my favorite thing about the LG G3 would be the quad core snapdragon 801 processor. im not that up to date on phone tech specs but a 2.5ghz quad core processor on a phone is just astounding to me, in addition to all the little trinkets they managed to squeeze onto such a small PCB. next thing u kno we`re gonna be swapping out CPUs like SIMs and SD cards. but in my opinion the 1440k LCD is putting unecessary load on the CPU/GPU which might be what`s contributing to it being a bit slower than the HTC one M8 even thou they are running on the same processor...bearing in mind that a few differences in OS stucture and motherboard layout and other unmentionable toys or trade secrets might cause a negligible difference in performance.
