Washed out refers to the colors and saturation, not the sharpness and detail.

Were you looking at the same thing on both phones? LG's new design language has a lot more subdued pastel color palette. Could that be why the screen didn't look as "punchy"?
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
Not fuzzy, just more yellowish/greyish tone than the whiter cleaner looking G2, at least the one I compared to my G2.

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

I thought that, but on screens with white backgrounds, settings screens, web pages, you could easily tell. I didn't want it to be the case and kept looking for excuses but I just had to admit it in the end./ All that said, turning up the brightness did help to make it at least appear brighter and more pleasing, but it will hit the battery. I guess most of what I am complaining about is the white point. Some people who like muted brightness and colors may like it. I just thought the G2 was more pleasant to look at.
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
Agreed, the questions and answers section of the order page for this case had a reply from a Rep dating the same thing essentially. Glad I didn't order one.
[Verizon LG G3] mjforte:
Okay guys my local Verizon store had 2 G3s on display the white and black. The black one on the back is definitely more of a gunmetal color. The front is all black though. Here's some pictures.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
I like the white one. Can you report on the screen brightness and clarity at around 70%.
[Verizon LG G3] mjforte:
I already left, screen looked good to me though in the short time I messed around with it.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
One thing I thought when fiddling with is that it felt light and compact for a 5.5" phone and sleek. Even felt sleeker than the smaller G2 to me in a way. I didn't really love the back, but compared to the G2 back it is a winner. It will be a darn shame to put a case on this because it will change the nice way this phone feels to hold. Its kind of hard to explain, but try one out and you'll see, but I don't see how you can go without a screen and have any chance on a front to ground drop..
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
The black color is the same as all other carriers, so the picture that was floating around the web to be blacker is incorrect.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
Oh good that looks great. So VZW Metallic Black is the same as everyone elses, I'm glad to hear.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
That black is so sick looking oh yeah love it
[Verizon LG G3] EVOme:
Thanks for those pics...Glad I got the white. Heading to my local store and see if they have it tomorrow
[Verizon LG G3] mjforte:
Yeah I really like the white one. Glad I preordered that one.
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
I canceled my pre-order and am going to try the BB method of upgrading
[Verizon LG G3] dustinb17:
I was dead set on getting the black, so much so I already ordered a black case, but now I'm not sure. Got a chance to play with them and the white does look good and the white chin on the front isn't bad.

As far as the dark black I haven't seen the others in person to compare but the color of Verizon's seems to be what I've expected it to look like. I wouldn't call it black, it's definitely gray but the front is completely black. The power button/camera ring are definitely silver which seems different than the others though.
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
Man. The black one kinda looks nice but leaning to the white still. I'll just back the black battery cover. Lol
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
The black one is just going to be a finger print magnet. Glad I got the white one. It'll look nice with a slim black or even white case.
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
Has a specialized anti finger print coating type a thing..
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
Yeaaaaa, I'm not sure that actually works. I've seen photos that showed otherwise.
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
Not really sure how big of a difference it is between the black and white one. Finger prints are gonna show on the screen of the white one just as easily as the black one. I could care less about fingerprints on the back of the phone. The only difference is the little "chin" underneath the screen.
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
I disagree completely, have you owned a white phone? Finger prints show up much less on white than they do on black. I went from a G2 black to a G2 white and was a huge difference.

Either way, it's nothing a case can't solve ☺
[Verizon LG G3] Alien-dx11:
I pre-ordered the black color, but for some reason I feel like I should've went with the white color. I've never owned a white phone before. Good thing there's that 14 day period for me to decide if I want to switch colors.
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
Yeah I have a white GS3. The difference with the white G2 is that there is a top and bottom bezel thats white. Here there's only half an inch on the bottom that is white. The rest of the front is just as prone to finger prints. If you really care about finger prints on the back of the phone then maybe that makes a big difference to you.
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
I was talking about the back, I should probably have clarified that. Lol
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
I think the white would look nice with this.
[Verizon LG G3] Rippley05:
Relax bud. I wasn't knocking it. The demo was setup merely hours before I got there. It lags. It's been stated by many, but, so does my s5.

Again. I had 20 minutes with it. I need more hands on time to decide.
[Verizon LG G3] Skizzy034:
The black one doesn't attract fingerprints at all on the back.

---------- Post added at 02:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 AM ----------

It definitely works.
[Verizon LG G3] Doddley:
Hey guys, I am thinking about getting this to replace my Bionic. I'm still using that as a daily driver. Think this would be an upgrade?:laugh::p
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
I have a white S4. It's shows fingerprints just as much as any other color.

[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
I think this is the same case I got or 1 of my 5 cases for g3 lol spigen clear?
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
Reakle or reakle can't remember lol.
[Verizon LG G3] rfarrah:
Just curious: why is your G2 on its last leg?

