The LG G3 trails rival flagships in our battery test

This rather disappointing result comes despite the battery optimizations LG claims to have included with the G3. For example, the LTPS panel dynamically tweaks variables such as frame rate when viewing static images, in order to arrive at a lower power draw in the longer term. LG also claims to have replaced a lot of metal on the inside with graphite, and to have also implemented further, unspecified battery optimizations. Well, whatever it is the company did, it clearly wasn't enough -- a bigger juicer (in terms of capacity) may have well been a warranted move. Thankfully, at least in terms of charging time, the LG G3 is only second to the amazing Oppo Find 7.
