hello all. im in a little bit of dilemma here.
im ex galaxy s2 owner, fell in water for 45mins (superb phone, RIP) and im about to sign my new contract.
price range is like this with me, its eighter HTC one X (int,quad) or LG p880 4x HD.
price difference is minimal for my contract. (htc slihgtly more expensive)
Now the thing is. i love more edgy phones (which LG is, reminds of my s2 <3) but since im not ultra rich i wld like my phone
to whitstand loads of monts of heavy use. and i know, HTC makes some really good finishes on their phones.
When u look at specs, basicly the same, 720p screen, similar shooters, same RAM, same tegra 3..
So, honestly, check the specs of LG and tell me, what would you choose if you were buying one of these 2 now?
and no, i dont want ANY OTHER phones. nor do i have the money, nor does my provider offer.
Anyways, thank you for any opinions.
One X all the way development and the quality of the device is way ahead

thanks for reply. thats what im thinking myself, lets see what others say
One X. No question about that. You're on xda and this is all about development. 4X has nothing.

yep my sister has 4XHD but i didn't found something really for it...and the phones is still on 4.0.3 ....ok it has larger battery and my sister said she has good battery life but yea ok screen development etc is nothing compared to our hox
I own both as you can see from my signature and i can tell you ..
1. HOX has a little better screen-color, saturation but i do not like HOX screen because the glass is like mirror if you use phone outside and need really pop up your screen brightness -> battery drain as hell
2. Battery time differences when you actually use phone are almost the same, some times better with 4X some times better with HOX (i do not play games - only movies, web browsing, sms and calls, photos (HOX camera is battery drain in comparation with 4X)) - but standby time is better for HOX
3. HOX build quality is better, my LG 4X is 6 mounts younger than HOX but have cracking sound and looks like 6 mounts older than HOX actually , HOX is stable regarding screen replacement-my fault (i must say i do not use protection cases and screen protectors)
4. Must say that 4X with JB have done a good job with camera..better pics than HOX, especially closeup photos- Really without complaining!
5. Must also say that 4X JB update is first android and LG user interface that i do not wont to change, you really have much options for personalization and also much user intuitive than HOX
6. HTC push Flash player app on HTC even in JB for web browsing, 4X UI have landscape mode for home screen and app drawer without using a custom launcher!
7. For developers ..probably HOX is better..But 4X also have support, 4X JB source code is released from LG, CM nightly is here allreday, and actually flashing custom ROMs it is much simpler for LG 4X - just need actually rom manager from play store, and just put desired rom file to sd card, and much more simpler to go back to stock-just flash .kdz or .dz, and you can root 4X without unlocking bootloader and using custom recovery which you must do with HOX because of S-ON!
8. HOX after JB update support usb OTG natively - LG 4X as it seems have hardware limitation even if that function is enabled with some apps or hacks..
So i can not advise you what to buy because - your needs->your phone but i can say that after several months of usage i choose to use HOX for testing and developing and 4X for every day use, using 4X on daily base is for me much happier and easier experience!
Hmmm. So my thoughts exactly.. LG maybe better for daily use, but not a really awesome build quality..
donno. well, im goin to pick one of these up today. i quess ill just test them both there and see. will let you know what i chose
In my group of friends there are three 4X's and one, mine, One X, so I've done quite an extensive comparison over the time and I can tell you without being biased by my love for the HOX, the HOX is a better phone. You get a better designed/built phone with a better display. Photos are better on the 4X but the video shooting and camera options go for the One X. Sense is better than whatever the LG skin is named and we'll get Sense 5 in the future. Last but not least the One X has way more active development that is very important when choosing a phone for people like me, I don't know about you but it probably is important to you
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium HD app
im back from shop with HOX!
i compared them there, and what really made me decide for HOX is build quality. also, better viewing angles on display. benchmarks were basicly on par, even with full sense running. also, im a custom ROM lover, and i quess HOX is better in that also, its been out for a while.
HOX!
Optimus 4x is terrible for gaming. We got unlock and official cm10.1 now but theres no decent gaming kernel yet

Hiii Guys I w`ll Buy Lg G3 Next 5 Days But i Heard that`s had alot of Bugs like overheating and random shutdown So I Want Your advices Buy it or Not ? Thxx Guys
Early firmware had some horrible bugs like shutdowns and reboots. Firmware 10g solved those for me and seems to have done for most users.
My advice is buy it but make a firmware update the first thing you do when you get it.

