Hey guys,
my G2 has been at the repair center because of mic issues and now I can chose between a new G2 or G3. Same price.
My thoughts:
- Most comparisons show G2 is faster and more smooth because of G3's QHD so G3 has to load lots of more pixels.
- Both has 3000 mAh battery so G2 lasts longer because of 1080p screen uses less power.
- I dont care about AOSP roms, so that wont be important to me.
- 5,2" screen is big enough already.
I wanted to see if anyone here has gone from G2 to G3 and if they could share their thoughts before I make up my mind?
Thanks.

Well.. Honestly, i won't lie to you, this device to me is a bit disappointing. Back then, i had the lg g2 and it was my fault fault, it fell to the ground and bam, screen was gone. So a few months later after using an older device i decided to make the switch to the g3. Being very satisfied with the g2, i thought, what could possibly go wrong?
I'm happy with everything except for the lag. The lag has really gotten to me lately and sometimes i really get so angry i just wanna toss it to the ground and stomp it with my shoes.
Funnily enough, i tried an aosp rom, while it was smooth as butter, i only had 2 hour screen on time. Somehow i like the lg g3's feature's though. So i really don't know what to tell you. I, myself, am not that happy with it. It's really frustrating. I wish i had picked the m8 back then (at the cost of probably battery life) or just re-bought/repaired the g2 which was nearly half the price of my g3, more responsive with hardly any if any lag at all. Now i've gotta suck it up.
p.s: i'm on Android L and really.. i thought by now we'd have **** sorted out. Whatever..

Thanks for the honesty.
There were only few months between G2 and G3 launch, your experiences and others I read online makes me think even more that the G2 is a better choice.
I think the lag is because of the QHD screen. The CPU can't process all those pixels fast enough. My guess is that upcoming 808 and 810 CPU will have everything a lot more optimized but 1080p will remain best for battery.
Yeah I agree with you, with AOSP roms you often get horrible battery life not to mention aweful camera but you give up all the stock features and of course also stability. Dont bother AOSP because you always go back to stock roms.
I think the G3 features are the same as G2. G2 has wireless storage by default which G3 dont for example. And there are G3 ported ROMs to G2 which has 0 bugs and has even given me better battery than G2 stock roms.
I will go pick up a new phone tommorow, so far I am leaning towards getting another G2. Anyone who advice me not to do so, please say so and why
IMHO...when I first got my G3 D855 32GB. What a beauty! And then wtf it's not much different from my G2 with CloudyG3 ROM. But the QHD screen blew me away. Who care about how many SOT ...there are so many option for charging. Extra batteries option and power bank with QI charger..simply put it together in the pocket or will charge..so there....my G2 is handled down to my 9 year old. Now I never want to use the G2 anymore. And beside that. GPS locks instantly on G3 and NFC work perfectly. Till now I still can't get NFC working on G2. I definitely go for G3.

Both battery and performance mate.
Compare G2 and G3 booting up speed, using the browser, launcher redraws etc. You will see how the G2 wins the race.
So in actuality. For a QHD you are giving up battery life & performance.. Now tell me who does not care about that
But hey, prove me wrong if I am wrong. I am here to learn.

Maybe i wouldn't care if the device didn't lag AS much. It's like, okay, fire up google chrome, get on a site and then it freezes, then you hit the home button, takes another 2 seconds to load up the main screen. Aight, i checked the weather, lets go back to the browser, go to another site and the **** fest begins. It's just so frustrating. I've been even thinking of just using my nexus 4 again.
I don't get why aosp can run so fluently, i'm talking MEGA FAST and the stock g3 can't. It's either optimization, that, or it's really too much for the cpu to handle g3's added features at stock resolution. I think i will leave this thread alone. This all is starting to remind me of how i bought my htc one x back then just to end up mad.
edit op: @ this point isn't it better you just wait to see what will soon be coming out in the market?

