It's funny cuz I have an LG G3 but everyone I know sees that it isn't Apple or Samsung so they just assume it's a sucky phone yet I have a quad HD display, 3GB of RAM, 2.5ghz quad-core CPU, it's pretty sweet. My phone is insanely underestimated.
My favorite part about having the G3 is that when I show it to my friends it takes them like 5 minutes to find out how to turn the screen on with the back buttons and then they are thwarted again by knock code haha
That is EXACTLY the same with me, it's so much fun. They freak out at both things cuz it's different than iOS and I'm like don't knock it til you try it. Seriously, this is like THE fun for messing with friends.
Um... Removable battery, extra micro SD memory, digital home button, loud speaker, smaller bottom part, amazing battery life... All points to lg g3. Did I mention price??
This wasnt a tough choice for me, I sold my lg g3 and bought an iphone 6 and I must say that the LG G3 Is far superior over the iphone 6 I'm going back to the LG3 Asap..with my LG3 I was able to download torrents, had 128gb sd card plus 32gb internal storage, I could tether with pda-net, customize my phone completely, bigger and beautiful screen, longer lasting battery aside from my spare battery, add videos and music from any computer (not tied to the itunes nonsense) watch videos in full 1080P HD Display and the list goes on, cant wait to be back baby..
Jaime Rivera referring to iPhone 6: "What it can do it can always do perfectly" Taylor Martin on the PocketNow iOS8 video review: "This is one of the buggiest official updates we've ever used. Crashing apps, disappearing keyboards, orientation issues have plagued our time with iOS8". Hmmm
10 лет назад+8
Barry Ward I REALLY doubt they use the exactly same apps in the exactly same conditions. Whatever Jaime does with his iPhone 6 works perfectly, but Taylor's usage is different giving obviously different results.
Juan Pablo Peña Flores I can understand that. But it's interesting how Taylor Martin says "our time with iOS8" as though it's the teams experience as a whole rather than just himself
***** well then he even contradicts himself in his own video

Barry Ward Everyone is trying to make Pocketnow look bad a.f. I wanna ask you: Why? Sure, they all work together and share opinions, but they're still different people, even from different parts of the world. Jaime: Honduras. Taylor: USA. Say we both worked for Pocketnow, I'm an Android user, I LOVE my Android, but still, I accept iOS is an awesome OS for people who just want a phone the way it is, no tweaking, no nothing, just using it, but you may hate Android or iOS for different reasons, it's ok, that's your opinion and even though we "work" together and everything we won't have the same opinions. Maybe Taylor just made a little mistake in the script, that's not a reason to start saying Pocketnow is non-profesional. BTW, sorry for any mistakes in my grammar.
While it's easy to call out the "iOS does everything perfectly" statement, which obviously isn't true, it was otherwise a pretty balanced comparison. Nice touch at the end using both instead of choosing one over the other.
***** just keep dreamin'... Moto E vs. Samsung Galaxy S5 - Surprising! (Speed…: ruclips.net/video/3P9vDAY0U0A/видео.html Even the Moto E is more snappy than the S5 and if you think that stock android is boring you just plain lacking fantasy
i have a g3. now that i got used to 1440p even 1080p photos/videos dont look that great to me. whoever claims there is no noticeable difference between 1080p and 1440p is lying, i can easily spot it even without glasses. the difference is massive. if 720p satisfy you , go with the iphone 6 ROFL
nofrigginidea You're full of shit. No one can tell the difference in pixel count. They can, however, tell the difference between types of screens. (IPS, AMOLED, LCD etc)
Golden Boy i notice the difference between 1440p and 1080p even without glasses. however its not my fault that you cant afford 1440p and that you try to brainwash yourself into believing that there is no noticeable difference loooool
G3 is better by a mile, Ive used both, the G3 is one of the snappiest android phones Ives used and is very graphically capable with an amazing resolution. That 5.5 display is gorgeous.
Look I think iPhone 6 is overrated and WAY OVERPRICED!! the LG G3 may be worse in the eyes of apple fanboys BUT THE G3 IS FOR HALF THE PRICE!!! i don't see much competition between these and have a clear winner for myself. The G3
I am using my g3 to type this right now, and I must say, I love this phone. If I lose my TV remote, you know what I do? I use the Remote app on the TV. Problem solved. That is one way this phone has helped me. This phone is absolutely amazing.
God forbid someone says anything bad about their precious Android phones, they are the best iPhone is shit, bla bla bla, but still IPhone kicks butts with its 1gb of ram, the best daily driver out there, best camera, best Appstore, updates, customer service, resale value, etc. Go enjoy your plastic, buggy, laggy no resale value Android phones.
Apple makes items for bandwagoning,trendy guliable people. Real simple. Im neither an android fanboy nor an apple one. Im simply pointing out the obvious.
I haven't seen any fanboys in the comments other than you, everyone seems to be getting along fine and just discussing the differences. You also seem to be kind of uninformed. Maybe you're a troll?
Yup. Just picked one up $250gold edition brand new off eBay. Can't wait to start using double tap, IR blaster & other features that are absent from the iPhone
You mention the screen resolution for theG3, but forget to mention that the iphones is WAY LESS 0:46, this could be misleading potential buyers. I'm starting to think PN is on the payroll for Apple xD
It's not necessary. He states right after that you won't see any pixels on either phone. Mentioning that the other has less pixels isn't necessary and would confuse an average buyer.
I'm a G3 user and thinking about switching to iPhone 6 for the simple reason which is that I'm very bored with the android system that i've been using for years now! is it a good idea?
Wow....if youre bored with android i dont recommend switching to ios just cuz theres hardly any customization options on the iPhones.....they are very simple and restrictive. Trust me your gonna get nothing out of it to make u less bored.
Zakk Query as they say i guess....different taste :).....i personally like g3 better cuz it comes with so much customization options. I got a buddy of mine he likes nexus phones cuz he likes the simple version of a phone...its all about what u like
Bad choice. Well, just do NOT download snapchat. Cuz if you use snapchat (much), your battery will die in +/- 2 months. cuz i use my lg g3 for 6 months now, and my battery died 3 TIMES. Just because of snapchat. its so frustrating! so.. if you dont use snapchat or a "battery-eater" like that, theres no problem. But if u do have it, you better uninstall it,.. cause after the 3 times my battery died, i realised it always began with snapchat. so watch out. just a tip. (sorry if my english is bad)
Incredible how well the G3 has held up, its easily still one of the best android phones out there. People chasing benchmark scores and speed tests, that only really show fractions of a second difference are overly obsessive. Its an awesome phone, Ive encountered minimal lag if any and the graphical performance is still impressive by todays standards. It produces smooth gameplay on every game including the latest ones.
Please don't bring up lag hate to Android phones... As somebody who's had iPhones since the 3G to the 5S, your iPhone will lag in its first week. Am I talking MAJOR, cataclysmic crashes that make you want to microwave the phone? No. But when you "multi task" (something the iPhone can't do) aka double-tab the Home Button and pull up your app windows, you will have a stutter when you open it and when you press on your desired app. That's a small issue. I personally don't care "much," it doesn't bother me Also yes, keyboard issues are huge. My iPhone and iPad have both had letters disappear, keys leave, the entire keyboard be invisible and cause a reset or hard reset (not to mention crashes on apps - pretty common).... But I've used some Android phones, I mean their top of the line flagships and experienced superiority. I'm not getting the iPhone 6. Each iPhone had its special qualities, but this is the icing on the sheep cake for me. No more. It's just a iPad Mini Mini and I'm not paying for that bullshit. It also pains you when you see somebody with an old ass iPhone (4 and below is ancient) and see that all iPhones and iOS devices are identical... Rows of icon on similar spec'd screens/hardware. Enough is enough.
Amen brother! Exactly my thoughts. My 5S is not lag proof by any means and it still resets itself all the time. I think i've just grown accustomed to it doing that all the time that i don't really notice it anymore. But if getting a beautiful 5.5 display with all the benefits of having Android OS then i am glad to slap my 5S on eBay.
Funny, I have a 4s on iOS 8 and it only really started to lag when I did the update. Granted my phone is 2 years old. I only ever had to restore it once in it's lifetime. I suppose that's what happens when you are 3 generations behind. My fiance's 4s still runs fine, slightly slower since iOS 8 but it's not a big issue to him. I am due for an upgrade and I am so torn between the iPhone 6 and the G3. I like my iPhone but I am willing to try something new. So much of decisions!
tfaChicky I've been using iPhones since 2007 (the very first iPhone) - there was a time when it was head and shoulders ahead of all mobile phones. Now, it's head and shoulders beneath them. I had an iPhone 6 Plus for a week, hated the design (the 4S/5/5S had beautiful design traits and a more 'squared' edge that made holding it much better). The iPhone 6 Plus is like holding a bar of soap, I felt like I'd drop it everyday and I have big hands. No fan boyism or bias here since I've experienced Apple since its beginning... Get a G3. Get a Note 4. Get a One Plus One. I got an Android phone (One Plus One/Nexus 6) and it's the greatest experience ever in my honest opinion. Oh and if you get an iPhone, please settle with the 6 - much better (yet still laughably round) form factor :P
levy G. I have the G3 and I went to the apple store to compare them and its physical size is a lot smaller then the 6 plus, and the 6 plus is the only iphone i would buy, i really like my big screens, and now that the aspect ratio has been fixed im tempted to get one and use it for a bit,
I've have the G3 for over 1 yr and I ALREADY has terrible glitches.... The focus no longer works (is is apparently common) and the phone can't handle a lot of texting. Charging speed slows down and its battery capacity decreases over time. I will now be switching to an iPhone. Maybe a 6s
Thank you for the great reveiw, my upgrade was available on Jan 1st, with several months of reviews and comparisons I went from the Samsung Galaxy S3 to the Lg G3, so far Im loving it, for my general uses.
