rivals

The Hatfields and McCoys are legendary rival neighbors from the New Continent, but South Korea has two tech giants instead - Samsung and LG. Their flagship phones, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and LG G4, will compete for every inch of ground gained on the market. These two are quite different in nature and will appeal to different crowds. The thin metal and glass design of the S6 goes after the iPhone, while also catering to Galaxy faithfuls who weren't happy with the faux leather. The LG G4 steers away from the "smartphone slab" design with a uniquely curved body and provides a soft answer to Apple's and HTC's metal.

For three years in a row, LG was able to differentiate themselves with flagships featuring unconventional design, big battery capacity, good screens and great camera performance. The G4 here is a worthy successor except some details that need a little improvement. For starters, the design is great, build quality is excellent, but there’s a bit more to that. While the leather provides extra grip with good feel, the sharp edges and corners along with overall bigger size, compared to its predecessor, makes the phone harder to use with one hand. It feels a bit impractical, but still outshines its competitors in this department. The screen, on the other hand, brings a lot to the table even though not as much as LG claims. Color accuracy is practically the same (with minor improvement), color gamut coverage is the same, but the contrast ratio is sky-rocketing along with maximum brightness and both greatly improve image quality outdoors. So here’s where the LG G4 rights the wrongs of the G3. Compared side to side, the G3’s screen just looks obsolete.

90% LG G4 Review: A Phone That Attempts To Do Everything

The LG UX offers quite a lot without overcrowding the experience, which has been a gradual but welcome change. As a daily driver, it’s hard not to be impressed with the speed of this operating system, and the G4 manages to deliver a user experience that keeps up with some of the best out there.

LG G4 review: A fine, but not exceptional, phone
Source: Computerworld.com English Archive.org version
If you're focused on having niche features like a removable battery and micro SD card slot -- or you just like the G4's size and style -- LG's latest effort might be the device for you. Otherwise, you won't have to look far to find something that's comparably good on paper -- and more exceptional in reality.

LG G4 vs LG G3: LG’s flagships compared
Source: Android Authority English Archive.org version
Though the G3 is increasingly becoming available for lower prices, you will be buying a year-old phone. Although many don’t feel comfortable spending their hard-earned cash on a smartphone that was released in 2014, software updates have been doing a good job at keeping the phone from feeling like a fossil. The G3 is still a great value considering its lower price point, solid camera and speedy performance. However, the G4 has proven itself worthy in this year’s crop of flagships, and offers enough improvements across the board that make it worth the extra dough. The camera is more powerful and robust than ever, the user experience is as smooth as it should be at this point in the game, and the signature LG style continues to impress.

Testing: LG G4 and Android Smartphone Cameras
Source: Tested English Archive.org version
All of this is a long way of reminding you that camera hardware specs are just one component that goes into how a smartphone photo looks, and to give you a glimpse of how I think about photography when testing smartphones. To say that Android cameras suck is a gross oversimplification of the current state of smartphone photos; but simplification is something that Apple's cameras and algorithms do get right. If you just want to tap and snap, you're going to be able to get quality photos on the iPhone 6. I just prefer the versatility and high-resolution detail of my photos from the LG G4, which look great on the phone itself and on the desktop.

Review: LG G4
Source: Gizmag English Archive.org version
Like the HTC One M9, the LG G4 is a very good phone that falls short of our hopes right when its biggest rival is soaring the highest. Apart from its screen size and quality, the G4's biggest advantage is that it runs a little cheaper than most tier-one smartphone flagships – at least when you buy at full retail. If you're grading on a (full retail) pricing curve, then it does look like a somewhat more serious contender.

At the end of the day, the main story here is that, while both the G4 and the S6 offer a lot of features, they are as quick and smooth as they need to be. Both companies have received a lot of flak for stutter and lag on previous iterations of TouchWiz and LG UX, but complaints are few and far between this time around, and that is a wonderful development.

If you've the yen and the yearning to pay in the £40/month range for a swanky flagship, then the G4 needs to be on your shopping list. HTC's out of the running because its camera doesn't cut it and the 810 processor zaps the phone, to no great advantage.

Featuring a better display, infinitely superior camera, longer battery life and costing £80 less, the LG G4 is the clear winner of this vs review. That said, it's worth noting that the One M9 is still far from terrible and features a more premium, robust metal design and higher maximum storage capacity.

We're not bowled over by the software improvements, but that doesn't dampen our enthusiasm for the LG G4. It's incredibly hard to be different in the smartphone world, and yet by being bold, LG has managed to pull it off. Critically, it hasn’t compromised on performance, battery life or camera quality, and by retaining both a microSD slot and a removable battery, the G4 will appeal to a whole tranche of customers to whom flexibility is most important.

