I’ve watched quite a few review videos on line and read many articles as well. How do you find the battery life? Any overheating or sluggishness? I read there were issues at first when moving from kitkat to LP on some G3s. This would be my first android phone. My brother has the S5 and really likes it.

I went from a HTC One+ that gave me 6-8 hours of battery life...and it was NOT replaceable. The G3 does have a replaceable battery if ever required.

My G3, under same operating criteria, gives me 24hrs easily. The large capacity 3000mA battery recharges VERY fast with the supplied charger.

When I went from KK to LP, there was an app that began draining the battery. After that app was updated, battery drain returned to normal 24+ hrs.

Finally, no overheating whatsoever although recharging does get slightly warm.

I can’t overemphasized the sleek factor with the beveled sides vs the clunky, squared edge of Samsung/Apple and all the others.

Hope that helps - good luck with your choice.
