          @wildstone:

          Are you sure. I also grabbed lg g pro 2 and believe you can. the g2 however you cannot from memory

        • furythree on 22/07/2014 - 12:08
          +7

          so far in every phone thread you have posted in, youve shown that you know nothing about phones

          instead you are so price concious that you blindly go after the sub $400 phones expecting too much

          Now that youve committed to the LG G pro 2, youre trying to justify that it was worth it over the G3 thats less than double the price

          Let me put it this way

          you get what you pay for

          but when it comes to phones there is an upper and lower ceiling

          Last gen phones usually quickly depreciate to the $300 mark for new
          and new gen phones hover around the $550-600+ mark for new

          Unfortunately usually the difference in features and performance is not actually double, it is still usually a significant improvement otherwise nobody would ever consider buying it.

          THe processor and screen are the two main differentiating factors

          So is a 40% increase in real world processing performance and better screen and camera worth 40% premium in price?

          That is up to each person to deterine whether the alternative to wait 1 year of your life to upgrade to equivalent specs is worth it or not

          so you'll never get the best phone for what you paid for the G Pro 2
          but at the same time the current gen Flagships are worth their premium

        • iDroid on 22/07/2014 - 12:09

          Also consider that the GPU is only an Adreno 330 and it has a LOT of pixels to push around for this desktop display squished into a phone.

          Don't expect the same gaming performance form this device vs the 1080p competition/predecessors (if you're into playing games on your phone).

          Word on the street is that the difference between 1080p and 1440p screens at this density are not really discernible - so don't jump in just for the OMGZ dE piXELs rush.

          Looks like a great phone still, if this doesn't concern you!

          @furythree:
          Not to get into an argument but vid_ghost has a point. The LG g pro 2 has only been out a few months and technically is not last gen. It will be I guess in September when the note 4 eventually comes out since this would be the competing phone. Doing some research it looked like the lg g pro 2 was more expensive then the Note 3 overseas not long ago however the note 3 is still twice the price for a very similar phone (minus the S pen) mostly because it is more popular I assume. The LG pro 2 is a pretty competitive phone for the price point especially. Sure the LG g3 has some extras as new phones do but it does not make the g pro 2 obsolete by no means for most phone users.

          Your argument would be much better suited for the HTC one MAX compared to the HTC one M* which is what I was comparing and found the M8 would be worth the price difference. With the LG pro 2 and the G3 not so much unless you are really keen on the new features

          @wildstone: Most important missing feature from the G Pro 2 which meant I didn't end up buying one is the lack of FM radio…

          801 v2 silicon its a second fabrication of the same product! for better yelds and more Mhz .. this is done with Intel and AMD all the time as a product matures they release updated versions with higher clock speeds on both CPU, internal GPU and memory bus frequency.

          @striker5950: I'm tech savvy so I recognise the QHD is a waste of battery and graphics processing power on a display of this size. It is a mistake to put a QHD display on a screen of this size at this point in time. Games will run worse on it and the battery drain will be significant while performing anything graphical (screen on time)

      Depends. If you read a language with more detailed characters than the Latin alphabet then 1440p and higher smartphone screens are very important.

      I like small print. On current hi rez screens I find text to be either blocky or grey and blurry. A few fonts even have a mild anaglyph 3D effect. I want smooth, high contrast, print like text on my devices without the disadvantages of e-ink.

      But I agree, at this price the G3 makes no sense. A Samsung S5 LTE-A (with snapdragon 805) would be a better upgrade as you won't notice the performance loss moving from 1080p to 1440p.

  • VVilf on 22/07/2014 - 11:24

    Topbuy has the 16gb for $560.75 + $26 shipping. Cheapest I could find.
    Now that the phone can take micro SD cards I wonder if this 32gb is worth the extra ~$50 (assuming there is no 15% - 20% Sunday discount)

    • 2real4u on 22/07/2014 - 11:32

    • stargalaxy on 22/07/2014 - 12:44

      If the difference in price between the 16GB and 32GB version is less than $50, it is definitely better to get the 32GB one due to the extra ram and storage. SD card is good but generally it is slower than the internal storage.