To my opinion the design of the LG G3 is really really seriously disgusting ugly. But it has certainly more features than the iPhone 6. It is powerful but never easier and so faster to use in comparison to the iPhone 6. In each case, I prefer design and fast/easy to use software. Other people who want to do more with their phone would prefer an ultimate powerhouse. When I want to do more I grab my mac. So at the end it's the choice of the user, I would never dare to say iPhone 6 is 'better' than the LG G3 and vice versa. I would rather say iPhone 6 is better 'suiting' to my needs than the LG G3.
i would agree to your statement.. im not an apple fan, actually sony user.. choosing a smartphone would mean choosing a device that suits your needs.. like if you have apple products at home then better to buy iPhone, but if you got none of any apple products then i don't think it's more advantage to get iPhones than windows or android device thou some people uses iPhone as a sign of wealth or show off
In the past with iPhone 3g 3gs or even 4 maybe it was a sign of 'wealth' although a lamborghini was much more expensive xp But now certainly not. Because every brand makes almost same smartphones with approximately same power and capacity. If it is still to show their wealth for some people then I think those people are poor. In each case the marketing strategy of Apple still works, people mostly say 'my iPhone' while others just say 'my phone' or 'my gsm' etc.. Same with 'my bmw' those people also love the 'bmw culture'. To my opinion though
Tony Bauer A launcher doesn't change the whole framework of the phone and I'm sure a Rom would satisfy me however that pretty doesn't make it a g3 anymore.
You think the gaming performance is same on both? I have both phones and there is viable difference in every game. Even the 1 year old MC4 that you are playing in this video has so much difference. Look at the low graphics and effects detail on LG G3 while you are playing MC4. I wonder how you people always fail to notice such differences which matters to many users. G3 has worse performance out of all the android flagships launched this year, it shutters in games, apps and UI. Custom launcher fix some of the UI performance issue but not all and gaming performance has nothing to do with launcher. The LG G3 interface looks very dull with all those muted colors.
Musical Genio the hell is dual screen? xD there is a new huawei with dual camera too XD unnecessary stuff lol. Insted all that it would be better if they improve the battery, actually bring us back the battery that lasted for a week.
I have owned the LG G3 since the day of release and it has been an amazing phone until the past couple of days, it has been lagging when opening apps and also when i open the app drawer it takes alot of time to load. The LG G3 has many more features than the iPhone 6+, but most of them dont really help me in my daily phone usage. Battery is amazing. But for me the phone doesn't live long (not battery wise) as it already started lagging and glitching. Now going to the iPhone 6+, from all of the reviews I watched I see that it has much less features, but the features which it has are very useful like Touch ID passwords, double tapping the home button to bring down the screen and so on. And from the older generation iPhones I can see that iPhones last longer as I have friends who are still carrying iPhone 4's and they are perfectly working. So all in all I can tell you that the G3 is fun for a while then when it starts glitching and lagging you wont like it anymore.
Had my G3 since just after the release and its only gotten faster lol, and Im always downloading custom ROMS and testing on it, it runs smooth and fast, my stock Geekbench 3 scores were 940 single core and 2400 multicore, they are now 1018 single and 3017 multi core......like I said, it just keeps getting faster.
I've had my LG G3 for about a week now and don't really have any complaints. Some people might find the screen too big, but it's surprisingly easy to hold/use, despite its size. The screen might as well be 1080p because 1440p is pretty much identical on a screen this size, but other than that I think they did pretty much everything right. The speaker and the camera are both a little lacklustre, but they're plenty good enough.
message to all the "experts" who choose android because its "more advanced" if you are a real expert youd know a jailbroken iphone can do everything your "advanced phones" do and a lot more
I went from an iPhone 5 to the LG G3 and I love it. You can do so much on the G3 you will never get bored. Some people are complaining about it being leggy but all it takes is a few mods and the nova launcher and it will make it super fast.
Are you blind or something you can't tell the difference between a 750p and a 1440 the iPhone 6 looks blurry compared to a qhd screen there a huge difference
You can't really tell the difference till you hit 10 inch screens ...you know tablets...however people with good eyes can tell the difference ...most people on the other hand are blind are completely contempt with a screen that's cheaper to make ;0
My colleague got her G3 for couple of months and now she is thinking to switch to iPhone 6. With that said, that quad HD display of G3 is stunning. It's like holding a HD TV screen in the palm of your hand. The speakers of G3 isn't that good though as it's on the back.
Samantha Tek you 2 are idiots, the camera is pretty much awesome. I own a g3 the pictures just look amazing, obviously this "reviewer" needed something to bash the g3 on.
UI - LG UI is horrible, so iPhone wins Options/Customisation - LG hands down Design - LG because smaller bezels and more ergonomic shape, whilst iPhone looks nicer to me this is subjective Build quality - iPhone probably, unless there are issues with heat Fluidity - iOS is generally more fluid to use than Android due to optimisation so iPhone Battery - LG hands down Camera - iPhone Price - Definitely LG. iPhones are in no way worth their ridiculous price tag. Apps - Not sure, the app store has better quality apps but you can get all apps for free on Android Screen - LG Overall - LG wins
"This was a tough one"??? Dude, you're losing your mind along with your credibility. You're matching the latest and greatest to a phone that's about 2 years too late. GTFO
It was a really tough choice for me, too, but I returned my G3 for the iPhone 6 because of the camera. Super-slomo, fast burst mode, and more storage made the choice for me.
I've got a 5s on iOS 8 and a G3. My question is,... how disappointed are you with your decision? Upgrading from my 5s would be idiotic given the battery life of the 6 is slightly better than the 5s which is terrible, and the optics are practically the same. I find myself sliding the nano sim into the adapter, and into my G3 more and more each day. I'm finally going to cough up some money for a 128gb micro sd cause i'm convinced it's the right phone for me. I'm just having a tough time figuring out your logic.
The thing that moved me from my 5s to the G3 was the screen size. That, for me, trumped the great camera and app ecosystem of iOS. The 6's screen is big enough to make me happy, which pushed the balance back in favor of iPhone.
John Frazier Screen size and third party keyboards drew me to Android. A few years back. I was excited about the iPhone 6 size and the fact they allow third party keyboards. Then iOS8 came and ruined the fun - Safari browser is default (can't change). No third party app sharing (share an image in photos to say, Instagram). All sharing is to Apple's default apps and a couple select third party apps. I forgot how locked down iOS was and still is. The phone is gorgeous, but iOS still being so locked to Apples own apps is a deal breaker for me. And it's a shame because the iPhone could really be the best Google phone ever.
***** I know you're trolling, and that's just so cute, but my 128 gigs of storage is much faster NAND than your 128 gigs of SD storage, so I can store my 240fps 720p video with sound without a skip or stutter. Do I have more than I did before? Definitely yes. I had 96 gigs, 64 of which was on an SD card. Could I have paid $156 more for a 128 gig SD card? Sure, but I didn't have to pay extra for mine, and it's faster and more robust memory.
I agree. Before its release, most people said that the leaked casings for the next iphone 6 doesn't look good, that it looks like an ipod touch etc. Now that its released, they praised it like it was the best looking phone to date. Sheeps. . .
Todays review world is cluttered with "both devices are great". Nobody has the fucking balls to come out and say... "hey, we reviewed these, and I prefer this phone to the other one." That's what a review is for. I'm not going to be able to make a decision on "both are great"..... You expect me to go buy both to find out for myself? wtf..
***** No its because IOS is a really good OS. The problem with Andriod manufactures is that they don't have any passion in their phones. Apple is very proud of every product they make which is why they are marketing kings. Android manufactures shit out crappy phones left and right everyday which is why Andriod has a fragmentation problem. If Samsung would just focus all their efforts on the Galaxy and Note series flagships then they would be kings. They would be able to update these phone quickly
kushdaddy144 bro are you stupid? Androids shits out phones left and right because it caters to all types of people you want a big phone, small phone, low price/high price, phablets, etc. IPhones are a ripoff... first of all no removable battery, your batter fucks up you're screwed. Secondly, you gotta dish out more money for higher storage so if you get a 16gb(really 11gb) iphone and run out of space well you're fucked. "IPhone has better apps and camera bla bla bla". Third, they lag like shit I tried using my cousins new iPhone 6 and it was slow as shit. You're just a dumb ass that's brainwashed into thinking I phones are actually good you dimwit
More than a day with LG G3 ??? Are you mad ? Have you really examined the battery life or just making videos for TRP !! LG G3 will last only 6~7 hrs with moderate use.
