[WHY] PROS
Ultra-slim bezels pack the 5.5-inch screen into a relatively compact body.
While plastic still isn't the greatest, the plastic in the G3 is an improvement over the high-gloss plastics LG has used in past devices.
Tap-to-wake is still awesome.
The laser autofocus is fast and accurate. Also it uses a laser!
The screen looks great, but it's not a noticeable improvement over a 1080p device.
LG's software mostly looks nice and doesn't overload the user with crap.
A removable battery and MicroSD slot.
[WHY NOT] CONS
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.
It's pretty much impossible to tell the difference between 1080p and 1440p on a ~5-inch device.
The UI sometimes stutters. Pushing all those pixels takes lots of GPU power that isn't always available.
The Recent Apps screen is a cluttered mess. It's also one of the few Android pieces you can't replace.
Spec-sheet-driven design. The 534 ppi screen doesn't improve the user experience and drags down battery life, but it will make for good advertisements.
