LG G3 vs Galaxy S5 (part 1): design, display and UI

May 30, 2018September 6, 2014 by Rahul Gaur

If you’re not the kind of smartphone fan that gets weak in the knees when you see metallic phones like the HTC One (M8) or glass phones like the Xperia Z2, then plastic is where it’s at. Plastic is not only lighter and cheaper to produce, it also absorbs shock better than rigid materials like glass or metal.
So, how does the LG G3 stack up to Samsung’s big hitter, the Galaxy S5? In this first part we’ll compare design, display and user interface. The next part will deal with G3 and S5 software features, hardware and cameras.

The Galaxy S5 (left) and the LG G3 (right) go head to head in the looks department.

Design

The Galaxy S5 is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a beautiful-looking device. When it launched, the first thing many reviewers thought was: Band-Aid. Sure, the rubberized back panel feels better than other Galaxy devices, but that dimpling was not attractive. The S5 sticks to Samsung’s familiar design language, with physical home button, silver plastic trim and side-mounted power and volume keys. On the back there’s the camera lens sitting atop the dual-LED flash/heart rate monitor combo and the charging port is covered by a water-resistant flap.

Design is a personal preference, but most agree the LG G3 (left) is prettier than the Galaxy S5 (right)

The G3 is not water-resistant and has no heart rate monitor or fingerprint scanner. It also does without physical buttons of any sort on the front or sides. LG has opted instead for the rear-key setup that they claim puts the buttons where your fingers naturally are, and after a little period of getting used to, they do feel quite natural. They can also be used as shortcuts to the camera and note-taking apps from a screen-off state. The front of the G3 is all glass, with tiny bezels and a metallic-look plastic curved behind that sits nicely in the hand. The camera lens is flanked by a dual-LED flash and laser auto-focus module and none of the ports are covered. Both devices have rear-mounted speakers.

Both devices have a metallic-look plastic trim, but the G3 (right) looks a bit more sophisticated.

The Galaxy S5 (bottom) has a water-resistant flap over the USB 3.0 port. The G3 has USB 2.0.

While design and styling is a matter of personal preference, I don’t think the Galaxy S5 design is impressing anyone in particular, including Samsung, who have ”relocated” the man responsible to another job. The S5 looks like the S4 looks like the S3. The G3 certainly follows a lot of the design language of the G2, but it has been refined and perfected in important ways, from the better backing material, which is much less of a fingerprint magnet, to the increased screen-to-body-ratio up front (it’s now 76.4% screen). Both devices have removable back panels with replaceable batteries and microSD card slots, but to my mind the LG G3 is the clear winner in the looks department.

Even if you don’t like QHD, the G3 (left) has an amazing screen.

Display

Samsung didn’t really bring too much of interest to the table with the Galaxy S5 display. With just a 0.1-inch bump in screen diagonal, they stuck with the same Full HD resolution as the S4, which watered down the pixel density a bit. Samsung use a Super AMOLED display which produces rich blacks but suffers a little when under direct sunlight, due to the lack of full-screen illumination (AMOLED displays only light up the colored pixels, black pixels remain ”off”). Samsung displays are unbeatable as far as bright, luscious colors go, and the Galaxy S5 is no slouch on that front, with insanely bright and rich colors, even if they are a bit over-saturated.

Samsung distribute the front-facing camera and sensors around the earpiece and the S5 also has an IR blaster. If you look at the icons, you can see they are a little less defined than on the G3.

LG has bumped the screen diagonal on the G3 by 0.3 inches over the 5.2-inch G2, bringing the G3’s screen to a whopping 5.5 inches. By keeping with their tiny bezels and increasing the display ratio on the front though, the G3 doesn’t feel like a phablet in the hand. It is only marginally larger than the Galaxy S5, but has almost a half-inch bigger screen. The G3’s display is an IPS LCD, which means it is great in direct sunlight but produces ”illuminated” blacks, making them less dark and ”true” than blacks found on an AMOLED display. The G3 doesn’t have the vividness of the Galaxy S5’s display, but it does bump the resolution to Quad HD, giving it almost double the pixels (the S5 has just over 2 million pixels, the G3 just under 3.7 million pixels) as the S5.

