With the newly announced LG G3, a comparison with key senior competitors range was required. With its beautiful shell brushed his supercharged datasheet and expectation that has generated arriving a little later than the others, the last Korean flagship already imposed as a flagship model of this year even before the announcement .

Now it is time to see what is LG G3 face S5 Galaxy, HTC and Sony Xperia One M8 Z2 .

Processor and Performance

If

whatever the device, we have to do the same type of processor, Snapdragon 801 , some small differences are worth noting. Thus, if the Galaxy S5 and LG G3 can boast of taking the “AC” version of Soc which is the most powerful two and accepts computational speed up to 2.5 Ghz , Sony Xperia and Z2 are equipped HTC One M8 model “AB”, limited to 2.3 Ghz.

A difference that will kept in perspective, first because the software optimization also plays an important role in the performance, because then the difference between the models is negligible processor under daily use and will be felt especially during benchmarks.

However by combining the “AC” version of the Snapdragon processor 801-3 Go of RAM, the LG G3 offers the best possible combination of the four terminals contained herein.

Screen

Where Samsung, Sony and HTC have decided to stay, either by choice or by constraint resolution screens Full HD, LG pulls out of game as the first “public” (Vivo XPlay 3S and Oppo Find 7 smartphones being Chinese) smartphone with a pretty spectacular screen resolution 2K is a definition of 2560 x 1440 pixels on paper even if the difference to the human eye on a diagonal of 5.5 inches remains unproven.

Whatever one may say, it’s still a strong argument and a competitive advantage in the face of other flahships this year. Just like last year, LG has opted for the IPS screen technology that had already proven on the LG G2.



Camera

exception of HTC One M8 whose photo sensor UltraPixel 4 Mpix is ​​far from unanimous among consumers, Galaxy S5, Sony Xperia and LG Z2 G3 are all three behemoths in the field of photography.

While the latest Samsung introduces a 16 megapixel camera sensor we appreciate especially the processing speed shooting (less than 0.3 seconds), the Sony Xperia Z2 offers a sensor 20 7 Megapixels which is the same as shipped by the previous generation with some software optimizations and more.

Equipped with a camera sensor 13 Megapixels , the LG G3 also stands out from its competitors with two major innovations:

OIS Plus that combines optical stabilization and electronic stabilization for even sharper images

  • laser autofocus placed at the back of the device that can quickly and accurately calculate the depth field for each shot even better result
  • Autonomy

    Despite the presence of a 3000 mAh battery and therefore greater than that of two of its main competitors are the Galaxy S5 (2800 mAh) and HTC One M8 (2600 mAh) capacity, autonomy LG G3 is nevertheless a point that is being debated in the presence of the resolution of the screen is still very high, facing competition and therefore more energy efficient.

    In this regard LG says that it does not pose a problem, the battery as the screen of the device is sufficiently optimized to provide “impressive” autonomy

    Design

    Each of the four major high-end of the first half of 2014 features a design very identity and more or less inspired by that of the previous generation. Galaxy S5 features a perforated back, HTC One M8 an aluminum unibody and Xperia Z2 very square lines.

    Similarly, the LG G3 incorporates some of the graphics codes LG G3 but improving them. The physical buttons are always placed on the back of the unit and the lateral and horizontal edges have been revised downwards, leaving the large and imposing 5.5-inch screen make the whole place. A very wise choice that allows the G3 to be placed in the same average than its competitors in terms of size while providing a larger screen.
