Our LG G3 finally arrived today and we are delighted to have here at TBI headquarters.
This device is the best on offer from LG and LG have really upped their game in the last two years,the G2 was the previous version and have really given LG a good name in the premium end of things now with these two devices,albeit LG is not a major brand here in Ireland when it comes to smartphones the G3 has set some high standards and it is a pity no networks have taken this device on board into their device portfolio but maybe they might change their mind but by the time this happens the G4 will probably be announced.Ireland still lag behind our EU counterparts for handset choice in general which has lead many people to import good high end and mid tier devices networks choose to ignore or perhaps its a case of the manufacturers themselves not selecting Ireland to sell such devices.
The LG G3 comes with some new features such as a 1 watt speaker at the rear,laser focus and the unusual placement of the volume key and power key which will take a bit to get custom to from the regular placement on devices today.On board the G3 is 5.5 inch screen with Quad HD,a Snapdragon 801 chipset,Quad-core 2.5 GHz Krait 400 CPU,13 MP OIS dual flash camera and a nice 3000 mAh battery.We also have Knock Code on the device too.Device memory depends on spec,16 GB comes with 2 GB RAM and the 32 GB comes with 3 GB RAM.
We have 1440 x 2560 pixels, 534 ppi pixel density which looks great and the device has Corning Gorrila Glass 3.
You may notice a little laugh during the video but i like to keep things real so excuse that.

Probably some of some of you haven’t knew that about a year ago Samsung released the Galaxy Golden. A flip style phone that combined the best of both worlds, that never made it beyond Asian market.
The Galaxy Golden
Apparently, the phone did quite well there because as a recent user guide leak shows that Samsung will probably be launching a successor any time soon.
The Galaxy Golden 2
Our youngest readers probably look this phone as the weirdest thing ever. But the flip phones was one the greatest thing to had back then.
Unlike the previous model (which was pretty mid-range), this it’s a remastered high-end version.
It comes with Two 4.6” displays with 1280 x 768 resolution (one outside and other hidden against the keypad), a Snapdragon 801 quad-core Krait 400 at 2.5 GHz running Android 4.4, 2GB of RAM, an Adreno 330 GPU and 16mp rear camera (4K capable) with a pretty good 2mp front facing camera.
The Two Screens of the Phone
We still not have any information for the battery or the internal memory capacity.
The phone will be launching in China, through China Telecom and as usual in that market will come with two micro SIM card slots.
So there you have it, a phone that is still unknow if we’ll see outside the Asian market. But let us know in the comments if you will be interested in one if it surpass that barrier.
The iPhone 6 plus is a pretty big phone with a pretty big price tag so protection is vital and cases for the 6 plus even today are hard to come by from have seen from local stores,most cases are available on-line so have to be imported,one thing that needs looking into here is the availability of cases on the same day as launch but this seems to be still an issue to some extent over a wide variety of devices..
Thanks to Noreve we have been sent our custom case for the iPhone 6 the colour is Red which is not my preference but looks nice to be fair..
1 / 11
Overall the case does offer us maximum protection if this flip style suits you,personally im not a fan of flip cases and prefer gel or just covers that surround the back and edges,those cases do offer less bulk than conventional flip or fold cases,this case did not add much bulk to the already big bulky phone so it was comfortable to use and felt fine in hand.
All ports on the device where easily accessible as seen in video,this is important some cases tend to get in the way of can be troublesome this would be mainly for cheap cases but not higher priced ones from well know case makers,thankfully Noreve has never has this problem with any case we have had from them and quality has always been great to say the least.
Noreve always have excellent packaging and presentation with their cases and its a great credit to them for the consistency here also what makes Noreve stand out is its options to the consumer to personalise their case to suit ones preference.

Besides all this awesome features something that gamers will love it’s tha aditional joypad that can be used for gaming all your android games on the bigger screen.
The aditional ASUS Joypad

Also they claim that 15 mins charging will give you 6 hours of use which is quite impressive but yet to be tested in the real world.this surely is a good feature to have and working from new turbo charging technology.
