[G3 General] Billy Madison:
But, didn't LG phone you and asked what should they do? How rude of them

Maybe they should just stuck to 960x540 or even quit flagships battle altogether?

So, better buy Z2, whatchu waiting 4?

You know what. EVERY other LG's phone do exactly that, doesn's allow full brightness when phone gets warm. EVERY, even your G2

Had it really bothered you once?

And you forgot to mention that viewing angles suck too, still worse than GS5

Excited by the quality of the camera performance & sound quality for music playback. Shame about the sunlight legibility of the screen.
[G3 General] rfarrah:
Can't believe the negative remarks here. Every review I've seen has been for the initial or pre-production or Korean models. We still don't even know what will actually be released here in the US. Might want to hold off getting worked up until you see what VZW, ATT, Sprint, and T-M will actually be offering.

Hm, do you own LG G2 (or Optimus G Pro, GPro2)? Could you comment please on it's sunlight legibility?
[G3 General] dadsterflip:
Yea I hope the g5 will also improve on what they didn't do on the g4. Can't wait for the g5,
[G3 General] Super Chimp:
I was commenting in relation to GSMArena's comments on the matter.
[G3 General] Semantics:
I missed where GSMarena became the gospel of reviews. Engadget, The Verge, both say the screen colors are brilliant, 7 hours of SoT, and much better in the sunlight than the S5. Oh well, I guess I have to bow down the GSMarena Gods of reviewing and disregard the 5 other reviews that completely disagree with what they are saying and just not buy the phone. I recommend you all do the same, and blindly follow GSMarena.
[G3 General] Aegyo:
Quite a few people seem to have vested interest in the shortcomings of the G3. We should wait for people to get their hands on it before making judgement. If anything, Engadget should have an Apple bias, but even they don't have much bad to say against it.

GSM Arena quote in pic of the i9100

As you can see this is their review of the SII years back and look at the numbers and look at their afterthought. You really should stop judging until you see the phone yourself. If you can see the phone reasonably well in sunlight, then thats good enough. If you cant then don't buy it. As for the battery, its removable. and it has the same GSMArena battery score as the Note 2 which was a beast in battery life. Most reviewers said they got 12hrs+ use from the phone, this is without disabling anything.

Well samsung galaxy has amoled which is almost non reflective. Thats why samsung galaxy can be seen better in sunlight eventhough the max brightness is less than lcd.

[G3 General] antigravity:
Are you kidding? Amoled is the worst type of display for sunlight use
[G3 General] chriso89:
Why does no review talk about call quality?
[G3 General] Billy Madison:
And I'm waiting for Anand review

Oh, the Gizmodo way more Apple-biased. Their review of G2 was laughed at
[G3 General] dragon135:
I mean Super Amoled.

No, super amoled is less reflective compared to lcd with the same brightness because it has less layer. You can google it yourself. Now, latest super amoled max brightness in S5 is competitive to latest lcd brightmess so it make it much superior in sunlight.

Example measurement (yes it is from gsmarena but you can google the others)

Sent from GT-I9500
[G3 General] antigravity:
I simply cant agree with that. GSMArena can use all the stats they like, but Amoled technology is awful in sunlight.

I love them indoors, contrast is perfect, but they are much worse than IPS in sunlight.
[G3 General] barondebxl:
That's not the case of the S5. Its super clear outdoor. Amoled has come a long way. The display on the S5 its absolutely outstanding.
[G3 General] antigravity:
I have a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900I), and haven't found it any better than any other device.

Best outdoor display I've ever used was an iPhone 5.
[G3 General] barondebxl:
The iPhone 5 is great outdoor, but so is the S5 because of the contrast. There's no reflection.
[G3 General] Mandeep148:
Any one saying about amoled? AMOL3D is father of all screen.

Yes s5 have improved sunlight panel.

Great sunlight visibility.

Amoled is magic colour and true black display which means black colour = pixel not work. Which is future technology and no one can compete with amoled. ;D
[G3 General] Billy Madison:

[YOUTUBE]zqnosPs1_zo[/YOUTUBE]
[G3 General] barondebxl:
I own the devices.
[G3 General] antigravity:
I've had all of those devices (excl. S4) and I would agree with the video. iPhone 5 is better in sunlight and IPS generally works better. No idea why, its just always been my experience.

