You going to get mixed results depending on who you ask... when I first bought the device (3 different one) a tmobile variant, it lag like crazy and had a bunch of touch screen issues... fast forward today I bought one from T Mobile with a manufacture date of 8/15 and it runs like a dream.... I'm not sure what the difference is but my current device run so good compared to the initial release devices I was dealing with earlier.

That sound like a production fault maybe?
I hear a lot of people in xda galaxy s5 forum that say S5 is smooth as butter all the time, but i had nothing but lag since day 1. Sometimes its relative lag free and some days its just better to leave the phone alone...
lag free for me
I had S5.. 2GB ram only lags tooo much

Ok. It seems that all android phones lag now... even my ipad air with ios 9.1 lags like ****t. Hehe
anyone used S6, M9 or N6P will notice huge lag in LG G4, so yes other phones way better!
The lag is from firmware version. With the last update is ok.
Sent from my LG-H812 using Tapatalk
Also depends on carrier. Some put so much bloatware on they lag like crazy... Mine is unbranded Euro version and very smooth.
Ok thanks guys I will not buy this phone. Maybe go for the S6...
You have to define what a lag is for you. I have the G4 and for me it lags.
For example, in multi task when swiping an app to close it, the app-window kinda scotches a bit before vanishing.
Sometimes when I open the notifications center, It can also get stuck a millisecond.
So yes it has lags and stutters.
And BTW S6 lags too.
G4 is the king of multitasking everyone knows it !!
If use latest firmware with resset factory !! G4 is really great .try to buy unbranded phone !

I was on Xperia Z3 and I was thinking a lot with a lot of testings in real life.. I was going to buy S6 but I changed my mind
Xperia Z3 was a super lag free phone.. but this LG G4 is better
-LG G4 is better in everything compared to S6.. the both cameras are better, speakers, screen (for me the screen is better than the Amoled of S6) and the battery performance
S6 coins compared to G4 :
-You can get higher FPs in heavy games because it has faster CPU&GPU.. etc.. but for me G4 is very well performing in games
-The "sound" in capturing videos is better than G4
-Finger print ( I don't use lock screen security system So I don't care.. and Knock code is so cool feature If you know it )
Finally I want to tell you that I spent a lot of days comparing and thinking then I chose G4 and I'm so happy..it's up to you.. you need to set your priorities.. not only lagging or lagging free.. S6 and G4 both are lag free phones

I come from a Z3 too. Z3 was the most lagfree phone I ever had. Either my G4 is faulty or I don't know what, but it's laggy. Far away from Z3.

Great Design, Better performance compared to XS, and the most important thing the best display from SONY.

Is the processor ok for casual gaming and telephony...i also planning to play some cool games like dead trigger,Temple Run 2! Can the phone handle this tasks? And also how is XDA support for this phone?
I had wildfire s before ion....wildfire s was stolen....so i bought ion at&t model...phone is very good builded...bettery life is good if u dont use much of the internet...screen resolution and screen size is perfect....
Just a minus feature is cam clearity and less developement...but cam will be better on JB update...the phone is getting JB in may end...JB MAY BE TJE LAST OFFICIAL UPDATE FOR ION.
But ifu need better update suport than go for x sp...it is new device with jb...and may have more update support above jb in future...

As far as its a snapdragon device, I believe it will have a custom rom.
sent from my Xperia Ion using taptalk
Owned my Ion since AT&T first released it last summer.
IMO, the main concern and cause for mixed initial reviews was simply it shipping with Gingerbread. That isn't an issue any more. It runs ICS perfectly fine for the most part, and is scheduled for JB pretty soon. My gf has a TL, which is the slightly updated S/Ion, and i really don't notice much difference in performance between the two, at least for very normal usage. I know development wise, with benchmarks this and that, you'll read differently...but it wasn't something tangible enough for me to notice between regularly messing with both.
Gaming wise. I regularly play Dead Trigger on high settings, Asphault 7, Doom GLES,etc, and have never had any issues. I know those games scale according to the hardware, but all look great. I've seen the videos that show what Tegra 3 support does, and most effects are subtle enough for it not to be a huge deal. Obviously, those being pretty high requirement games, nearly anything else runs very easily.
The screen. To this day i haven't seen a better screen on a cell phone, including recently messing around with a friend's Z. Contrast is perfect, viewing angles work acceptably, and the pixel density is to the point where i simply can't tell when something is better. Watching top gear in 720p on my Ion and the same episode in 1080p on a Z just after...i couldn't see the difference.
The only bad thing is all on Sony. Considering 76 phones have been released since last June; its pretty realistic that if they do decide to bump the Ion or S to KLP, it won't show up until 2015...but considering an Ion is pretty much free right now, that isn't really a big deal.