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

No way. My wife has T-M and her coverage is not near as good as VZW here in OKC. Pretty sure she'll be switching soon.
[Verizon LG G3] bill3508:
T-Mobiles coverage is terrible here also. Verizon is the only option. I pay for Verizon Home Fusion 30 GB but with that you are still very limited on streaming movies. Usually use that for gaming and stream off my phone. Very excited about the G3. Wish I could preorder already.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
I am betting VZW will be the last to announce a date and late in the month. Still suspect VZW will be weasels and only offer the 2/16 version. They would sell more if they sell only one model. The G2 has 32gb, but no sd. Never doubt the red monster, since they bank on their coverage map.

Perhaps a few weeks still to see.
[Verizon LG G3] sensatti:
Having a hard time deciding if I should hold out on this phone or pull the trigger on the M8. The only thing keeping me on the fence is having a removable battery and the extra RAM if they offer the 3/32 version.
[Verizon LG G3] dansto82:
Well i think i might switch over to VZW edge plan anyways (I tend to get the new flag ship phones so i'm always wheeling and dealing on CL which has become a PITA) They have open enrollment til June 30th if the G3 isnt out by then I'll be getting the M8 then probably the Note 4 later.
[Verizon LG G3] Colchiro:
Guess I can forget about buying it on the Father's day sale then.... :(

I've got an HTC One Max that I can't wait to return.
[Verizon LG G3] scrillakev:
Personally I'd try to wait it out a little bit longer for the G3. This looks like the phone to get in 2014.
[Verizon LG G3] rkial:
LG G3 pre-orders begin on July 10th at Verizon, with general release coming seven days later: 7/17 [via tip]

http://evleaks.at/2014/06/11/lg-g3-...-release-coming-seven-days-later-717-via-tip/
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
Awww you beat me to it lol.
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
I feel like its a little to late. Just because note 4 on the horizon and all. Or maybe not. Will see what pops from now till then
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
Note 4 isn't coming for many months still. Two weeks +/- on the G3 release date won't make any diff. But I wonder why VZW is getting the phone so much later than everyone else. Maybe they snagged a promo exclusive from LG?
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
There will always be something new on the horizon, Note 4 will def be bigger than this device, which I hope is the perfect size.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
we need to know what they are offering. if they go with a measly 16gb I'm probably out.
[Verizon LG G3] anl2304:
Well at least for Verizon there is a date (albeit from a leak). There has not been a clue from the other carriers.
[Verizon LG G3] JasonJoel:
July 17... Yeah, definitely passing now. I'll wait and see what the note 4 looks like in September. If it stinks, THEN maybe I'll get a G3 on sale...
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
It could change... Maybe earlier but knowing Verizon I would say later then this lol.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
this one?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HS5LYQ4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have it too lol
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
Yep lol.. Just waiting to see how it fits now. I was looking at the spigen but yea. I can't seem to get away with clear back since the nexus deal. They just look awesome
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
yeah cool and I have these 5 and still no phone :(
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
Lol damn. Hahaha. Nice cases. Those spigen thicker then the reakle? They look sweet.
[Verizon LG G3] ylexot:
I might have to get a different case. The one I ordered is going to cover up almost all of the white! I didn't know that there was so little white on the front. I'll probably end up with a white circle cover when they become readily available though.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
haha thanks man. I love my cases but need a phone now! & maybe just a little not much though. the spigen are the same case just one is gray outline and one is completely clear like Ringke.
[Verizon LG G3] ylexot:
This is the one I ordered:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KB59ZLO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Maybe I'll just put a U of MD sticker on the back since the phone will be red, white, and black.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
that looks nice. never heard of that brand though wonder what its like
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
Maybe we should have a 'Cases' thread for all of this?

I ordered these 3. The orange one is for my wife.

$28 shipped prime.

That's up to you, but I have had my hands on a Bionic before, and I'd say this is a huge upgrade.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
I like that orange one!!! and maybe we should start a case thread!
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
There should be a cases thread in the LG G3 Accessories sub-forum.

Here's one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2779044
[Verizon LG G3] halon17:
I have 2 lines, mine and my moms. We both have upgrades and i have unlimited. I want to upgrade my moms to G3 and when it arrives i want to put my sim in it and the transfer my upgrade to her line. Went to a store yesterday and was told that i can do that but after i transfer my upgrade and it gets used i lose my unlimited but a call to verizon said the opposite. Anyone know which is true?

Also.

If i can do that, when the G3 arrives do i have to activate it with her account then have it switched to mine or can i just put my sim and she can continue using her phone?
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
Here's what you need to do to keep your unlimited line. Upgrade your mom's line. Activate the new LG G3 on your mom's line. Swap your mom's old phone back to her line. Swap the activated LG G3 to your line.

So to answer your question, yes you can keep unlimited. and yes you have to activate it on her account then switch it to yours.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
correct. I am doing this with my dads. should work fine. activate long enough for my Verizon online to update and throw your sim in and boom! :D
[Verizon LG G3] halon17:
Thanks for the quick respose! Can i then just put her sim back in her current phone and we are both on our merry way?
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
yup!
[Verizon LG G3] halon17:
Went Verizon store and they said ...i can activate the g3 on the other line and then swithch it to my line but if i then, after that, transfer my upgrade to the other line, when it is used unlimited on my line will be lost.
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
Either they don't know what they're talking about, or they're trying to scare you out of your unlimited data. There have been many people that have kept their unlimited data by transferring upgrades, myself included. The only way to lose your unlimited data is to upgrade and activate on the line that has unlimited data. The act of transferring upgrades should have no impact.
[Verizon LG G3] EVOme:
No case....go naked!
[Verizon LG G3] monkeypunch35:
This is what I want to do with my mothers line. Only issue is she lives 750 miles away. I told her she would be without a phone for a day, but when I need to swap her current phone back to her number, can I do it with her not having the SIM from the new G3?
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
you should be able to do it online if you have a My Verizon account. You just need to register the IMEI number for her phone to her account without using the new sim.

