amazon LG G3 Stylus reviews
Design
Called LG G3 Stylus, therefore midrange smartphone LG inherited almost the entire design of the G3. From the back of the plastic but are made “dummy” metal, curved beveled on two sides create a sense of embracing, power button, and volume button located at the rear, is optimized screen edges well so pretty neat, all reminiscent of the G3’s design.
However, the machine does not get senior feeling like the top of the LG smartphone. The body thicker, heavier weight and particularly plastic material at the back of the machine is not “quality” as in the original version. This is completely understandable as the G3 Stylus’s price is only half compared to the LG G3.
Similar to “brother” of his, G3 Stylus also allows removing the back cover to replace the battery and sim. The machine uses 2 sim standard micro SIM (2 sim support both 3G), microSD memory card slot is located on the SIM tray 1 but not exclusively as the previous smartphone to save area.
Overall, the G3 Stylus with well-designed, easy to handle, but could not reach the “level” as the top smartphone midrange but still brings a touch of luxury, beautiful.
Screen
The screen is one of the factors that LG G3 Stylus proved more disadvantaged compared to its predecessor. Whatever the size remains the same at 5.5 inches, but the resolution has been reduce “no mercy” from 2K (2560 x 1440 pixel, 534ppi) to qHD (960 x 540 pixels, 200ppi).
It really is a pity. 5.5 inch screen, LG should at least equip G3 Stylus 720p HD resolution (1280 x 720 pixels) to ensure adequate visibility for the machine sharp. Because only qHD resolution, screen G3 abridged version shown in detail quite limited. You may recognize less sharp, blur, jagged when looking at the icon in the main screen or while browsing, surfing Facebook, read mail.
Screen G3 Stylus is not equipped with light sensors to automatically adjust the brightness according to the environment. So will quite inconvenient when you always have to adjust by hand to achieve a reasonable brightness. Fortunately, the screen of the G3 Stylus has high brightness, bright colors and wide viewing angles.
When measured by the software monitors and specialized equipment, the results of the matches shown visually perceived. G3 Stylus screen shows the basic colors than the actual along with other factors such as temperature warm colors, deep blacks and high contrast. High brightness and good contrast has helped to show beautiful color .
Camera
Still owns 13MP resolution similar LG G3 “original” but the main camera of the LG G3 Stylus also suffer the same fate as the screen being cut almost all the advanced features to reduce costs. There’s no autofocus assist lamp laser, no optical stabilization system OIS, even HDR mode which appears on almost every current smartphone LG is also eliminated.
G3 Stylus camera interface also go towards minimalism on G3 but you have selected automatically mode or panorama mode, toggle flash, the setting only customize the resolution, enable / disable photography voice, timed imaging and image proportions grid. In fact the majority of users now often use automatic mode when taking pictures and not much, therefore adjust the settings interface is simple but not necessarily, but at least LG also be custom fitted simple and should necessarily offset the EV.
Quality photos from the G3 Stylus 13MP cameras also did not leave much impression. In bright light, the speed of focus and the shutter speed is quite fast but outdoor shots slightly brightly colored than the reality, are pushed higher brightness, low contrast, sharpness and expenses small details are not high. Camera’s image quality 13MP G3 Stylus is poor 8MP Galaxy Grand Prime.
Indoor shots for the same results. Do not adjust the brightness according to clearing up the brightness of the image will be completely dependent on the point of focus, as well as a metering point. So, sometimes you will have to take new shots are shots with standard brightness.
In low light conditions, the camera 13MP image quality is only passable. Image slightly lighter, less detailed. G3 Stylus camera although BSI sensor captures better in low light conditions, but also of little use. Photo taken in poor light conditions is easy to shake, lose focus.
Although LG ad is pretty much on the ability selfie but front camera are not focused. Front camera resolution is not high on the G3 (2.1MP) continued to be reduced to 1.3MP on the G3 Stylus. Therefore, take a selfie with the G3 Stylus pretty low quality.
On the video recording capabilities, the G3 Stylus 13MP camera allows video recording with a resolution of Full HD 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels) at 30 frames / second, the video is saved in mp4 format popular. Meanwhile, the machine’s 1.3MP camera allows video recording at a resolution of 720p (1280 x 720 pixels). It also allows light to flash continuously to support the film and point light notably of the G3 Stylus flash with high brightness, wide coverage.
Contrary to the image quality, the video quality from the G3 Stylus quite good. Video filmed from this handset in detail, sharp, bright colors.