Camera-phone shootout: LG G4 versus Samsung Galaxy S6
Source: Androidbeat English Archive.org version
With three distinct wins, one ‘draw’ and one loss, the LG G4 comes out of my five scene test here as the winner. Yes, the Galaxy S6 (and Edge) 16MP unit is terrific too, definitely the second best imaging powerhouse in the world for all purpose snapping, image quality, and so on. But the G4’s results are astonishing (I’ve put one of them from my tests up here, for you to download and analyse, should you feel inclined) and it has me rocked back on my heels – I never expected anything this good could exist housed within a standard smartphone body.

LG G4 review: Sharp and shooter
Source: GSM Arena English Archive.org version
The build quality is top-notch and we think the phone looks great in leather. The plastic rear covers are not as impressive but by no means of poor quality. From experience with the Moto X, we're slightly concerned about how well the leather will hold up but if LG did it right, the G4 will age more gracefully. The phone fits well in the hand, the curved shape takes a while to notice but it does have a positive impact on the usability.

Finally, the other area the LG G4 really excels in is battery life. This phone is well-balanced in terms of horsepower, a big gorgeous display, and longevity, which is a hard combination to hit cleanly. The only thing holding the G4 back is the question of price. At $650 off contract, it's hard to believe that a mainstream user would opt for this phone over the One M9, GS6, or iPhone 6 Plus.

As we haven’t had any hands on time with the Sony Xperia Z4 as it is yet to be announced in the UK, we can’t say definitively which phone is better. With that being said, it depends on what you use your phone for – the LG G4 seems to be the better option for photography and general style/comfort, while the Z4 looks to be the more powerful of the two phones.

LG G4 Review: Premium across the board – but make a beeline for the leather
Source: Androidbeat English Archive.org version
It’s hard not to be really impressed by the G4, bringing the best of modern smartphone technology in every regard, screen, camera, internals, OS, all in a premium package that undercuts its rivals from Samsung and Apple by a good £100 or so, SIM-free. It’s true that the plastic backed version doesn’t feel quite so luxurious, so definitely pay the £20 extra to get a leather variant – and shop around to find a supplier or network with the colour you want (easier said than done?) Unless you have a real aversion to leather, I promise that you won’t regret the extra research.

LG did an excellent job with the G4 and while it may not be a revolutionary update over the G3, there are plenty of improvements that make it the best LG ever made. My current photo testing shows the LG G4 may also be the new champ in the camera department as well.

LG G4 Review
Source: Droid-Life English Archive.org version
The way I see it, the G4 and Galaxy S6 comparison is purely subjective. Whichever device you think looks best, you should probably get. They will each prove worthy of your daily needs. They have excellent cameras, fantastic looks, and awesome displays. Doesn’t get much better than that these days. And should you decide to choose the G4, you get the added bonus of expandable storage and a removable battery, if you care about that sort of thing.

LG G4 vs iPhone 6 comparison: The best phone of 2015 - but should you buy the LG G4 or the iPhone 6?
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
Overall we're quite surprised to see that the iPhone 6 and LG G4 are reasonably evenly matched in a way. They both have stand-out features as well as downfalls, so it's going to be a case of weighing up the features you consider to be most important in a smartphone. For example, if you want an exceptionally good camera or enjoy taking lots of selfies you might want to opt for the LG G4, but for a slimmer, more compact smartphone you'll be better off choosing the iPhone 6.

The LG G4 is the best phone the South Korean company has made to date, giving a blower with a subtle curve that slots elegantly into your hand, a first-rate camera that practically beats the competition and a gorgeous, pixel-rich display. But it feels a bit backwards too: you won't find the premium materials found on other smartphones, it's heavy on the plastic and its leather back option isn't as luxurious as glass.

LG has done a lot with its flagship too, but the differences between the G3 and G4 just aren’t that dramatic—that swanky (albeit polarizing) leather option notwithstanding.

Which one should you choose? It’s a lot about your preference when it comes to software platform, but the LG G4 is one of the best Android phones you can get at the moment, and probably the best phablet, while the iPhone 6 will still carry more appeal for gamers with its stellar catalog, as well as causal users who count on its “just works” approach. If those nuances are not all that important, though, you can stay assured that both phones are great in most other aspects.

