"Also, using a tap to wake up the screen, or to put it to sleep, feels much more modern than mashing a physical button." That's exactly why every major Android OEM uses on-screen buttons instead of hardware or capacitive buttons. Android introduced on-screen buttons back in 2011 with Ice Cream Sandwich. Samsung is still living in the past by refusing to follow suit.

Tapping the screen to wake/sleep the phone has nothing to do with capacitive buttons. It is to serve as an alternative to pressing the unlock button which is typically located on the top or side of the phone. This is a feature that will likely become more prevalent, as the screen size of phones continues to increase. Rather than having to stretch and reach for the unlock button, you can simply tap the screen to unlock it.

Some of us actually like the physical buttons, you know. Although I would prefer a touch sensitive button (like the multitask and back button) as opposed to a physical button, I still would rather have those than the on screen buttons.

It's 10mm bigger, not 4mm. It is 0.4'' bigger, though.

Recently upgraded to the LG G3, my thoughts: Battery Life: Was a concern, but that was before I got little over 6 hours on-screen time at normal use without power saver on. Screen: What happened to the pixels, I can't even make out any? 538PPI is incredible on this display, font is slightly sharper. Color correction seems pretty decent. Camera: Low light isn't top notch but is pretty damned good. Shooting video at 4K is pretty impressive as well. Use: Optimus UI seems to be rather snappy and really clean/minimal interface, but I haven't gotten the chance to install too much yet for the possibility for lag yet. The back buttons take a little bit to get used to but work extremely well. Cons: Screen isn't the best in daylight(like most phones) and the back of the phone around the camera and top part of the screen heats up a little with extended use. Nothing terrible, but it should be noted. My deciding point to get this phone over the M8 was the removable battery and higher PPI screen. The back-facing speaker was originally a down side over the M8's front facing speakers, but I normally use my headphones anyways or flip the phone around if I want to listen to Pandora. The camera is also solid as hell on the G3. After seeing some of the pictures which take advantage of the HTC's "ultra-pixel" cameras, it wasn't that impressive IMO. Overall, I'm very happy with the G3 as my new daily driver.

Great review Michael, absolutely love the sound bite at the very end😸

A really brilliant comparison video. Really well put together and the end part was very funny

G3 all the way! Even though i have a nexus 5 :P

Hello, I would so appreciate if you could tell me what dslr did you use to record this video? And what lens? Thank you

just got a g3 for my wife today, she has the note 2 and got 3 replacements from the warranty in less than 2 years, but because she broke the first one then lost the second one and then broke the third one again!lols im just hoping she will gonna love this phone and if she does, i hope she will appreciate it even more than her note 2s. good review by the way!

off the topic. i have a lumia 1520, before leaving for work around 7:20 am. i put everything on ON, the wifi, screen brightness on high, gps is on. on work sometimes i surf the net using my office's wifi connection. watch youtube videos and play games, especially asphalt 8, and other high intense games. picking up calls and msgs. what i really like about this phone is that, by the time i arrived home i still have 40% battery! and im a heavy user kind of guy. NOW my QUESTION is, is LG G3' battery performance and the S5's any good? like having everything turned on?

I go with the s5 I love the samsung eco system the boat load of features LG just doesn't do it for me but the tap the screen feature is sweet LG just isn't there yet

I enjoyed this review. Thank you for the comparison of using it as a tool or having an eye for detail. That was appreciated, and really did help put both devices in perspective. Now I know if I could ever buy one I would buy the lg l3.

Michael's voice in the sample video Is hilarious, but also a great review :)

Just so you guys know, I am using a galaxy tab pro 8.4. Not a bad tablet. My phone is an iPhone 4. Not a bad phone.

ok, I want to buy a smartphone(upgrading from a lg l5, so i guess everything will be a huge step forward) and i don't know which one, between :LG g3, SONY Z2, the S5 or the NOTE 3?

I'm going to be getting a new phone soon (current phone: iPhone 4) and mi wondering what phone i should get any suggestions?

