Note: This review is written from a retrospective standpoint, as the LG G3 was released in 2014. It focuses on its lasting legacy and performance relative to its era. In 2014, the smartphone war was fought over one thing: screen resolution . While the HTC One M8 and Samsung Galaxy S5 stuck with 1080p, LG jumped straight to 4K-level territory. But was the LG G3 a brilliant innovator or a spec sheet hero that overheated?

T-Mobile (D851) or a clean US Cellular (US990) unlocked model. Avoid Verizon (VS985) due to locked bootloaders and slow updates.

8.5/10 Rating (today): 3/10 (Only for nostalgia or as a dedicated music player/offline GPS)

Yes. The laser focus, rear buttons, and first-ever Quad HD screen make it a milestone device. T-Mobile's model (D851) is the best US variant to collect because it can be bootloader unlocked for custom ROMs.