PHENOM Here is my device and info... LG G3 / 3GB-32GB version Acc Sync : on. Dropbox, Native email program ( with 2 office email configured ) Gmail, Yahoo mail, facebook, Linkedin, Office, Skype, Twitter, WhatsApp, ------------------------------------------- Other programs ... Common progs like Flipboard, feedly, wiki app, Cam scanner, opera mini, chrome, Kindle ... etc ) and NO GAMES -------------------------------------------- So, now tell me that am I doing something wrong ? Besides it lags like my 2 yr old 738 MB RAM Desire X jelly bean 4.1 and doesn't feel like a flagship phone. Getting hot randomly and dropping battery in a 75 degree slop on battery history graph on those moments. If you are right then either I have badly manufactured battery or I really don't know :(
Suman Nath Could be a faulty battery. Happens with a lot of phones/products tbh. I'd get it checked out. Maybe get a hold of another battery and check if that has the same problems. I don't have that many programs installed but I don't have such bad battery drain. Yeah it uses quite some battery when browsing facebook but I've had that on my old phone as well and that app is known to drain quite some battery. Whatsapp doesn't drain a lot for me though. I'd get that battery checked out though, always a chance that you've got a faulty one.
PHENOM Do you have lags on default app drawer ? I mean it's no where as smooth as even nexus 4. I shall be going to for a factory reset before going to service center for battery checkup.
Just upgraded to g3. Nice. I wouldn't even consider the iPhone. So lame and restrictive. Have to jailbreak it etc. Went home, hooked it up to laptop and less than five minutes had all my music and movies on the device. And at the same time inserted my micro sd card with extra 32 gigs of memory to add some extra boxing matches i had stored on it. Can you do that on iPhone? Well, hell no. Lol
Great review, Jaime. Although I'm sure the comments will turn into an OS-bashing haven, the bottom line is your OS preference. The LG G3 and the iPhone 6 Plus are my two daily drivers and I enjoy the heck out of both of them. I appreciate your mature and non-biased review, as I've grown so annoyed with the unnecessary bashing. Keep up the great work!
hans hadiranto iphone introduced things with their new iOS just recently. but this things people had on android years ago. believe me. I owned both of this phones so i know. but i 'm not using iphones anymore because of the weak hardware. iphone is so overrated.. to much advertisement.
when iphone 1 came out it had only a 2mp camera LOL. my phone which came even before that had already 3.2MP.. did you even had an iphone 1 in your hands? it was horrible. yes things improved A LOT. but saying something is copying iphone smells more like jealousy, that the phones are better then iiphone, which is built with cheap hardware and sold overpriced. or rather most part of the price you solely pay just for the apple logo on th eback ;d
UncorruptedGamer it depends on your need on a smartphone pal,but i wanna tell u my own experience ...i owned an lg g3 i bought it 2weeks ago i have some issues on its camera..recording a full hd video on 5 minute will make the phone overheat i think its because the laser af...so i think you should stay with ur iphone 6..but its up to u
My friends be like I got a iPhone so it's better than your lg. FIRST OF ALL, I DON'T NEED A PASSWORD TO DOWNLOAD THINGS! SECOND OF ALL RUclips COMES WITH THE PHONE
I just bought an LG G3 about half a month ago. I upgraded from an iPhone 4S. Yup, an iPhone 4S! xD But, I'm beginning to think this was more of a downgrade. But, this is because my entire house is an Apple ecosystem. Apple TVs, computers, etc... and Android, just doesn't work for me. I'm really considering going back to my iPhone 4S, believe it or not, haha. I am missing so many features such as: iMessage, streaming to Apple TV, Pages/Keynote/iCloud for iOS, iOS's design, and even the iPhone 4S's design, which in my opinion, looks way better than the LG G3, lol. I thought switching to Android from iOS would be easy, but it's withdrawal for me, lol. Also, when I got the phone, I updated it to Lolipop, and I've been having the worst battery life. My iPhone 4S lasts longer the the G3 at the moment. All over online, it says to reduce the resolution to 1920x1080, or to restore the phone, which I've done a couple times now, and I still feel like I'm only getting like 30 minutes of screen-on battery life everyday. Any recommendations how I can fix this? I even have the screen's brightness at 50%, which by the ways is torture on the LG G3, haha. In conclusion to my essay here, I'd like to say if you are a long time iPhone user, good luck adjusting to this phone. I thought I'd just miss iMessage, but everyday I go to do something in my home, and I find out my phone does not have the feature that even my iPhone 4S had. Although, if you happen to hate the iPhone for some reason, or you are a long time Android user, get this phone, for sure! There are a lot of fantastic things that make it an awesome phone! I got this phone on a 2 yr contract with a $0 down payment, and 2 years free of Spotify, which is another reason I got this phone, haha. DO NOT make the same mistake I did. As I usually do, I made my decision to get this phone right on the spot, and I told my mom to take me to Best Buy, and I got the phone in less than an hour. Not even 2 weeks later, here I am, regretting that I got this phone. Anyways, good phone, amazing price... the only thing that doesn't sell me on this phone is.... Android! :/
Haha I wrote this like a month ago. I guess it's just because I'm used to Apple, that's all. I'm still using the phone right now, and still dislike it just as much. Idk, haha. And to get my G3 to do things like streaming to the Apple TV I have to root the phone, which I don't really want to do haha
+ChrisTheAppleOne what a surprise a guy with your username isnt happy with his android lol, dont be a troll, we all know u dont own the g3. with your username i'd guess u stood in line to get the ip6 and now your pissed that u got 2012 tech in 2015....
Nah xD I picked the name when I was like 11 lol. I couldn't afford to get the iPhone 6, and still can't, and at the time I was desperate for a new phone because my current phone was an iPhone 4S! I'm actually liking the G3 a lot better now, though. I'm using the Nova Launcher and it makes the phone's home screen so much faster than LG's home screen.
I have an LG G3 and am going to an iphone 6 tomorrow you really helped me and of course I am keeping my LG G3 as a 2nd phone - love your coverage on this and your easy to hear messages - I have wrist disabilities both wrists and hate the turn on off button on the back of the LG G3 being right next to the volume forever hitting it and don't like turning my phone on by tapping the screen but again keeping both if I don't like the iphone 6 well I'll switch back as I own the LG G3 and it still works great
I don't see the whole point of metal phones. I don't think the being made of plastic and metal is a big difference. Most of the people using iPhones with its beautiful design have cases really large cases. So why worry about a design that most of the people hide with cases.
Well while comparing some basic issues with G3 were not considered like over heating problem, UI lag, battery life is poor as compared to HTC M8 due to 2K display. Isn't used both G3 and M8 and would give better points to HTC.
I'm up for an upgrade this spring. I have the S4 and TouchWiz has been annoying me lately. I'm definately going to keep an eye on the next LG G series.
Haven't had an iPhone since the 3g. I just bought this LG G3 and its a huge upgrade from the Optimus L9. So far I've seen the flaws which are minimal to say the least. The good far outweighs the bad on the phone.
Before I switched over to the LG G3 a few days ago, I had an iPhone 5 running iOS8 and yes it was buggy as hell. The most annoying part was the disappearing third party keyboard. Now that I have switched to the LG G3 I don't ever see myself going back to iOS - as its not as customizable as Android.
I think a lot of Android users are really trying to like the iPhone 6 because of its supposed newfound customization options, like 3rd party keyboards. But the fact of the matter is that it is still a restricted system and we still are forced to use iTunes to sync shit.
You forgot to mention that unlocked (the way many people outside the US buy phones) the G3 can be picked up for almost half the price of an iPhone 6. That's a deciding factor between to end phones.
Ive had iPhone since day 1, recently switched to Android and the LG G3 a few months back, I wonder why I didn't make the switch a long time ago, Android is much more up my alley, the customization is remarkable, iPhone is to controlled and sheltered, I will never go back to iPhone, cant say I had any problems with it but the lack of customization simply drove me away
I've had a LG G3 for three months now and the battery life is horrible. It lasts under normal use about 6 to 7 hours. Updated to Lollipop and it helped a bit but it is still depleting the charge fast. Aside from that, the phone will sometimes restart randomly or just crash on you. I had a Sony ZL which I loved and will be going back to Sony as soon asI can afford it.
Can you elaborate on the negatives of the G2's UI? Another reviewer said something about it being hard to learn or use...I had never used an Android device before, picked up a G2 and had zero issues learning it, it's pretty simple and easy to use. I'm just curious specifically, what all the fuss is. I've been considering the Note 4 and keep reading it has "too many setting"...how can you have too many? Anyways, just trying to understand another perspective. BTW, nice and informative review.