Why didn't they (Samsung and LG) do a combination of both phones ;'( LG G3 looks so good and its design is amazing. Just if it would be waterproof... And S5's display is better because of higher contrast and better looking colors. (Not so natural colors compared to G3, but looks better)

Love the review! It actually gave a clear mind to go for the right phone. Thumbs up!

Hey NEED YOUR HELP.... I have a lg g3 and i was using my and it suddenly went to a thing clled hidden settings... then the screen when all black and grey and it said AT-MINI Os 3.1.... After that the screen went blue and it said Auto Detecting Item

This was tough for me, I was torn between the S5, One M8, and G3 when I bought a phone. I didn't like the M8's camera and that was relatively important to me, and I decided not to go with the S5 because it seems every Android user and their dog has one. So I got the G3, and I adore it... for the most part. The features that make it unique (knock code, button placement, etc) are amazing to me, but it does have its flaws, one of which being the horrid lag I experience every once in a while. A simple reboot usually fixes it but it can get to the point where it's almost unbearable to use. I only experience this lag during multitasking; it runs games like a breeze. I recently encountered a software issue with my mic where it doesn't work on any app on my phone except the camera. If you came here to see which one you want and decide on the G3, bear in mind that you should probably get a tempered glass screen protector. The digitizer is attached to the screen so that means if you so much crack your glass it could render the device useless. I'll occasionally use the S5 of a friend and it seems like a nice phone. The bright screen is nice. I know that it's a great phone, and I can't say it would be a 'bad' phone to choose. Aaaaand that's my input for anyone who is torn between the two like I was :D

Do you mean it acts like it's going to start up but then doesn't and repeats that? If so, that, my friend, is called a bootloop. Happened to mine back in October. Your phone is bricked. But, if you have important pictures and other files on it, there is a way to get it to boot all the way into the actual phone. You'll probably think I'm lying but I kid you not, it works. You'll have to dissemble your phone and remove your motherboard. Bake the motherboard at 365 for 10 minutes and then let it cool. Put it back together and it should power on for you long enough to back everything up. However, I have heard cases where the phone continues to work for months but will eventually do it again. It's not reliable at this point

Could you give me your verdict of which one is better.

The best thing about LG phones is the center button is on screen and the display is IPS, hope they could have created one with a 4.7 inch display. Good review from Michael as always. Thanks

Might sound like a dumb question but does the water resistant s5 mean you could take pictures underwater? I'm not saying take the thing scuba diving but just stick it under water take a pic and bring it back up.

Great Comparison. Enjoying Michael's videos lately as they are unbiased & fun to watch.

I had no idea the brightness in screen is that different in the sun light on the LG G3. I come across this problem with my HTC One M7, hmm that kind of sucks.

Thank's for this great review/comparison! I own the G3 S since some days and go totally with your Arguments. The G3 is a good and fast Smartphone, but it's more an accessory than a everyday life Tool. I don't want to miss it at all anymore =)

Could you share what Air Fighter game that is you play? Its posted in many of your videos, and I want to try it out. It looks like a lot of fun. Thanks!

Great video bro. Keep up the good work. And thanks for making me like my GS5 even more lol :)

Is it the battery that heats up in the g3 ? ( or like the whole phone )

I find thin border around screen on later phones extremely annoying, because sometimes when holding phone my skin is touching the edge of the screen and making "accidental touches". I wondered for some time what's wrong with my S4 because it suddenly started acting weird but then noticed that when I held phone certain way my skin was in contact with the edge of the screen. Feels like user must have creepy long fingers in order to use these things properly lol

Where did you guys get that blue samsung galaxy s5 wallpaper?

Michael, love your reviews

Wht game was tht??I hve been lukn fr a good Air Plane stimulation game fr some time now

Is it wrong that I'm looking at the LG G3 hoping it has a run out as a Nexus as well?

You are the best Michael! The main reason why I watch Pocketnow videos :)

Michael Fisher you do the best reviews!.