When you log into verizonwireless.com under "Manage My Device" click "Activate or Switch Device"
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
Someone should just make a thread about keeping Unlimited Data on Verizon. There's been like 10 pages of discussion about this and none of it has to do with the G3, it's just cluttering up the thread with general VZW shenanigans.
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
There already is a ton of information already out there. Any new threads would just be redundant. People are just too lazy to look.
[Verizon LG G3] Eyalkn:
Lol I ordered the exact same thing, even the same color. I read about all the cases and even researched them on other phones and found out that Verus has the best quality cases.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
True, I just want to get the lazy people out of this thread.
[Verizon LG G3] droidrev71:
I think your thoughts on black versus white will make a difference in fingerprints showing is incorrect. Enjoy which ever fingerprint resistant one you get.

[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
I can confirm that this will work and I am a employee. You just can't have it done in store, because our systems could potentially screw it up. Just follow these instructions and all will be well.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
Just tried checking order status again, they said G3 is on back order and is expected to ship the 17th so arrival will be the 19th. Not looking good for getting it any earlier.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
What seriously?
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
Yep. I ordered a few hours after it went up for preorder too. But who knows, it's just a CSR looking at a computer. I was more interested in making sure everything was okay with my order and it was released.
[Verizon LG G3] Galaxynote1234:
Does anyone know how long the 50% off promo will last? I know it said until the 28th of July on the link that was posted a while back but I just spoke to two reps and they said they don't have a definite date so it could end at the end of next week.
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
If two people at verizon don't know, how could we possibly know? The only information we have is the info listed on the promo.
[Verizon LG G3] Galaxynote1234:
I figured there would be people that work at a Verizon store in this thread that could shed some light.
[Verizon LG G3] kpantz:
If I'm remembering my S3 pre-order days correctly, the "ships by" date would creep later as more and more people ordered, but folks who ordered earlier still got the original quoted ship date. Not sure if this is the same here, though.

I don't. I haven't decided on a case yet. Some of those cases look ugly to me too but to each his own. Obviously somebody likes them.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
The phone is so damn sexy, I don't know why someone would want to get a huge, ridiculous case like those linked. It's like putting a body kit with neon underlights on a Bentley.

An ultra thin feather type case protected my G2 from a full drop to concrete face down. I'll risk it from there. If the sides had a lip over the glass I'd even risk no case. These over the to cases just ruin the loo of the phone to me not to mention look ridiculous.
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
Not many of us are risk takers. I'd rather look at my phone scratch free or dent then looking at it with it. That's why I got the reagkle sp? Case. So still looks good and transparent all around

[Verizon LG G3] aku69:
Might seem like a silly question, but has anyone received their unit yet?

This morning I placed an order to upgrade our old phones (Galaxy Nexus) with one S5 (for the wife) and a G3 for me. On the Verizon website it now lists my order as shipped. I guess I'll receive it Monday. Not sure if it will be only the S5 or it will include the G3. I think it might be both, here is why.

After I placed the online order I noticed they where shipping the S5, I called up and said it didn't give me the option to pick it up like I thought it should have, they said because I had also per-ordered the G3 that they would ship together. That if I wanted to pick up the S5 today and wait for the G3 I would have to cancel the order and start all over. I said never mind, and I figured I would wait for both, to my surprise it states my order is shipped. I guess I'll know for sure on Monday but was curious as everyone keeps saying "BY the 17th" not "ON the 17th"...
[Verizon LG G3] killswitch23456:
I tried to search the thread but didn't find much.

Does anyone know the Model number of the VZW LG G3?? I've seen the D850 and D851 thrown around, but haven't found any confirmation to which one it is.
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
Ahh... But still, a case...

That's your opinion, I've got mine. Mine is something slim very protective, unique, and preferably a holster. No one said anything about your opinion, and you won't change ours, so...

I found a few good reviews for them, and mine just shopped, so I'll report next week when I get back from my conference. Unless my wife feels like taking some pictures.

Also preorders will start Shipping on Monday for those who preordered it the soonest.

---------- Post added at 03:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 AM ----------

For those who are wondering if their preorders shipped or when, The best information I can give you is, Verizon doesn't charge your card UNTIL order is shipped. People who used bill to account are excluded from this, because it automatically bills the account when order is placed. Emails with tracking information don't usually hit inboxes until later at night between 7pm - 10pm est. So if either of these didn't happen, then your phone isn't on its way.
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
thanks man! looking forward to seeing my card getting charged on Monday :)

I would try again, but it is releasing in just 4 days.