LG G4 Review – The hero Android needs
Source: Slashgear English Archive.org version
I admire LG’s restraint. The company took the best of last year’s G3 and spent its time refining the key elements: display and camera, and that focus has paid dividends. The G4 has a fantastic screen and a camera capable of taking on Samsung and Apple’s finest and not being cowed. All the same, it’s not a clean sweep. The G4’s plastic models are frankly underwhelming and, even with the leather back in place, the fake chrome still cheapens the overall feel. Wireless charging as standard would’ve been an obvious cherry on top of the removable battery, too.

Perhaps the G4 does not feel like a big enough leap from last year’s G3. Maybe it’s a fingerprint sensor away from feeling complete. While there is this sense that LG could have pushed harder, it is also difficult to find much to complain about with what the G4 ultimately presents: a phone worthy of consideration as one of the best to launch in 2015 so far, though perhaps not THE best.

In the clash between the LG G4 and the iPhone 6 Plus, it's virtually impossible to determine a clear winner. Both handsets have their strengths and weaknesses, and picking one over the other will eventually narrow down to personal preferences. The G4, in particular, is a pretty good example of what a smartphone maker might come up with after it's taken its time to perfect a winning formula – the G4 is a surprisingly good all-around device that will most certainly cope with the majority of everyday tasks you might throw at it.

Has the LG G4 swooped in and stolen the 2015 phone of the year award from Samsung? Not quite. The Optimus UI is once again not the best-looking in town, and some of the aesthetic hardware upgrades are barely skin-deep. It doesn’t have the price advantage the LG G3 had, either. At £500 for the ceramic-plastic versions and £525 for the leather versions, it’s actually the same price as the Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9 from the top spots online.

It might not be as technically powerful as some of LG's other recent releases, but the G4 as a package is the most compelling the company has put out yet. From the pared-down user interface to the tight integration with Google to the strong camera performance, the G4 is a great phone... not to mention a very logical step forward from last year's G3.

If you kept score, you'd know which way we're leaning right now — the Galaxy S6 snagged more wins on the way, big or small, earning itself a lead on the G4. This doesn't come without a lengthy, maybe even patronizing disclaimer, that makes it sufficiently clear that you should try and identify the things you care about instead of following along blindly. This means deciding whether you want a phablet-sized phone, or one that is easier to handle. It means asking yourself if that extra frame or two when gaming will really make a difference. It means finding out whether metal-and-glass designs are your thing, or whether you prefer the warm touch of leather instead.

Conversely, we’ll applaud the LG G4 for being a worthy competitor too. If savings is your thing, the $200 on-contract cost is deserving for a high caliber phone like this one – though, you’ll be getting a less premium looking phone with its plastic casing. Regardless of that, LG really impresses us with the G4’s amazing low lighting performance with its camera – and its vibrant IPS Quantum Display. Like we said people, there’s no shame going with one of the phone over the other. It just mainly comes down to what design you find more attractive.

From the pared-down user interface to the tight integration with Google to the strong camera performance, the G4 is a great phone... not to mention a very logical step forward from last year's G3.

LG G4 preview: A second encounter
Source: GSM Arena English Archive.org version
A quick glance at LG G4 will quickly suggest that the Korean giant’s latest flagship smartphone is an evolution of its predecessor and rightfully so. However, improvement in key areas such as build quality and finish, display, and camera take the smartphone to a level, which last year’s model couldn’t reach.

LG G4 vs Samsung Galaxy S6
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
If you kept score, you'd know which way we're leaning right now — the Galaxy S6 snagged more wins on the way, big or small, earning itself a lead on the G4. This doesn't come without a lengthy, maybe even patronizing disclaimer, that makes it sufficiently clear that you should try and identify the things you care about instead of following along blindly. This means deciding whether you want a phablet-sized phone, or one that is easier to handle. It means asking yourself if that extra frame or two when gaming will really make a difference. It means finding out whether metal-and-glass designs are your thing, or whether you prefer the warm touch of leather instead.

LG G4 vs Samsung Galaxy S6 edge

Conversely, we’ll applaud the LG G4 for being a worthy competitor too. If savings is your thing, the $200 on-contract cost is deserving for a high caliber phone like this one – though, you’ll be getting a less premium looking phone with its plastic casing. Regardless of that, LG really impresses us with the G4’s amazing low lighting performance with its camera – and its vibrant IPS Quantum Display. Like we said people, there’s no shame going with one of the phone over the other. It just mainly comes down to what design you find more attractive.