You can't say that LG is rewriting/refreshing the widgets every time you visit the home page and then say IOS does it better. IOS doesn't even support widgets, and won't do it for at least 2 more years and then they will invent something magical (widgets). If you compare those device without the widgets on LG g3 I promise you will not notice a difference.
I've been using the G3 since July and have yet to experience the "lag" that everyone is talking about in relation to this phone. It runs smoothly through everything that I require it to do, and the only times it heats up is in very graphically intensive gaming.
Yeah but iOS doesn't need 3GB, hence not having it. On benchmark tests iPhone 6 still comes out on top. Beats all the other top Androids, as well... ;)
***** I have been researching the whole android vs apple thing and admittedly the iPhone 6 is a beast of a phone. The only two other phones that beat it were the Nexus 6 and the Note 4, which the Note 4 is more expensive but seriously destroys any competition.
Zoid Burg Yeah I've noticed for a while that each iOS will run the best on that phone. Like the iPhone 5 will run the best on iOS6 and the 5S best on iOS7
Whenever you put the term "vs." in the title I think that you owe us a declarative winner at the end of your review. It's just a cop out to say that because you need two phones you're going to have them both. For 99.99% of us, this isn't an option. Thank you for the war that you have started in the comments section.
Great video. I'm a cellphone salesman and it's always hard to really compare the 2 of these phones. Since I also have to carry 2 phones, I opted for these 2 and it really is the best of both worlds.
I have the LG G3 and think it's one of my worst purchases. I wish I could add a bit more money and get back to my Galaxy S4... had way better battery life! I really am thinking about going for an iPhone. I mean, I love my Macbook Pro, love using Apple's software - they always have a smarter approach to things. I don't know.... :(
Had the the g3 for 2 days and whilst i loved the phone for the way it feels and looks i sent it back. Battery life was terrible and it lagged and stuttered. I'm a big android fan and haven't used anything else for about 6 years but this wasn't good. I think the processor just can't handle the screen. Decided to order the iphone 6 after cancelling my 6+ order. My first ever iphone! Will make a nice change from constantly chopping and changing roms on my note 2!
The only reason newer phones are getting fancy specs, is because Android just eats up CPU. My sister's Nexus 5 freezes up like 10 times a day, and her carrier's store says they can't do anything. My dad's LG G2 just randomly stopped working. It doesn't charge, doesn't turn on, and our carrier's store said it's bricked and they'll give him a new LG G2, haha. THE THING with iOS, is that Apple actually makes their operating system and their phone's work together. The 6 and the G3 aren't much different in speeds, as far as I know.
4:30 thats completely bullshit. G3 takes the best photos compared to any other USABLE phone (lumia 1020 is not one of them) Just try to see some panoramas taken by people, or macro photos... or anything else.
Yep ! You were smart Bro' by choosing the two. They are both really good phones if not the best out there now. Though the LG G3 might be worth a slightly higher praise considering it was launched 5 months earlier than the iPhone 6 ...and still rocks!! I feel that with the specs the LG G3 has it is going to be a really high end phone for at least another two years to come ...
It's funny cuz I have an LG G3 but everyone I know sees that it isn't Apple or Samsung so they just assume it's a sucky phone yet I have a quad HD display, 3GB of RAM, 2.5ghz quad-core CPU, it's pretty sweet. My phone is insanely underestimated.
My favorite part about having the G3 is that when I show it to my friends it takes them like 5 minutes to find out how to turn the screen on with the back buttons and then they are thwarted again by knock code haha
That is EXACTLY the same with me, it's so much fun. They freak out at both things cuz it's different than iOS and I'm like don't knock it til you try it. Seriously, this is like THE fun for messing with friends.
* phone not fun
WHOAitsCharmander ha I see what you did there you nifty biscuit
Do you have the lollipop update on your G3?
Um... Removable battery, extra micro SD memory, digital home button, loud speaker, smaller bottom part, amazing battery life... All points to lg g3. Did I mention price??
You didn't mention multitasking and UI customization :)
The 32gb version is 3gb ram too
Iphone is just selling name and looks, I mean, I'm not hater of Apple or something but it is so overpriced.
dino busljeta and so is Samsung now.
Yea but it does have much better specs than iphone 6 and same price
g3 is half the fucking price
Because its much older
kushdaddy144 only by a few months
kushdaddy144 no, because it was always half the fucking price
kushdaddy144 much older? they've been out for almost the same time
Yes it is. Much cheaper here actually plus.google.com/104923498734515538555/posts/7Z1Gm18r5iQ
This wasnt a tough choice for me, I sold my lg g3 and bought an iphone 6 and I must say that the LG G3 Is far superior over the iphone 6 I'm going back to the LG3 Asap..with my LG3 I was able to download torrents, had 128gb sd card plus 32gb internal storage, I could tether with pda-net, customize my phone completely, bigger and beautiful screen, longer lasting battery aside from my spare battery, add videos and music from any computer (not tied to the itunes nonsense) watch videos in full 1080P HD Display and the list goes on, cant wait to be back baby..
Liked! A million times
Also, there’s a way to download non torrent videos. There’s an app for it
Junior Prince I'm glad you learned your lesson. Spread the word!
Junior Prince do you use VPN while downloading torrents?
mahballzrhari why?
Jaime Rivera referring to iPhone 6: "What it can do it can always do perfectly"
Taylor Martin on the PocketNow iOS8 video review: "This is one of the buggiest official updates we've ever used. Crashing apps, disappearing keyboards, orientation issues have plagued our time with iOS8". Hmmm
Barry Ward I REALLY doubt they use the exactly same apps in the exactly same conditions. Whatever Jaime does with his iPhone 6 works perfectly, but Taylor's usage is different giving obviously different results.
***** he's in the PocketNow video above
Juan Pablo Peña Flores I can understand that. But it's interesting how Taylor Martin says "our time with iOS8" as though it's the teams experience as a whole rather than just himself
***** well then he even contradicts himself in his own video
Barry Ward Everyone is trying to make Pocketnow look bad a.f.
I wanna ask you: Why?
Sure, they all work together and share opinions, but they're still different people, even from different parts of the world. Jaime: Honduras. Taylor: USA.
Say we both worked for Pocketnow, I'm an Android user, I LOVE my Android, but still, I accept iOS is an awesome OS for people who just want a phone the way it is, no tweaking, no nothing, just using it, but you may hate Android or iOS for different reasons, it's ok, that's your opinion and even though we "work" together and everything we won't have the same opinions. Maybe Taylor just made a little mistake in the script, that's not a reason to start saying Pocketnow is non-profesional.
BTW, sorry for any mistakes in my grammar.
While it's easy to call out the "iOS does everything perfectly" statement, which obviously isn't true, it was otherwise a pretty balanced comparison. Nice touch at the end using both instead of choosing one over the other.
Now take the G3 and run it with stock Android and the right Apps...
***** Any Skin I ever tested was laggin´ ass!
***** s5? you mean lag5
***** just keep dreamin'... Moto E vs. Samsung Galaxy S5 - Surprising! (Speed…: ruclips.net/video/3P9vDAY0U0A/видео.html Even the Moto E is more snappy than the S5 and if you think that stock android is boring you just plain lacking fantasy
Dan Hirsch stock android might be better than touchwhiz performance wise but its definitely boring compared to touchwhiz.
Finally someone who calls a review a tie between 2 smartphones because they are both excellent devices.
Finally I've found someone with a brain!
There's nothing wrong with picking a winner as the phones are highly unlikely to be exactly on par.
SuperYtc1 When it comes to comparing premium phones there is no true winner. What works for you may not vibe with someone else.
1ledluverjlp Yes but there is nothing wrong with saying which your personal winner/ favourite is.
Bring Fisher back please, This guy bores me to death.
They have a few reviewers. It's not a one man show man... :-P
Don't care they all suck
Why don't you show us how it's done Andrew! Excuse to buy more toys.
Lol, Fisher does it best.
i have a g3. now that i got used to 1440p even 1080p photos/videos dont look that great to me. whoever claims there is no noticeable difference between 1080p and 1440p is lying, i can easily spot it even without glasses. the difference is massive.
if 720p satisfy you , go with the iphone 6 ROFL
hopefully with the nexus 6 being a 2k screen then more apps and videos will support 2k for mobile use :)
nofrigginidea You're full of shit. No one can tell the difference in pixel count. They can, however, tell the difference between types of screens. (IPS, AMOLED, LCD etc)
Golden Boy
i notice the difference between 1440p and 1080p even without glasses. however its not my fault that you cant afford 1440p and that you try to brainwash yourself into believing that there is no noticeable difference loooool
*****
4k is 4096 x 2160. the g3's screen has 1440 x 2560
nofrigginidea Sounds like you're trying to convince yourself that you didn't piss money away on features that don't matter.
FYI - You did.
