[REVIEWS]

  1. REVIEW-SUMMARY - Review @ AndroidCentral
    1. ] by Alex Dobie - "LG's 2014 flagship is one of the best" For those who want the biggest screen, the highest-resolution display, the eye-melting 1440p display is but the icing on LG's 5.5-inch cake and some relatively niche features like wireless charging and a removable battery.This is a beast of a phone, one we can highly recommend. [DESIGN] rivals like HTC and Sony have it beaten in terms of build quality, and arguably software design too. LG's still only pretending with its plastic, faux-brushed-metal exterior.
  2. REVIEW-SUMMARY - Review @ ComputerWorld
    1. ] by JR Raphael - DESIGN LG's done some ] crafty engineering here, and the G3 manages to pack in that gigantic display without feeling too cumbersome or unmanageable.] attractive faux-metal finish, [DISPLAY] The screen looks absolutely stunning, [OS] LG's android skin, has been scaled back, more natural and pleasant to use, [DESIGN] a little awkward to hold  and use,  ] rear button setup is love it/hate it, [DISPLAY] the high res display not noticeably beyond current HD screens
  3. REVIEW-SUMMARY - Review @ AndroidPolice
    1. ] by David Ruddock - The G3 is an outstanding all-rounder with very few true weak points, and it's that lack of weakness that, I'd say, makes it so likeable"
    2. ] by David Ruddock - Addendum - 2 months later - the screen is NOT all that great, battery life is kind of sucky, KnockOn is major competitive advantge, rear mounted buttons are for winners, performance is great.
  4. REVIEW-SUMMARY -  Review @ Engadget
    1. ] by James Trew - "This companies best phone yet! camera is a great workhorse and will really turn out some good images, even under low light."
  5. REVIEW-SUMMARY - Review @ arsTechnica
    1. ] by Ron Amadeo -  [DESIGN] "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, [FEATURES] Tap-to-wake is still awesome. The laser autofocus is fast and accurate. A removable battery and MicroSD slot.
    2. ] Battery life, 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.
