Remember playing Snake on your phone? It wasn’t so long ago that the best display you could get on your mobile was a black and white resolution of barely a few hundred pixels.
We’ve come a long way since those primitive displays. Today’s smartphones deliver impressive high resolution displays as a matter of course. But what if there were a device that made even your high-end phone today look like your old Snake-playing handset?
It sounds insane, but that’s exactly what the LG G3 is: a smartphone that’s streets ahead of its competitors in display quality. At 538ppi, the G3’s 5.5-inch Quad HD display carries four times the resolution of standard HD and almost twice the resolution of a full HD display.
LG has always maintained a high reputation for its expertise in the display arena. It has been monumental in rolling out next-gen UHDTV display for its TV screens. True to its reputation, LG has now brought the clarity and depth of 4K resolution to a smartphone.
When LG began developing the G3 display, full HD was the highest resolution available for a smartphone. Drawing on the wealth of talent and experience of its development team, LG was able to come up with a display able to render true-to-life image quality into a smartphone, eclipsing other devices in the process. The proof is in the mind-blowing visuals. The Quad HD display gives sharper, crisper, and clearer images with more realistic colour reproduction. The high resolution means you can really see the finest of details in images. And with its class-leading screen ratio, the G3 makes the most of its space.
One of the ways in which the G3’s resolution really shines is when it comes to photographic resolution. With most of today’s cameras shooting in 13 megapixels, LG has already been taking photos at a higher resolution than standard and full HD. Quad HD allows you to view your photos the way they were meant to be viewed. The G3 renders images as striking as your own memories, allowing you to relive the moment whenever you want.
One issue that has plagued high resolution smartphones is their tendency to consume large amounts of battery power. LG has taken this into account and introduced 3A Optimisation, which allows you to enhance the battery consumption depending on how you are using your phone’s display. The result is a phone that, despite its incredible specs, effortlessly outlasts its competitors’ flagship phones. It’s difficult in the current smartphone market to find a device that truly impresses, but the G3 manages that and more. With its Quad HD display, the G3 is like having a living art-book in your hand.
