[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
I work for Best Buy Mobile. I'm not some dummy who just sells phones, I KNOW MY PRODUCT AND SERVICES. That being said, we were told that the G3 for VZW won't be out til the 17th of July. Also, we had a gift card promo where when u activate a New phone, upgrading or new activation, u got a $50 gift card. When the Sprint and AT&T G3 came out, I attempted to register my customers for this gift card promo so they could get it with their purchase of the G3. When it came time for me to select promotions in the BEAST program we use, the $50 promo never showed up. FOR ANY OF THE 20 OR SO G3'S I ACTIVATED THAT DAY. But it showed up for other phones, like the GS5, HTC ONE M8, stuff like that. With that said, those of you who preordered online thru BBY, I'm not exactly sure how that gift card promo will work for u guys.

Now, we have another promo going on for customers who are going to be purchasing the LG G3 thru us. For customers upgrading thru installment billing (ATT NEXT, VZW EDGE OR SPRINT FRAMILY), you get a $100 gift card PER LINE YOU ACTIVATE THRU THESE PLANS. From what I understand, these are only in store.

Now on to the good part... We have demos up in our BBY Mobile of all three carriers. I've been playing with the VZW model for the better part of a week. With that said, here are the comparisons I've made. The phones I used for the comparisons: HTC One M8, GS5, NOTE 2/3, LG G2.

The G3 is almost EXACTLY the same size as the HTC One M8. The width of the G3 is a lil wider than the M8. The obvious thi g is the screen resolution and size compared to the 2. Both feel excellent in hand. The G3 has this comfortable curve around the whole back of the phone to give the feeling of being thinner than it actually is. Both are about the same thickness. I will say that I prefer the build quality of the M8 tho. But the screen is a stunner. U especially notice while taking pictures and u cam see the fine detail u can't see on lesser screens. Not to me tion the fit a screen .5" BIGGER into a phone the same size as the M8. Very impressive.

The G3 screen size vs the Note 2 is the same exact size. But the difference is clear. U can clearly see the text better on the G2. The size is almost similar. G3 feels better in hand as opposed to the Note 2. The brushed metal effect on the G3 looks WAAAAAY better than the grey Note 2.

The G3 is a tad bit shorter than the Note 3. Better screen to me when I look at it and the colors aren't washed out. The phone looks and feels better to me as well vs the Note 3. Build quality wise, I like the G3.

G3 vs S5 is interesting. For my lifestyle personally, the S5 is a viable option considering I work out and am really active. It has a pretty good display as well. Plus the gold option for it is really nice looking. Compared to the G3 in looks, I still choose the G3. Its got a really simplistic, but sharp design. The screen vs the S5 is still better. There's no getting past the higher resolution vs these other phones. It feels better in hand than the S5 as well.

The interface on the G3 is a dramatic change from past LG devices. Very pastel like colors, redesigned status bar layout, redesigned camera I terrace and it's more simple to use in General. Things are A LOT more cleaned up and flatter looking. Every app, from the dialer, to the music player to the gallery is redesigned and flatter in appearance. The camera is pretty impressive. Its really fast and responsive. I've gotten some amazing shots from it myself so I'm very impressed with it. I've honestly not found many flaws with it. I've tried and tried to slow this phone down but I can't lol.