Total white brightness being higher is probably my guess.
[G3 General] barondebxl:
I agree with the video too. I'm just saying the S5 is very good in sunlight as well. Not as good as the iphone but its up there.
[G3 General] jeyd02:
Guys reviews will be somewhat different from any other reviewers. You are looking into different perspective and expectations and it always doesn't give a fully fair review to phone. Some people won't put the same amount passion as others.

Yours needs is not everyone needs, your likes is not everyone likes. And I'm sure I'll review the phone in a different way that I think will be most fair(for me). After all, I know how to use my phone the way I like.

don't jump the wagon for mere numbers. It doesn't reflect the TRUE use experience. There has been so much negative reviews from phones that are rather fantastic. And there is not an absolute determination with benchmark. Some will favor others phone and vice-versa. Sometimes benchmark are not even correctly opted for certain software or hardware. Remember when Samsung cheated on their devices. Yaa, there are flaws a few factors that you have to take in, no only with benchmark but actually testing the phone yourself; personally, the way you uniquely use it. then you'll see how it'll normally perform under your own standards because you have been doing it all along.
[G3 General] liamR:
GSMArena claims that the audio quality (not speaker) in the G3 is spectacular but UNDERkg claims that it's not good at all.

What's going on with the reviewers every reviewer comes with a different impression form this phone, usually there is some consistency.

It make my buying decision very hard.

I hope that Erica Griffin will come out with her review soon, usually her reviews are exactly as my personal impression.

I'm a plasma TV guy so I'm addicted to my deep black levels. The g2 has the only IPS screen that has really impressed me with this. Just hoping that the g3 can at least match that panel although it doesn't according to that one gsmarena review
[G3 General] Semantics:
Engadget says - "Colors look vivid but not oversaturated; blacks are dark".

I saw that. And the verge also mentioned how the navigation bar blends with the black frame so in hopeful gsmarena just got a pretty production unit with a miscalibrated screen
[G3 General] Jishnu Sur™:
When I wrote the same thing on page 2, so many people were against me. So just like you said, please blindly follow gsmarena and buy The S5 :)

and please dont tell me how superior amoled is in sunlight if compared to lcd's. Made the biggest mistakes in life by buying my dad the Note and Note 2. But thats it, enuf learnt.
[G3 General] Aegyo:
the Note 3 is amazing in sunlight though
[G3 General] bloot:
Not an impressive screen if you ask me...
[G3 General] antigravity:
I'll have a unit in my hands in a few days, I'm very picky when it comes to contrast and well calibrated screens, so I'll let you all know what I think. I'm writing this on an old HTC One XL and it has one of the best IPS displays I've ever used. The S5 (which is my most recent handset) had the best I've ever used. Followed closely by the LG G2.

My last IPS phone, the Nexus 5, wasn't as nice... It's blacks and colours were a little washed out.

I'm hoping the G3 isn't the same
[G3 General] trincisor:
Yes the HTC one xl , was one of the best IPS screens.

Please post your thoughts of the G3 when you get it.
[G3 General] jeyd02:
Do you think pictures will portray their true vivid screen glory?
[G3 General] the Doctor:
The Phone Arena review is up. Confirms poor brightness and contrast. More pixels does not necessarily mean better pixels.
[G3 General] rfarrah:
Yup, and they are still reviewing a different model than we'll see in the states.

"Note that for this review, we're using the Korean version of the LG G3, which may exhibit some subtle differences in comparison with the international model."
[G3 General] trincisor:
Bummer!

Phone Arena reports a max brightness of 370 nits

GSMarena reports 570 nits.

Why is there such a huge variance?

Doubt if the lcd panels were ready for mass production, these large variances are generally found in pre production panels.

God help LG!

