A great smartphone still in the race, the + and -

After the many disappointments of my colleagues with catastrophic sav brands / Chinese imports (excluding 4G incompatibilities, sometimes exotic android OS, buggy etc.) I dropped purchasing a Meizu mx one or more, and ultimately hesitated between LG G3 (nice look, few lags, not bad heater - I am a fan of 3D games - nice screen but a little too big, average range, much too expensive), the Galaxy S5 (banal look like my old S3, winded in 3D games, flashy colors always, remains expensive, in short want to leave that mark which had increasingly refuse to recognize the bug of the sudden death of S3, S4), and the last sony Z3 (just look ugly square, against a very fluid , in tip top 3D games - videos, and a real heating after sustained use!).

The Sony also had my preference with a very high price hit with rate reductions jai tested this good "old" smartphone released in late 2013: the LG G2 16GB, and where happiness All in all.

Minor drawbacks to know: non-removable battery and no micro sd.

For the battery can be changed by following the easy tutorials (remain calm and especially no flickering!); Expansion Memory on absence i opted for the LG US 32GB version with the barrel price promo on Amazon :) and here.
Jai added still a mini hub OTG (tested with 32 and 64 GB microSD without problems).

At the end of a week of use intensive enough for now here is my conclusion:

The pros:

I find myself in the end with a powerful smartphone that for the price of a 16GB in the competition is:

- Very fluid without lags (no need to change the launcher once, or optimize cpu / voltage etc., just disable unnecessary applications)
- Features a screen hd a nice, clear reading, very accurate colors
- Has a good grip,
- Excellent performance (surfing, big 3D games, HD videos, gps)
- A comfortable autonomy,
- Correct reception,
- A very fast GPS fix (no signal loss for now as advertised on some forums)
- A low SAR,
- And a fairly light weight.

The -:

If I have to find fault it is:

- The buttons placed at the back (question usual)
- Sound loudspeakers fairly average,
- Non matte screen (although clearly visible in daylight)
- Automatic brightness that is poorly managed and unusable for me (same with many competitors)
- Soft keys that take part of the screen, damage (but avoid the failures of physical buttons), it tells you
can remove (caution must be root, so loss of warranty).
- The average picture quality (as unfortunately all the other smartphones that i tested to troubleshoot ok, not for pictures
noisy is probably still not wait in low light years worth, pathetic results, it said the LG2,
as LG3 are above the lot)
- Lheure / day inaccurate if we start off the LG2 for more than 2 H! (Eg at night, so I cut all my
critters that emit waves / consume at night), we must start by systematically resynchronize lheure
Tedious manual action but not LG side solutions found to date (look on the net: lg g2 date time).

In short, quite satisfied with this acquisition for now; to see if the reliability persists over time.
