It is really that noticeable of a lag? I would assume a software update would make it run smoother. I currently have a Galaxy S3 and looking to upgrade
More geared towards heavier users, since light to medium users should love the G3.
1. Qhd display is a weak fit for the 801. Per several reviews (Anandtech as example) the 801 is operating at it's gpu ceiling with Qhd.
2. In a few months there will likely be an 805 version to help battle against the iPhone 6. The gpu is designed to handle higher res better due to more memory bandwidth and higher gpu clock. Also the battery life is expected to be improved over the 801.
3. Performance is throttled to manage the display more efficiently and overrides of this impact battery life more.
4. For heavy use, the average battery life compared to other S800 series devices is 90 to 120 minutes less screen on time. Key being Heavy use. Light to medium use should see no battery life impact.
5. The display: Gets very warm and is sensitive to ambient temperature as a result. Also the sharpness issue that has not been confirmed to be a setting issue. It could be an issue with how the gpu behaves with the display tech. Hopefully not and is a setting issue.
That is it, though item five is really two issues, so technically six reasons.
I'm reading this, perhaps incorrectly, as stating something to the effect of:
For the most heaviest users, something that may or may not exist in the near future might be better than this - but today there is still nothing better available. That being said, it's not as big of a jump as some previous devices have been over their respective previous generations.
For someone shopping today, do you feel there is a better option? I don't personally feel this is the one device that's a winner for everyone, but I don't see your arguments detracting from it against anything currently available - just against it's theoretical future or wished for self. Am I misunderstanding?
will need to watch more reviews on the product before i get one. I know for sure it will be a battery drainer, but hopefully not too bad.
I got my LG G3 Wednesday from AT&T. I've not noticed any lag. It's lightning fast. I did go through and disable a lot of bloatware...
I have been astounded at the battery life. I'm a pretty moderate to heavy user, and it given me a full day with battery to spare. Its got a battery saving mode that you can set to start at any percentage of the battery. There's nothing on this phone that isn't customizable. Doesn't seem to have a voice Mic on the keyboard. Only thing I'm still trying to figure out...

I just got my G3 today also, I noticed zero lag and lightning fast. I love it. I'm coming from a Galaxy s3
Coming from the S3 to the G3 is a very good step up. Even with Qhd, the G3 performs better than than the S3 in all aspects.