G3 is better by a mile, Ive used both, the G3 is one of the snappiest android phones Ives used and is very graphically capable with an amazing resolution. That 5.5 display is gorgeous.
lucky I got lg stylo
schemar laforest i used to own a lg g stylo but i moved to the lg g4
Nadia Aguilar nice
Look I think iPhone 6 is overrated and WAY OVERPRICED!! the LG G3 may be worse in the eyes of apple fanboys BUT THE G3 IS FOR HALF THE PRICE!!! i don't see much competition between these and have a clear winner for myself. The G3
+Trevor H same watching this on a g3
***** I'm still crying and begging for one!
i have, fucking brilliant. no issue what-so-ever
how could you get tired of it? the iphone 6 was the first hd iphone at 750p ... xDD "omg so good"
Upgraded to the g4:-)
I dont even watched yet but i know they will say that the iPhone is superior because it have a Apple logo.
Well, you were wrong. He didn't chose one over the other. He's using both as his daily drivers.
Pendejo
***** Try watching the video before reading the comments. You know, the way it's arranged on the page.
True
Dumb comment dude
I am using my g3 to type this right now, and I must say, I love this phone. If I lose my TV remote, you know what I do? I use the Remote app on the TV. Problem solved. That is one way this phone has helped me. This phone is absolutely amazing.
God forbid someone says anything bad about their precious Android phones, they are the best iPhone is shit, bla bla bla, but still IPhone kicks butts with its 1gb of ram, the best daily driver out there, best camera, best Appstore, updates, customer service, resale value, etc. Go enjoy your plastic, buggy, laggy no resale value Android phones.
Apple makes items for bandwagoning,trendy guliable people.
Real simple. Im neither an android fanboy nor an apple one. Im simply pointing out the obvious.
My precious phone my precious android...can outperform iPhone anyday and everyday oneplus 1 all yeah!!
espinal is a wannabe. he wants to see what 2012 was like in the android universe and now he can with his new ijoke. what a douche
I haven't seen any fanboys in the comments other than you, everyone seems to be getting along fine and just discussing the differences. You also seem to be kind of uninformed. Maybe you're a troll?
Go enjoy your icrap brick and peace out, nigga
LG G3 might be cheaper but it's much better than iphone 6
yes crapple sucks 🙋
Yup. Just picked one up $250gold edition brand new off eBay. Can't wait to start using double tap, IR blaster & other features that are absent from the iPhone
G3 just slayed it.
You mention the screen resolution for theG3, but forget to mention that the iphones is WAY LESS 0:46, this could be misleading potential buyers. I'm starting to think PN is on the payroll for Apple xD
It's not necessary. He states right after that you won't see any pixels on either phone. Mentioning that the other has less pixels isn't necessary and would confuse an average buyer.
Why is it when a high end android phone with a 720 display comes out it's not ok but when the iPhone 6 has a 720 display it's fine.
everyone in phone arena uses iphones as their daily driver now.
***** Not the best excuse.
Perry Wu 'cause if Android didn't have the specs then what do they have? and the iPhone 6 and 6+ are in 1080p.
I'm a G3 user and thinking about switching to iPhone 6 for the simple reason which is that I'm very bored with the android system that i've been using for years now! is it a good idea?
I did that, got an iPhone last week, first one iv ever had, always used android, iphone 6 was an upgrade from my s4, I don't regret it at all :)
I'm doing the same
Wow....if youre bored with android i dont recommend switching to ios just cuz theres hardly any customization options on the iPhones.....they are very simple and restrictive. Trust me your gonna get nothing out of it to make u less bored.
I went from an iPhone 5s to a G3 missed my iPhone so bad I went and traded it in for an iPhone6 . Don't regret it at all :) love my Iphone
Zakk Query as they say i guess....different taste :).....i personally like g3 better cuz it comes with so much customization options. I got a buddy of mine he likes nexus phones cuz he likes the simple version of a phone...its all about what u like
1thing you didn't mention is that the iPhone 6 is the twice the price of the G3 with micro SD compatibility
true dat, quite the significant point in a comparison
Just bought a G3. Will be using it for at least 2 years. Aww yeah!
Same here!
Bad choice. Well, just do NOT download snapchat. Cuz if you use snapchat (much), your battery will die in +/- 2 months. cuz i use my lg g3 for 6 months now, and my battery died 3 TIMES. Just because of snapchat. its so frustrating! so.. if you dont use snapchat or a "battery-eater" like that, theres no problem. But if u do have it, you better uninstall it,.. cause after the 3 times my battery died, i realised it always began with snapchat. so watch out. just a tip. (sorry if my english is bad)
yen if you don't lose it ! lol
Incredible how well the G3 has held up, its easily still one of the best android phones out there. People chasing benchmark scores and speed tests, that only really show fractions of a second difference are overly obsessive. Its an awesome phone, Ive encountered minimal lag if any and the graphical performance is still impressive by todays standards. It produces smooth gameplay on every game including the latest ones.
romefox
nah not for me lmao
Please don't bring up lag hate to Android phones... As somebody who's had iPhones since the 3G to the 5S, your iPhone will lag in its first week. Am I talking MAJOR, cataclysmic crashes that make you want to microwave the phone?
No. But when you "multi task" (something the iPhone can't do) aka double-tab the Home Button and pull up your app windows, you will have a stutter when you open it and when you press on your desired app. That's a small issue.
I personally don't care "much," it doesn't bother me Also yes, keyboard issues are huge. My iPhone and iPad have both had letters disappear, keys leave, the entire keyboard be invisible and cause a reset or hard reset (not to mention crashes on apps - pretty common).... But I've used some Android phones, I mean their top of the line flagships and experienced superiority. I'm not getting the iPhone 6. Each iPhone had its special qualities, but this is the icing on the sheep cake for me. No more. It's just a iPad Mini Mini and I'm not paying for that bullshit.
It also pains you when you see somebody with an old ass iPhone (4 and below is ancient) and see that all iPhones and iOS devices are identical... Rows of icon on similar spec'd screens/hardware.
Enough is enough.
Amen brother! Exactly my thoughts. My 5S is not lag proof by any means and it still resets itself all the time. I think i've just grown accustomed to it doing that all the time that i don't really notice it anymore. But if getting a beautiful 5.5 display with all the benefits of having Android OS then i am glad to slap my 5S on eBay.
Preach it.
Funny, I have a 4s on iOS 8 and it only really started to lag when I did the update. Granted my phone is 2 years old. I only ever had to restore it once in it's lifetime. I suppose that's what happens when you are 3 generations behind. My fiance's 4s still runs fine, slightly slower since iOS 8 but it's not a big issue to him. I am due for an upgrade and I am so torn between the iPhone 6 and the G3. I like my iPhone but I am willing to try something new. So much of decisions!
tfaChicky I've been using iPhones since 2007 (the very first iPhone) - there was a time when it was head and shoulders ahead of all mobile phones. Now, it's head and shoulders beneath them. I had an iPhone 6 Plus for a week, hated the design (the 4S/5/5S had beautiful design traits and a more 'squared' edge that made holding it much better). The iPhone 6 Plus is like holding a bar of soap, I felt like I'd drop it everyday and I have big hands.
No fan boyism or bias here since I've experienced Apple since its beginning... Get a G3. Get a Note 4. Get a One Plus One. I got an Android phone (One Plus One/Nexus 6) and it's the greatest experience ever in my honest opinion. Oh and if you get an iPhone, please settle with the 6 - much better (yet still laughably round) form factor :P
Why not iPhone 6 Plus VS LG G3? I think they are more similar...
Maybe they compare it because of the almost similar phone size. Although the iphone+ ang G3 have similar screen size, the plus is way bigger.
Ken Cabigas Its bigger and ugly as hell with big bezels on top and bottom and sides
Scifigeek4life Nick and the G3 has much better spec...
The 6 is actually closer in size to the lg g3. The 6plus is way bigger than the g3
levy G. I have the G3 and I went to the apple store to compare them and its physical size is a lot smaller then the 6 plus, and the 6 plus is the only iphone i would buy, i really like my big screens, and now that the aspect ratio has been fixed im tempted to get one and use it for a bit,
I've have the G3 for over 1 yr and I ALREADY has terrible glitches.... The focus no longer works (is is apparently common) and the phone can't handle a lot of texting. Charging speed slows down and its battery capacity decreases over time. I will now be switching to an iPhone. Maybe a 6s
ill be honest. i always thought iphones were 100 times better looking with no competitor then you put it next to the g3.
If iOS 9 was allowed on android id get an android but it's not . iOS 9 is better than androids dumb operating system to me at least x
+will fribourg yeah , if everyone would get ios , the phones would be like, wtf so fast.
+MartinTech and so limited too.
Honestly iphones are the best looking no question imo
+LPSkk Then the Note 5 came along (my opinion anyway, cuz of the curved back edges)
Thank you for the great reveiw, my upgrade was available on Jan 1st, with several months of reviews and comparisons I went from the Samsung Galaxy S3 to the Lg G3, so far Im loving it, for my general uses.