Hello[emoji4] If you have an LG G2, I personally don't see a need to buy a new device, the LG G3 features little upgrades from the G2, They both have the same Camera Sensors(except the G3 records 4k for 5 minutes and it has OIS Plus, and 120 fps recording, you'll lose the 60 fps option on the G3, both have the same battery capacity (3000 mAh battery), but due to the fact that the G3 has to push more pixels with the help of the Qualcomm Quadcore Snapdragon 801 process being used(because of the QHD Display) the battery will drain quicker than the G2's battery and the G3 Will get hot(depending on your usage) due to what I mentioned early, the G2 however has a 1080p Display, the battery on the G2 can handle the 1080p Display but not the QHD Display on the G3(you can replace the battery on the G3) what device do you have right now before I go any further?

There have been reports(not a lot) of overheating, and reports of the battery life lasting for at least 4 to 5 hours, but it all depends on how frequent you use your device, it can last up to a day or two if your just using your device for talk and text, but if your using your device for more than just talking and texting, expect some battery drainage.

Now speaking of Kernels, I'm sorry, I don't know, but if you like to have a good amount of storage and replaceable storage and easily replaceable battery for a bigger battery then you'll enjoy the LG G3, because the device you have right now, it will be a huge step up for you to purchase the G3, if you don't like how the G3 performs, is the store where you're considering purchasing one give you the option to refund and give you a replacement?

Ok, I'll say go ahead and purchase the G3 because in reality all mobile devices get warm or hot, so that's kinda unavoidable, my LG G2 is kinda warm as I'm typing this message, and the battery life on the G3, that depends on the individual, what that person may like or may not like, you can watch and read many reviews as possible about the G3, but those reviews don't matter more than that individual's experience with the device, all reviewers of products can give you is their opinion on the product, one person might say the battery life on the G3 is horrible but another person may disagree with that statement, it's all about your personal preferences to that product.[emoji4][emoji106]

Read the G3 development forum for rom and kernel info. The G3 is rootable so you can use trickstermod etc to tweak the stock kernel to save battery. Remember that display is by far the biggest battery hog. So far the G3 has similar battery life to my old HTC One X+ with a battery saving custom kernel. I don't think you will have much to worry about

Hi, I Own a LG G3 since 27th July and I just experienced a sudden restart when I was trying to access the social update via Asphalt 8 game few days back. Now I dunno the firmware is 10g as all I could notice is that I have a software update of V10e-AME-XX
Kernel 3.4.0
build no. KVT49L.A1404795316
Any Suggestions?

I'm not aware aware of any custom kernels yet but there is a thread started with kernel source code in the development forum.
http://www.phonearena.com/news/How-...-visibility-of-the-LG-G3-without-root_id58888
Is This Right ??
I'm thinking of buying a 32gb G3 but I really don't like slowdowns, lag, stutter or whatever. What is your experience with the G3 updated to Lollipop ? The same laggy experience ? Speaking about frame rate in heavy graphics games, opening/closing/switching apps, scrolling things, in fact the general 'responsiveness' ?
What about a rooted G3, with Cyangonmod. Any difference in performance ?
Or should I better look at the G2(rooted to kill bloatware) / S5 / Xperia Z2 / Oneplus one ?
I wouldn't say it's laggy but no matter what rom i use wether cyanogen or stock it's still not as fast as my friends stock one plus one
With cyanogenmod based roms the g3 is amazing. Not lag
plz update to last version 20i not lag
The stock LG firmware is prone to slight lag and animation stuttering, though it opens, closes and runs tasks quite well. It appears to improve as LG roll the updates, and there is a promise of a fresh new UI coming with the G4, but it's still not good enough for a flagship phone.
Now, the moment you run CM12, RR or any other AOSP based rom the phone performs as it's supposed to. Animations are perfectly fluid, everything just flies. It literally feels like a hardware upgrade.
The phone is really great, I wouldn't consider any other 5.5 screen (or up) because of the size of the devices. LG made something special here, though It's a bit sad that they haven't figured out the software side of things just yet, but we have hopes things are going for the better.

