This isnt their flagship device, you will see all of these in G4.
ALso from what i saw on that hands on video , every second time that guy touched display there was lag . LG really dosent know how to optimize their phones. Super fast CPU / RAM and low pixels and still stuttering , really ?

Right on, the one thing which would make me buy a LG phone is getting rid of the overlay skin. The Nexus 5 was damn near perfect except for the camera and battery. This phone remedies those issues but increases size and adds nasty overlays that introduce lag and prevent timely updates from Google as negatives.
If there's a google-play edition of this phone I'll be buying it.

quote PA: "A QHD display on a 5.5" display would have resulted to a pixel density of 534ppi, just slightly less than the LG G3, for example". umm, correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the G3 also have QHD on a 5.5" screen? So how can a QHD res on a 5.5" screen have slightly less ppi than a QHD res on a 5.5" screen? Same res, same size, should equal same ppi, or am I missing something?

Lol, 3GB of memory comes with the 32GB model, not the 16gb. Not trying to be an Apple hater, but the comments 2,3, and 4 can also apply to the Iphone, but I do not see that list anywhere. And why does the caption read "5 things that could make the G3 an even better" phone" that's above the pictures?

The only two that make sense is the increase in RAM (which could be important if you're into multitasking) and the increase in camera megapixels (although the iPhone has been stuck at 8 MP and has proven to be a decent contender against 13MP offerings). The screen resolution is not as important as color reproduction, contrast (are the blacks really black), and brightness (can I use this outdoors?). And as far as the battery capacity is concerned I would imagine the Snapdragon 810 would be even more efficient than the 805 since it's using Cortex A53 and A57. Also, it has an OLED display that should use minimal power compared to the LCD they used in the G3. In fact, just by the screen resolution being 1080p instead of QHD will allow the battery life to be better.

Agreed. I would say it would get at the very least, an extra 40 mins of screen on time (depending on how bright the screen can get).

nah.....you cant differentiate between FHD and QHD, but the effect on battery is HUGE! especially when they are using 8core cpu....secondly i dont think MPs define a camera...iphone 6 plus take amazing shots with 8mp, ive never felt the need for 41mp....more ram is legit demand as android requires more ram....the thing that would have made this a must buy would have been ip67 rating

You can tell a difference between FHD (1080P0 and QHD ( 2k-4k) screens. It's most noticeable if you read a lot on your phone. The text is clearer and easier to read. Also when you open a webpage, such as phonearena.com, you can actually read the wording of the stories from the original loaded page with out having to zoom in. You can on a FHD screen as well, but it is a lot clearer on a QHD screen.

I think teenaxta was reffering to QHD as Quad HD, which is actually 2k on phones which is 1440x2560.

No way man. 720P is not the same. If you read like I do, and I read a lot, there is a huge difference when a web page loads up and being able to read the text on it. 720P display is blurry, not as legible as a 1080P or QHD(2K) screen. Live with a 1080P device for 3 months, and look at a 720P display, your eyes will for sure notice a difference. Trust me on this, I am speaking from experience. Heck, I bet you have a 1080P T.V. Please find one that is 720p around the same size as yours and tell me you can not tell a difference, or better yet, go to bestbuy or where ever and compare a 4K and 1080P display, you can for sure see the difference with out having to stick your eye to the screen.

Don't know if it is possible with the self healing back but maybe something a little more matte instead of glossy. Everything else sounds good. Will have to see this in person though before I would dismiss it.

well the battery part is not really needed
it is an FHD screen after all, so it ain't need more battery capacity
anyway, what i really wonder is, how will it sound on AnTuTu and other Graphics benchmarks??
1080p with S810 will let the phone butery smooth