90% LG G4 Review: a phone that attempts to do everything
Source: Android Authority English Archive.org version
So there you have it – an in-depth look at the LG G4! It’s been a great year so far for flagships. With every phone bringing different offerings to the table, the LG G4 is trying to bring the most. A great camera experience is backed by yet another speedy iteration of Android, in a body that remains recognizable and attractive due to LG’s signature design language. If what are missing in other flagships kept you from buying them, the G4 just might be the phone that you’re looking for. It isn’t a big leap from previous generations of the series, but that is true for most of this year’s releases as well.

LG G4 review - including performance benchmarks, battery results and camera quality assessment

We're not bowled over by the software improvements, but that doesn't dampen our enthusiasm for the LG G4. It's incredibly hard to be different in the smartphone world, and yet by being bold, LG has managed to pull it off. Critically, it hasn’t compromised on performance, battery life or camera quality, and by retaining both a microSD slot and a removable battery, the G4 will appeal to a whole tranche of customers to whom flexibility is most important.

The G4 may be coming slightly late to this year's flagship smartphone race, but it's certainly got a wealth of features to help it stand out from the competition. While we're not particularly keen on the ceramic or metallic models, the leather back is surprisingly elegant and we definitely prefer it to the slippery glass back of the Galaxy S6. The G4's unique colour spectrum sensor also puts it neck-and-neck with the camera on the back of the S6 and we think its display looks just as sharp and punchy as Samsung's Super AMOLED panels.

With the G4, LG puts its competitors on notice – and it puts another tantalizing option in front of smartphone shoppers in 2015. If you’re shopping for an Android smartphone but you’re reluctant to be one of the millions scooping up a Galaxy S6, or you want a handset that lets you change up its look while you’re swapping in a fresh power pack, the G4 is the phone for you. Just be ready to tweak your way around its software shortcomings, and be sure to budget a little extra for the spare battery and memory card you’ll need to truly make it shine.

Like many LG phones in the past, the G4 is a showcase for the strength of the company's technological innovations. The Quad HD LCD looks incredible, and the G4 has the horsepower to drive all those pixels, unlike the G3 before it. The larger image sensor, faster lens, and dedicated color sensor make for some truly stunning still images, and the full manual camera mode opens up a lot of creative photography options. As impressive as these features are, though, none are definitively better than what's on offer with the Galaxy S6.

LG wants us to feel the great, and to that degree, they’ve succeeded in bringing the phone a new finish that’s sophisticated. But more importantly, they want us to see the great, which we can certainly agree to. While it’s not a dramatic update, the LG G4 manages to do what successive phones are required to do each and every year – and that’s to improve upon the opportunities missed with last year’s product. In that regard, we can attest that the G4 trumps the G3 in several key areas to making it a worthy successor.

The leather is certainly a nice touch, the stitching sets it apart from the Moto X to create a unique, recognizable look.

The curvature of the G4 is a nice talking point that will let you brag to your friends, though its practical advantages are pretty slim.

LG G5

The unique LG G5 is a well-crafted smartphone, which can be customized by the user using modules. There are different modules called "friends" by LG, which range from an external speaker system to a physical camera shutter button kit. Many more modules are said to be in works from 3rd party manufacturers. Design has also radically changed compared to previous G series devices with edges being extra rounded and the display glass slightly curved at the top. There is a fingerprint sensor on the rear side. You can choose between 4 colors; silver, titan, gold, and pink. The 5.3 inch IPS LCD panel is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4. The Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow system features the LG Optimus UX 5.0 UI and sports the Always-on display. There are two variants of the device and the flagship device comes with Snapdragon 820 processor, 4 GB of RAM, an Adreno 530 GPU and 32 GB of internal storage. The LG G5 is equipped with a 16 MP plus 8 MP dual camera system at the rear and an 8 MP front shooter. Other features include Bluetooth 4.2, A-GPS, USB Type-C, and an FM radio. The LG G5 will certainly appeal to users looking to customize their smartphone at hardware level.

Modular with big eyes. LG's new G5 comes with some new innovations. The smartphone is now modular and has a dual-camera. As well as the conventional lens, there is an additional wide-angle lens, but unfortunately, the resolution is pretty low. The battery capacity has also reduced.
90% LG G5 Review: Now UBER-CHEAP Via Amazon
Source: Know Your Mobile English Archive.org version
A lot of people seem non-plussed by the G5; some even claim it looks boring and lacks the charm of last year’s model. I 100% disagree with this sentiment — the G5 is a vastly superior device to what came before. It has enough new features, attributes and quirks to really stand out from the crowd in 2016 and for me is one of the most interesting releases in recent times.

The G5 is a solid phone, despite the identity it is saddled with. The fingerprint sensor is great, the camera is superb, the software much improved and the feel of the handset more than comfortable. The main trappings are there, however many didn’t get to experience them so far.