From G2 to that hahaha.
My G2 is on warranty and since they have not fixed the issue they allow me to chose a new product from the same price range. I am split between G2 and G3.
Anyway, I have said my thoughts. Will keep a close eye on the thread and hopefully more who jumped from G2 to G3 will stop by to reply :fingers-crossed:
There are apps to change your screen resolution from 1440p to 1080p if you feel it's hurting your battery life or is causing lag. Honestly, unless the size of the phone(which isn't that much bigger) just really bothers you, I don't know why you wouldn't take the upgrade.
I didn't own a G2. But comparing a nexus 5 vs G3, the G3 indeed has some hickups here and there, but it's not as problematic as it was mentioned above. My phone is fluid and runs everything without any problems. Again it's not nexus5 fluid, but as far as i know neither is the G2.
I have owned g2 and g3 for a while ( g2 for more than 6 month, g3 for 1 month). I installed cloudy g3 on both devices.
I won't consider g3 as an up-grade. G2 just runs faster on a day to day basis.( opening apps, browsing). And battery life does matter to me( and most people), g3 really sucks when compare to g2 ( usually 6 ~7 Screen on time).
G3 has better display and a faster camera. But display and camera on g2 is also very good and is more than what I need ( or most pepple needs).
Personally I would trade or sell my g3 in a few more weeks and try to get a Nexus 6.
BTW, when compare to HTC M8, g3 lags like ****.( personal experience)
M8 is by far the most responsive and least touch latency phone I ever seen/used ( not sure about iphone 6)
I had G2. Then M8. Hated camera. Got G3. Happy with the choice until a couple months in. The m8 is much better. The only thing is that 4 ultra pix got on my nerves and I just got it signing contract I let it get to my head. But it always hit 1. In benches. Pics were fast and looked great. But like I said I thought since g2 was great id be happier with g3. Nope. Lol. I love G3. But HTC is sweet. So I'm buying m9. It will be what the M8 should be been in my opinion.

Don't get the G3, it's almost at EoL (End of life). It's an excellent device, but as others stated, batter and lag are unacceptable for a flagship device. Especially after LG released the G2 & N5.
I'd suggest waiting for the asus Zenfone 2 or the LG Flex 2, they should be released in the coming few months.

Yeah I'm the class clown :angel:
The 801 in the G3 is superseded now by the 805 & 810. The device itself is being superseded by the Flex 2. So yeah, it at EoL. Mobiles are not like before, they keep improving every 6 months or so, PC's are the same but slightly slower.

