LG G3

[BuShuang]

No leak on dimensions? I dun want a huge phone sticking out of my jeans...

It isnt unibody.
The leaked pics show a crease in the body, like on the Samsung s4.
The base also has a little indent to open the back case.

So u can be sure there will be a removable battery and prob sd card.

The dimensions dont look too big either.
Seems smaller than G2 Pro.

If it's really a unibody, how will we be able to insert our micro-SD card if there's really a slot for one?

The SIM card, on the other hand, can be like the iPhone-type tray perhaps.

If that's the case, definitely will be on top of the list of my possible choices!

But isn't that indent the micro-USB socket? Otherwise where else would it be for LG phones?

You have to rely on the in built file explorer to move files to the sd card

Not for the HTC One M8's one.

Could be mini-usb socket but in any case, there is the crease to open the back panel.
U can see that the back panel can be separated from the top part.

That, could be the Korean model for Korean domestic market only.

The international model does not.

LG makes the G3 different from Pro 2 to cater for different segment of consumers.

A marketing strategy! Those international consumers who wanted a removable battery and SD card would have gone for Pro 2 or Pro 3 next year.

As for G3, it does has a big market internationally for consumers who do not really concern or need removable battery and SD card slot.

 

[Hisashiburi]

Arent u being a bit too pessimistic?

If the G2 had a removeable battery, the G3 will.

We certainly hope so that G3 has both!

Then, G3 will be selling likes hot cake especially in this part of Asia!

From this pic, seems like the bottom bezel is huge!
Plus adding in onscreen buttons means a lot less screen space.
Hope not though...

edit: Bezel size looks similar to the G2...

 

[kelvinti]

Yeah! A 5.5" on spec. means a 5.3" actual screen for apps as the other 0.2" will be taken up by the on screen button aka. OSB.

As for the bezel at the bottom, I guess it has the same dimension ratio as the Pro 2. It looks just a bit bigger on a smaller G3 bah...

 

[Nuclear Boy]

Not sure if anyone still tunes in to FM radio nowadays lol, but I can hazard a guess that the G3 won't have the function, just like the current ones.

I guess there will be no FM Radio aa the online steaming is reliable and popular now.

Furthermore, a FM radio drains battery as it keeps searching for radio signal on the go.

Looks good.


That thing on the top, is that a TV antenna? For Korea market only (like the G Pro)?

Yup!

Antenna for Korean model only.

I do hope there's a FM Radio. The previous 2 smartphones(Optimus G & G2) have FM Radio.

Me too, 5-5.2 inch I can perhaps still use single-handedly. But it isn't a big problem if larger.

I thought the international models of the phones don't come with FM?