      Zerolemon it! Have the 10,000mah batt on a note 3 and it's one monster brick of a power bank. Disgustingly big and heavy but goes for 2 days straight. Never have to top up charge during the day or be afraid of running out of juice.

      Yeh I've found battery life to be average. Get barely a fulls day use with wifi/data/bluetooth/auto brightness and decent screen time but again it's based on your on usage. Major plus side is the extra battery (comes with the korean model), always lug one around just in case :)

      • twister292 on 23/07/2014 - 02:05

        Apparently the screen is a HUGE power hog…the only other 1440p screen is the Oppo Find 7, and even that gets much worse battery life than it's "Find 7a" sibling with a 1080p screen…

        I think for the current SoCs, 1080p is a good balance of performance/battery life…this is a step backwards and a substantial one.

    Some people may understate the need for RAM when it makes the biggest difference for smartphones running multiple apps.

      I think Apple will still be around for a long time to come, there are a lot of people liking Iphone for all sort of reasons and I think it is going to stay the same for a while. I have an Iphone 4 before, must be 4 years but once I got the Note 1, I just can't go back to the tiny screen of the Iphone. My current phone is a Note 3 and LG G2 and still have the original Note 1(Note 1 is lagging badly now due to the limited 1GB ram)

      Nah, eBay isn't going to launch another 20% off for this month. Trust me, I got this info from a reliable source.

    Ugh I hate you guys, you're making me want a new phone. I must admit I am getting a little sick of my Nexus 5's crap battery life. Seriously considering making the plunge.

    Terrible display… GOOD PRICE

  • Ronnnie on 22/07/2014 - 19:30

    This phone will probably be sub $500 soon enough. You can get a 1+1 for around $450 too.

    • inamberclad on 22/07/2014 - 20:45

      Out of curiosity how do you buy that? Still by invite only?

    • kaikor on 22/07/2014 - 21:28

      I doubt this, even G2 still around $400, i m waiting for G2 to go below $300, and will get that for sure, after playing with one in the shop, i m quite impressed.

      • Ronnnie on 22/07/2014 - 21:59

        I wouldn't be surprised to see once demand drops, since they are bringing out a version with the 805. http://m.gsmarena.com/lg_g3_cat_6_goes_official-news-9100.ph…

        Best phone i ever had … is a LG G2 ..!

        Have a look at this photo of mine: https://twitter.com/JulianLitcanu/status/456952310963249152/…

        • highon2str on 23/07/2014 - 10:51

          That's awesome. Think you've just swung me the G2 way. No point having that much more horsepower in the G3 with substantially less batt life.

          I see Jb have a local model G2 for under $500. Hmm…

        • Ronnnie on 23/07/2014 - 20:28

          @highon2str:

          The G3 doesn't have much more horsepower at all. A couple of hundred mhz extra clockspeed is hardly anything especially when the processor/gpu has to push around a hell of a lot more pixels, if anything it will offer less performance than the G2. That being said, there's a few things the G3 has going for it over the G2 that are worth considering, such as expandable memory and laser focus camera etc.

          Also judging by the small performance gains by chips like the 805, I am hoping that the tegra k1 adds some competition and lives up to its benchmark performance. It seems people are easily fooled into thinking adding a couple of hundred mhz and increasing the chip naming number = a huge jump in performance. Lack of competition doesn't help.

          @Ronnnie: But the screen and camera of the G3 is much better though.

    any1 knows where to buy genuine quick circle case? I live in Melbourne, any online stores can work as well :)

  • uqup on 23/07/2014 - 00:49

    Thanks OP! Have been waiting for a good deal for this phone, just bought the gold.

  • congo on 23/07/2014 - 13:15

    Do I need this if I have a Nexus 5?
    If so, what are the reasons for justifying it?

      no need! wait another year or so for better phones.
