The One (M8) and Xperia Z2 fall somewhere between the two extremes, and which you prefer will depend to a large extent on, erm, which you prefer. Grass looks like real grass, for instance, rather than some ultra-green alien variety. It’s noticeably cooler than the Galaxy S5’s warm AMOLED display, and not quite as punchy either. Nearly 100% of the people we asked spotted the difference in screen quality almost immediately, pointing out the sharpness of the G3’s display.Īs far as the colour palette goes, the G3 aims for the natural look. We placed the G3 side-by-side with the Galaxy S5, without revealing the resolution of the two devices to anyone.

It also means that it’ll look just as good when viewed from further away, and bear in mind that if LG had stuck with a 1080p display on a screen of this size, it would lack sharpness compared to its slightly smaller rivals. W hile its true value is felt only when you press your nose against the screen, or have the right 2K content, e ven the naked eye can spot how fine the edges of app icons are on the G3 when compared to those on the Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One (M8) and the Sony Xperia Z2. So how much difference does it make in real life? A fair bit, actually. In terms of pixel density it equates to 534ppi – higher than any phone we’ve yet seen. Pretty cool, huh? With 2560 x 1440 pixels adorning its IPS+ panel, your peepers are going to get one heck of a treat. It’s bigger and sharper than those on any of its rivals, while fitting in a similar size body. This is where the G3 really shines – that amazingly sharp 2K display. Using your index finger, to be honest, will soon feel more natural and less strenuous than stretching your thumbs to the sides of the Galaxy S5, One (M8) or Xperia Z2. Sure, you might struggle to find them the first few times but in our experience new users get about a 90% hit rate within seconds of picking the phone up. G2 upgraders will adapt to the G3’s new design like a fish to water, but that’s not to say first-time users will be baffled by the rear placement. Where the power and volume controls on the G2 were somewhat unsightly, they now have a nice textured finish and a sophisticated design, which makes them both easier to locate and to work out which is which. Loved the rear buttons on the G2? You’ll adore the G3’s improved versions. I f you do juice it up via the traditional microUSB port, you’ll notice that there’s no pesky removable plastic cover of course that also means that it’s not waterproof in the way that the Sony and Samsung phones are, which has to earn it a tick in the minus column. Plus, it makes wireless charging possible, if you team it with a suitable charger. That allows for a battery swap-out, should you need one, and also gives you access to the microSD slot, which would otherwise have to sit on the G3’s pristine sides. The G3 is also considerably lighter than both the M8 and Z2 – and unlike either of those phones has a removable rear cover too. We’d certainly choose it over the Galaxy S5’s plaster-like back, and while the Sony Xperia Z2‘s slab-of-glass design might be prettier, you’d rather have this in your hands (or pockets) than Sony’s hefty handset. Though the G3’s body is technically 80% polycarbonate, the 20% of metal mixed in with it gives it a premium look, even if it can’t quite match the HTC One (M8)’s premium feel. Speaking of the back, it’s a mostly plastic affair but again you might well be fooled into thinking otherwise. You won’t need to stretch your fingers in order to reach the top of the screen. That’s thanks to the noticeable curve round the back, which makes it easier to grip and fools your hand into thinking that it’s smaller than it is. It’s also surprisingly easy to hold and use despite that big screen.
