this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by audible what's up everyone John written from TechnoBuffalo with a full review for you of LG's latest dg3 there is crazy competition to be crowned smartphone King so let's play a game of phones and so you should sit on the throne I usually start off all my review talking about call quality but not so fair talk about call quality here since didn't have all the bands for 18t but when calls were connected they sounded really good crystal crystal clear and speakerphone was also very loud we get our us unit regardless of a carats on all updated talk about call quality let me just jump into what this phone is really all about it is just a giant screen so case you're wondering what this giant screen is you probably should already know it's a 5.5 inch quad HD display that is 2560 by 1440 with an insane 534 PPI making it the highest resolution phone ever in existence we'll actually tying for the highest resolution phone that has ever been put out on the market and as it expect it looks really really crisp but like I kind of thought I figured everything is gonna look just gorgeous when I saw it those extra pixels really don't matter that much unless you're doing something that takes up all of those pixels so just bear that in mind taking that pixel count out of the equation the white balance is a little bit off and kind of looks a little bit pink to me but that just kinda picking it looks absolutely gorgeous I know this isn't gonna be a popular thing to say but it doesn't look that much better than a 1080p display next let's jump into design in a sea of sameness this thing really stands out to me it is almost no bezels at all it's just like a screen it kind of melts in your hands I'm an OG and Alice that are gonna do serve a metal paint on the back in plastic I was like you can put lipstick on a pig still gonna be a pig but it actually works really well here you can tell it's plastic that the metal kind of gives it a nice balance between weight and through the device feel you don't HTC one a mate you pick it up and you know it's a heavy device doesn't feel sort of heavy as that certainly feels more heavy than something you'd get on a Galaxy s5 buttons on the back are still there and still weird but wait easier get used to then the G to having them on back though doesn't the phone look Riggin awesome and slick and sweet so maybe it's form over function here like the g2 before it took me about four days get used to the volume and power buttons on the back tried trying to find where it was still though the camera buttons located right above it so oftentimes I kept snacking my finger right on the camera which certainly smudged it and then leaked all the best picture they had a certain clean it off then the pictures came out great we'll talk about camera coming up so I know I'm nitpicking here on the buttons people get used to it honestly I didn't diffusing the buttons all that much because it's got a pretty cool knock feature you just double tap screen and turns off double tap it again turns on it doesn't set a password if you want by doing that as well so you know it's kind of cool touch you really have to use the buttons all that much as well I also like the two moveable back so you can pop in a fresh battery it's also where your sim and microSD card are going to live overall though the device feels and looks as premium as it is I really like just looking at this phone you know a lot of Android phones look identical this one you can really tell that it's something different next let's jump to software LG has done a lot customized Android here aesthetically icons are flatter and LG's widgets are brighter and the app tray Scrolls horizontal is her flatter is kind of a new thing to do our SK Telecom unit has vemos bloat where I have ever seen on a single device it's got like a whole screen of bloatware but presumably hopefully when hits you assures it'll be better I'm hoping it can't be any worse I do love that LG has universal search on here it works awesome my favorite features that come standard on iOS this one works just a Telugu need hit the little question at the magnifying glass type in what you want and it populates one of you apps or fine apps real quickly it's a great way to go other LG stall works like cue apps and cue mem over here as well as I'm taking memos right on your screen and it uses often but they're here it's a really heavy skin but it feels light and let's Android be Android they add to it but don't take away that's kind of what I mean by being light there's a lot of LG things there in the settings menu it looks all different it doesn't take away with the experience they're not so rowing features at you that you kind of have to use sort of took an HTC approach I think where they put sort of features on there they thought you might use the most take a real quick second to thank our friends at audible.com check out

awesome did a whole video on it the microphones too is pretty good as well if you want to see that 4k video unedited hit the link down below take you off to that look at the back throw the phone you're gonna see a little black oval right next to the lens and it's a frickin laser for autofocus got freakin laser beam which means that focus is really really fast and more important really accurately even when taking macro shots which was great a lot the best photographer in the world I was able to get things that looked really really good pictures generally looked like I said really really good even in low light away the full gallery of picks up on the full review if you want to see more and that flora do links going to be right down below some cool software tweaks here for the selfie lover so you can kind of make a fist and it'll do a count down take a pic it's a nice little feature if you want to take selfies which listen we make fun of everybody take selfies but we all do it I know your selfie fiend you're gonna go blind for it so all this stuff like the camera the quad HD the quad core processor figures gonna be a drain on battery right that was a big concern for me and you probably thought the same thing so first got a 3,000 million power battery in it and surprisingly it's really good in fact I noticed no better difference versus standard 1080p powered phone I was easily able to get through a full day my usage is pretty heavy generally I'm up around 6:30 in the morning connected to Wi-Fi about two hours of phone calls I've got two email accounts being pulled down every five minutes and social networking going on a lot of social networking going on emailing some video viewing generally connected to Wi-Fi when I'm at home or the office mic text messaging the time I plug my phone end of the day and I don't keep my brightness set auto either keep it generally about 75% end of the day I had over 45% of my battery which is really incredible and even better than some 1080p phones about on par with what I had with HTC One m8 which when I say only has a and ADP screen so I don't know what magic LG serves apt to hear but they did a really good job with battery life so don't worry about that that was one of my biggest concerns and I started using it let's go to wrap this sucker up this is close to a perfect phone as I have seen and the best Android device I have ever used it's fast got a gorgeous screen all-day battery life awesome camera and everything I needed to do it did almost flawlessly those you guys that know my reviews watched me for a while you know I don't say these things lightly at all I didn't think anything would ever top my enthusiasm this year for HTC One m8 but this does sub might be turned off by it's a little bit larger size but for me with its super thin bezels I probably noticed I was holding essentially a small tablet in my hand this gets a highest ranking you've ever given out a 9.5 is as close to perfect a phone as I have ever seen if you want to get a new device don't think twice run to your store and ever this hit your carrier pick this thing up you will not regret it I'll serve you well for one two
