The interface is a huge improvement. The G3 lost a lot of the bloat that plagued the G2
And gained a few useful features. One big one is the smart keyboard that learns how you type the more you type
Which is a given for those kinds of things. But it als
The G3 is very fast
At least as fast as the HTC One M8
And significantly quicker than the Galaxy S5
LG has toned down some aspects of its software UI and cleaned up others
Like the navigation buttons
Which are now in the standard arrangement

The plastic in the G3 is an improvement over the high-gloss plastics LG has used in past devices

G UI brings refined interface
A perfect rating is tough to ever give because it seems no device is ever flawless. LG does come close here with the G3 though and it offers just about everything I could ever want in a smartphone. I understand I can even add Qi charging if I buy a new ba

The editors didn't like
Annoying that you have to take the back off to remove the SIM. And I have said the same thing for the G Flex—I really hate the placement of the volume rocker and power button on the back of the G3. It's annoying
And I feel like I'm always fumbling around
Some parts of LG's UI still seem dated or unnecessarily cluttered (multitasking UI
App drawer)
And some are just kind of ugly (settings menu)
LG still won't be getting much love on the build quality side
The G3 feels a bit nicer than the G2
But not b
The Battery life during high usage. The screen uses a lot of power. It sucks down power to the point that LG has to throttle down the brightness when the device gets too hot

Large compared to other phones in its class
Imperfect performance
No native wireless charging
Inconsistent camera quality
Convoluted software
Unclear upgrade path to upcoming Android "L" release

Softer overall battery life
The new QHD display with its 2
560x1
440-pixel resolution is quite a power hog
So the phone will barely last you a day without a charge
Lone speaker produces unimpressive sound
Huge phone. Screen resolution may be too high to perceive for some. Lower benchmark scores than some competitors. Call quality could be better
Gaming takes its toll on battery life
Which is otherwise good. Rear volume and power buttons may be off-putting to some
Still no customizable shortcuts for rear button
Would be nice to see Google Now integration in LG's cards widget
Battery life takes a hit
Smart Notice is pointless
Screen could be brighter
Rear volume Power buttons take some getting used to
Camera is light on details
Outright cost of the phone is rather high
Struggles with heavier operations & exhibits delays
Occasional performance and battery life issues
Likely too large for smaller hands
Handful of unnecessary software features
1440p display is overkill
Rear button placement
Basic camera app
Pricey
Too big for comfort
Might be the best fake metal yet
But it's still plastic
Plastic build is easily scratched
Camera offers only average lowlight performance
Dimmer display than competition
AT&T bloat is excessive

Still a large device overall
General users may not notice 2K difference
Poor low light performance
G UI still somewhat cluttered and bloated

In particular
Not very useful
LG lets you reconfigure the Android touch buttons
Altering the order of the three standard buttons and adding up to two more from a set of four Notifications pulldown
QuickMemoapp launch
QSlide menu launch and Dual Window. Gaining quick access to these
Too many preloaded AT&T apps and services
No water resistant rating
Display resolution affects performance and battery life to an extent. 'Metallic skin' on the back is made of plastic.
