LG G3 **discussion**

So my N5 is slightly dead after an encounter with a puddle. Everything works fine, except the charging port.

There's my excuse to upgrade! But it all depends when this will actually be available, would rather not be without a phone for too long!
 
turning out to be a bit meh.. and I bet it would be a side-grade from n5.

will probably wait till next years flagships and hopefully get something with 5-5'2 screen..

I'm inclined to agree. ATM I'm quite happy with my N5 as it's fast and fluid however the battery life is extremely average. I carry a portable Anker battery just to make sure it lasts until the end of the day.

I just hope my shiny new gadget syndrome doesn't take a grip and I end up succumbing to the LG G3 :o

All these differing reports, we'll know for sure tomorrow.

I'm really interested in seeing how the new LG UI will work on the S801 coupled with the QHD screen.

Secondly how far LG's optimisations in respect of battery will go to run the QHD screen.

Same boat as I'm in really, I'm hoping that overall either the G3 or the S5 prime will give me a valid reason to upgrade.

The average battery life and camera are the only things letting me down on the Nexus 5 really. The lack of microSD is very annoying, but I knew what I was getting into when I bought the phone I guess. My train of thought is that if one of the two new phones does everything well, then overall it will be enough of an upgrade to make it worthwhile, even if each category isn't a massive change.

With the rumours of the S5 "Prime" being 5.2" with a S805, I may hold out for that.

If it even exists!

this is my only hope right now lol, I've got an itch that needs to be scratched but if I don't feel like G3 is worth upgrading to then s5 prime might be the thing for me..

As it's been said many times before here in this forum the mobile industry has hit a plateau in terms of technology and the innovations aren't as breathtaking as before.

I agree that if the so called S5 Prime or G3 do everything well and marginally improve on the Nexus 5 then it'll be enough to justify an upgrade.

The size of the G3 does worry me and having owned the G2 previously it stuttered ever so slightly compared to the N5 which as you know is blisteringly fast and fluid.

The only thing I missed was the G2 battery which was epic. I'm eager to find out how the new LG UI will perform with the S801 processor and if indeed whether it is fluid or laggy or resource heavy as Touchwiz.

I had a go with the S5 yesterday in a Three shop and I managed to make it stutter here and there, but the screen was to die for. Very vibrant and detailed, a GPe version of the S5 would be very tempting for me, even more so than the Prime.

I've read an article on Anandtech about the S805 chip and at this current time apparently it lacks the ability to run LTE on it which would severely hamper any forthcoming "Prime" versions of the S5 and HTC M8.

Surely LG want to sell as many of these as possible. So why make it so bloody big.

Because the Western market isn't the only one, and the Eastern half of our planet apparently wants bigger screens.

It irks me that manufacturers keep upping the size (particularly when there is no obvious reason, Samsung), but if the global market wants bigger screens, they're going to keep pushing them out. I wish more manufacturers would push slightly smaller alternative flagships which had similar specs, but clearly don't compute. It looks odd to us in the UK, but in the East this is what is demanded, and while the East is the booming technological economy, the East will have the majority say.

Personally I don't mind the size so long as screen sizes it stay at around 5.5". Any larger and I'll start ignoring them. After 5.5" start working to keep the size and add things like front-facing speakers (I'm already annoyed only 2 of the flagships this year have them).

Have 2 sizes, 5" and 5.5" flagships, 1080p and 1440p and everything else the same.

I wouldn't mind it if they had two versions..

but now

oppo - massive
lg - massive
samsung - OK-ish
m8 - OK ISH bar rubbish(imo) camera

etc etc.. there's no CLEAR winner..

I hope motorola pulls something out of their pockets and keeps the screen at 5" ..

They should play it smart like Samsung then, with the S and Note line.

They are nowhere near as successful as Samsung - surly they must wonder why!

While we wait on the Note 4, the S line doesn't look that much smaller. Obviously it's smaller than the M8 and Z2, but not by all that much, and they both pack that one obvious feature the S5 is sorely missing.
