I was at the Sprint store yesterday and was lucky enough to run into the LG rep who was there showing off the new G3. I was actually there because I had purchased a Sammy S5 and was not super happy with the earpiece call quality or the camera with indoor pictures. Oh and Im still in my grace period with the S5 so great timing.
Anyway, I got to put my S5 toe to toe with the G3. I was kinda surprised at the results.
The S5 screen was much brighter and had richer colors. even when the lg rep turned up the brightness all the way on the G3. Humm. Was underwhelmed by all the big talk about this new qhd.
Speed: Very similar. Not any real difference there even with Touchwiz on the Sammy being a bit of a hog.
Pictures. Again, the S5 proved the winner. Much sharper with shutters speeds about the same. Lazer focus is fast on the LG but about the same as the S5. However, the G3 wins the indoor photo war with less blur and brighter photos.
Smoothness: Really again about the same. facebook scrolling showed the same lag using the facebook app. on both phones. Actually, my daughters lg-g2 is better in this department.
Off angel and sunlight viewing. Don't hate the messenger, but the S5 wins again. Much easier to view on both fronts.
Call quality: Hands down in my opinion the G3 is the winner. Much clearer sounding earpiece with more volume. Speakerphone is about even with a touch more volume on the G3.
Well, that's all I had time for. The rep was a bit surprised I think by how well the S5 did. However, there are also other very cool features of the G3 I did not get to try.
It really comes down to what is most important to you. Each phone has it's strengths. Im still on the fence.