90% LG G5 Smartphone Review: A Great Phone With Dual Lens And Excellent Performance
Source: PC Quest English Archive.org version
The LG G5 has a metal body, with a separate frame and rear shell. It has dual-camera lenses which let you capture wider images than single lens as well detailed pics with natural colors in both day and night light conditions. The fingerprint sensor works smoothly and the latest USB Type-C lets you charge the device quickly. Overall it is a great bet to spend 40k, just the battery could be better.

Ambitious But Unrefined
Source: Hot Hardware English Archive.org version
The LG G5’s saving grace is the fact that its 2800mAh battery is easily replaceable on the go, a rarity for flagships in 2016. To see how it holds up against the competition, we turn to AnTuTu’s Battery Tester benchmark. This test gives phones a beating by cranking up the screen brightness and looping through a variety of workloads until their battery cries uncle.

Motorola Moto Z Force vs LG G5 – Modular Or Mods?
Source: Android Authority English Archive.org version
On the other hand, quite literally, the LG G5 has some trouble convincing us to use its modularity. And not just us, either – I personally have come across a few people recently who were using the G5 without mods. Upon asking, these people said that they didn’t ever get a Friend or use the ones that may have come with their phones. What they did enjoy was the camera package, where the wide angle shooter totally added to their picture and video taking experiences. We tend to feel the same way, as the wide angle camera is the most fun we’ve had shooting with a smartphone in a while.

The beautiful and striking LG G5 determines its unique design, particularly its modular form which certainly changes the game over time. It is yet a great update from the LG G4 and we are waiting how well could it be competing with the all-rounders like the Samsung Galaxy S7. Leave a comment and let us know about your views.

We have our doubts about the long-term success of the LG G5’s modular expansion design. This aside though, the G5 is an excellent smartphone. Trying to choose between it and the Galaxy S7 is a very difficult choice - their cameras and performance are equally matched. The S7’s screen is much brighter though, but the G5 has a slight edge in battery life.

OnePlus 3 vs HTC 10 vs Galaxy S7 Edge vs LG G5 vs Huawei P9
Source: V3.co.uk English Archive.org version
The conflict becomes even more confusing with the OnePlus 3 wading into the battle of the 2016 Android handsets. The Samsung Galaxy S7 (along with the S7 Edge) sat atop the Android tree for a long time, but it's becoming increasingly crowded down below. You can't deny the hard work that HTC, Huawei and OnePlus have put in and, while we feel that the LG G5 lags a little behind, it really is anyone's game as we march into the second half of the year.

80% LG G5 Review
Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
LG's G-series phones have always been a bit hit-or-miss, and last year's G4 (Review) fell short in some departments, particularly when it came to battery life and software. The laser autofocus wasn't quite as intuitive as we had expected either. The LG G5 has not only fixed those problems, but has gone above and beyond, resulting in a smartphone that feels like it finally has what it takes to challenge Samsung's dominance.

The LG G5 may be the most innovative smartphone of 2016, but it isn't the best. The modular design needs more thought, and the battery life should have been better. It is amongst the fastest phones in the market, though, and has a great camera. It isn't a bad buy, but we'd still choose a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge over this smartphone.

A slightly different flagship with many friends
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Many people find LG’s G5 as a risky attempt because of its striking changes from last year’s model. Undoubtedly, there is something charming about this design and additional modules. We can’t be sure though how customers will receive these novelties. There is no doubt that the fans of smartphone photography will be happy to find the camera module, bringing hardware buttons and extra battery, in the box. Actually, it seems to us that namely these aspects (camera and battery) could have been a bit better. The improvement in battery life is very subtle, but this is compensated by the quick charging thanks to the USB Type-C port and QuickCharge 3.0 technology. We can’t say it’s bad, but we expected better image quality from the 16MP camera, especially in lowlight conditions. What compensates this part is the presence of a second wide angle camera that allows you to capture appealing snapshots.

Ultimately, the G5, like the G4, ends up feeling like an upper mid-range phone rather than a true flagship. It does have a nice array of features, including a removable battery—a true rarity these days—and microSD support, along with excellent performance, but many of its features are poorly executed.

Despite a poor Android 6.0 skin, there is enough to like about the LG G5 to class it as a ‘good’ smartphone. My main issue with the device, though, is that I can’t really recommend it over the Galaxy S7 when both handsets command the same price tag. When competition is so strong, sometimes being ‘good’ just doesn’t cut it.