The LG G3’s earpiece lines up with the selfie camera and sensors, with the IR blaster just visible up top. Even in this picture, you can see just how incredibly sharp the QHD diplsay is

While many are still out to lunch on whether or not QHD makes any sense because the human eye can’t perceive the difference and so on, in reality the QHD resolution is very visible. You may not notice when you’re scrolling through menus or settings, but when you look at high-quality games, pictures or video it is utterly unbeatable. If LG’s claims that their various optimizations mean the QHD demands on power and processors are equivalent to those for Full HD, then there’s clearly no decision: why wouldn’t you want art book quality visuals if you don’t have to pay the price in battery and processor consumption? The Samsung display has crazy color reproduction, but bright colors can’t really compete with incredible clarity and sharpness. The G3 has a pixel density of 538 ppi compared to the S5’s 432 ppi, if you like numbers.

Here’s a screengrab from LG’s presentation of the G3, showing the difference between AMOLED and IPS with a nod to the QHD IPS found on the G3 (right)

User interface

In all fairness, the G3 in my possession does not have final software on it, and is a Korean pre-production model. Having said that though, you can still get a good idea of what LG has done with the new Optimus UI and how Android 4.4.2 runs on the G3. The UI is cleaner, simpler and more crisp than its previous version. LG has opted for subdued and ”mature” coloring and tried to avoid excessive vividness and over-saturation in the new minimal design. Major apps have been color-coded for task awareness and there’s all new circular and square icons. You can see the major UI features in the pictures.

Notifications shades of the new Optimus UI (left) and the new TouchWiz (right).

Samsung did a pretty good job of overhauling TouchWiz for the Galaxy S5, which also runs the latest Android version, but as I said at the time I first saw it, it all feels kind of rushed and unfinished. It’s certainly better than previous TouchWiz versions, but it lacks consistency. Perhaps the next update will allow Samsung to tighten up the new UI but until then it’s a bit patchy with bright, bold icons in the settings, a different look in the notifications shade and other aspects that still look a little like the old TouchWiz. Samsung do big and bright tremendously well, so their UI tends to the brighter end of the spectrum and in all honesty looks good for it, but the inconsistency is an issue

Despite squeezing more apps into the app drawer, the G3 (left) doesn’t look cramped.

Preferences for user interface is equally as personal a choice as design and material preference. I personally prefer the clean layout and simplicity of the new Optimus UI. I was however, impressed by Samsung’s attempt to overhaul TouchWiz, if not their final execution. It feels like a step in the right direction to be sure, but it seems as though they didn’t quite take enough steps before they released it. As a stock Android fan, I don’t much like any manufacturer skins, but if all we look at is consistency and unity, it’s clear that LG have done a better job with the new Optimus UI, whether you like the particular look of it or not

Samsung (right) opts for a dark theme, while LG (left) goes for a lighter UI.

Conclusion

It all boils down to a simple trifecta for me in this part: the G3 looks better than the G2, the S5 looks the same (or worse) than the S4; LG’s Optimus UI is polished and clean, while the new TouchWiz is irregular and feels unfinished; and LG made a significant improvement on their display, in terms of size and resolution, while Samsung stuck to basically the same screen as the S4. Of course, not everyone wants a 5.5-inch screen or QHD, so that last one is up for debate, giving us a two wins and a draw result for LG. Let me know your opinions on these comparisons in the comments below and stay tuned for part two where we’ll look at the G3 and S5 software, hardware and the all-important camera.

10 Google Play tips and tricks every Android user should know

August 28, 2014 by Rahul Gaur

Google�s Play Store is your official Android portal for apps, games, movies and TV, books and magazines, and more. But Google Play isn�t just about content; it�s also a valuable tool
for managing your various Android devices, setting notifications for apps and services, enabling automatic software updates, and personalizing your Android experience.Here are ten tips and tricks for getting more practical value out of Google Play.

1 Manage your devices via the Web

In addition to accessing the on-device app store, you can reach Google Play via your Web browser. The Web interface offers an array of options that aren�t available through the Android-based app store, including the ability to see and manage all of the Android devices associated with your Google account.To see a list of all your Android devices, visit Google Play at play.google.com. Click a content option in the vertical menu on the left side to see a Settings icon that looks like a small gear in the top-right of your display. Click that icon to view a list of your registered devices. (If you don�t see the Settings icon, try choosing another content option from the content menu.)