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

Quite a few have asked this on here lately...
Basically, if I were in your shoes I'd just go for it and get the G3! The phone is just awesome.
Development is not really happening just yet due to the locked bootloader on mostly all variants except TMobile. Our kicka$$ devs have eluded to the fact that they WILL be able to unlock or exploit the bootloader, it's just a matter of time.
I came from an S4 that had a very active Dev scene with many Roms and a few custom kernels to choose from, and even though currently I don't have those things with the G3..... I'm still super happy with this phone.
- Tapatalked from the G3
Same here... If I were you, I would go for it...
My choices before buying this phone were Z2, M8, and Find7... but G3 came out and that's it... =)

Why are you getting rid of the M8? How's the battery life?
The only thing I think that would be better is the G3 with Cat 6 And the Snap 805 lol no idea if Verizon will offer that though
- Tapatalked from the G3
I swapped my M8 for the G3 and I have not looked back, dont worry; they are both great phones. Just felt the need to move on
I made that switch and bought a G3 as my daily user. However, I actually think the M8 is an "overall" better phone. I got the G3 because I do take quite a lot of photos when I travel and the resolution just isn't good enough...the quality of the photos of the M8 are decent but the G3 is definitely better in good light. If photo quality and size isn't that important to you, I personally would NOT make the change. Even though I have the 805 chip Korean variant of the G3, I can say 100% the M8 is smoother and quicker in every aspect. The G3 is no slouch, but the M8 is awesome...smoothest Android phone out there in my opinion.
I'm not saying the G3 is a bad phone...I love it and I'm using it over my M8, but the only reason is because of the camera. just make sure there's a good reason for you to want to change. Good luck on your decision and let us know if you do switch what you think of the G3!

Same as me.
Having had both, I'd much prefer the G3 over the M8 for screen size and camera quality as those are important to me - but you should know that you'll have to put up with a slight compromise in terms of performance/smoothness and battery life.
That's what my experience has been, anyway. YMMV.

I certainly liked the M8, very much so in fact. But I loved the look of the G3 and the screen. Used both over a couple of weeks and decided to stick with the G3.
I think it all came down to the look and feel of the device. The M8 is beautiful, quality built and has all the features.. I just felt it was maybe missing something. So jumped to the G3
Like a few others on here, I have both phones. I love the M8. It's the most fluid phone I've ever experienced, and there are so many modification options out there. The G3 is laggy, and doesn't seem like much progress has been made with the developer community so far. All that being said, I can't bring myself to stop using my G3. If anything, try it out for a week and see how you like it.
I have both G3 & M8, they are both great phones & both have the + & - points.
You'll be happy whichever you choose.
Biggest +'s for each phone for me -
M8 - Speakers, they are very good.
G3 - Wireless Charging, Oh how pleasant it is to wireless charge. No faffing about with cables :good::good::good:
Enjoy whichever you use
You guys with both an M8 an G3 which do you like better.... Sense or LG's somewhat close to stock Android??
Coming from Sammy and Moto phones they're both pretty cool IMO. My girls One Max is very cool and after playing with that I'm sure having an HTC phone as a DD wouldn't be bad at all...
- Tapatalked from the G3
M8 far from smoothest phone sorry
i did the same move. the m8 was the smoothest phone i ever had but the lack of screen for such a big phone was such a waste to me. both phones are awesome though. honestly if the m8 had a back speaker with a bigger screen it would have been a perfect phone for me.5.5 inch screen is perfect

speaker wise once you root the g3 and but viper on it the sound is surprisingly very loud and clear

