LG G3 (D850) Metallic Black

First let me say, my last 3 phone's have been Samsung's. So after doing a bit of research, and seeing how cheap my upgrade would be, I settled on the G3. My order arrived within 34 hours after purchasing it. (2 day free shipping) Unboxed everything, started the charging process and then began restoring all my data. I used CM Backup and highly recommend it, as it was one of the quickest restore's I've ever done. Then I went about digging into the settings, and optimized things for battery drain purposes. Almost all of my app's synced via the Google Play services update. About 80% anyway. So I installed the things it missed, organized my home screen and then read a few "tip's and trick's" articles online about all these other unique features the phone offers. My favorite has to be being able to quickly pull up the camera via the volume down button on the back. Very handy. Another tip is to change the picture rez within the camera settings. By default, it's set to 12mp, you can up it to the full 15 with one switch. Other than that, the battery charged in less than 3 hours!! Another first for me as my S3 would take at minimum 4 hours. So now I'm putting it through it's paces to see what I get out of the battery on it's first charge. Then of course keep charging and discharging at least 3x to get the max life out of the battery. It's a beautiful phone, especially compared to my S3. I'm sure it'll take a while to get completely adjusted to LG's version of TouchWiz and functions. But so far, I'm very happy with the phone and even though it's not all metal, It wasn't made to look like the plastic it is. Has a nice sturdy looking design and just feels right in my hand. (average size) Gorgeous screen and very snappy response while multi-tasking with various apps and features. And for 1 penny?? The best penny I've ever spent. I'll try to update on my experience with it in a few weeks. ----------------------------------------------------- EDIT: Jan 19th - So far, so good. This screen is gorgeous and the quad core cpu combined with the 3mb of RAM, really fly. Even when I've multiple apps running at the same time. I just got the (LG G3 Case, SUPCASE Premium Hybrid Protective Bumper Case) for $15 for it and it may not be the most drop protective case, it has a nice feel with just enough protection for me. Love that the battery charges in 3 hours or less, usually 2:45 or so. But I also bought an external device charger for 2 phones for $25. Even though I seem to be getting right around 10-12 hours of moderate use out of it. I can keep this in the car to charge both my wife's phone and mine. (Wirecutter's Pick - Intocircuit® 11200mAh Power Castle Heavy Duty 5V 2A/1A Dual USB Ports External Battery Pack Charger) The only problem I've encountered is the phone auto rebooted 2 days ago while driving across a bridge I travel on. Haven't noticed it before or since, but will def be keeping an eye out for that again.

I am happy to say that the G3 is the best cellphone that I've ever had! I had the Lumia 1020, which I returned for being defective... Awesome camera, but the lack of apps is a huge downside of windows phone yet... Also, I had the Samsung S5, thank GOD it came defective too (display issues and overheating), I am a big fan of the Samung S3... I tried for one week the S5, and I got pretty disappointed... The reason is called TOUCHWIZ, it's too heavy to be used with Kit Kat!! It has lag issues, I had performance issues while I was playing REAL RACING 3, poor frame rate... Also, the cam is not good in low light conditions... Which is crazy... And the heart beat scanner is silly, because it's gimmicky, it takes more battery life and nothing more... Also, the Heart beat scanner brings inconsistent readings all the time... With that being said... So I was thinking to myself, which cellphone should I buy? I decided to go with the LG G3! And I cannot regret!!! I bought at full price! To use with Straight Talk! There is no need to unlock (yet) if you use the G3 on Straight Talk, also I am getting LTE, which is great! The G3 is freaking fast, and I congratulate LG for making the G3 resembling so much the Stock Android OS!!! It runs fast, and if feels great! The IOS Camera is another plus!! I take pictures all the time with my phone! And G3 manages to take great pictures in low light condition! Of course, the laser focus is a great advantage as well! A 4K recording along with the 2K display are a great combination! Also, I am going to add some pictures in low light condition! :-D The Knock code is so helpful! Easy and it feels secure to use anytime... With the Snapdragon 801, plus 3 gb of ram and 32gb (plus MicroSD expansion), and QUAD HD DISPLAY (It's simply the best in the market)... you cant go wrong!! Price wise! It's pretty fair!! :-D Ps.: I just posted a few pictures! On low light condition and sunset :-D

I LOVE THIS PHONE. My regular G3 had the screen crack, and I had already used my insurance to replace it, so I couldn't do it a second time. I had to buy one off-hand. This phone has always been great, a little larger than normal, but a great balance of features and functionality. The camera is beyond excellent as well. My two biggest complaints are this--1. Unlike cheaper LG phones, with this phone if the screen gets cracked EVEN SLIGHTLY, the phone will detect it and go into an "emergency lock mode", where you become 100% UNABLE to use the screen to unlock or access your phone. It WILL allow you to answer calls if they come by pressing the power button, but you cannot make calls or send txts or anything. It simply tells you to contact LG or your service provider to have it repaired. This seems like an utter rip off, for LG to make just a LITTLE issue into a financial gain for them. Shame on you LG. #2. THE BATTERY IS CRAP. It is a MASSIVE battery for the phone, and yet it drains EXTREMELY QUICKLY when you use the phone in normal, mundane things like making calls, but drains HYSTERICALLY FAST when you engage in something graphic-intensive, like a game or using Maps. Not only that, but the battery frequently gets EXTREMELY HOT when in constant use, and if you try to charge it WHILE in use, it can overheat to the point where it will STOP CHARGING bc it is SO HOT--OR SHUT DOWN YOUR PHONE to help it cool down.

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.