To my opinion the design of the LG G3 is really really seriously disgusting ugly. But it has certainly more features than the iPhone 6.
It is powerful but never easier and so faster to use in comparison to the iPhone 6.
In each case, I prefer design and fast/easy to use software. Other people who want to do more with their phone would prefer an ultimate powerhouse.
When I want to do more I grab my mac. So at the end it's the choice of the user, I would never dare to say iPhone 6 is 'better' than the LG G3 and vice versa. I would rather say iPhone 6 is better 'suiting' to my needs than the LG G3.
Not ugly. Look at the size of those bezels on the 6
i would agree to your statement.. im not an apple fan, actually sony user.. choosing a smartphone would mean choosing a device that suits your needs.. like if you have apple products at home then better to buy iPhone, but if you got none of any apple products then i don't think it's more advantage to get iPhones than windows or android device thou some people uses iPhone as a sign of wealth or show off
In the past with iPhone 3g 3gs or even 4 maybe it was a sign of 'wealth' although a lamborghini was much more expensive xp
But now certainly not. Because every brand makes almost same smartphones with approximately same power and capacity.
If it is still to show their wealth for some people then I think those people are poor.
In each case the marketing strategy of Apple still works, people mostly say 'my iPhone' while others just say 'my phone' or 'my gsm' etc.. Same with 'my bmw' those people also love the 'bmw culture'.
To my opinion though
I agree, except I think the Lg g3 has a very beautiful exterior. It's totally up to the user and their needs.
U can optimize any android device to be faster and "easier to use" if u took the time to learn about android.
I can't stand the G3 Idk why everyone loves it so much. The LG skin is atrocious.
Download a launcher or a ROM..
***** I have tried it...
bflaves123 Then you should know that it feels like a new phone, I don't have refreshing of widgets anymore.
Tony Bauer A launcher doesn't change the whole framework of the phone and I'm sure a Rom would satisfy me however that pretty doesn't make it a g3 anymore.
bflaves123 pretty much*
Just how many iphone 6 related videos do these guys need to make? Might as well make a video comparison with every single phone that exists
You know, money.
Because lots of people are going to watch them lol
they do it with all android phones and ya'll never complain about that, so stfu.
You think the gaming performance is same on both? I have both phones and there is viable difference in every game. Even the 1 year old MC4 that you are playing in this video has so much difference. Look at the low graphics and effects detail on LG G3 while you are playing MC4. I wonder how you people always fail to notice such differences which matters to many users. G3 has worse performance out of all the android flagships launched this year, it shutters in games, apps and UI. Custom launcher fix some of the UI performance issue but not all and gaming performance has nothing to do with launcher. The LG G3 interface looks very dull with all those muted colors.
g3 has good graphics and runs the game fine the only problem is the overheating when it comes to games
iphone and samsung are waaay too overhyped
***** xD
abdirizak ali hehe
Musical Genio the hell is dual screen? xD there is a new huawei with dual camera too XD unnecessary stuff lol. Insted all that it would be better if they improve the battery, actually bring us back the battery that lasted for a week.
Musical Genio yea, Business, i bet they already have many innovations ready, but they are doing them slowly to earn more money.
iphone yes, samsung, no. Android is so fkn good
Jaime, it's so great to see you do some other stuff than the Daily! Great work!
Can you guys please make lg G3 vs nexus 6.
Love your reviews Jaime, keep it up!!!
Lg g3 is more better than. i phone 6
no its not
Why
kushdaddy144 You name is "kushdaddy" fuck off
Thanks FH
No man 'my name is James lol
I have owned the LG G3 since the day of release and it has been an amazing phone until the past couple of days, it has been lagging when opening apps and also when i open the app drawer it takes alot of time to load. The LG G3 has many more features than the iPhone 6+, but most of them dont really help me in my daily phone usage. Battery is amazing. But for me the phone doesn't live long (not battery wise) as it already started lagging and glitching. Now going to the iPhone 6+, from all of the reviews I watched I see that it has much less features, but the features which it has are very useful like Touch ID passwords, double tapping the home button to bring down the screen and so on. And from the older generation iPhones I can see that iPhones last longer as I have friends who are still carrying iPhone 4's and they are perfectly working. So all in all I can tell you that the G3 is fun for a while then when it starts glitching and lagging you wont like it anymore.
thats cause you got a piece of shit one, i had mines for quite a while and aint had nt one problem out of it. you jus gotta apple bro
There is a solution for it!
There is one. Video on RUclips which makes your G3 faster and non laggingness
Had my G3 since just after the release and its only gotten faster lol, and Im always downloading custom ROMS and testing on it, it runs smooth and fast, my stock Geekbench 3 scores were 940 single core and 2400 multicore, they are now 1018 single and 3017 multi core......like I said, it just keeps getting faster.
the g3 is way better than i phoen 6
*iPhone and YESS exactly 😀🙋
I've had my LG G3 for about a week now and don't really have any complaints. Some people might find the screen too big, but it's surprisingly easy to hold/use, despite its size. The screen might as well be 1080p because 1440p is pretty much identical on a screen this size, but other than that I think they did pretty much everything right. The speaker and the camera are both a little lacklustre, but they're plenty good enough.
The camera is amazing on the LG G3 what are you talking about?
ikr haha
He even forgot about the 4k vids
message to all the "experts" who choose android because its "more advanced" if you are a real expert youd know a jailbroken iphone can do everything your "advanced phones" do and a lot more
A disgrace to G3's name by comparing it to IP6
Talha BuTt take it easy bruv
I went from an iPhone 5 to the LG G3 and I love it. You can do so much on the G3 you will never get bored. Some people are complaining about it being leggy but all it takes is a few mods and the nova launcher and it will make it super fast.
Are you blind or something you can't tell the difference between a 750p and a 1440 the iPhone 6 looks blurry compared to a qhd screen there a huge difference
Yup so true
No there isn't. On these small displays you won't notice any difference. Rivera was right.
You can't really tell the difference till you hit 10 inch screens ...you know tablets...however people with good eyes can tell the difference ...most people on the other hand are blind are completely contempt with a screen that's cheaper to make ;0
I'm on my note 4 I can see the difference I have good vision tho
Obama
My colleague got her G3 for couple of months and now she is thinking to switch to iPhone 6. With that said, that quad HD display of G3 is stunning. It's like holding a HD TV screen in the palm of your hand. The speakers of G3 isn't that good though as it's on the back.
The G3 seemed to have the edge...until he mentioned the camera. What a disappointment, at least for me, since I like to take pictures. :(
Samantha Tek you 2 are idiots, the camera is pretty much awesome. I own a g3 the pictures just look amazing, obviously this "reviewer" needed something to bash the g3 on.
G3's camera is almost perfect, and you can record in 4K. why dafuq are you guys complaining?
It's a fantabulous, amazing camera, just a little worse than the iPhone 6. I would still choose the LG in a heartbeat.
Well here's one more for the G3 camera, it's AWESOME!
UI - LG UI is horrible, so iPhone wins
Options/Customisation - LG hands down
Design - LG because smaller bezels and more ergonomic shape, whilst iPhone looks nicer to me this is subjective
Build quality - iPhone probably, unless there are issues with heat
Fluidity - iOS is generally more fluid to use than Android due to optimisation so iPhone
Battery - LG hands down
Camera - iPhone
Price - Definitely LG. iPhones are in no way worth their ridiculous price tag.
Apps - Not sure, the app store has better quality apps but you can get all apps for free on Android
Screen - LG
Overall - LG wins
iphone bends you're not smart.
ʞɔnɟ you all Only the 6+ does
They both do, apple products have always been overrated.
UI on LG G3 looks good and not childish
Tommy Lee The UI on the G3 now looks like Touchwiz. Whether that's an upgrade or downgrade from the pure shite it was before is arguable.
"This was a tough one"??? Dude, you're losing your mind along with your credibility. You're matching the latest and greatest to a phone that's about 2 years too late. GTFO
It was a really tough choice for me, too, but I returned my G3 for the iPhone 6 because of the camera. Super-slomo, fast burst mode, and more storage made the choice for me.
***** I'm not poor, so that doesn't much matter to me. I'd rather not own a plastic phone, anyway. The LG feels cheap.
I've got a 5s on iOS 8 and a G3. My question is,... how disappointed are you with your decision? Upgrading from my 5s would be idiotic given the battery life of the 6 is slightly better than the 5s which is terrible, and the optics are practically the same. I find myself sliding the nano sim into the adapter, and into my G3 more and more each day. I'm finally going to cough up some money for a 128gb micro sd cause i'm convinced it's the right phone for me. I'm just having a tough time figuring out your logic.
The thing that moved me from my 5s to the G3 was the screen size. That, for me, trumped the great camera and app ecosystem of iOS. The 6's screen is big enough to make me happy, which pushed the balance back in favor of iPhone.