The LG G5 is priced like a true flagship, and on paper, is also built like one. Unfortunately, reality paints a different picture. The phone holds a lot of promise. It’s rare to find a phone that performs this well and offers so much. If only LG had taken the trouble to really work on the fit and finish of the device and put some more thought into their “primer,” this would have been a real contender for the flagship throne.

A flakily finished but futuristic flagship?
Source: Androidbeat English Archive.org version
In the past, I’ve championed devices with removable batteries, rightly and for the obvious reasons. I’ve also championed modular phones, for example the Fairphone 2, despite all its caveats. And I absolutely recognise that every form factor, every design involves some compromises. For example, needing a peel-off-back, as on the Galaxy S5. Or slide-off-screen, in the Fairphone’s case! And, in a better designed world, LG could have made the G5’s bottom section work. But trying to butt up (no pun intended!) two hard, metal sections, repeatably, with no wear, no tolerance problems causing steps and edges and sharp points, was always going to be nigh-on impossible. That’s why plastic was invented, LG, have one of the halves be an obviously different material and texture so that the user’s fingers are expecting discontinuities. Heck, have the bottom bit coated in leather, as on the G4!

LG's modular approach is bold but falls short
Source: Gizmag English Archive.org version
The LG G5 is available now at an average price of around $630 full retail in the US. That's cheaper than the offerings from HTC and Samsung so far this year, but, if you're going down that road, see if you can grab some deals on a Friend or two as well to make it better value for money. Otherwise you'll likely be paying more than better rivals to get the complete package.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 has the better hardware. It feels more substantial in the hand and can stand up to the elements - yet ironically, it's the more fragile handset. The screen is perfect and the battery life is long. It provides the better headphone audio experience (though it lost the loudspeaker challenge). The Dual Pixel autofocus is great and we would love to see it in more cameras.

The LG G5 is one of the most interesting smartphones I’ve seen since the days of the LG Optimus 3D, and for that, I find myself predisposed to liking it. The trouble with the G5 is that, although ingenious, I’m not convinced it’s enough to get consumers to switch from the tried and tested. People will still love their iPhones and Samsung Galaxy handsets no matter what LG does with its modular battery bay and accessories, simply because those phones are known quantities, and the LG G5 isn’t a big enough step forward.

Surely, LG will have it all figured out in the next version, but if you feel really compelled by the G5’s modularity, then give the phone a shot. If you’d rather play it safe, the S7 or S7 Edge are the safest bet money can buy.

Source: Expert Reviews English Archive.org version
UI flaws aside, there's no denying that the G5 is an incredibly ambitious device from LG, and it's by far the most unique smartphone I've ever tested. Initially, I had my doubts over whether departing from the G4's handsome leather looks was a wise move, but the G5's surprisingly attractive when you get up close, and its smooth metallic coating feels great in the hand. The grey model I had for review might not look quite as shiny or flashy as either of Samsung's handsets, but at least the G5's matt finish means it doesn't pick up any dirty fingerprints, which is a welcome relief after the grubby Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.

Then there the "mostly"exciting prospect of the modular Friends, too.

Source: Trusted Reviews English Archive.org version
The LG G5 is a really good phone, but in a year of really great phones it can’t quite match the impressive standard set the by the HTC 10 and Samsung Galaxy S7. It shares many of the same components – fantastic screen and high-end internals, plus a camera that tries to do something a little different. Then there the "mostly"exciting prospect of the modular Friends, too.

80% The most interesting smartphone you can buy
Source: T3 English Archive.org version
I like the LG G5 a lot, it’s a real joy to use. Not because it’s a perfect smartphone, but because it’s innovative. If you want a ‘stand out’ smartphone to make a geeky statement, the G5 is it. The modular design is interesting, and the ability to swap the battery is key for some. The innovative camera is the real winner here, with the ability to switch between normal and ultra-wide angle, really taking smartphone photography to the next level.

100% LG G5 review
Source: Stuff TV English Archive.org version
The scale of the LG G5’s ambition is breathtaking. It’s the first of a new kind of smartphone and – if the modular concept works – you can expect Apple, Samsung and the rest to spend the next couple of years scrambling to catch up with this handset. Still, we’re not in the business of giving points for potential, and of the two modules we've so far tested only one - the relatively niche Hi-Fi Plus - is worth investigating. We're hoping that more will follow, and that third-party manufacturers will get in on the act too, but until that happens the G5 needs to be able to stand on its own merits.

70% LG's appetite for risk is admirable, but doesn't pay off

We have to applaud LG for taking so many risks—overhauling battery extraction, ditching the app drawer, adding a second camera, and beating other manufacturers to the modular accessory punch. But each of these innovations is flawed to one degree or another, casting a dark shadow on a phone that otherwise does have a lot of offer.

