Hi, I want to buy a new phone (after Xperia L) but I still can not decide which one - LG G2 or G3. I have several questions.
I love G3 for the new laser AF with faster focusing in general, this is the one thing for which I want this phone more than G2. But I am disappointed with battery life and mainly with cracking frame around IR or mic. I don't want to go every 3 months to service center for a new frame
Is this cracking issue still present in the last produced G3s?
Is the speed of focusing (or overall speed of camera in daylight and mainly in lowlight) improved in any camera mod (xaddab or other) on LG G2?
I read that there is some improvements, but I didn't find any stock vs. modded speed comparison. (Or LG G2 vs. G3 camera focusing comparison in lowlight)
Thanks.
Hi ... Owned them both kG2 20 december ... 14 february - G3 14feb ... Until now )
I like them both . about thwt crackin issue .. Idk when mine was produced i bouhht it old and it has that small crack where the upper mic is plased and another one in the same place the other side ...
Camera of pg G2 to me was perfect .. Compared by my slef with the Galaxy s4 and s4 beatet them both in low light ... But i never noticed that smt went wrong with focusin ...
Thanks Feizi. And did you feel any bigger differences in quality of taken photos when you bought LG G3 after G2?
Hahaha i forgot smt big... The front camera dude ... Althougt i loved lg g2 more then g3 even i still own the G3...front camera in lg g2is so low .. Once i found a front camera comparison somewehere ... ( lg g2nexus 5. Iphone 5s . note 3 . s4.. And lg g pro 2 . the lg g2 was always before the last which was nexus 5
I don't use front camera so much as main camera. This will be ok for me

after 3 months of using my LG G3 this is the 1st time that the camera begun to become less fast when taking photos. i thought it was because i rooted my phone and then I unroot my LG G3 f400k but the same problem occurs it takes time to shoot photos it will slightly load after taking a shot. before you can resume and shot a photo again... what should I do! thanks for the help!
Hello
I have only bought my LG unlocked European version a few weeks ago, and have had the same issue since new. It is just so so slow - incredibly slow compared with My wives iPhone 5 even... Keep missing photos of my children as they don't hold still for long!! only bought the G3 for a) the screen and b) the camera speed.. Screen is great, but camera so so so slow.... If anyone has any ideas how to fix this it would be very much appreciated from me as well..

Hi,
Same experience here, my wife's G3 is just rubbish indoors! It takes 2s to take a picture and than another 2s to let you take another one?! it does it make any sense it looks like some sort of HDR mode is enabled in the background - at least that how it feels. On top of that you can't modify the shutter speeds either manually or by choosing scene mode. CRAP CAMERA!
Hello,
First of all, I'm sorry if this isn't the part of the forum that I should put this question on.
I want to change my phone, coming from a galaxy s2. I need your help, I can't decide if the LG G3 is enough of an upgrade or should I go for the galaxy S6.
Can you please tell me your experience with this phone? (gaming, battery life, photos, roms development)
I mostly use the phone for games, web browsing, music and some productivity apps.
So is LG G3 a good choice due to its price ? or I should go with an other phone? (HTC M8, Galaxy S6,...)
Thank you for taking the time to help me in my dilemma.
Go for the new M8s,it is the new updated version of the m8
I would not recommend the M8. Battery life for the G3 is decent..depends on the rom,kernel etc .
I am a high end user too. A lot of gaming mostly DH5, Darkness Reborn which are really battery draining games , web browsing etc and i can tell that battery hardly will last more than half a day.
Overall ,i am really satisfied with G3 after my set up (rom,kernel,mods).Amazing pictures with stock roms' cam .
G3 currently has many custom roms to choose from but i think its a little behind in the kernel section. Thanks the devs for all their efforts btw .
I cant say much for the galaxy S6 because i think its too early for anyone to have a whole-view opinion. Benchmarks tests show unbelievably good performance on the other.
Hope i helped you

Hello, thank you for answering. I do exactly the same thing with my phone, mainly gaming and web browsing. Why would you not recommend the M8? Is the G3 > M8 ? Can you elaborate on this?
Thank you again.
Hi, both devices are good, but there are big differences which will depend on you.
Screen size. G3>m8
Phone size. G3>m8 (g3 better screen ratio)
Lags. G3>m8 (m8 better).
Price. M8>G3.
I hope it helps.

