LG G3 FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
Are you a planning to get a LG G3 or currently own one? Do you have any questions about it? Here’s Sydney CBD Repair Team answering those queries.
What are the variants of LG G3?
The variants of the device are firstly based on the color options, and then, you get two variants based on the storage and RAM. The processor too is said to be different based on the location, but in a particular region – you will these two storage options – 1. 16GB internal storage (2GB RAM) 2. 32GB internal storage (3GB RAM).
Does NFC drain my battery?
Similar to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, NFC can drain your battery if it is always enabled. To preserve battery life, ensure that NFC is turned off when it is not in use.
How do I turn NFC on or off?
Turn Near Field Communication (NFC) On or Off.
How do I share contacts, websites, and images?
Use Android Beam.
What is Knock Code?
Knock Code is a way to enhance the security of the phone by locking the screen and unlocking with the new way of pattern unlocking where the pattern isn’t something where you drag your finger over the dots, but tap on the screen in a particular set sequence. Earlier, LG used a unique way of screen unlocking called as Knock On, where just a couple taps were enough to wake the screen up, but now, that is added up with security, so that people tap in a sequence to unlock the screen. There are about 80000 possible combinations with the knocking pattern from two to eight taps as set by the user.
What is Laser Autofocus in the LG G3?
This was quite mysterious in the leaks, when there was something like a sensor just beside to the camera, and everyone wondered what it actually might be. That was the Laser autofocus, a first of its kind for any smartphone. The Laster Autofocus is something which enhances the way focusing is done by the camera of the device. The laser on the back of the phone measures the distance between the camera and the object instantly, and thus, the focusing becomes better than the normal autofocus. This helps not just in the bright conditions, but also in the dark where the laser would fix the distance and then the focusing is done. As claimed by the company, the focusing is instant and doesn’t take much time, and the demo showed that around the object was focused in 0.24 seconds.
What are the features of the LG G3 Camera?
LG has used a 13-megapixel BSI (back side illuminated) sensor camera on the rear side of the LG G3, and this comes with the Laser Autofocus as said above, and there is a Dual LED flash (White + Amber) which comes with two color lights to produce a natural color tone. There’s touch and shoot so that you don’t have to stick your hand on particular area to tap on the shutter icon and capture.
LG has made the OIS better to include the OIS+ system which was used in the LG G Pro 2, and here the floating lens is the same but the image processing system gets the enhancements to improve the performance of the capture and the quality of the picture. For the video recording, it would have been a surprise if LG didn’t include the 4K video capture capability in the G3 as most of the recent flagships come with that feature (although there hasn’t been any real good purpose for that), and even the G Pro 2 phablet has the 4K video recording capability.
What’s LG Smart Keyboard?
Another area of enhancement in the interface is the keyboard, which LG has improved in different ways – firstly, the size of the keyboard which can be adjusted according to the hand, and gesture typing where a word can be completed with simple gestures, and there is a Quick Move feature in the Smart Keyboard which would help in quick correction with a simple gesture.
What are the color options available for LG G3?
The LG G3 comes in five color options – Metallic Black, Silk White, Shine Gold, Moon Violet, Burgundy Red. The metallic black has the brushed metal appearance and it is made of polycarbonate material.
Can I enable the Guest Mode on LG G3?
Yes you can enable the guest mode in the G3, just like you could in the G Pro 2 (check out LG G Pro 2 tips), and it is a very handy feature for someone who wanted to take care of the privacy, and keep the personal files limited to himself and not open for everyone to see. The functioning is the same as in G Pro 2 and you will be able to enable the guest mode from the Settings section, where you have to set a separate pattern lock if you wanted someone to unlock the screen directly into the guest mode.