Mind sharing your viper settings?
The title is a bit misleading: I'm getting the phone for my brother. I placed an order today cos he's avid on getting the find 7. However, since he probably won't root it I feel that Lg G 3 would be the better choice. I mean he only knows about the Find 7 because of me.
He really likes to play games with high spec requirements (modern combat etc.) and wants to get the best specs for that reason. He would only be able to get the 16gb version of G3 with less ram and he'd need to get the phone on a contract for it to be in his price range. The contract isn't really an issue, though.
I'd personally get the G3 just because it's a lot better size, but he really seems to want that 3gb of ram and it's his money... How much memory does the 16gb version have reserved for apps btw? Does it have unified storage?
I'll probably cancel the Find 7 order tomorrow just cause I know he probably won't root it and it's a lot easier to get the G3 then to order FInd 7.
I hope you guys can give some insight to this phone and how it has been for you. And even give straight up advice my brother.
PS I know these threads are annoying, but he's been saving up long time for the phone and I don't want him to make a mistake.
Edit: Meant to post this on the Q&A section!!!
well..for my side...i would go for LG G3..i trust LG...so choose LG G3 if you have some spare extra cash..otherwise...go oppo...still LG G3 for me is the best choice.. especially you would install the xcam mod...WOW..simply wow!!!

Xcam mod? Thought That was just for g2?
Well having worked at Oppo, (although we only carry the 7a here) and choosing to go for the G3 afterwards, I can say that the main feature you want from the Find 7 would be the VOOC super fast charging. It charges from 0-full in roughly an hour while the G3 has to charge for like 2 1/2 hours or so.
Other than that, I feel that the aesthetics and size definitely go to the G3 as well as the camera. Its a toss up between the screen and sound quality.
Another thing is that the Find 7's colorOS firmware only comes with Jellybean while the G3 already comes with Kitkat.
What's really great about colorOS are the screen off gestures which you can assign to launch apps, the camera, play music and adjust the volume without even opening your phone as well as the gesture panel which you can assign to do the same as well while you're using the phone
I wish the G3 had those features too sometimes but it has alot of strong points with its stock firmware too
IMO G3 is not good for high end games.. i get a lot force close when playing heavy games that run smoothly on my previous nexus 5..
i dont know about find 7.. but for now G3 software is bad.. i hope xda developer can unlock the bootloader and make a good custom ROM.. so i dont waste my money on this bautiful phone..
What "heavy games" are force closing? I've had the G3 for several weeks and have yet to see one force close.

There should be an app that allows you to change volume while device is sleeping tbh. Or? Sounds possible to me, but maybe not.

The G3 is underpowered for a QHD. You'll notice it in games and intensive CPU/GPU applications.

Good news/bad news. The good? The game ran flawlessly on my G3 without any force close, though it's not my cup of tea. Bad? You may have some other issue with your phone. Possibly something you've installed is interacting with the game(s)? Are you using ART, it's still beta and can have issues with some apps? I didn't have any issues running it, but switched back to Dalvik after rooting because xposed doesn't play with ART. There are differences in our G3's , I have 3gb/32gb and we have different radio frequencies but that shouldn't make a difference here. In my experience, custom roms/kernels add function, speed and battery life but more often than not at the cost of stability. Waiting for a custom rom to fix your stability issue might not be the best strategy. Good luck squashing your bug!!!

On line reviews have shown that frame rate can be affected slightly with some games, but I've yet to use an app or game where this was noticeable in real world use and most of those same on line reviews have stated the same. Every game I've played has run fine and looked good...every one! QHD may have an impact, but "underpowered" is a bit of a stretch.

I was a bit "over the top" with "underpowered". I would say the 801 is at its upper limits in rendering all the pixels. The screen is also using a lot of power and creating more heat which is causing throttling which in turn is causing performance issues(see Samsung's new QHD display tech which uses less power). The 2/16gb model which we have in the UK is pretty horrible to use, a lot of redraws,lag and stutter.
I got the 16/2 model. I find it's good. Greenified most apps. Always have about 500mb-800mb free ram. Using apex, kept in memory no redraws. Running 10j, ART. I like the phone

This is true. If you crank the graphics in BF it does indeed crash out. A lot. Nexus 7 does it too though not quite as much as it's lower res than we are but higher than 1080 on the same platform so it struggles with the maxed effects/drops.

yup.working like a charm.though it will FC your original LG CAM APP..
only installed the apk without the binaries
I've been struggling to make a decision between the G3 and the G4. The G4 obviously is the newer device with the better specs, but I didn't see any (official) cyanogenmod support yet for it, whereas the G3 has that going for it already. Having some custom roms available is a killer feature for me in a device. I already read that even only the european version (I'm from Germany) of the G4 can be rooted - is that the reason why there are next to no custom ROMs or kernels at all?
Do you recommend the G3 if I'm going for customizability or is the G4 going to get CM support eventually?
Thanks in advance for any help

No idea about CM but I think we all have root now. I am using the Canadian model (H812) and we have root but no unlocked bootloader.
We flash things using FlashFire since we can't install TWRP. No idea about roms, I don't use them.
If you're looking for strictly customization you won't find much for the G4. Maybe you'd be satisfied with what's available as far as themes, Xposed, etc.
You can change things up quite a bit, but it's pretty far from a custom rom or kernels. If you're not in a rush maybe wait it out a bit to see if the G4 scene improves. In my opinion it's the much better device out of the two. If anything when you do buy the prices could be lower.