End of life in my book means no official LG update support will be issued anymore for a device. CPU`s get updated all the time but that doesn`t mean the 801/805 doesn`t do the job well anymore.
I keep my G3 fairly minimal with apps so my phone is always fast and responsive. I really dont understand what the others are talking about. QHD screen doesnt in fact impact battery life, but Lollipop currently has worse battery life than KitKat. 3 gigs of RAM really add up in the performance department, I guess others just dont realise it. When I was buying phone, I was leaning to buy G2, but in the end I went for the G3 because of removable battery and expandable storage (and what a beauty it is too). I dont regret buying it at all. I was in dilemma between M8 and G3, went for G3, very satisfied. Only reason I keep it rooted to remove that oversharpening. One thing you should know too that G3's sreen has bad black color. It is so lighted it is more of a gray than black. You can try it out and see for yourself.
I've had both the G2 and the G3, and while the G2 was a great phone, I prefer the styling and camera of the G3. There are some stutters here and there but nothing major for me. I saw stutters on the G2 as well. Battery life also isn't an issue for me. I can usually get 4-5 hours of SoT, which is fine for 1 day's use. As long as it can get me through the day then that's what matters. Go G3!
If most of you stayed with KitKat, at least until lollipop is sorted out and doesn't suck, then tweaked the heck out of KitKat then none of you would be moaning.
My battery life is great, only sleep problems mainly stemming from google play service, but I can surf the net with 45% brightness for around 5-6 hours, depending on sites visited(media-heavy sites bring it down a bit). Lag is now almost gone and the phone really flies.
Can you expand storage on a G2 ?
This was one of my main reasons for dumping the nexus line and getting a G3, I now have a 64gb class 10 card in there and its bloody wonderful. No more deleting apps or music to squeeze a game or album on, like I had with my nexus 4.
Speaking of nexus 4, this G3 spanks it to death for speed, screen, expansion, options. Roms are better on nexus 4 but then it is 3 years old. I still love it and it still looks sexy for its age, but this G3 phone's screen is night and day better.
Perhaps if we all posted our tweaks we could help each other out, but lately I've noticed that not many are interested.
Nexus 6 isn't without its own problems, heck just read some threads on this forum. My G3, along with its contract, cost me nearly half of what the N6 would have cost me over 24 months.
LG should have some responsibility in this because its their damn crappy software that is most of the cause of this. And, I bet like a few here, I kind of get the feeling that LG may quietly drop this phone as soon as G4 hits the market.
I still own the G2 and currently using the G3. As others have stated the most drawback for me is the battery life. with the G2 i use 2days with 67 SOT in single charge. but with the G3 i'll use 1.5days with 5-6 SOT, but i have to charge it every night. and about the lag. honestly, it doesn't matter. waiting few miliseconds. :silly: phone is bit huge. ummm... design is way more better than the G2. oh and the camera is a huge improvement. No need to talk about the QHD display here! it's a badass. :good: the best of G3 expansion of memeory. 3GB ram. those are obviously plus points when comparing with G2. but G2 will beat the G3 in battery life and smoothness. other than that G3 is ok. Battery life is a hugh drawback for me btw!

Dears LG G3 Owners ,
With LG G3 16GB price is very good now around 430USD for the 16GB/2GB Version , Shall i buy it ? is it worth the upgrade as i am already a G2 owner , the 32GB/3GB version is still very expensive and it will cost me extra 100USD which is very much
Is the QHD screen differ a lot from the FHD and worth the upgrade ?! or it's the same experience.
I just got my G2 4 months ago an i really love it so much and happy with it on every aspect
Does the 2GB RAM version runs good with the QHD or the Processor and RAM struggles
i watched almost every review from every popular site on YouTube and still can't decide :silly:
so please inform me with the Pros and Cons for the G3 specially the 16GB/2GB version
Appreciated your always help
Thanks
Honestly, if you are satisfied with G2, its not worth it.
Stick with G2 little but and get Snapdragon 810 device next year.
I find it never worthwhile to upgrade to the next flagship device
G2 to G3
S4 to S5
Note 3 to Note 4
And so on the specs are never worth the upgrade
Always skip a generation and its a real upgrade
The absolute worst so far has got to be the Z2 to Z3 practically nothing changed anyone going from a Z2 to a Z3 is just throwing money away
Just my 50 Cents
Stick with the G2 man, stick with it. I had one and picked up the G3, and am not happy with it. It's actually still sitting in the plastic still since LG fixed my cracking issue, and am back on my M8.
So you all agree that it doesn't worth the upgrade.
I intend to use it as another phone with another SIM side by side with the G2 , Sadly that LG doesn't have a decent Dual SIM Phone, or if i found that i really don't need to carry 2 phones i will sell the G2 and keep the G3
i guess i might keep the money for now and waiting for the next generation.
if you have any other recommendations i will be glad to hear it
Thanks All

