Nice phone, but after use in Korea, gets hot with gaming and extended surfing or videos. It force-ramps down screen brightness and CPU speed when it heats up. They are locked from going further until it cools. Users may not like the aggressive screen power savings settings. In a neat idea, LG lowers screen refresh rate at times to save battery. The new UI is very nice, but either it or the power-hungry 4k screen causes a tiny bit of speed lag when compared with the speedy G Pro 2 (not available in the USA). The G Pro 2 has a 5.9"screen, but is similar to the G2, with a 1080p screen and snapdragon 800 at 2.26ghz. The new G3 runs at 2.5, but is not quite as speedy in menu movements. Gorgeous design, but is bested by the Galaxy S5 quite handily on battery life. The G3 will sell like hotcakes, despite feeling like a bit of a hotcake when used a lot. The 4k video looks stunning with provided stock footage, but most users will not notice a difference because there is little 1080p content. LG is not willing to share the new UI with G2 and G Pro 2 users yet, as this become more obvious when viewing the same UI at 1080p (confirmed by G2 hackers who have added the new UI to the older 1080p phone). Lastly, apps not optimized for 4k will not appear in the app store (candy crush, etc.).

So-so reviews on this phone. I spotted this a few weeks back and thought about this over the Oppo Find 7 but after the not-so-great reviews about the LG G3 and its "washed out" screen, I'm not going this route.

Overzealous LG.

Appliances are awesome but electronics are so-so. Remember, LG stands for "Lucky Goldstar" and Goldstar WAS crap!!

Not "washed-out"at all. Just not over-saturated, as with some other phones.

Oversaturation is inaccurate image reproduction.