I would also like to add that flashing roms can get old after a while. On my G2 and previous phones I was constantly flashing and changing things. Seemed like everything was buggy in one way or another. In the end I was happier with a nice phone where everything worked the way it should.
With the G4 I'm pretty happy with the stock software, sure I rooted and changed a few things appearance wise, and removed a lot of bloat ware. I'm stuck with a stock rom and recovery(stupid Verizon model), but that's ok!

@rick09 Why do you think it's better? Other reasons besides performance?
But the G3 should still be a good phone, right? Currently, I've got an HTC One M7, on which the battery lift has gotten quite horrible... Now I don't really know what to get - I've thought about these (In brackets my concerns about them):
Moto X Play (No replaceable battery)
Oppo R7 Plus (Last gen processor, Huge but unreplacable battery)
LG G3 (Nice overall, but the G4 is newer)
LG G4 (No CM support yet)

Ok look, if you're going to buy one of these phones so go with the G4 H815 (not any other model! because of unlockable bootloader) it will get the cm very soon, the development is very fast,
BUT if custom roms are you're thing and you can't live without it so don't but lg at all, go for the oneplus 2 or the new nexus devices the n5x or the n6p

No, I'm totally fine with CM, but will it really be actively developed given that only a small portion of the G4 users can really use it?

Oh, I'm totally charging overnight. I also have a pretty huge powerbank with me all day, so that shouldn't be a problem. On my current M7 though, when my screen is on, my battery even drains while charging

Why not just get your m7 battery changed then and stick with it ?
after two years its not going to be as good as new.

The M7 is by no means a bad device but changing the battery is nearly impossible on that thing. Also, because of a hardware failure which affected the whole M7 series, all my low-light photos look like this which renders the camera totally unusable is some situation. The strongest reason for me wanting to get a new device is that my employer will pay it though, so I'm going to get a new phone anyways, it's just that i've only got a certain budget and the G4 would fit the bill, I think

Service centre ? they do this work. replacing a camera module is no big deal either.

That's what i wanted to know because some people don't care about that. Also you did not mention any other brands so was curious.
The G3 comes in two variants, 2 & 3GB RAM with storage of 16 & 32GB. The 3GB is the better choice. They did away with this in the G4 and its just 3GB and 32GB like the G2 and optimus G earlier for storage.
The G4 has a much better camera than the G3 which is the same one used in the G2 and flex models. The G3 is a capable auto shooter but the manual controls on the G4 mean more control and better low light ability. The aperture is 80% brighter.
The screen on the G4 is also better and brighter. This you will have to see for youself to decide. Then decide whether you are ok with the slight curve on the G4 that the G3 does not have. Roms will come in time but i see a number of people who are not bothered.
Have you seen the V10 ? will be more expensive since its 4GB and 64GB only. and the manual controls of the stills camera carry over to the video side as well. This right now isn't possible on the G4. The V10 is a little bigger though.
How much battery do you need ? mention your expected SOT/runtime.
I have H815 and have root, unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP, please, get the G4. Getting a G3 is pointless. Think of the G4 as an optimised G3.
I had the g3 for a few days and it was full of lag and heat. Screen was also bad!
The G4 is a totally different phone. Everything about it is better except for size.

I did hear about the V10, of course, but that will, at least on release, be way out of my price range of about 400-500€ I can use from my employer. Also, I can't add from my own money because law restrictions and stuff.
Battery-wise, I'm quite the heavy user - I commute about 2 hours a day by bus and have the screen on almost all the time, but battery's not really a concern for me as I have a 13k mAh powerbank and the possibility to charge at work.
I was also considering a Galaxy Note 3 or 4, as they also have microsd and a swappable battery but meh, it's TouchWiz. Also it's a teeny tiny bit too expensive for my budget.