I heard you lose all the camera quality and features like laser autofocus when you switch to AOSP, is this true?

I can't say about the laser focus because last I heard someone confirmed it's working. There is loss in quality for low light photos, but bright photos are as good as stock. Also there is no 4K recording yet.
Camera was never my thing though, so I didn't give it a proper test run.
Thanks for the answers. I'll have to choose between the S5 and the G3. The Xperia Z2 and OPO were also options, but these are just too big. And most likely the OP2 will be bigger. Let's see which of them gets cheaper quicker...
Hello, i have xperia z1
i like it's 6H+ screen on time
i like it's snappy lag free performance
i am happy with it's camera , but i don't like it's low light performance
What should i expect from LG G3 ?
How is screen on time ?
how is camera?
how is performance ?( i used LG G3 once for one day but i returned it, and it's ui didn't feel as smooth as z1, it feelt more like touchwiz with little stutter here and there)
how much free ram is available on the 2gb/3gb versions on average?
do 1080p/720p videos look blurry on the 1440p screen ? (720p don't look good on my z1)
and is it a good deal to get LG G3 2gb version for MY Z1+50euros
my opinion, don't change your phone, Z1 is better than G3, G3 ROM and kernel is customised, like Samsung, HTC, everytime use pure android device, like Nexus, Sony. (sorry for my english)

1) 6H and 5% more . That's if you keep brightness below 50%...
2) Camera is good, but nothing spectacular. Low light is.. normal, at best.
3) Laggy. Lags are EVERYWHERE: from last "Initial setup" page and smart notice widget to messaging app... It's as bad as I9300 on latest firmware...
4) 700m on 3g model.
5) no, they look sharp enough.
My advice? Stay on Z1.
Hello guys, I wanna buy a new smartphone, have a S3 and now I'm tempted to buy the LG G3 with 32GB internal and 3GB RAM. Is a good option for nowadays?
Yes, it's still a good option. However, I would invest in the V10, because it's superior in every way, and will last you longer. The G3's development is dying in terms of stock based ROMs, which in my opinion are the best kind of ROMs.
It is a good choice, but if you're in America, go for the V10. Much better investment.

No - ASOP won't have the drivers for the Laser-Autofocus and I guess OIS is out of reach as well - so no. CM/ASOP isn't going to be anywhere near as fast especially not that CM has no Camera 2 API implemented. The only choice would be a good Camera App to get somewhat good pictures as well, but they're still not going near Stock as it would have to rely on Software totally.

Bottomline of the Story:
I'd love to get the V10 but I neither do have the money noir do they sell it in Germany. Seems like LG hates Germany nowadays ... (curses)

I think in Portugal we don't have it too. And camera is not the most important thing to me so...
EHK! Just found out it 's going to be sold end of december here in Germany as well on Amazon !!!!
http://www.mobilegeeks.de/artikel/lg-v10/
Should probably release at the same time or close in the rest of Europe!
That taken aside:
The G3 is a phone made for people that are willing to do things like opening the phone and applying a Cooling Mod and take a lot of time into customization and tweaking of Stock roms in my opinion - and you loose to much out if you go the ASOP/CM route with it (in my opinion). It 's good - but it 's not perfect and certainly has it 's drawbacks. If you want to go the CM/ASOP route I'd rather suggest an OPO since that one has more reliable and stable kernels of high quality around like Boeffla or AK-Kernel around (eh he) and has it 's Camera ported for CM as well.
TLDR: In terms of value for the money you invest right now and CM-Support ->
1. OPO/OPO2
2. LG G3
3. LG G4
4. LG V10
That said excluding other good phones like the Nexus devices (can't list them all and don't have experience with them either)
Or perhaps go for an Xperia. Sony has a very friendly attitude towards devs, so you'll find busy development on an Xperia.