To change the name of a device in the list, click the Edit option, type the new name in the Nickname text field, and click Update to save your changes

2. Manage mail preferences and notifications

The Play Settings screen also lets you update your email preferences and notification settings. Open the Web-based Play settings, using the process described above, and then scroll down to the bottom of the screen, where you�ll see two check boxes. If you want to receive news and promotions from Google Play, fill in the first box. If you want to receive email notifications from developers seeking feedback on the apps you use, check the second box.

3. Review orders, report problems, and request refunds

To see a handy list of all of your paid transactions on Google Play, first click the Play Settings icon�but this time, instead of choosing the Settings option, click My Orders.

The orders list provides details about the specific content you�ve purchased or downloaded, including the item�s full name, price, transaction date, content type, and status (complete, cancelled, shipped, or whatever). To filter your purchases by content type, use the All Orders menu in the top left corner, above the list of purchases.

To report a problem with an app, product or service, or to request a refund, find the specific purchase in the orders list and hover your pointer over that name in the list. A set of three vertical dots will appear to the right of the name. Click the dots and choose the Report a Problem option. A popup box with a drop-down menu and a set of options specific to the content type will appear. Choose the appropriate option from the menu, and you�ll see a list of possible resolutions. If the suggestions don�t help, fill in the text field with appropriate details and submit your request. You should receive some type of email receipt after submitting a request.

4. Password-protect your orders

It�s a good idea to password-protect your Google Play account, to avoid unwanted or accidental purchases�especially if multiple people (including children) frequently use your device or devices.To enable Play password protection, open the Google Play app on your Android device, tap the three vertical dots in the top right corner of your display, and choose Settings. In the User Controls section, you�ll see a box next to Password. Enter a password there, and then confirm it to enable the setting.

After turning on password protection, you�ll be prompted for your password whenever you make a Play purchase. You can make additional purchases without reentering your password for up to 30 minutes after your most recent purchase.

Some devices enable password protection by default. If the Password box is checked, your account is already protected.

5. Automatically update your Google Play apps

Google Play�s ‘Auto-update apps’ setting lets you automatically update your apps and games so you don�t have to update them manually. Activating this option will reduce the number of (potentially annoying) update notifications you receive, too.

To enable automatic app updates, click the Menu icon (the three vertical dots) in the top right corner of your Google Play Android app and choose Settings. Under the General section, you�ll see an option for Auto-update apps. Tap that option and confirm it in the popup box.

You may still occasionally receive notifications to approve app updates if permissions change, but most of your apps will automatically update after you enable this setting.

6. Automatically add widgets for new apps

Widgets are among the best things about Android apps. They bring app features onto your Android home screen for quick viewing. And Google Play lets you automatically add a widget to your home screen for any new app you download, assuming that the app has a widget.

If you frequently download lots of apps, this setting may be a bit much, because unlimited widgets can become too much of a good thing. But it�s a good way to quickly determine which apps have widgets and whether they�re useful to you. And deleting widgets you don�t want is quite easy.

To enable the auto-widget option, open your Google Play app, tap the three-dot menu icon in the top right corner of your screen, and choose Settings. Then fill in the box next to Auto-app widgets, in the General section.

7. Filter Google Play content

To view and modify your content settings, open the Google Play app, click the three-dot menu icon and choose Settings. Under User Controls, choose Content filtering options. You can customize those settings by checking or un checking the boxes next to the five filter options under ‘Allow apps rated for’, which include ‘Everyone’, ‘Low maturity’, ‘Medium maturity’, ‘High maturity’, and ‘Show all apps’.

8. Browse for new apps and send them to your device from the Web

Sometimes it�s easier to search for new Android apps, games or media by using your Web browserthan by using the mobile app. If you use both an Android phone and an Android tablet�or various Android devices�you can use the Play Web interface to send new apps and content to specific devices quickly and easily.

When you find an app or other download you�re interested in while using the Web interface, tap the Install or Buy button on the download page. After logging in to your Google account, you�ll see a pop-up box containing a list of the app permissions and, at the bottom of the box, a drop-down menu listing all of the Android devices linked to your account. Choose the device you want to send the app to and confirm the download. If you want to download the app to multiple devices, walk through the process again, but this time choose another device from the drop-down menu.