Not available in entire Middle East First time to hear about it
Im going to totally contradict my previous comment
Even though i say its not worth the upgrade i am one of those guys who just wants the next best thing
I never had a LG device but i bought my daughter the G2 last christmas and instantly fell for the device
Once i heard The G3 was out and had a QHD screen i just wanted it
I had a Note 3 (Loved this phone) found someone looking to swap for a Z2 so i did for a change (didn't like the Z2 at all poor dev support visible touch screen panel not very responsive screen)
Then just last week someone looking to swap G3 for a Z2 couldn't believe my luck

i am thinking the same way , why not getting the LG flagship device while it's cheap and still great and later search for a deal to sell the G2 so the upgrade is done for a few money
do you have the 16GB/2G RAM or 32GB/3GB RAM , How do you compare it to the G2 once you have both in your hand
found a Z3 Dual SIM for a good deal around 550USD brand new sealed , but what LG managed to do adding a 5.5" screen in same size as Z2/Z3 is amazing and let me think a lot before getting a Xperia device
It's really hard to decide
The size of the G3 is great in your hand feels smaller somehow because of the curved back
I have the 16Gb version haven't really stress tested it yet but i just love looking at some QHD sample videos on the 5.5" display its like porn for my eyes
Lots of folk complaining about the camera but i find it excellent especially with laser focus
I cant really compare to the G2 as i haven't used it much like i say it is my daughters phone
Overall im very happy with it and will stick with it till im due a new contract in October 2015

Thanks for your feedback , i meant for daily usage and common used applications is there is any lags or delay in touch or something like that ?! few reviews said that the device struggle and overheat sometimes due to high screen resolution "2GB RAM Version" and it's better to get the 3GB RAM , although the 3GB RAM performance was just 5~10% more than the 2GB version which isn't huge
Also already tried a G3 port to my G2 and everything was working fine , i noticed that the RAM consumption is a little bit high than regular G2 ROM so this is why asking is the G3 2GB have same behavior ?!
Only issues ive noticed is the default sms app lags but this is only an application problem as 3rd party apps work fine
phone has heated up once with excessive camera use but not with general use throughout the day
screen does have an over sharpened look to it (hopefully be fixed with lollipop update)
Ive only had the device a few days so not really looked into ram consumption don't tend to do this unless i have lag issues which i have had none (other than sms app) so its performing well by my books
Hard to tell if using QHD display for a long period of time will cause heating issues as most videos are quite short

so you so far happy with device performance , camera and screen overall
the first impression is important and since the device is new in your hand and you like it so this is good , sometimes you buy a new device and feel that you shouldn't bought it if you know what i mean
What about battery life ?!
will try to get a good price for the 3GB/32GB version , or may wait till Lollipop hit the G2 and see .
It's really amazing and so tempting what LG is doing fitting the screen in the smallest body

Very important question , What about the Sun/Outdoor Visibility ?!
Is it good and the auto brightness manages to bright the screen enough to be visible or it's hard to use screen in sunlight ?!
Ive been using g2 since the moment it was released, It was a scary change after 5 different samsung flagships and a nexus 4. So far i am so satisfied, i don't even want a new phone.
A friend of mine has the 32gb G3, and of boy that phone is so slow. It stock unrooted, i even factory reset it, still slow.
Lile really laggy and touch input take time to react. Annoying.
Knock knock is also hit and miss there, and battery sucks.
I'm keeping my G2 until a proper phone is found. My only gripe with the g2 us the camera, and i could used 300 mah more, but i enjoy it as it is as well.
My vote : don't go close to G3. Wait until there is something without compromise.
G3 is nice upgrade to g2. Sd card, much faster camera, removable battery, better plastic, bigger and overall better screen and it will be on lolipop soner. Only thing that is better on g2 is battery. G3 is very decent upgrade unlike many flagships..
The biggest g3 problem is poor auto lightning and to many haters that never used it more than few moments or never..
Hello friends,
It`s the time of the year to get a new phone.
My options are LG G3 and Nexus 6.
I have been using Moto X until now but the battery in Moto X 2nd Gen seems to be crap and guess i will miss active display and droid is not available in my region

I am waiting to see the responses you get. I, too, am thinking of getting a new phone. I am still using the Nexus 4. The LG G3 can be had for quite a bit cheaper (at least on AT&T) right now. It is $480 vs. $650 for the Nexus 6.
Hi, I have both.
G3 a little lag, worst camera
N6 less lag, worst battery, and personally I don't like that much the screen, and way too big

I thought the G3 was supposed to have a pretty good camera? It seems everything I read contradicts something else I've read. The battery life is good, the battery sucks. The screen is amazing, the screens nothing special. There's tons of lag, there isn't really any lag. I don't know what to think.

