Following the success of its well-received LG G2, I like the large stunning QHD display of the LG G3 and totally enjoyed using the flagship smartphone over the past few weeks.
The LG G3 is available in Singapore in 32GB (S$868) and 64GB (S$928) models.
The LG G3 is one of the first smartphones to sport a 5.5-inch Quad HD display – other makers are only now beginning to ship QHD on their flagships.
Top edge of the LG G3.
The 538 ppi resolution of the G3 is one of the highest in the market now and is equivalent to four times the resolution of HD and almost two times that of a Full HD display.
The sharper detail was remarkable especially when viewing 4K video on the display. Even Full HD video looked sharper and clearer.
The LG G3 is one of the best smartphones that I’ve used that are currently on the market. Fast and smooth, with great display and excellent camera.
The other thing that impressed me was the camera (sample shots at the end of this review).
The 13-megapixel rear camera comes with OIS+ (Optical Image Stabiliser Plus) and uses an innovative Laser Auto Focus for faster and more accurate focus on the subject.
The LG G3 comes in five colours: Metallic Black, Silk White and Shine Gold, Moon Violet and Burgundy Red.
The result is sharper photos and a faster response time.

BlackBerry officially launched the new Passport smartphone in Singapore tonight. It has actually gone on sale with the three main Telcos in Singapore for S$938 (incl. GST but excluding line contract) on 26 September.
First impressions: Overall, the BlackBerry Passport is a handsome and sturdy smartphone that puts greater productivity on the fingertips of road warriors.
The square-screen design is really unique and gives a beefy look to the phone.
The build looks sturdy and with the squarish aspect ratio, is probably less bendable than the usual longish form factor of regular smartphones.
The BlackBerry Passport with a square screen.
The wider screen makes reading documents a lot easier, without having to scroll left-right in addition to scrolling up and down.
The Passport is definitely too wide for one-handed operation – but who uses a BlackBerry with one hand anyway?
And since people expect to use two hands when using the Passport, ladies with smaller palms may not object too much to the increased girth of the new smartphone.
As expected, the physical QWERTY keyboard makes typing so much easier than on a virtual keyboard onscreen, especially for ladies with long nails.
