what's up everyone John Brennan from TechnoBuffalo here with a full head comparison of the LG g3 and the oneplus one for me this is like picking a favorite child these are my favorite phones that have come out the entire year so I'm a little bit sad to have to put these suckers head-to-head but we will and we'll declare a winner it's gonna get started so you know this isn't a review but I'd like to give disclaimer so you guys know everything I know these phones both really well I've used each of them on their own as my daily driver for well over a month the one plus we're testing is updated to the most recent X and pH 300 of CyanogenMod with Android 4.4.4 and both are being reviewed directly as they come out of the box there's been no routing or Rahming or anything that's been going on with these films at all it's just directly as they come out of the box as you would buy them so I'm not gonna get into benchmarks and that kind of stuff here we cover those in the review which wouldn't be linked down below if you want to check them out and they're both running the same Snapdragon 801 processor with almost identical 2.5 gigahertz clock speeds anyway so these are two of our highest rated phones ever but since we live in a competitive world let's just make them fight or they're gonna Duke it out in five categories we're gonna go through screen design build software camera and intangibles and I know they're a ton of other categories we can cover but this can't be an eight-hour video so I picked the five that I thought were most relevant let's start with screen since they're bones and you're staring at the screen almost all the time anyway before anyone starts screaming that this is over before it even begins there's a lot to the screen story here so first specs the g3 has got a 5.5 inch 2560 by 1440 pixel display that means it's got a 534 PPI the one has a 5.5 inch display same size it's 1920 by 1080 and a PPI of 401 so on paper this would just be a total slaughter same screen size better resolution on the g3 round over but it's not that simple remember though the first time you saw HD programming on a TV for me it was a football game it was super drastic so I remember seeing HD for the very first time be able to see the blades of grass watching standard definition was such a big difference I will say though coming from 1080p to the high resolution screen the g3 it is not that drastic like it was from standard to high-definition just as it heads up it's nothing that's gonna blow you away it's just not that different from 1080p - the g3 it definitely looks sharper but it could easily be mistaken for a really good crisp 1080p screen colors give you a little bit washed out though but it will play the video back in 4k the one plus gives you options think since I engine to adjust the screen setting is right out of the box and to find the settings that's really best going to suit your needs the recent updates make the screen a bit softer and the changes are really appreciated colors look an awesome whites look white blacks look black the way they should be about the general consumer here screen resolution between the two wouldn't better in to my opinion at all but because I have a bit of a mental disorder where I need to have the latest and greatest specs and my tech bones then yeah it's gonna be the g3 here so maybe the results were predictable but it wasn't a runaway victory that you might have originally thought consider it a moral victory for the g3 last note though both are really bad in direct sunlight as most phones are but the oneplus one is almost useless in direct sunlight next let's jump to design and build during my review of the g3 I commented on how I thought the plastic back with the metal coating was a nice middle ground and I think it still is but the material on the back of the oneplus one is hands-down the best I've ever felt on a phone and metal or otherwise I'm sorry HTC One m8 its section enough that it's got a really good grip it isn't rough and it looks awesome without attracting just crazy fingerprints they completely nailed this one I like how the screen appears to be floating on metal I like that the user gets to choose between on-screen or capacitive buttons I just really like how the phone feels in the hand it's not perfect though I've got a creek down by the charging port I do have some worries about how it's going to handle sort of long-term wear and tear they notable drop and I'm gonna have I don't use case Sonny my devices the g3 though it was certainly no slouch I'm still not a huge fan of the buttons on the back but the near bezel design is absolutely stunning the phone can be a bit slippery but it's pretty gorgeous overall it's like picking between Kate Upton and Giselle here but I'm going with the oneplus one alright next let's talk about software so the g3 is running LG's custom skin atop Android 4.4.2 where's the oneplus now confess I enjoyed moderate injury 4.4.4 LG skin is not offensive to the eyes like TouchWiz can be the fonts and icons are pretty pleasant they have a pretty elegant solution for running apps on top of each other and for the most part are pretty decent about pushing updates out at least compared to the other big manufacturers cyanogen though is a customization freaking dream everything from the theme you can even pick a g3 theme you can easily tweak anything here it can be modified and fit your needs not to mention supports LG's awesome knocked unlock feature I could gush about sigh engine for a really really long time here this is my first really extended time with it and I absolutely love it I originally thought that stock Google was the best OS going in the Android world until I tried this and it's not that there's anything wrong with LG's UI or the software on its ion engines is so great this one definitely takes around two so next let's talk about camera so during our review of each we did full galleries again hit the links down below to check them like if it looks like a different lighting situation is that kind of such specs rarely tell the whole story here but both have the same theme today based on camera the recent update to the oneplus added a really cool feature called clear image which takes around 10 shots to do them all together it looks like HDR on steroids and the pics come out really really good focused time is about average the camera shots are pretty decent it's solid in low-light offers filters built right in and just takes just generally nice pictures gg3 other hand is the first film to offer laser autofocus which sounds gimmicky but it really worked as advertised it is crazy fast and I'm startled how quickly it can not only focus but also snap a shot pictures also come out looking really great I got a 10 and a half month old at home who's just starting to crawl and getting him in focus is next to impossible and of course as a parent I take away more pictures than I should and the LG absolutely nails it there I don't care much for 4k video on a phone so focus and picture fidelity matter than most to me and for me LG comes out on top and takes this round so we were all knotted up too - lets go into the final ride about intangibles this for me is the most interesting category the oneplus brings ain't Han to the table most importantly it's ridiculous price 349 bucks for an unlocked phone that can square off against the big boys is absolutely incredible I love the way this one feels in the hand obviously as we talked about life is off-the-charts awesome and even after the update though the call volume is still kind of on the low side and that's a bit of a problem for me the g3 though bring some features of its own it's got a removable back and expandable battery you also add in an expandable storage as well the option for a Wi-Fi Wi-Fi calling if the carrier's important is also there it's got really really loud calls and speakers and the antenna is crazy strong if both these were on the table and I can only pick one to use the next 12 months it's a tough decision about picking the g3 the camera strong antenna speaker and screen really sell it for me even despite the higher price both phones though are really incredible and I think these are two of the three best phones on the market right now if you want to throw in the HTC One m8 you cannot go wrong with either of these devices but the big determination for me is which one I would pick thought I was gonna use one for 12 18 24 months I would just pick the g3 it was not a runaway victory at all I love the oneplus one I think it's an incredible phone and a little more budget-conscious I mean this is you're gonna get a killer device with the oneplus one assuming you can get one which is always really hard to do they're invite systems a bit silly suppose it'll come out and wide release for the end of the month early September but I think LG absolutely nailed the g3 and I think it's one of the best Android phones ever to be made so what are your thoughts what do you guys think do you agree disagree if you disagree tell me why if you agree tell me why which one would you pick up if you got both on a table you had to use one for a year I'd love to hear your thoughts on it leave your comments down below the next time I'm John Ritter from TechnoBuffalo see ya next video bullying thank you guys for watching this video we hope you enjoy if you want to be up-to-date on what's coming next in the world of consumer electronics hit the big subscribe button right down below
