Top phone out of all the top phones!
Short version - awesome phone. Don't worry about the buttons on the back. If you want a big phone, this is a great one. Get it.Long version; I have a few phones and I will compare this one. I will mostly use the Droid Turbo as a basis for comparison, since there aren't many phones out there with a QHD panel. I also have a 2014 Moto X and a HTC One M8 and Max. So yeah, I have a few points of reference.Now the big thing - the panel. The QHD panel on this phone is nothing short of amazing. If you are used to colors that jump out at you, like the older Samsungs, this one will look a lot different. Colors are realistic and the resolution will astound you. WHile there aren't many apps that actually use all that res, it's there and believe me, you can tell. My most used app is Kindle, and reading with this resolution is a sheer pleasure. What I don't like is it can't present a real sepia, which seems to be a problem for LCDs. It's very white. The fonts are razor sharp at any size. It's great. The Turbo has the same QHD type panel in a smaller space, so density is a little higher and the LED display is more saturated. But the Turbo display isn't as good as this. There is just something about LCDs which is less in your face, but easy on the eyes. If you look at your phone as much as I do, that matters.One thing that worried a lot of people was power consumption. QHD, it's said, takes more power and that makes sense. You are switching more transistors, and that takes power. But that is just not an issue. I make it all day with plenty of juice left, just like on the Turbo.Physically it's a big phone. Somewhat larger than the Moto X, about the same as the Turbo, but the G3 is thinner than the Turbo. So it's very small for it's screen size, which is LARGER than the Turbos. The controls on the back are easy to get used to.Notifiers are pretty basic. There is an LED that, with the proper apps, you can control the color of for a notifier. The Turbo and Moto X have on-screen notifiers, which in the Moto running Android 5 (Lollipop) are nicely detailed. However I prefer the LED believe or not. It's less obtrusive and I can tell what the notifier is by color. That's all I need. I'm an old Blackberry guy, so that's what I am used to.Performance is smooth and stutter free when running the usual tasks; Kindle, email, SMS, videos, GPS turn by turn guidance, and at work taking pics, graphing and other math (I'm an electronic engineer). There was a slight stutter on dense graphics, but a recent update seems to have helped that. By comparison the Droid Turbo screams on the high density stuff, so it can be done and I thing LG is getting it right.Sound is good. Not great, but very good. Speakerphone sounds fine, calls are nice, loud and clear, and watching video is good. By contrast sound on the Motorolas is great. About on M8 level, and the Motorolas are better than anything else including the M8 when on the phone held to the ear. So ranking in sound are the Motos, M8, then the G3. But bear in mind they are ALL very good.As far as reception, I have had zero problems. It seems as good as my Motos, and that's a high standard. No drops anywhere. Admittedly where I live, there is good signal everywhere. So your experience may be different. I am planning a trip to visit my niece in North Carolina, where she lives in basically the rear end of nowhere with terrible signal. I will re-evaluate at that time. The only phone I've had that did well was a Blackberry.So, battery life excellent. Sound good. Screen superb. Size to screen ratio superb. This is just an all around great phone and I put it right up there with the Turbo, M8, and anything else. If you have pocket space and want a lot of very sharp screen without going to a Note sized phone (but still getting very near that screen size in a smaller, less expensive package), this is the phone you want. I'm a happy camper with this phone.

BEST ANDROID VALUE OUT RIGHT NOW BUY THIS PHONE!
My upgrade was not until November and I couldn't wait to dump my Galaxy S3. I have been doing my research on a new phone since back in May and was taken aback by the G3 with it's screen, camera and excellent reviews. I knew the Note 4 and the new iPhones were on the horizon as well and am adept at using both Android and iOS so this would not be a problem.Well price became a factor for me and I knew the G3 was the lowest priced of the devices in regards to a 2 year contract update with AT&T but was not willing to pay 199.99 or even 99.99 not including tax for the device as I figured I might as well shell out the extra money for either a Note 4 or the iPhone 6. When the G3 dropped to 49.99 on November 1 (the first day I could get my upgrade) I was sold. Getting a deal on a great phone with a great screen is always a good feeling especially when you know you will have to use said device for the next two years. The screen is a power hog as CNET described but it sure is beautiful and the little speaker on the back has more power to it than any other phone I have ever owned.If you are worried about having the power and volume on the back of the phone don't be, you get used to it very quickly. The knock knock feature is excellent as well, it makes having an actual button on the front of the device seem outdated. LG really did a marvelous job with this phone. I just wish it had come with a new pair of headphones but my old samsung ones should work fine.The camera is decent. The laser autofocus works very well but the grainy android photos are still an issue indoors and at night, I will have to try taking a picture outside during the day to see if anything changes. This seems to be an across the board issue with every android device I have ever used but from what I was using (S3) this is a massive improvement. I will have to see pictures on a Note 4 to compare at some point and am aware the iphone 6 plus probably does take a better picture in low light and indoors. Again for the price I am not complaining, THIS PHONE IS THE BIGGEST STEAL FOR ANYBODY RIGHT NOW!If you are living on a tight budget and need a new device BUY THIS PHONE! The screen size is just right and for being 5.5 inches it is incredibly ergonomic! The displays at the store do not do this phone justice, THIS IS THE BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK PHONE ON THE MARKET RIGHT NOW! Easily smokes my friends S5! Even the stock weather and clock on the home screen are beautiful! Anybody that gets this device will tell you for the money you will love it!This is easily a far superior and less cluttered (far less bloatware than Samsung devices) android experience, if you want the Nexus 6 but don't like the fact it does not have SD CARD SUPPORT OR A REMOVABLE BATTERY you will love the LG G3!!!!!!! This is the best android phone of 2014 by far! I love my Nexus 7 tablet since it is pure android but for the money and removable battery and sd card support (it takes up to a 128gb but I put in a 64gb) this is the best android phone for the money! Bang for your buck this is it!

Basura
Terrible, parecía usado. Venía maltratado de la tapa posterior y al ser de importación me cobraron los gastos de importación. Afortunadamente bajo solicitud Amazon aceptó reembolsarlos.