LG G5 vs Apple iPhone 6s Plus
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
If you have no use for the still-limited portfolio of extra LG Friends module attachments, though, the G5 doesn't offer something to really set it apart from the 6s Plus in terms of everyday usage like software performance or camera quality. The iPhone has one big basic advantage, however, and that is a much better battery life, which in real life often trumps added options that you may rarely use.

LG G5 vs Samsung Galaxy S7 edge
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
There is a nearly $100 price difference between the two in favor of the more affordable LG G5. Being the more affordable one, the G5 can get away with some of its flaws in comparison with the S7 edge. If price is not a concern, though, at $800, the S7 edge is definitely the better-rounded phone in most aspects: with a better display, an actually useful Always-on feature, better battery life, and impressively fast camera.

If you’re OK with the typical trend of flat slabs, then maybe the G5 is not the phone for you. I’m not on that list though. I do agree that smartphones have become boring. I consider myself a geek, and not just of the type that would spend hours in front of a computer playing, but of the type that could assemble and disassemble it as well. For geeks like us, phones shouldn’t be average. I praise LG for trying new things with the G5, and I hope we don’t have to wait until the G6 for the hardware bugs to get polished.

What’s the best new Android phone 2016?
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
We won’t give our final verdict until we’ve thoroughly tested the HTC 10. However, it’s clear each phone has its advantages. You might like the LG G5, with its modular design, generous display size and removable battery. Alternatively, the more compact Galaxy S7 is fastest of the lot, with extras such as waterproofing, fast wireless charging, a heart-rate sensor and more common Micro-USB port. But don’t write off HTC: while the One M9 was mildly disappointing, the company has really pulled up its socks with the HTC 10, which is now a true rival to Samsung and LG and may just win you over with its fantastic design, awesome selfies and Hi-Res audio.

The LG G5 is one of the most radical phones to come along in a while and we’re glad the firm has shaken things up with the modular design. The G5 is innovative and interesting with unique features but it’s a shame the design and build feels unfinished in areas. It’s a top-notch device which can hold its own with the best phones in performance and cameras, but it’s LG’s modular design which is the real selling point here. There is bags of potential but the future of this is unclear so it’s hard to be definite right now. The G5 is one of the best phones around but for completely different reasons to the Galaxy S7.

The LG G5 is a bit of a funny one. It's giving us a glimpse of the future thanks to the modular setup, but its true potential is currently unrealized, and things could stay that way for a while as we wait for exciting, new modules to appear. Where does that leave us then? There's still a well built handset with a premium design - although not as premium as its competitors - a huge amount of power and a smart dual camera setup on the rear.

The LG G5 is set to cost $700 off contract in the USA, which is pretty typical for a flagship smartphone and the G5 is definitely on par with other flagships in the same price bracket. The G5 is a step in a completely new direction for LG and offers a brand new design, impressive dual camera array and premium software experience. At the same time, LG hasn’t quite perfected its design but for a first-generation product, the G5 has us extremely excited about what’s to come.

The G5 and Galaxy S7 are similar in many ways. However, the Galaxy S7 feels like a more premium phone. Sometimes, refinement is better than exciting new features. If you’re willing to go with a slightly bigger phone, the Galaxy S7 Edge is the clear choice. Between the G5 and Galaxy S7 I would take the latter, but it’s a close call. LG should have spent a little less time in the playground and more time in the design studio.

The LG G5 is as good as any current flagship at a time when flagships are inevitably more and more alike as makers wouldn't risk falling behind. It's hard not to appreciate LG for making the less obvious choice - probably knowing that there are easier, more obvious choices a user can make. Failure to monetize innovation certainly hurts, but failure to innovate can kill you.

Even if you have no interest in LG’s modular functionality (which is yet to prove itself worthwhile), the G5 is still well worth considering as your next full-time smartphone. The dual camera setup is brilliant, offering impressive flexibility, while performance is up there with the best. And in terms of media performance, the G5 again does its job, offering strong, striking visuals. This is also one of the few phones out there to offer a removeable battery, to keep you going on those super-long journeys.

The LG G5 is a really good phone, overall, just not the best phone at the moment. LG is introducing some interesting ideas with it, like modules and dual cameras, but the module status at the moment is pretty weak and uninteresting, while the dual camera setup creates some new use cases at the sacrifice of an appealing design. Maybe in a year LG will dial all of that in, improve the camera design or setup, and offer modules that more of us can get behind.