John Frazier Screen size and third party keyboards drew me to Android. A few years back. I was excited about the iPhone 6 size and the fact they allow third party keyboards. Then iOS8 came and ruined the fun - Safari browser is default (can't change). No third party app sharing (share an image in photos to say, Instagram). All sharing is to Apple's default apps and a couple select third party apps. I forgot how locked down iOS was and still is. The phone is gorgeous, but iOS still being so locked to Apples own apps is a deal breaker for me. And it's a shame because the iPhone could really be the best Google phone ever.
***** I know you're trolling, and that's just so cute, but my 128 gigs of storage is much faster NAND than your 128 gigs of SD storage, so I can store my 240fps 720p video with sound without a skip or stutter. Do I have more than I did before? Definitely yes. I had 96 gigs, 64 of which was on an SD card. Could I have paid $156 more for a 128 gig SD card? Sure, but I didn't have to pay extra for mine, and it's faster and more robust memory.
Am I the only one that think stay the iPhone design is just ugly?
Nope. I hate the new iPhone design.
Its ugly as sin. especially the 6+ those bezels on top and bottom and even the sides ugly as hell looking.
I agree. Before its release, most people said that the leaked casings for the next iphone 6 doesn't look good, that it looks like an ipod touch etc. Now that its released, they praised it like it was the best looking phone to date. Sheeps. . .
They should of just kept the 5s,look and try and make that bigger
Marc White the 5s was ugly but the 6 is much more handsome
Todays review world is cluttered with "both devices are great".
Nobody has the fucking balls to come out and say... "hey, we reviewed these, and I prefer this phone to the other one." That's what a review is for. I'm not going to be able to make a decision on "both are great"..... You expect me to go buy both to find out for myself? wtf..
Iphone is so shit, why do people like it so much?
Tough decisions here.
***** No its because IOS is a really good OS. The problem with Andriod manufactures is that they don't have any passion in their phones. Apple is very proud of every product they make which is why they are marketing kings. Android manufactures shit out crappy phones left and right everyday which is why Andriod has a fragmentation problem. If Samsung would just focus all their efforts on the Galaxy and Note series flagships then they would be kings. They would be able to update these phone quickly
kushdaddy144 Well... why does the ios 8 update require a few gigs and do fuck all?
Games 'n stuff! Wtf are you talking about? Few gigs for what? installation ?
kushdaddy144 bro are you stupid? Androids shits out phones left and right because it caters to all types of people you want a big phone, small phone, low price/high price, phablets, etc. IPhones are a ripoff... first of all no removable battery, your batter fucks up you're screwed. Secondly, you gotta dish out more money for higher storage so if you get a 16gb(really 11gb) iphone and run out of space well you're fucked. "IPhone has better apps and camera bla bla bla". Third, they lag like shit I tried using my cousins new iPhone 6 and it was slow as shit. You're just a dumb ass that's brainwashed into thinking I phones are actually good you dimwit
My G3 started having flickering screen issues so i went over to 6plus. i still miss the g3 a lot.
andrew chieng u should of bought the g5 instead of that iphone
More than a day with LG G3 ??? Are you mad ? Have you really examined the battery life or just making videos for TRP !! LG G3 will last only 6~7 hrs with moderate use.

So, now tell me that am I doing something wrong ? Besides it lags like my 2 yr old 738 MB RAM Desire X jelly bean 4.1 and doesn't feel like a flagship phone. Getting hot randomly and dropping battery in a 75 degree slop on battery history graph on those moments.
If you are right then either I have badly manufactured battery or I really don't know :(
Suman Nath Could be a faulty battery. Happens with a lot of phones/products tbh.
I'd get it checked out. Maybe get a hold of another battery and check if that has the same problems. I don't have that many programs installed but I don't have such bad battery drain. Yeah it uses quite some battery when browsing facebook but I've had that on my old phone as well and that app is known to drain quite some battery. Whatsapp doesn't drain a lot for me though. I'd get that battery checked out though, always a chance that you've got a faulty one.
Dams couldn't delete posts .. forgot to tag you there.

Do you have lags on default app drawer ? I mean it's no where as smooth as even nexus 4. I shall be going to for a factory reset before going to service center for battery checkup.
Very good comparison, nice to see you doing something else other than the news.
Just upgraded to g3. Nice. I wouldn't even consider the iPhone. So lame and restrictive. Have to jailbreak it etc. Went home, hooked it up to laptop and less than five minutes had all my music and movies on the device. And at the same time inserted my micro sd card with extra 32 gigs of memory to add some extra boxing matches i had stored on it. Can you do that on iPhone? Well, hell no. Lol
Jaime, your audio levels are off, and seems you are missing a pop filter :)
I Loved My New LG G3 Phone Alot!! It's The Best Phone I Ever Bought So Far Now!! :)
Great review, Jaime. Although I'm sure the comments will turn into an OS-bashing haven, the bottom line is your OS preference. The LG G3 and the iPhone 6 Plus are my two daily drivers and I enjoy the heck out of both of them. I appreciate your mature and non-biased review, as I've grown so annoyed with the unnecessary bashing. Keep up the great work!
lol? he is saying lg copy iphone.... O.o iphone iOS copy android!! lots of things android had before iphone...
hans hadiranto iphone introduced things with their new iOS just recently. but this things people had on android years ago.
believe me. I owned both of this phones so i know.
but i 'm not using iphones anymore because of the weak hardware. iphone is so overrated.. to much advertisement.
Android didn't even existed before IOS ... so how could iOS could copy android? ...
when iphone 1 came out it had only a 2mp camera LOL. my phone which came even before that had already 3.2MP.. did you even had an iphone 1 in your hands? it was horrible. yes things improved A LOT. but saying something is copying iphone smells more like jealousy, that the phones are better then iiphone, which is built with cheap hardware and sold overpriced. or rather most part of the price you solely pay just for the apple logo on th eback ;d
internet arrived later in your country :)) thats why you didn't discovered wikipedia yet I guess and thats why you are so confused :))
***** late? XD we have the fastest internet in the world dude xD and it defenitely arrived before wikipedia even existed.
I'm an iPhone 6 user and thinking of switching to LG G3. Do you think that is a good idea?
UncorruptedGamer probably save it for the Upcoming G4
UncorruptedGamer it depends on your need on a smartphone pal,but i wanna tell u my own experience ...i owned an lg g3 i bought it 2weeks ago i have some issues on its camera..recording a full hd video on 5 minute will make the phone overheat i think its because the laser af...so i think you should stay with ur iphone 6..but its up to u
My friends be like I got a iPhone so it's better than your lg. FIRST OF ALL, I DON'T NEED A PASSWORD TO DOWNLOAD THINGS! SECOND OF ALL RUclips COMES WITH THE PHONE
i love you hatsune miku
***** I said I don't prefer IPhone, read it over. :)
Had the LG G3 for almost a year. Now it's bricked and I want an upgrade but now I know the iPhone 6 is not to go to :/
What do you mean "bricked"? Did you mess it up or what happened?
Stuck on the boot logo. I got it out, and ended up getting a restart issue and wifi issue which is unrepairable so now I'm out of a phone
I just bought an LG G3 about half a month ago. I upgraded from an iPhone 4S. Yup, an iPhone 4S! xD But, I'm beginning to think this was more of a downgrade. But, this is because my entire house is an Apple ecosystem. Apple TVs, computers, etc... and Android, just doesn't work for me. I'm really considering going back to my iPhone 4S, believe it or not, haha. I am missing so many features such as: iMessage, streaming to Apple TV, Pages/Keynote/iCloud for iOS, iOS's design, and even the iPhone 4S's design, which in my opinion, looks way better than the LG G3, lol. I thought switching to Android from iOS would be easy, but it's withdrawal for me, lol.
Also, when I got the phone, I updated it to Lolipop, and I've been having the worst battery life. My iPhone 4S lasts longer the the G3 at the moment. All over online, it says to reduce the resolution to 1920x1080, or to restore the phone, which I've done a couple times now, and I still feel like I'm only getting like 30 minutes of screen-on battery life everyday. Any recommendations how I can fix this? I even have the screen's brightness at 50%, which by the ways is torture on the LG G3, haha.
In conclusion to my essay here, I'd like to say if you are a long time iPhone user, good luck adjusting to this phone. I thought I'd just miss iMessage, but everyday I go to do something in my home, and I find out my phone does not have the feature that even my iPhone 4S had. Although, if you happen to hate the iPhone for some reason, or you are a long time Android user, get this phone, for sure! There are a lot of fantastic things that make it an awesome phone! I got this phone on a 2 yr contract with a $0 down payment, and 2 years free of Spotify, which is another reason I got this phone, haha. DO NOT make the same mistake I did. As I usually do, I made my decision to get this phone right on the spot, and I told my mom to take me to Best Buy, and I got the phone in less than an hour. Not even 2 weeks later, here I am, regretting that I got this phone. Anyways, good phone, amazing price... the only thing that doesn't sell me on this phone is.... Android! :/
Haha I wrote this like a month ago. I guess it's just because I'm used to Apple, that's all. I'm still using the phone right now, and still dislike it just as much. Idk, haha. And to get my G3 to do things like streaming to the Apple TV I have to root the phone, which I don't really want to do haha
Cool☎📞
Hahah I have the iPhone 4s and it's the crappiest shit I'm upgrading to an lg G3 very soon so I think u should go back to G3 buddy
+ChrisTheAppleOne what a surprise a guy with your username isnt happy with his android lol, dont be a troll, we all know u dont own the g3. with your username i'd guess u stood in line to get the ip6 and now your pissed that u got 2012 tech in 2015....