Please Help, does the LG G3 Uk version has a qi wireless charger ability, thanks people.

I have a nexus 5 and if I wanted to buy one of this 2 phones.. It would be the G3 for sure.

Good review Mike!

i hv lg g3. but font style is cannot find so cannot use Myanmar letter...can you help me...

You can hide the softkeys on all the apps if you wanted to with some apps on the play store, one being called all in one gestures try that out I'm sure you won't have a problem with the soft keys after that. However that said you can not use the keyboard with immersive mode turned on, but you can toggle between showing and hiding with a gesture so you can access the keyboard again!

so what do you think is the best phone between samsung and LG?

Cool video glad you did it in my city Boston and I'm an LG G2, G3 guy I had samsung galaxy s4 and it was okay but I'm not a fan anymore they have gestures most people in the world don't even use in which is one reason why the S4 cost so much. On My LG G2 I use everything from the screen tap to wake it up when I get on that orange and red line you seen. I use the one hand keyboard that they have to text and dial numbers, the Quick memo, the Quick remote and most of all the Quick Translator so I'm going to the the LG G3 soon though

You forgot to say "I´m Michael Fisher, this is Pocketnow and this is..." I am so used to your reviews that I missed it.

Can you guys please do a comparison between the g3 and the xperia z2 please???

I wish back then I would have done my homework and got the LG G3 instead of the S5. I have a Note 4 and an LG G3 right now, and I'm so loving the LG G3! I have the Octos MOD on the LG and it just smokes everything! I have around 10 to 12 applications installed and it feels so good to have an Apple like experience, with the convenience of multitasking and customization! If you could strip the Note 4 down, that would be so freaking awesome! Who invented Knox? What the hell were they thinking!

which one should i take? i love lg's design so much and the ui and some functions are nice too, but samsung has these MANY interestig features, like ipxx, fingersprint sensor, heartrate sensor (maybe not that usefzl), many gestures like smart stay ..., nice ui, better display, more camera functions, ...

what is the name of the jet game you are playing on the g3

Great review.

Your review is spot on! I know now what type of user I am. :) That's why I'm leaning more towards the G3 because of its design and I'm gentle with my phones.

It's amazing how influential a video review can be on your choice of devices.

Picking up my G3 Thursday. Been pro iPhone since the 3 but now feel it's time for a change. Tried the Z1 a few months back. Took it back after 24 hours. The OS was horrible by comparison. Fingers crossed the G3 is way better.

Great review thx

U shot that video in Boston? Seen the red line.

glad someone could make an honest comparison without getting emotions or excitement involved.

My G3 was second hand this year. Paid 100 bucks for it. Came with its charger and box. Screen is minty fresh. Although when it heats up its got alot to do with pushing the pixels on a 2K screen.

Call me crazy but I still prefer my Nexus 5 over most phones out now. (M8 seems like a good phone, might be too large though)

Excellent as usual Mike

can anybody please tell me the name of that jets game appeared in the video?

*That intro is quite epic* lol

Omg.. Awesomest review ever!!!!! Great job Michael.

excellent vedio...... to conclusion what is more good?

Perfectly summed up the g3's multi tasking: "you have the choice between overcrowded and space wasting"

when are all the apps going to be optimized for 1440p? its kind of pointless to have a 1440p display and you can only view 720p/1080p content

Hey mike can I get a galaxy s5 for AT&T

best reviewer out there,way to go!!

which ones slower? i have an S3 and i understand its full of bloatware, so it slows down after a while and gains lag and also much longer delay when home button is pushed. Is the G3 and S5 like this? Do they gain any lag or delay after being used for a while?

I just got the G3 and I have been very happy with my decision. The phone is just full of smart ideas. It's super fast, a giant screen but on a somewhat compact device, and the buttons on the back are a cool feature. For $50 less than the S5, I got a higher clocked CPU, 1GB of extra ram, and 16GB of extra storage. The S5 is a great device, but the G3 is a little more refreshing coming from a galaxy s3.

Love the comparison