Worst camera than N6, but it's a decent one.
I prefer IPS rather than Amoled, so for me, better screen the G3.

The G3 has an excellent camera. It rivals the iPhone 6 and beats the iPhone 5s.
I would personally take the G3 over the Nexus 6. The G3 has expandable memory and a removable battery. It's also smaller and lighter and it feels better in your hand. The Nexus 6 is just too big as well. Beyond 5.5" phones become too big IMO.

Thanks everyone for your replies on this.
I don't mean to hijack this thread from OP, but would like opinions if it's ok.
I'm torn between going ahead and buying the G3 at it's current AT&T price of $480 (using Next), or waiting on some of the new models that are coming out. Specifically, the Galaxy S6, the HTC M9, the Flex 2, and finally the Asus Zenfone 2. All of those, with the exception of the Zenfone 2, will be at least $650 I presume, therefore the G3 is quite a bit cheaper. So, I'm not sure if the features of these new devices is worth waiting and paying more, or should I just go ahead and get the G3 now with it's $480 price tag?
Thanks again everyone.
My friend has also asked for my opinion whether he should buy a phone now or wait for the next flagships and my advise is : wait for it. The first few new phones should appear in stores in mid March - April, as Snapdragon 810 appears it might be worthwhile to wait for it as it supports 64bit vs the current 32bit.
Anyway, my opinions for OP's question is to go for the Nexus 6. I currently have a LG G3 and i find that its battery sucks (i came from a HTC Butterfly S and LG G2, im quite a heavy user (games, reddit, whatsapp and calls) and my screen on time at most is only maybe 3 to 3 and a half hours at best, while my Butterfly S was able to reach around 5-6hours vs my LG G2 4-5hours. I find that the 2K screen is not worth the battery life at all, its barely comparable with just a Full HD screen, and the processor cant handle it properly.
Camera is fantastic. HTC Butterfly S's camera utilises Ultrapixels (the same as the HTC One M7 and M8) and the G3 beats it completely. It takes miliseconds to snap a photo.
The LG G3 LAGS. Its not the kind of lag you get when you use a low end phone, its more like...microlags. For example - my LG G2 and LG G3 was at one point both running Resurrection Lollipop Rom, and while the LG G2 was really fast and fluid, the G3 feels different, everything seems slower and abit jaggedy, though its not visible ; more like as a gut feeling. Its more like the processor is struggling to handle the screen resolution itself, and somewhat succeeds though not entirely.
If i were you i would go for the Nexus 6, though the price and expandable storage takes some consideration.

1. Batterylife on the G3 is better then with the Nexus 6
2. Tried the new 20H firmware? No lag for me on that rom and i have many apps running in the background.
Just my 2 cents but i think besides your allready mentioned considerations the G3 is the better device because of the many usefull extra features it offers next to barebone android N6.

1. I somehow doubt it with my usage, Nexus 6 is AMOLED too which saves even more battery than G3's IPS screen.
2. Hmm ill try it now, though currently trying CloudyG3. Its not the number of apps it can run, the lag happens during more of its animations even when theres no apps in the background.
I'd choose G3, the nexus 6 is way big for me. The most important is I like the G3 outlook, it's gorgeous
And what about choosing between Sona Z3 vs HTC M8? Or other alike candidate (Samsung is not an option)?
Hello All!
I currently have a G2 on ATT. I had bought a used G3 about 6 months ago and was disappointed in battery life and performance- felt it was a little stuttery. My best friend has 2 G3s and claims I had a defective one as he gets great battery and performance. G2 is a great device but I am just getting bored with it.
I was curious how this phone is holding up a year after its release and if performance has gotten better with Lolipop? How is the battery life doing these days?
Lastly, any clue as to why the tmobile variant is so much more expensive than any other? Seems to be about $100 more than the att, verizon, us cellular, and sprint versions. Even though I am on ATT, I want the Tmobile version because of the QI charging (and not crappy pma) and the unlocked bootloader. I should still get LTE on the ATT network with a tmo phone yes?
Im hoping with the impending g4 release, prices on the g3 will fall sharply and I can give it a shot again.

