The new LG G3 flagship sports 5.5-inch, 1440 x 2560 (QHD) pixel resolution screen, which provides the super-crisp, 538 pixels per inch.

The main 13-megapixel rear shooter comes with the company's improved Optical Image Stabilization+ and has a laser auto focus assist beam, which delivers fast focus even in low light scenarios. The 2.1-megapixel front-facing cam comes with an "enhanced selfie mode".

Great but no luck with me

Phone owned for less than a year

The phone was really good since I bought, started to have problems after 6 months of usage. The battery is being so weak, the monitor got damaged just when it fell less than 1 meter.. but multi-tasking, UI Speed, call quality, internet, display resolution, perfect.

Good price, excellent performance, I bought additional battery, very easy to change. Performs better than most expensive phones. Screen responds very well, i used to have an issue clicking on the wrong keys with my old phone, not with this one.

I like the LG version of Android, for the most part. The quick settings in the notification menu are nice and the Quick Remote app is awesome. The home screen is pretty customizable but Nova Launcher is still better. The gallery and music apps aren't that good.