Go for xperia z1 , its basically xperia z2=xperia z3 at very low price
Same cpu, same camera , same performance
Just less ram 2gb and lower quality screen, but still very good
Also xperia z1 is as smooth as z3 or z5 unlike lg g3 which is very laggy and slow, i have xperia z1 and as soon as i started using a friends g3 i could easily notice how slow is navigation through menu, and how aweful is the scrolling speed, looks like 20 fps compared to 60fps on the z1 , a legendary phone that never slows down. Or freezes or hangs up never, always responds in time no matter what you do or install in it.
Only downside of it, is its very low free ram, ,, always arround 300-400 mb(600-700 at best using ram boosters) .(compared to 1.2- 1.5 gb free ram on z2 and Z3)( ps: older xperia z has more free ram, arround the 800mb 900mb) Does make background apps to reload most of time ...
Still better phone than g3 imo. Hope i helped, not many users would tell you this advice
Also dont forget the z1 battery is like twice g3 battery life.
Or you could get z2 , a perfect phone, and has 3 times g3 battery backup ( screen on time) and about twice z1 sot. With my z2 average screen on time using 4g alltime is 7hours ( 5hours xperia z1 and like 3 and half or 4 hours if your lucky on g3
On wifi easily i get 8 to 9 .( this means quick email check, web navigation, some facebook, ) no games.

Got my G3 at the end of May this year and still is my phone. And I can totally recommend it. Can keep up with the best of them. Camera is good too. I'm sure development will boom once we get stock Marshmallow. Here in the Philippines, there's only about a $50 difference between 32GB G3 and the leather 32GB G4. Hope I helped!
Yes, it's a good option, but i don't recommend you to keep the rom stock, you better install an aosp rom.
(Sorry if my english is bad)
I bought my 2nd hand LG G3 D855 , 5 weeks ago.
It is okay for the price (Without warranty).
Don't ever buy G3.

Also xperia z1 is as smooth as z3 or z5 unlike lg g3 which is very laggy and slow, i have xperia z1 and as soon as i started using a friends g3 i could easily notice how slow is navigation through menu, and how aweful is the scrolling speed, looks like 20 fps compared to 60fps on the z1 , a legendary phone that never slows down. Or freezes or hangs up never, always responds in time no matter what you do or install in it.
Only downside of it, is its very low free ram, ,, always arround 300-400 mb(600-700 at best using ram boosters) .(compared to 1.2- 1.5 gb free ram on z2 and Z3)( ps: older xperia z has more free ram, arround the 800mb 900mb) Does make background apps to reload most of time ...
Still better phone than g3 imo. Hope i helped, not many users would tell you this advice
Also dont forget the z1 battery is like twice g3 battery life.
Or you could get z2 , a perfect phone, and has 3 times g3 battery backup ( screen on time) and about twice z1 sot. With my z2 average screen on time using 4g alltime is 7hours ( 5hours xperia z1 and like 3 and half or 4 hours if your lucky on g3
On wifi easily i get 8 to 9 .( this means quick email check, web navigation, some facebook, ) no games.

Perhaps your friends model was dodgy? Because mine performed amazingly, better than any Z1 or Z3 for that matter. Also, the G3's camera is far superior to the Z3 and below, because unlike those models, the G3's camera is sharp. You'll notice a fair amount of image noise in a Z3 camera. Can't say anything about the more recent ones, however.
And battery is subjective to a LOT of things. You won't always get 7h SOT or whatever. I did once get 6 odd hours of SOT with ~25% left. But again, it's subjective.

Yes, it's a good option, but i don't recommend you to keep the rom stock, you better install an aosp rom.

Only go AOSP if you don't mind losing out on camera quality. Otherwise, stay with stock. And honestly, the camera is the G3's main selling point, if you don't mind so much about camera, go with a HTC or a Z3 or Z2. Not a Z1. Differences between the Z2 and 3 are negligible.