It's hard to change from G2 to any other phone since G2 has the best battery life (Droid Turbo is probably only phone which has better battery life).
If I was you, I would stick with G2 until prices of G4 drops down, then buy G4. six more months wont kill you and G2 is still a beast phone.
Even i own G3 and I love it, I dont consider G3 an upgrade over G2 (upgrade is something that works better and works properly.) G3 still has some errors which can be fixed by rooting, but G4 hasn't got any of those errors and is even better than G3.
But if you really got some extra cash that bothers you, you can buy G3.
I recommend sticking with the g2. I switched carriers and was forced to buy the g3(g2 not available on us cellular) and performance/battery life is hard to get used to when coming from a g2. In my experience the lollipop update made battery life worse. If you are bored with it just try a new ROM until the price on the g4 drops.

You might also install custom LG's rom which will provide faster and more responsive OS. (like CloudyROM or Androidnow HD G3)
Everyone is telling you to wait for the G4 but it will have even worse battery than the G3 due to its larger screen size (since battery life seems to be your main concern)
I had the G2 (loved it) and now have the G3 and a year later it seems to be running smoother than when i just purchased it. and with the one year mark approaching i will be buying a new battery (cant do that with the G2) although i can go a full day with one charge.
Camera is better than G2
Screen is larger and better res than G2
Processor is better
Ram is better
Expandable memory
replaceable battery
Did i mention wireless charging?
and IMO it looks better than the G2
So you decide. :good:
P.S
bootloader is not an issue, it can be bumped and have custom roms on any variant.

I had the att version g3 and sold it for these reasons:
- locked bootloader so no custom roms (at the time)
- laggy , stuttering performance
- poor battery life
- stupid pma wireless charging instead of qi standard
As in understand it, the bootloader for att and other variants has been bypassed and now there are custom roms.
Now that there are custom roms, is the overall over heating, lag, and stuttering been fixed? I have no problem rooting and exploring new roms and tweaks.
I can buy the t-mobile version to enable standard qi wireless charging. Will I get lte on att using the d851 t-mobile version?
Battery life may be better now with custom roms amd now that I know how to use greenify and read battery stats better. Or I can get an extended battery as I don't mind a thicker phone.
I predict the g3 will drop to the $250 range soon and for that price it seems worth it.
Thoughts?

The G4 has the same size screen as the G3.
I have had the G3 since launch day, coming from a G2, and it still looks in brand new condition without ever using a case. I have the while model, so you can't see fine scratches on the back like a dark glossy phone. Absolutely no hairline scratches on the display either, and with custom ROMs performance is fantastic.

You're absolutely right. I think i meant larger than the G2
but even though the G3 and G4 have the exact same screen
it manages to drain battery faster than the G3

Which roms do you recommend? There are a few lg specific features I really enjoy like qslide apps. I have cloudy on my g2 and like it a lot. Should I stick with cloudy or what else do you recommend?

Jasmine ROM is a great stock-based ROM. I'm on BlissPop which is an AOSP 5.1.1 ROM, so no LG apps.

Best bet is stick to cloudy, buttery smooth and will let you keep all the lg features you like (ie.Qslide)
Well I bit the bullet and bought an "excellent condition" (so says the ad) LG G3 D851 for tmobile for $200! It doesnt have a charger and is missing the back camera lens (a $10, 3 minute fix), but all the other pictures look great. I checked the iemei with Tmobile by using their tool and talking to their chat and they say it is clear.
Right now it is on simple mobile which I assume means it is unlocked already right?

