Smartphone LG G3 Stylus: customer reviews

LG G3 Stylus, reviews of which have spread throughout the Internet, will be the hero of our today's review. What can we say briefly about this model of the smartphone? The flagship got a good design, however, it is unlikely to be able to estimate the hardware and performance of the highest score . You can say that it is somewhere on the middle level, well, or slightly above average, but only in this way, and nothing else. The hardware platform supports the use of a special device, so LG G3 Stylus, whose reviews will be written at the end of the article, received the corresponding name. Well, it's time to move from words to deeds, and first we'll see what characteristics can surprise us (or at least please) this device.

Brief specifications

In the case of the device, the operating system of the Android family version 4.4.2 is hidden. It is more known among the Internet audience as "KitKat". LG G3 Stylus D690, reviews of which have already left many buyers of the device, belongs to the category of smartphones. To use the cellular network, it is necessary to embed a SIM card pre-processed in accordance with the MicroSIM standard. As expected, there is the possibility of working in the GSM bands, as well as UMTS. For data transmission at high speed there are standards GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA. There is no LTE module, it's not possible to work in fourth-generation cellular networks. The device supports the function of using two SIM cards.

Memory

The amount of short-term (operational) memory is 1 gigabyte. Part of it is allocated to maintain the operability of the operating system. However, 1 GB is often enough to successfully use the smartphone, even in multi-function mode. Special problems with the exploitation of this criterion should not arise. LG G3 Stylus D690, reviews of which fans leave devices running the operating system "Android", is equipped with eight gigabytes of long-term memory. It is reserved for the storage of personal data of the owner of the smartphone. This can be multimedia information of any kind, including video and music, texts and photographs. Expand the amount of memory possible by using an external storage format MicroSD. Memory cards up to 32 GB are supported.

Dimensions

In three- dimensional space, the phone's dimensions are 149.3 (in height) by 75.9 (in width) by 10.2 (in thickness) millimeters. Weight LG G3 Stylus Dual D690, reviews about which there are very different, is 163 grams.

Safety and autonomous work

Special protective devices in the phone is not provided. Waterproof materials were not used in the manufacture of the device, the same is true for dust filters. As a source of autonomous work, the device has a battery with a capacity of 3,000 milliamps per hour. The manufacturer does not give any specific data on the operating time in different modes. Now it's time to talk about the device screen.

Screen

The diagonal LG G3 Stylus Dual (reviews about the gadget allow you to make a positive assessment) is 5.5 inches. Thus the picture on the screen is displayed in the resolution 950 by 540 pixels. The screen matrix is made using IPS technology. Thanks to this, we get a device that reads text from which it will be possible under any conditions any amount of time, while the eyes of the owner of the device will get tired at a minimum.

It is known that IPS-matrices reduce the burden on the eyes, which allows you to practically not damage your eyesight. The maximum effect of such a component is manifested by night reading from the screen of a mobile phone. The density is 200 pixels per inch. No light sensor . This indicates that the automatic brightness adjustment function of the screen does not work. The capacitive touch screen supports the ability to scale images with the "multitouch" and displays up to 16 million colors.

"Iron" and camera

As a hardware filling in the smartphone is built a chipset with four cores, which operate at a clock frequency of 1.3 gigahertz. If we talk about camera modules, the main one has a resolution of 13 megapixels.

Smartphone LG G3 Stylus, reviews about which appeared soon after the device on the international arena of mobile devices, makes stunning pictures, including thanks to the function of automatic focusing on the subject. For the owner of the phone, video shooting is available, and in case of insufficient illumination, an LED flash can be used.

With the front camera things are worse. Its resolution is 1.3 megapixels. To be honest, the smartphone LG G3 Stylus D690, reviews of which are available on the official website of the manufacturer, in this regard will be weaker than the same "Lumii 640". The company did not dare to please lovers of pictures of Selfi with a powerful module. Could raise at least up to 2 megapixels, but for some reason did not do it. A set of functions for cameras is quite standard. There are, as expected, digital zoom, geographical marks, but I'd like to highlight the optical stabilization from the entire list.

