With its resolution of 2560 x 1440, LG’s smartphone G3 a resolution that is almost twice as high as the laptop I write this review on. It is indicative of the very rapid development smartphones through. But the G3 has more to offer than just its sharp image.

The LG G3 is an Android smartphone with excellent specifications, against which to measure itself with the other tops mart phones from Apple, Sony, HTC and Samsung. The device has a 801 quad-core Snapdragon processor that clocks a speed of 2.5 GHz and 2 GB of RAM. That’s about the same as the Galaxy S5, HTC One and Xperia Z2.

The device is made of plastic, but at first glance it seems the frame of polished metal finish. The plastic housing makes the device seem slightly cheaper than its competitors with metal housing . The build quality is excellent and further advantage is that the back can be used to replace the battery and place. Memory and SIM card removed

But the most striking part is of course the screen, with its 5.5 – inch (13.97 cm) is particularly great on paper. In practice, it is not too bad. In terms of size, he is only slightly larger than the Galaxy S5 (5.1 inch screen), and almost as large as the Xperia Z2 (5.2 inches). This is mainly due to the extremely thin edges around the screen.

To pay attention to the screen, such a huge part of the front of the unit, there must be sacrifices to be made: the on / off button and volume buttons. These are (as in the G2) is placed on the back of the device instead of to the sides or top. It takes getting used to and I find the placement did not improve, but that’s a personal thing.

5.5 inch qHD: The biggest question on the qHD screen is of course: how far you will notice a positive difference from Full HD screens of about the same size? Little sadly. But if you have trouble reading, then the letters that the screen shows a nice-to-read graphics and sharp display. But the differences between HD and qHD at this size unfortunately hardly noticeable. While there is a price to be paid for the extremely high pixel count because costs necessary system capacity and charge the battery also considerable. This is a charged battery in practice difficulty to go an entire day.

It speaks for itself that the screen is sharp. But the colors are bright and realistic of the screen. If you use the G3 but outside in the sun, then you notice that it is difficult to look at it from light. Away from the screen

Laser Camera: The 13 megapixel camera that is in the G3, is basically the same camera that we found in its predecessor, the G2 . The camera is capable of detailed, making. Colorfast photos It is striking that a inserted. Beside the lens This is used to focus. Soon In normal lighting conditions, you will notice little difference, but in dark environments, you notice that you have shot. Sharp picture soon

The app lets you make very minimal pictures displayed. There is only one menu button that leads you to the camera settings, where you can go for the mode, flash settings, HDR, etc. A photograph found in the corner to make by simply pressing on the screen at the point you want focus. There is no shutter button is available.

Android 4.4: The smartphone runs on Android 4.4, but with its own look and apps. On the previous smartphones from LG, there were disturbing many unnecessary apps and saw the skin is quite outdated. In that respect, LG has made major inroads. Android with LG’s skin looks a lot more consistent look, with flat square and round, bright colors and a more minimalist look. Unfortunately, we still find some redundancies, such as an own appstore (LG Smart World) and the McAfee Security application.

The LG G2 introduced the ‘knock to unlock “, which you can unlock. Twice on the display device This nice feature is now extended with a “knock code”, which you unlock your device. A preset pattern So you have your smartphone unlocked as fast as the fingerprint security of the iPhone 5s .

Conclusion: LG is the last time a lot of catching up to do with outstanding smart phones that run on Android. The Nexus 4 and 5 are excellent smartphones for a reasonable price and also the predecessor LG G2 is a good all-round smartphone. With the G3 LG volunteers finally at the top. The device is of good build quality, sharp screen (although the added value of qHD is doubtful), the camera is able to take good pictures quickly and the overall specifications are fine. Android is nicely taken care of and adds especially with the knock features a knack far. Add to that the price is one stroke lower than the other top models from HTC, Samsung, Apple and Sony, and you can conclude that the LG G3 is a fine choice for a smartphone that you through to (at least) two years.