At the end of the review process, we're feeling kind of empty in that we can't quite place our finger on what it is that isn't feeling exactly right with the G5. Objectively, it's a competent flagship and even a decent improvement over its predecessor in some ways, but it feels like it's just way too round in character. There are no sharp edges, nothing that jumps out, no area where the G5 is, or at least appears to be, significantly better than what the competition has to offer.

If you walk into a phone shop and nab yourself a G5, then you'll have a fabulous handset that's better than most of what's available, but not by much. That's says more about how great smartphones are right now than this LG though. A supreme screen, lightning-fast processor and novel camera aren't enough to make any mobile the best by far. To spearhead the mobile vanguard, you have to either be a near-on perfect product such as the Galaxy S7 or offer something new entirely.

For dozens of reasons, predicting how well a smartphone will sell is, at best, about educated guesses. We've spent a lot of time so far talking about the G5 and what it's all about on its own, but you have to keep in mind that while it's at the core of LG's strategy, it isn't alone in the fight for customers' hard-earned cash. Throughout MWC and the weeks after, LG has been trying to stress how its ambition is to make smartphones fun again, and ignite playfulness.

LG G5

Light metal body, unique modular design, wide-angle capture In full disclosure, the LG G4 and new LG G5 that T-Mobile sent was offered as part of a special T-Mobile customer preview program (I've been with them now for almost 15 years). The units are pre-production devices, have no warranty, and cannot be sold during the program. While T-Mobile and LG encourage participants to share their experiences so the companies can gather input from actual users, there is no obligation associated with the preview program.

Everything You Should to Know About the LG G5 Smartphone
Source: Tested English Archive.org version
This phone will likely cost a bit less than the Samsung Galaxy S7, but not much. LG is stepping up the materials this year, so I'd expect to see a more premium price tag too. Maybe around $600. The attachments are also an unknown right now. If LG wants to make this modular phone concept work, it's going to need to sell them for reasonable prices.

LG G5 vs. Samsung Galaxy S7 edge
Source: Gadgetguy English Archive.org version
We think the two phones have room to cohabitate. The LG G5 holds some of the same promise that Google's Project Ara does. This, however, depends on LG and its partners actually producing interesting add-ons. Even without that the phone is great on its own, its seamless metal shell is quite impressive in person. The Samsung Galaxy S7 edge is more self-sufficient. Sure, some snap-on accessories are available, but this is good ol' Samsung - the S7 has everything and the kitchen sink (and even the sink has more features than the competition). If you're looking for low-light photography, the S7 edge is the phone for you.

LG G5 vs G4 vs. iPhone 6s vs. GoPro
Source: GSM Arena English Archive.org version
One thing is for sure, LG didn't play it safe - the LG G5 turned V10's dual-camera setup 180°. Unlike previous dual-camera setups, this one allows users to capture photos with a traditional FoV, wide-angle shots or both at the same time. We did an impromptu shootout with both G5 cameras, pitting them against various well-respected opponents.

Apple's best versus LG's new flaghip phone
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
It’s too early to give a definitive verdict on which phone is the best. The G5 should be quicker in benchmarks, and it will be interesting to see how long the battery lasts in our tests. For many people, the iPhone 6s will win because it’s an iPhone and runs iOS. But for those iPhone owners thinking of jumping ship to Android, now could be the ideal time.

Modular, metal, made for fun
Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
The LG G5 is innovative. The changeable battery - even if you never make use of any of the Friends - is a smart move and well executed. The specs of this handset stack up in a way that will appeal to many users: LG now has premium materials, but it retains memory expansion and even if that battery doesn't last long, you can switch it out.

LG G5
Source: Trusted Reviews English Archive.org version
It’s safe to say I’m impressed with the LG G5. The metal body is a step up and LG has managed a design feat at which other manufacturers have failed – retaining a removable battery and microSD slot in a phone that feels high-end. The modules I’ve seen so far are niche but they add something to the LG G5 that no other phone can lay claim to. Will they take off? I’m not entirely sold yet – we’ll have to wait and see. Regardless, it’s admirable that LG is trying something truly original.

LG G5 Review: First Impressions
Source: Ubergizmo English English Archive.org version
The LG G5 reflects a significant change in strategy for LG. The company continues to commit to excellent performance, but no longer wishes to push the limits of raw computing or camera sensor power just to win the technological race. Instead, it tries to synthesize and emphasize real-world scenarios that maximize user value.

LG brought its A-game to MWC 2016. The LG G5 is a proper head-turner with its always-on display and modular add-on concept. The handset is also big in the camera department, bringing two separate shooters with different fields of view, allowing for zooming action and some cool effects.