Nah xD I picked the name when I was like 11 lol. I couldn't afford to get the iPhone 6, and still can't, and at the time I was desperate for a new phone because my current phone was an iPhone 4S! I'm actually liking the G3 a lot better now, though. I'm using the Nova Launcher and it makes the phone's home screen so much faster than LG's home screen.
lg g3 all the way
I have an LG G3 and am going to an iphone 6 tomorrow you really helped me and of course I am keeping my LG G3 as a 2nd phone - love your coverage on this and your easy to hear messages - I have wrist disabilities both wrists and hate the turn on off button on the back of the LG G3 being right next to the volume forever hitting it and don't like turning my phone on by tapping the screen but again keeping both if I don't like the iphone 6 well I'll switch back as I own the LG G3 and it still works great
not a tough choice. android always wins.
I don't see the whole point of metal phones. I don't think the being made of plastic and metal is a big difference. Most of the people using iPhones with its beautiful design have cases really large cases. So why worry about a design that most of the people hide with cases.
Congrats on a true honest review / comparison of these two phones.
Well while comparing some basic issues with G3 were not considered like over heating problem, UI lag, battery life is poor as compared to HTC M8 due to 2K display. Isn't used both G3 and M8 and would give better points to HTC.
i ve heard it heats up alot ??can anyone confirm it
Heats up at the volume keys after playing games
+Adigun Forest got the z2 never regret it
Xperia z2
I'm up for an upgrade this spring. I have the S4 and TouchWiz has been annoying me lately. I'm definately going to keep an eye on the next LG G series.
As always
Love Your vids
Haven't had an iPhone since the 3g. I just bought this LG G3 and its a huge upgrade from the Optimus L9. So far I've seen the flaws which are minimal to say the least. The good far outweighs the bad on the phone.
Good Job! I was always curious about both phones.
That Jaime, really helped me decide what I wanted. Ended up getting a second-hand G3 for $280. Good stuff!
Before I switched over to the LG G3 a few days ago, I had an iPhone 5 running iOS8 and yes it was buggy as hell. The most annoying part was the disappearing third party keyboard. Now that I have switched to the LG G3 I don't ever see myself going back to iOS - as its not as customizable as Android.
I think a lot of Android users are really trying to like the iPhone 6 because of its supposed newfound customization options, like 3rd party keyboards. But the fact of the matter is that it is still a restricted system and we still are forced to use iTunes to sync shit.
thanks alot, i want to ask about at LG g3:
1- hangging ??
2- temprature when heavely using ?
You forgot to mention that unlocked (the way many people outside the US buy phones) the G3 can be picked up for almost half the price of an iPhone 6.
That's a deciding factor between to end phones.
The G3 is so much better looking. It's not even close this time. Screen is also amazing. Seen one in person. Insanely sharp.
When will more manufacturer make cell phones with the speakers on the front? Am holding out for the new HTC One M9.
Ive had iPhone since day 1, recently switched to Android and the LG G3 a few months back, I wonder why I didn't make the switch a long time ago, Android is much more up my alley, the customization is remarkable, iPhone is to controlled and sheltered, I will never go back to iPhone, cant say I had any problems with it but the lack of customization simply drove me away
I've had a LG G3 for three months now and the battery life is horrible. It lasts under normal use about 6 to 7 hours. Updated to Lollipop and it helped a bit but it is still depleting the charge fast. Aside from that, the phone will sometimes restart randomly or just crash on you. I had a Sony ZL which I loved and will be going back to Sony as soon asI can afford it.
Good comparison Jaime. Nice video.
Can you elaborate on the negatives of the G2's UI? Another reviewer said something about it being hard to learn or use...I had never used an Android device before, picked up a G2 and had zero issues learning it, it's pretty simple and easy to use. I'm just curious specifically, what all the fuss is. I've been considering the Note 4 and keep reading it has "too many setting"...how can you have too many? Anyways, just trying to understand another perspective. BTW, nice and informative review.
Great comparison, thanks!
You can't say that LG is rewriting/refreshing the widgets every time you visit the home page and then say IOS does it better. IOS doesn't even support widgets, and won't do it for at least 2 more years and then they will invent something magical (widgets). If you compare those device without the widgets on LG g3 I promise you will not notice a difference.
jaime since uve been using the g3 as a daily driver hows the lag in this device? ow and how frequently does it heat
I've been using the G3 since July and have yet to experience the "lag" that everyone is talking about in relation to this phone. It runs smoothly through everything that I require it to do, and the only times it heats up is in very graphically intensive gaming.
F_L_A_M_E ok thanks
why on all of this comparison, they never mention about the price? because that was the most important part about buying something
He has brightness on the G3 only @ 30% @ 2:39
hiephoi058 right trying to make the stupid little android better
Yeah but iOS doesn't need 3GB, hence not having it. On benchmark tests iPhone 6 still comes out on top. Beats all the other top Androids, as well... ;)
*****
I have been researching the whole android vs apple thing and admittedly the iPhone 6 is a beast of a phone. The only two other phones that beat it were the Nexus 6 and the Note 4, which the Note 4 is more expensive but seriously destroys any competition.
*****
Seems to depend on the phone itself, two new ones won't make the exact same score.
Zoid Burg
Yeah I've noticed for a while that each iOS will run the best on that phone. Like the iPhone 5 will run the best on iOS6 and the 5S best on iOS7
Cool story huh?
APPLE COPIED SAMSUNG S6
Thank you for this helpful video.
Whenever you put the term "vs." in the title I think that you owe us a declarative winner at the end of your review. It's just a cop out to say that because you need two phones you're going to have them both. For 99.99% of us, this isn't an option. Thank you for the war that you have started in the comments section.
Jaime, recomiendas el G3?
Great video. I'm a cellphone salesman and it's always hard to really compare the 2 of these phones. Since I also have to carry 2 phones, I opted for these 2 and it really is the best of both worlds.
I have the LG G3 and think it's one of my worst purchases. I wish I could add a bit more money and get back to my Galaxy S4... had way better battery life! I really am thinking about going for an iPhone. I mean, I love my Macbook Pro, love using Apple's software - they always have a smarter approach to things. I don't know.... :(
Yeah... Battery drains fast at lg g3! If i play 2hrs with it, non-stop, i could officially drain battery fully.
Is there a contest to see how many iPhone 6 videos can be cranked out in the shortest amount of time that I'm not aware of?
U WANTED THIS VIDEO FUCKING DUMB ANDROSHIT FANFUCKINGBOYS
In reality, there is, this is how these review sites make their money, and they all want to cover the iPhone because it will get them a ton of views.
Had the the g3 for 2 days and whilst i loved the phone for the way it feels and looks i sent it back. Battery life was terrible and it lagged and stuttered. I'm a big android fan and haven't used anything else for about 6 years but this wasn't good. I think the processor just can't handle the screen. Decided to order the iphone 6 after cancelling my 6+ order. My first ever iphone! Will make a nice change from constantly chopping and changing roms on my note 2!
The only reason newer phones are getting fancy specs, is because Android just eats up CPU. My sister's Nexus 5 freezes up like 10 times a day, and her carrier's store says they can't do anything. My dad's LG G2 just randomly stopped working. It doesn't charge, doesn't turn on, and our carrier's store said it's bricked and they'll give him a new LG G2, haha.
THE THING with iOS, is that Apple actually makes their operating system and their phone's work together. The 6 and the G3 aren't much different in speeds, as far as I know.
My LG G3 for sure is laggy. It's just as laggy as my iPhone 4S haha
Yes. It slowed down over time. People have been telling me it's LG's Android skin or something, idk.
but nexus 5 and g2 have bad specs
that is so not true u fucking liar my dad has a nexus 5 that only has 8 GB of storage and 1 GB of RAM and never lags u fricken hater
+Arman Arceo how many apps?
also any phone won't lag if it's o
new
4:30 thats completely bullshit.
G3 takes the best photos compared to any other USABLE phone (lumia 1020 is not one of them)
Just try to see some panoramas taken by people, or macro photos... or anything else.
Thank you very much ...I want to buy lg g3 Would you recommend it؟
is it worth getting an lg g3 now as a budget flagship phone coz at the moment I can't find anything with specs that comes close to it
Yep ! You were smart Bro' by choosing the two. They are both really good phones if not the best out there now. Though the LG G3 might be worth a slightly higher praise considering it was launched 5 months earlier than the iPhone 6 ...and still rocks!! I feel that with the specs the LG G3 has it is going to be a really high end phone for at least another two years to come ...
