LG G3 : Key Features
LG G3 Key Features :
Posted By Tony Bravo 21 April 2015
There are number of key features that LG is touting as new and improved this year with the G3 but none sticks out as a prominently as the QHD screen. Some might think that this is four times the pixel count of an HD screen, and you'd be right to a degree.
But only if you're talking about 720p screens if you are comparing the G3 to something like the Galaxy S5, that packs in two million pixels to the G3's 3.6 million. It's a lot sharper, sure but anyone thinking it's going to be mind blowing will be disappointed.
While it agreed he was right there was a limit to what the human eye can see in terms of sharpness, Lg reckons that the way sight works means the Retina display isn't the top end.
The big question here with the screen is: why do it? The official reason LG told me was it had done some research and had released that Steve Jobs was wrong.
But apparently there's another level still to attack, and that's just what it's done with the QHD screen. Where Samsung's offering 440ppi sharpness, the G3 has 538ppi, which is equivalent to high end glossy art books, which LG used as the benchmark of sharpness to aim at.
It's unfair to criticize the QHD screen on the G3 there's no doubt all high end smartphones will be using this technology in a year or so and in the months since the G3 launched Samsung's joined the club with the Galaxy Note 4, and Google / Motorola have repeated the trick with the Nexus 6.
Thanks.