If T-Mobile gave you the OK with the IMEI it should be unlocked and ready for activation.

They said the imei was clear, but would not give me an unlock code. They said I have to have an account with them to request it or the original account holder has to request it. If it is not already unlocked I will buy an unlock code.

If you already bought the phone and they cleared the IMEI just sign up for one of their plans and they will provide the unlock code. no need to purchase a code first.
I'm telling you from experience, i bought a nexus4 a couple years back and was locked on T-Mobile took it to AT&T (My carrier at the time) and they provided an unlock code. didn't have to buy one. They were both GSM phones though, i don't know if that matters.
Hi,
I am interested in buying the G3 for £200 (G4 too expensive) are there any major drawbacks or reasons why I shouldn't get it? I previously owned an LG Spirit 4G and LG G Pad 7 (still have it :victory both of which I liked but the Spirit 4G was a bit slow hence want to go for something better.
On a side note does the G3 have Glance View, double tap to wake...? And how are LG with updates for flagships, will Android 6.0 be the last, is firmware stable?
Thanks

The G3 doesn't have glance view, but it does have double tap to wake, LG are good when it comes to releasing updates at least to it's flagships. I am on Marshmallow and it is a huge improvement in battery life, my phone was unplugged and sat in my pocket most of the time for 1hr and a half with the brief reading of some new articles and I have 0% battery loss. The UX is smoother. As for future updates who knows, the hardware is capable it just depends on LG's marketing of their future phones. At that price I would say go for it, if it were me the only keep back would be at this stage I would want a phone with a fingerprint reader.

That sounds good. What I really love about LG is the features in the software (little things like the clip tray-does the G3 have that?). It would be nice to see what other people say as well-I want as much info as possible.
My last 2 phones have been the g2 and g3 and i will say both have had there flaws some bugs along the way but both being rooted and modded just right. Best 2 phones ive ever owned stock they eat battery they over heat they lag but most custom roms have solved most of if not all bugs i prfer stock roms on the g3 over non. Due to camera quality. And a few otber things but over all you wont be to disapointed

Battery Life?
How would you guys rate the battery life? I'm guessing it'd be the weakest point of the phone with the 2K display. Can you get a day out of it with moderate use?
I use for texting and light browsing atarting at. About 7 am til 5 pm then basicly wear it out on wifi games music web randoms sheet from there on out til about midnight and usally got about 20% left but im rooted fulmics stock based rom running xceed kernal also undervolted 10ma screen britness about 50% under auto britness getting 6 to 6.5 hours of total screen on time
Battery Life is not the strongest Part oft the G3.
With average usage and deactivated NFC/Bluetooth/GPS and Display on 100% Brightness (i like it very lighty, but i have readen in this forum the most users use the phone with less Brightness) i have to charge the phone every day at night, so i would say after a 12-13 hrs average usage its low. If the Brightness is lower maybe 15hrs. I wouldn't expact more, but nowadays you have more possibilities to charge (in the car, at the office, on the notebook) so its not very a big point for me personally.

For previous stock-roms your issus are true. But the new MM-rom is the fastest, smothest, stablest and the one with the best battery live I ever had on this phone. :good:

Battery life is moderate on Lollipop, but I have Marshmallow for 3 days now and it has improved immensely, my phone was idle for 1hr & half and I experienced 0% battery loss
I love my G3 on Marshmallow. It is simply flying. LG has done a fantastic job. But honestly at this time (that is 2 years after release of the flagship) I will recommend you not to buy it. Don't misunderstand. Though it's an absolutely brilliant device, keeping future proofing in mind, I will suggest to wait for G4 prices to drop further or consider other options. Of course our xda community will keep on supporting this device for a long time. But AOSP lacks certain LG features like knock code, Stock Camera performance (certain apps come close) and battery life takes a hit. So considering all these factors, I will advise against buying a G3

