hey what is going on guys lon here from android authority and the LG g2 from last year was one of the biggest hits of 2013 and LG is looking to capitalize on that this year with its successor and this phone has been leaking like crazy there's been a ton of rumors so today we're going to be rounding up all of those rumors and let you guys know what you can expect from the LG g3 alright so before I get started the LG g3 is only a couple of days away from being announced and our very own Josh magar will be there covering and doing a hands-on video and a ton of other coverage as well on top of the review itself so if you don't want to miss out on those videos make sure to subscribe to the channel down below if you haven't already and also if there's anything in particular that you guys want to see about the LG g3 if you want to know about the camera or anything else to display how big phone is leave a comment down below letting us know what you guys want to see and we will definitely do the best we can as far as covering all of that content but let's go ahead and get the specs of the g3 out of the way as this is probably the most confirmed part about this phone which we most recently saw in a slide briefing which lists a Snapdragon 801 processor with three gigs of ram 32 gigs of on-board storage and a 3,000 milliamp hour battery so this phone sounds like it's going to be an absolute beast at least on paper and we haven't seen that many phones so far with three gigs of ram so it's going to be nice to see another flagship phone with three gigs of ram and that 3,000 milliamp hour battery sounds like it's going to last all day so the specs on this guy sound really awesome supposedly it's going to be a 5.5 inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 so this will be the first flagship smartphone in the united states with a 2k display which we didn't get on the galaxy s5 or the HTC One m8 so I'm really excited for this display LG's always made really nice looking panels so I'm super excited to see how how and sharp that it looks and the ppi this thing is going to be through the roof we're looking at about 538 ppi so it's going to be ridiculous I'm really looking forward to it probably going to be one of the most enjoyable displays that we've ever seen on a smartphone but around back we're looking at a 13 megapixel camera and we don't really know a whole lot about the camera outside of its mega pixel count so it's not going to be 16 or 20 like the galaxy s5 or the Xperia z2 but we're expecting maybe OS Plus technology which we first saw in the g pro 2 so I don't see any reason for LG not to implement that into the g3 and os + basically combines Hardware stabilization with software stabilization and LG has been really good with their cameras lately especially since the g2 and also the g pro 2 so the camera is also another aspect that I'm really looking forward to I'm really want to see how well this camera performs out how good the quality of the photos are so I'll definitely looking forward to that one of the most interesting parts about the back of this phone though is that extra sensor right next to the camera which is something a lot of people have been wondering about is it a fingerprint sensor is it a heart rate monitor is it a extra camera sensor for capturing depth information what is it turns out according to some of the leaks and rumors that we've heard its supposedly a sensor for assisting with auto focusing and allowing better performance and low light now let's talk about the design of the g3 and according to some leaked photos it looks like it's still made of plastic so that hasn't changed but when the g2 came out last year it featured some very interesting design cues one being the super thin bezels on the sides and to being the back facing buttons which LG has sort of turned into their own trademark and both of those seem to be making a return on the g3 and the back facing buttons they look like they're a lot more flush to the phone now they're not protruding so it looks like you're actually be able to lay this phone down flat and have the problem of accidentally pressing the buttons when you lay the phone down so it looks like LG has figured that out which which is the plus in my book as far as the colors are concerned we're obviously getting a black and white model which we've seen renders up and it looks like LG is going to be jumping on the gold bandwagon with a gold LG g3 and we've seen gold on the iphone 5s gold on the galaxy s5 and gold on the HTC One m8 so it looks like LG is joining in on the party with the gold option is well I'm probably going to be picking up a black model but it's always really nice to have options so i'm not really complaining on the software side of things we're expecting the g3 to ship with 4.4 point2 KitKat with LG's custom interface on top and from the link screenshots that we've seen it looks like they've scaled things back quite a bit the UI looks a lot flatter more minimalistic and just a lot cleaner over all the colors don't look quite as punching in your face which to me is a good thing so I I'm liking the new look and it doesn't look quite as cluttered either you can see a comparison of the notification shade looks a little bit cleaner not a not quite as much stuff going on which is good we're probably expecting some of the same staple features we've seen before in previous LG devices like the qslide apps which lets you multitask and the NOC code as well which we saw in the g pro 2 so those are probably going to be there but one of the most interesting features that we've heard about that we've seen leaked so far is LG's concierge service which supposedly is going to be like Google now where it gives you information based on your usage and your habits it's going to be interesting to see how well this particular feature actually works if it works just as well as Google now and what it can actually do beyond Google now they don't actually make you want to use it or if it's just going to wind up being like s voice a service that nobody ever really uses but I guess we really don't have that long of a wait to find out but that's going to do it for this video guys the LG g3 is only a couple of days away and like I mentioned earlier our very own Josh magar will be there covering the event live doing a ton of hands-on