-->The back cover has wireless charging support
HTC One (M8) over LG G3 :
-->Aluminum unibody
-->Front-facing stereo speakers vs. a single 1.5W speaker on the back
-->Dual camera with Zoe

And i dont agree with the lag part that G3 has beacuse after the upgrade to lollipop everythings smooth.
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.
Hi I have a question... but Would you change the LG G3 for a Sony Z2 on the same conditions? I am thinking of it. My G3 have 3GB of ram 32GB of storage and its dual sim. wich have and takes better pictures, and wich one performs better on games?
If you want a cell phone on base of camera quality then go for Xperia Z2. It has more better camera than LG G3 but less storage then LG G3. (Z2=16gb and G3=32gb).
LG G3 and Xperia z2 have nearly same processor (LG G3 got a little more better than Z2). Both have same OS (Android Marshmallow after update).
But if you are thinking about gaming and graphics display then LG G3 is best option. Cause it has got QuadHD display..
You can have complete comparison of both LG G3 and Xperia Z2 at

If i would be at your place then would go for Xperia Z2 because it is more expensive then LG G3.
Go for it

It feels premium instead of light plastic
Did the exact change few days ago
Its just great
Look at the pics
EDIT:: you also get good apps like garmin navigation for free
It is an xperia bundle
Look at sony site for all apps you get
And if you have an sony sixaxis playstation 3 or 4 controller like I do
Its in few steps conactable you just pair it no root needed
And great for gaming
Evan my antutu is better then my old G3

Z2 has better camera? Have you got any proof for this statement? Because Sony flagship smarphones have totally average camera (except Z5, it has great camera).
Look at here: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g3_vs_sony_xperia_z2-review-1100p8.php
And about display, QuadHD doesn't mean it's better, because it's actually not in this way (QHD consumes more battery), but in quality comparison, G3 has better display.

Totally agree with that statement. Sony might make good stand-alone cameras but their smartphone cameras are totally average. I would also like to mention the build quality of Sony, my Z3 started having issues after few months of purchase and even after few replacements and repairs the issues kept coming back. I finally gave up and switched to G3. Never been more happier, G3 surpasses Z3 in all aspects and yes, the camera is one of them.

Look at this
http://m.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z2-6144.php
It says xperia z2 has got a camera upto 20mp which is greater than 13mp of lg g3. That's it the main difference..

Yes you are totally right in this statement. But my friend had a xperia z2 phone and it camera was awesome. I liked that Camera result of his phone z2....
Perhaps that could be a variant difference.
Anyways thanks for helping him and , somehow, me
hey guys, my LG g3 was just replaced under waranty and i just got a new unit.
Now i am undecided whether to just sell it and jump straight away to the G5 or s7 or whether it´s smarter to stick with it for a little longer.
Also i am wondering what the best custom Rom with ( 6.x) currently is , i have noticed there are a great many available already !

if you can get the new G5 then why not I still have my G3 because I still find it fast and have a pretty sick set up. Plus, with Fulmics ROM and G3 tweaksbox you can change anything! For it being an "old" phone the G3 still holds its ground. But then again you can't beat the new camera and better specs of the G5,hmmmm......
BTW the S7 sucks in my opinion
like what Still_living714 said, if you can get it then definitely go for it. I just jumped from Fulmics to G Plus 2.4 ROM (you should check it out if you're interested in stock lg rom with aosp look). The devs here at xda keeps me satisfied with my G3 and I'm not jumping ship anytime soon

Hmm yeah , i am kind of disapointed in the g5 because they ended the rear mounted audio buttons and i am not 100% convinced of the "modular" nature of the device.
that´s why i was concidering the s7.
but i think i´ll go with the Fulmics rom ^^
Fulmics made my g3 like a new device, really fast and stable. Only reason I switched to a nexus 6p was because the screen was so much brighter, the g3 is awesome in low light situations but poor in any kind of daylight compared to more modern displays.
