Comparisons Featuring LG G3 Screen
Short Review
- The LG G3 Screen features a large 5.9-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 373 ppi.
- Its build dimensions are 157.8 x 81.8 x 9.5 mm, weighing 182 grams, which gives it a substantial feel in hand.
- Performance is driven by the LG Nuclun chipset with an octa-core CPU, combining 4x1.5 GHz Cortex-A15 and 4x1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 cores, alongside 2GB of RAM.
- The rear camera boasts a 13 MP sensor with optical image stabilization, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the front camera is a modest 2.1 MP.
- The 3000 mAh battery supports standard charging but lacks wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.4.4 (KitKat), the software experience may feel dated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
- The phone is available in black and white, though it lacks water resistance.
- Overall, the LG G3 Screen combines a large display and solid performance with a functional camera, but its software and battery charging features are less impressive.