Yes the G3 has the clipboard which I love, also little things like the caller app that pops up at the top without kicking you out of the app you were using, or how you can respond to text messages without leaving the screen you were in. The adjustable keyboard is awesome, and once rooted you can fix little issues like allowing all apps to function in dual screen mode

Hmmm I see what you mean. I actually never realised it is two years old, probably because it just turned 2016. I have been looking at the G4 but it is at least £270 (cheapest I have found), which isn't too bad but it is a bit high for me. But I am definitely keeping an eye on it. :cyclops:

Yes! My LG Spirit 4G also had those features! This is why I am going for LG.
I bought D851 from ebay, and I find its very lagy (more evident when you play games - temple run e.g) and also i noticed web page loading is very slow (even on wifi) - I am comparing these parameters to Amazon firephone (which i find is way faster). Do you think it has something to do with this particular phone or it is general problem with this phone. I am thinking to return this phone.
thanks.
PS. did want to create another thread.

I never ended up buying the G3 (don't know what I was thinking), I have the OnePlus X which will receive android upgrades and has flagship specs. But from my experience with LG (mid range phone/tab) I would like to say that their UI is generally quite laggy and choppy hence it could be software?
I don't mean to criticise the G3 as it is a very good phone, but with the G5 around the corner (next month) it is not worth buying anymore.
@ ethereal123 I would return it if I were in your position.
Hey everyone,
I have an option to return my Z2 to Amazon for full refund, and i am thinking buying either G3 or G2 or Samsung S5 so i will use it for some months and then switch to Nubia Z11 when it's out and give this one to my gf or stay with it, we will see.
I noticed that in Gsmarena, the endurance of G3 is lower than G2 (http://www.gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3 - with 2 hours talking, 3 hours browsing, 2 hours video), i assume because of the screen. Do you manage to have a 2days battery with it? My Z2 can do that without a problem at the moment.
I can find G3 32GB the same price as G2 but i am thinking what's the best in general. The S5 goes a bit more expensive, but it has also the water-proof capability that its something nice too. The size of G3 versus G2 its something i am concerned, but it has better specs ofc.
Ty in advance for any possible help
I can't answer yours specific questions, but I own both and regarding the differences between G2 and G3:
G3 have a better battery life. I usually get more than 5 hours of screen time + 2 hours talking. I use the phone a lot so I can't say if will hold for 2 days or not. Depend on your use, I guess.
G2 feels smooth while G3 it's kinda laggish. Feels like G2 have better specs. Both are running custom rom and I have the G3 version with 2GB of RAM.
The size difference is not even noticeable.
Pictures are better on G3, but both have good cameras.
But that's just my opinion about the two phones and I'm not a "heavy tester" either.
You should definitely go with G3. Only point in which G2 is probably better is battery and not by much. In all other aspects G3 is better device and it is still officially supported. G3 already recieved Marshmallow 6.0 whereas G2 is mentioned not to be supported further than Lollipop. Especially if you can get both for same price, it should be a no brainer which device you should pick up.
If size is what matters to you the most, rather go for G2 than S5.
Galaxy S5 is utter trash. It was trash since the day it was released. Don't get it, you will regret it as soon you boot up the phone.
Thank you for your replies
In my case I went from 2GB G2 to 3GB G3 and G3 is much faster but G2 is more fluid. G2 doesn't drop as many frames as G3 but G3 is faster. Battery is same for me.

Ive ownboth and other than the screen and camera bein better and sd slot id run my g2 any day of the week. I have the sprint g2 with fm radio unlocked so i can use the sim slot on almost any carrier and my g3 is att and i really dont like it as much as my g2 but rooted and tweaked out g3 runs a little better but for the price go with the g2
Have both and can tell you the G3 is the better phone.
MM is really good and is about to be released officially.
U can also turn off QHD which transforms the phone into a G2 with SD, removable battery, insane battery life and larger screen!
When you're ready you can turn QHD back on to watch movies etc....
Its not bad at all. I'm using it stock and is really fast especially with animations all turned off
This is coming from someone who loved his G2 to death