Phone Arena Battery Test
[G3 General] wargreymon89:
GSMArena had higher values for other phones compared to PhoneArena, so its not the panels but the measuring method. Unless PhoneArena consistently gets ****ty samples.
[G3 General] rushless:
The display looks dimmer and has been reviewed as such by most reviews. 370 seems more accurate.
[G3 General] hamad138:
gsmarena doesnt measure brightness, its the white level cant u read?
[G3 General] wargreymon89:
How else would you measure the maximum brightness?
[G3 General] trincisor:
No gsmarena measures brightness.

Hence it is in cd/m2 or commonly known as nits.

I wish gsmarena measured white level.

White level is measured in kelvins, K.

Ideally should be at 6500K. Its the white levels that give displays their yellow or blue shade.

Waiting for the anandtech review, they are very accurate and the tests are well designed.

For ex I remember the web browsing tests are designed so that the browser skips the cache and makes a new page request.

That gives an accurate depiction of real life battery use.

www.androidheadlines.com/2014/06/worry-lg-g3s-battery-life.html

I’ve been posting my results of battery life pretty much everyday on Google+. I’ve gotten 6 hours on screen a few times. I also did a test with using it at 50% brightness all day (something I’ll be doing with all devices in the future, because it seems I’m one of the few that uses it at 0% brightness all day, except when I’m outside) and I still got 3.5 hours with around 15 hours off the charger. Still not bad if you ask me. It’s not quite up to the LG G2′s battery life, but it’s right there with the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the HTC One M8, which I wish I had one or both here to compare it with to see exactly how close it is.

So far I’m happy with battery life. And that comes from a guy who’s first question is how’s the battery life? Now I have been on WiFi, since I’m always roaming with the LG G3, so it’s worth noting that. But even when I’ve been away from home, and on HSPA+, it’s done pretty well. Like I said, not quite LG G2 level battery life, but it is on par with the other 2014 flagships. It’ll definitely get you through a full day and then some, especially with the amazing standby battery it’s got.

[G3 General] vapotrini:
So basically 3.5 hours SOT with 50% brightness.... Would be interested to learn his usage. I'm still on the fence with this phone tbh. I think it's probably gonna die in no time flat while gaming or browsing.

I got my hands on a F400s. I am coming from an M8 and while the screen is brighter on the M8, the G3 is no slouch when it comes to the screen. Whatever difference you can perceive is more than made up for in the extra screen real estate. Just my two cents...

LG G3 Review! (4K): http://youtu.be/lTE337ITnAc
[G3 General] Sensamic:
Just saw Erica's Griffin review of the G3 display and battery.

Really really good review.

- Dim display (400 nits vs 500 nits on M8 and Nexus 5).

- Over sharpening looks TERRIBLE (in fact, it makes the QHD display look WORST than a 1080P one!! Amazing, but true).

- Less battery life (4 hours screen on time, same as my 2 year old SGS3)...

- Terrible screen outdoors.

- And WORST thing is, again, that the display lowers its brightness when it warms up, so considering the display is dim it's s**** that it does this, just like Erica says, with this display you need to have brightness at more than 65%, so...

It's just plain stupid of LG to have added this QHD display when 1080P is just perfect right now.

Wow Idk if you guys are being baises or just are lacking some common sense. In the pic of the comparison between the lg g3 and galaxy s5 previously shown, please notice the LG G3 is on auto brightness and the Galaxy s5 isn't. So ofc the auto brightness will dim the screen even having the lever all to the right. My lg g2 also does that. But if I take my auto brightness off it'll be even brighter.

Idk how people compare without even knowing something so critical.

Apparently you don't know that Internet is flooded with Samsung trolls, which are very eager to diss all of Sammys contenders. And it was posted that some of those trolls in Taiwan were even paid by Samsung to diss HTC in social nets on purpose

Anyway, it is irrelevant to compare screen brightness when camera being angled and not looking strait in front of displays. The amoleds indeed have better viewing angles but when looking straight in front of display the IPS screen will produce more brighter and better image

BTW, all non OLED type displays have light bleed and goes with the territory of how the panel gets the light. Just happens that on smaller displays (phones) it is not as noticeable as on a tablet or even bigger displays.
