    She loves it! Nice large screen made it easy for her to transition from an actual keyboard to the on screen version. Easy for her to figure out how to operate. Easy to use camera and takes great pictures

    I purchased the LG G3 when I was eligible for upgrade. My husband had chosen the LG G3 a few months earlier and was very happy with the phone. So when it became available for $1 plus Best Buy gift card, it was an easy choice for me. A nice camera was important to me, and I was happy with the photo quality on his phone. We also wanted the expandable storage capability available with a microSD card slot.

    When I done my research on a new phone, I was deciding between this and the Galaxy S5. My wife had an S4 and I really liked it. The S5 had some new features that I wanted, but when I compared it against the G3, the G3 won due to not having as much "bloatware", more core memory (3 Gb vs 2 Gb on the S5), and the slightly bigger screen size. I am very happy with my choice. The rear buttons are great on the G3. Due to the size of the phone, they make using it a lot easier. The battery life is unbelievable. I am a little disappointed because I thought the laser focus would cause almost instant photos, but it can be a bit slow in taking pictures. One additional thing is that there are some apps that worked fine on my Motorola Photon Q that will not load on my new phone, such as Redbox, Credit Karma, and various others. This, to me, makes no sense since this phone is supposed to be one of the most advanced phones on the market.

    Excellent flagship phone from LG

    This is an excellent flagship phone from LG. It is lightning fast, has an excellent camera, and a beautiful screen. It comes with a giant battery but don't expect it to last all day with heavy use due to the amount of pixels in the screen. From the start I had major battery issues with the Sprint Connection Optimizer draining the battery in hours. Once removed, the phone lasts all day with moderate use. LG kept it pretty basic, close to stock, Android and it works very well, nice and smooth, apps load quick, and no slowdown anywhere. The removable back to get to the battery and MicroSD card slot is another plus. I was originally concerned about the amount of plastic and lightweight but after a few rough handling everything is still in mint condition. The overall design aesthetics are excellent and it takes no time at all to get used to the power and volume buttons on the back, I actually prefer it there now. I would recommend this phone to anyone as long as they understand that with a UHD display the battery life will be less than competing phones.

    This phone is great. I have had Galaxy phones previously and got this one because of the ratings and the deal at the time. I am NOT at all sorry! I love the screen resolution and camera quality. The reception is always great too! Only thing I miss is that I cannot set up separate text notification sounds for each person. I had that option on my Galaxy and really loved it...but I am learning to live without it.

    I upgraded from an iPhone 5 to the LG G3 when they launched, having used the phone for almost 2 months now I can honestly say I couldn't be happier with my decision. The G3 is fast, well organised, well equipped, and the screen is vibrant and beautiful. Battery life is excellent, I work in IT and use my phone constantly throughout the day, I usually have 60-70% battery left when I clock out for the day. Bloatware on this phone is minimal, and LG made a point to keep it as simplified and clean as possible, so you can hide the stuff you can't get rid of (in my case the Sprint apps).

    I've had this phone for 4 months now and have no complaints. The camera is excellent. Very clear pictures and video. They are very large files so I have to clear out the card more often but the quality is great. The buttons on the bottom took a little getting use to but double tapping the screen brings it up so i don't have to use them as often. Battery last most of the day with moderate use. I am very happy with the phone.

    While it took a few days to disable all the notifications that are on by default, this phone has proven to be a substantial upgrade over my previous Samsung galaxy s3. The screen is tremendous, and I quickly got used to the larger form factor. The screen is a delight. Everyone is impressed by the ultrahd sample video that comes loaded from lg.

    I love my new phone it's a definite upgrade from my previous phone giving me plenty of internal memory, great ram( the only lag so far has been internet lag), I wish there was some way to give more battery but with how much I use the phone the battery life is understandable and it keeps up for the most part.

    I have consistently buying LG phones for a few years now, and each new phone is better than the last! This one is no different (never mind the fact that the G4 is out now). The screen is slightly larger than my old LG Optimus G, the picture quality is amazing, and the sound is very good.

    This LG G3 phone is awesome! Quad HD display, 5.5 inch screen, phone is very light, controls on the back of phone are genius! Frees up space on sides for display! Has a replaceable battery which is 3000 miliamp hours! Has a phenomenal 13 megapixel camera with Laser focus! (Many firsts in the industry! ) I can't describe how pleased I am with this phone!

    Great upgrade from S3

    As I was shopping for new phones, I was think of getting Galaxy series (S5 or Note 3) vs. LG G3 Value: By renewing 2 years contract w/ Sprint, (Thanks to Best Buy deals and promotion at the time) I paid $50+tax per phone. Function: I don't know where to start... Many people already know the specs. So, I will point out some noticible difference from Galaxy S3. Double tap to turn on/off phone, volume/power buttons on back is huge change and I like it. No buttons on any 4 sides is big plus for me. Once you get used to it for a few days, you probably don't want to go back. Screen resolution is stunning although I personally like the color & brightness on Samsung Galaxy series screen better (you can change the color manually w/ LG G3, but it's not easy to find right color). 3GB RAM is big reason for my decision as 2GB RAM on Galaxy phones make things little bit slower as you get more apps on the phone. UI: I din't liked TouchWiz from Samsung and used 3rd party UI app. But I like UI from LG G3 and using stock. Design / Durability: Personally, I like the design of LG G3 far better than Galaxy phones, but Galaxy phone feels and looks stronger. As you know LG G3 is not waterproof like Galaxy S5. Summary: I believe I made the right move switching to LG G3. Bigger screen, more RAM, faster speed & easier to use. And it was great price.

    Took a bit getting use to the power and volume buttons being on back instead of the sides. Camera is awesome, pictures are clear and the camera app allows you to do so much. Battery life is great. Last all day and that is with me using it all day.

    Got this phone due to great reviews on mobile sites. Great batter life, lasts at least 12 hours of good use ( checking the internet, playing music from phone, texting). The camera is great as well. Look into getting the cover that has built in wireless charging, which i purchased, and it is awesome!

    Great phone! This phone does everything well and some things exceptionally. Probably has the best in-phone camera out now. Lacks only a more rugged case (hint, get s protective case) and the ability to charge wirelessly without an adaptor. Bluetooth audio streaming is effortless.

    Love the phone. It was easy to switch from a Samsung Galaxy SIII. The phone works very well on both data network and wi-fi. Battery is better (but still not enough juice for heavy use) and recharges much quicker than my SIII. Speed is excellent, screen is wonderful, love the button placement, calls are clear. Not sure what to complain about, so I won't.

    It has it all and can do it all. It is future-proofed with Android updates coming thru Lollipop. Extra storage and battery available. The 3gb of ram and processor will go a long way. My wife and I have one. My son's G2 is still cooking! Will probably get him one as well.
