This phone (and every phone) is ridiculously expensive which is part of the reason I rated it less than perfect. However, the phone has a near perfect camera and flash. Also the front facing camera is excellent as well. If you're using your phone for photos and you want absolutely perfect pictures then buy a phone that has a 4K camera. This camera isn't 4K but it's pretty good. The phone camera scores 9.75 out of 10. Now onto the features... Let's say you have an app open and you get a text message. I love the fact you don't have to go to another screen to text. You can stay on the app, and text your friends at the same time. The volume and power buttons are on the back of the phone instead of the side... This is perfect for people who love phone cases because most of the time phone cases have a weird setup which you can't get to your buttons easily. It does take some getting used to. You can use Straight talk if anyone is curious. You take your brand new phone to Walmart for their " bring your own phone" program and they will set you up. Here is the issues I have with the phone 1. It is an unlocked phone but it does use Att towers so it's not the best coverage. 2 the battery life is awful unless you don't use battery sucking apps. If you play a game on the phone expect the phone to die in less than 3 hours on a full charge. That's my review hope it helps... Advice for a case and cover: I bought the otterbox case and tempered glass cover for this phone and seriously please take this advice don't go for a cheap case spend 20 dollars for the otterbox and 8 dollars for the glass cover. You will be amazed at how slim the case is but real solid and even the feel of it is nice. The glass tempered cover leaves no fingerprints and works well with the touchscreen. So buy both to protect this expensive phone you'll thank this review later.... I do love the phone. Its the best alternative from the iPhone or the Samsung galaxy. I would put this third in line of quality. Maybe better than that since it's cheaper than the other two. Seriously save your money unless you're just in love with Siri.

I migrated from an LG L9 after 3years and the difference was night and day. It came unlocked and it was a hassle free transfer of the old sim card. The screen was tolerable with VR. The brightness and sound quality are sub par but don't tarnish the handiness of the device. Battery longevity is 3-6hrs heavy usage or 2days with select usage. With no usage the phone on, screen off, swipe close every app, it discharges only 8% a day. For clear 4k filming you have to be very steady with the phone but it does look good at 4k. If its your new phone for years to come put a screen protector on and get a good case.
Worth the upgraded hardware specs.

This is my 2nd LG G3 and I still love it! My old one broke due to over usage (the SIM card wasn't being read) so I replaced it with another L3. I love the camera and the display quality, especially. It's comparable with the Samsung Galaxy/Note phones and in some ways I like my LG phone a lot better.

I wanted to like this phone but the unlock process was incomplete. transferring my 1500 contacts failed and I could not complete setup. Best Buy took the return with no hassle. Replaced it with the Moto X Pure.

The large, super HD screen is a joy to view. The ability to add a micro SD card up to 128GB for expanded data storage is a big plus and one of the main reasons that I purchased the phone. Since it is unlocked, I was able to be added to an existing account for only the monthly per-phone charge.

This mobile has better specs than the S5 (its rival during its launch), but i feel that this mobile has aged badly and its very outdated not. I do not like the resolution of the screen.
Camera is very decent and its laggy at times. removable battery and support for micro sd is a big plus.

This was the LG flagship phone released in 2014. I chose this over Galaxy S5 due to it's 4K display & video recording capability. Overall, I am pleased with this phone. However, it's not exactly what I hoping for. For e.g., I have observed that Waze app often reports that GPS signal is lost. Also, while panning making videos, the video is not as smooth as I would have hoped.

Phone was advertised as unlocked. It did come marked as T-Mobile, but unlike previous reviewer, I had no problem setting the phone up with the Consumer Cellular network. Excellent phone, love it so far!

My review is actually of Bestbuy.com. - They are selling this as an unlocked phone but the packing slip and phone both say T-Mobile (the UPC# matches Bestbuy website ) When I tried to activate on AT&T, I found it to be locked to T-Mobile. Bestbuy.com sent another phone but it's the same problem. T-Mobile says it cannot unlock the phone because I am not a past or current T-Mobile customer.