9. Remove devices from menus

All Android devices you connect to your account show up in your Google Play devices lists, but you can remove them from menus by modifying your Visibility settings. For example, if your last phone was a Samsung Galaxy S3, but you recently updated to a Galaxy S4 and no longer want the GS3 to show up when you download new apps in the Web interface, you can remove the old GS3.

Using the Web interface, open your Settings menu (as described in tip 1 above). On the My Devices page, under the Visibility column, uncheck the boxes next to the device or devices you want to remove from your menus. Then refresh the page and confirm that the boxes are still unchecked; if necessary, uncheck them again.

10. Filter tablet-optimized apps

Finding apps that are designed for tablets in Google Play is simple, thanks to a newish Designed for Tablets section in Google Play. To access that section, open the Google Play app on your tablet and tap the Apps option at the top of the page. Drag a finger to the left of your screen to scroll from the homepage to one of the following pages, and choose Designed for Tablets from the drop-down menu at the top of a page.

Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 now has a gold version Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 now has a gold version

August 14, 2014 by Rahul Gaur

Samsung doesn�t usually release gold color versions of mid-end smartphones, but it�s making an exception in the case of the Galaxy Grand 2. Initially launched in January (in black and white), the Grand 2 currently costs around $300, and, according to recent data, it�s one of Samsung�s best-selling handsets of this year.

The gold variant of the Grand 2 is available only in a few Asian markets for now (including Malaysia), and will be released in others (like India) pretty soon. Obviously, the new color doesn�t change the handset�s specs, and neither its price. So you�re getting the same features that the black and white versions are offering: a 5.25-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels, dual SIM capabilities, 1.9 MP front-facing camera, 8 MP rear camera with LED flash, quad-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 400 processor, 1.5 GB of RAM, and 8 GB of expandable storage space.

The Grand 2 was recently updated to Android 4.4 KitKat (from Android 4.3 Jelly Bean). To find out more about the handset, you should check out our Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 review here.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 review

July 30, 2014 by Rahul Gaur

Key Features: 10.5-inch, 2,560 x 1,600 AMOLED display; Exynos 5 Octa 5420; 3GB RAM; 16GB storage; 802.11ac Wi-Fi; Bluetooth 4.0; microSD up to 128GB; 7,900mAh battery; 465g

What is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5?

The Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is the big brother to the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 � it�s what the iPad Air is to the iPad mini 2. It has the same basic design and features. That means an outstanding 2,560 x 1,600 resolution Super AMOLED screen and plenty more besides. We loved the smaller version, so it�s no surprise that the 10.5-inch version is just as impressive.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5: Design

We like the the Galaxy Tab S 10.5�s design, but we don�t love it. The dimpled, soft-touch rear is pleasant to handle, but the bronze-gold colour scheme is an acquired taste. It�s nothing like as refined as the iPad Air, which is a shame given they cost the same.

But the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is well put together and it�s a featherweight. It weighs just 465g, though this is only a few grams less than the iPad Air. It�s also thin � 6.6mm makes it 1mm thinner than the iPad Air. These are all fine margins, but the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 has less competition among Android tablets at this size. As 10-inch Android tablets go, it�s way out in front.

SEE ALSO: Best Android Tablets 2014 Round-up

The other interesting design point is case support. We weren�t sent a case for the 8.4, but we have one for the Galaxy Tab S 10.5. Like the 8.4, it fastens to the tablet via rather odd jacket style �poppers�. They don�t help the looks much, but they hold the case securely.

We like the case, too. It�s slim, so adds little weight. It also offers three angles from which to view the screen. The only issue is the folding required to make them takes some learning. Even after a week or so we�re still fumbling about each time.

SEE ALSO: Best Tablet 2014 Round-up

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5: Features

This tablet has everything. You get the fastest version of Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.0. The Wi-Fi version has 16GB of storage built-in, but the microSD slot supports up to 128GB cards and there’s a 4G version that has 32GB built-in. There�s an IR Blaster for controlling your TV, too. We find the feature a little hit and miss, but it�s a nice extra. There are cameras front and back and there�s an LED flash for the main camera � a rare feature on a tablet.

Less impressive is the fingerprint reader. This is the same one found in the Galaxy S5 and it�s no more successful here. The swiping system is just too unreliable to use it to unlock your tablet. It only works 40/50% of the time, which isn�t a great hit rate