Communication and Interfaces

Phone LG G3 Stylus (reviews about it will be left subject to listed characteristics) has a good set of communication modules. Among them there is, for example, Wi-Fi, operating in three bands (b, g, n), and "Blutuz" of the fourth version. Navigation in space is carried out by means of GPS technology.

As expected, there is no infrared port . Using the microUSB standard port, the smartphone can be synchronized with a personal computer or laptop. To listen to music in computer headphones or a wired stereo headset, a special 3.5 mm format jack is provided.

Rest

The software includes a pre-installed media player for the corresponding files, analog radio. The case is represented by the form factor "monoblock", the keyboard is of the screen type. You can use it with the stylus. The sensor set includes a gyroscope and an accelerometer. The price of this phone is from 13 thousand rubles and more (depending on the modification).

Appearance

One of the best-selling color solutions of the model was the smartphone LG G3 Stylus D690 Black, reviews this fact only confirm. But what is the device in general, without looking at the color? At first glance, this is an absolute copy of the previous flagship, G3. Yes, it was with such an eye, the engineers and designers of the company acted, although there are certain differences between the two models. For the last generations of Korean devices, the cover of the front panel is characterized by the use of a protective glass. The insertion with the corporate logo is only available at the bottom.

Above we said that there are certain differences between the LG G3 and the G3 Stylus model. If we talk about them more specifically, we can pay attention to the rear covers of devices. At the object of our today's review, you will not find a window that answered in the previous flagship for using laser autofocus. In addition, if you look closely at the block of navigation keys, you will find certain differences there too.

Bottom end

There are interface connectors on it. This is a port of MicroUSB, which is used to synchronize the smartphone with a personal computer or laptop, and to charge the device. Also here there is a 3.5 mm jack, which is necessary to connect a wired stereo headset or computer headphones. The destination can be different - from listening to music and audio tracks in clips and movies right up to the possibility of using an analog radio. In the latter case, the headphones will play the role of an antenna, since the receiver completely refuses to work without them. Although this is not surprising.

Upper butt

Very interesting designers did this part of the phone. Here we can find a window that very many users take for the location of the infrared sensor. But the fact is that in this model of the phone it is simply missing. And this means that the window is an ordinary element of the decor, and it does not carry any functional load. Nearby nest, in which you can insert a stylus. By the way, on opposite ends there is one microphone, and they are almost on the same line.

Back panel

If you remove the back cover, there you can find connectors for installing SIM cards. As mentioned before, they are installed two pieces. Also there is a port for embedding an external drive. To do this, there is no need to pull the battery out, but the phone still has to be rebooted after these operations. Only after this the device will work stably.

More than once in their reviews, the owners of this phone said that even despite such a diagonal screen, the device is very convenient to use. What is the reason for this, because we are well aware that smartphones equipped with 5.5-inch displays, use one hand is problematic enough? In fact, everything is very simple. Engineers and designers managed to find the ideal dimensions of the case, which becomes clear at the first tactile contact.

Conclusion and feedback

Judging by official data, one of the best-selling was the smartphone LG G3 Stylus D690 Black. Reviews about this device make up almost 75 percent of the total. This is just the case when the classic color design really worked well, actually crossed out other variations. But what all the same can be distinguished in all models? What do people say about this phone?

Often, you can notice the words that nothing special in terms of technical characteristics of the device does not differ from its closest competitors. In this plan, there is no highlight as such. At the same time, it was noted more than once that even with ordinary characteristics, the smartphone turned out to be very pleasant to handle.

Among the main positive qualities are, for example, the material for the manufacture of the hull, which is characteristic of this flagship. Although the device does not pretend to be the most productive smartphone, its filling provides a smooth operation of the operating system, and applications open without friezes, even when using multitasking. This should also include a good basic camera. If you add support for two SIM cards, good battery life, then you can safely put a good rating.

The situation is complicated by the screen. Yes, 5.5 inches. Yes, with an IPS matrix. But one of the problems here is the resolution (I'd like to see a minimum of HD, and a maximum of Full HD, although this is the limit of dreams). The second drawback is the lack of a sensor that would allow you to adjust the brightness of the screen in automatic mode. However, the sane price, a good set of functions and a good hardware platform more than compensate for these shortcomings.
