Your thoughts on this phone

[Rourke24]

Hey, I really tempted by this phone, positive reviews but few slight issues, as all phones have I guess.

I currently have a nexus 5, and one issue for me not amazing battery or camera.

My regular usage is mp3 (stored on phone), social networks, sports pages, YouTube, email, text, calls.

How are you finding it battery wise on a normal day?

I also have a Nexus 5, and in fact am using it now. Overall a superb phone in my opinion. In respect of battery, I suppose the G3 gives about one third more use before I need to recharge.

The battery usually lasted my full 10 hour work day with moderate use. Coming from an SGS3, it was quite an improvement. I just bought a 9,000mA extended battery and it lasts me ~2.5 days or so, and the camera holds up well for me.

I've had my g3 for about two weeks. Came from note 3. And love it

Yes the battery isn't the best but it's on pay with other high end phones.

And the camera I find is actually quite good.

Battery and Camera are not an issue, as good or better than anything else out there.

How is the display quality in comparison to the Note 3? Do you notice anything substantially different?

Well the g3 has the QHD display with higher ppi so, much sharper than the note 3. . But I tried out a note 4 for a week or so, and returned it. The note 4 display was amazing but was tired of Touchwiz and all the bloat.

I'm really liking my g3 alot.

If you use MP3s, one huge advantage the G3 has over the N5 is microSD.

Thanks all for comments, greatly appreciated. I do like the removable battery and sd slot. I'm happy with size, would prefer 5.2in but I can survive with 5.5

Any must do tips etc? To make better experience? Battery life?

I would be coming from a N4. I am so used to stock Android now that I get frustrated on a Samsung in even just trying to understand the menus to find settings etc. Is the LG relatively simple in this regard and is there much bloatware from LG on it? My natural upgrade was supposed to have been N6 but not sure anymore.

I think you will love the G3, if you are okay with how it feels in hand. The N6 is a pretty large phone.

Love the G3. Battery life, not so great. Could not get it to last a whole day, factory reset, install apps one at a time to see if somebody had issues. Latest software update seems to have made a bigger difference, and it has improved slightly. Keep my screen at 30%. Got a little laggy after I just reinstalled SWYPE (my favorite keyboard, but may have to change). The other app I have not reinstalled was Verizon Messaging (my favorite text program) to see if that caused battery and or lagging issues. That will be my next experiment.

I went from the nexus 4 to the nexus 5 to the g3 and I actually had a pretty good experience with it. I like their UI much more than touchwiz

How do you like the signal strength in poor signal areas?

I went from N5 to G3 for the same reasons: battery and camera. Was going on a long trip so I wanted something to take pictures with and that would last longer than the N5 did. I love the battery life. Moderate use, including bluetooth headset for about an hour to and from work, and I have 30% left when I go to bed. But I'm still torn: I love vanilla android, esp now with 5.0 out, so I might go back to my N5 for a bit and take a charger to work with me.
