LG G3 Sales Off To A Good Start, Outselling Samsung Galaxy S5 3-to-1
The LG G3 won’t release in the U.S. until summer, but reports out of Korea indicate that the smartphone is already selling well overseas.

ETNews reports that the LG G3 is so popular in South Korea that it is outselling the Samsung Galaxy S5 3-to-1. Supposed sales figures indicate that the LG G3 is selling at a rate of 25,000 to 30,000 units daily since it launched on May 28. In comparison, reports indicate the Samsung Galaxy S5 sold between 7,000 and 8,000 units daily when it launched in South Korea on March 27. Both companies are based in South Korea.

The LG G3's many updated features are likely what's attracting customers. The new flagship by LG Electronics (066570: Korea SE) is the first mass-marketed smartphone to feature a Quad HD (2560x1400) display. Additionally, one version of the LG G3 features 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.

Notably, the Samsung Galaxy S5 released on several major mobile networks in South Korea two weeks before its global launch on April 11. Carriers including SK Telecon, KT and LG Uplus tried to preempt a sales ban set in place by Korean officials that would have prevented them from offering the Galaxy S5 to new customers when it officially became available to the public. Despite the sales ban, the new flagship by Samsung Electronics Co. (KRX:005930) went on to sell over 10 million units worldwide during its first month on the market.

U.S. mobile networks including AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T), Sprint Co. (NYSE: S), Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ) and T-Mobile have all confirmed that they will begin offering the LG G3 in the summer. Sprint in particular says the LG G3 will be available starting in July.

Dropping July 17th

http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/06/11/lg-g3-release-date-price-details-emerge/

The LG G3 release date in the United States has been a mystery after all four major carriers confirmed their plans to offer the device, yet didn’t share any details on when or for how much. And while we’ve been following leaks and rumors for months regarding what to expect, today LG G3 release date details are finally starting to firm up.

With the Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8 both already available, consumers have been hungry for more details surrounding the highly impressive LG G3 since being announced last month, and now we have a better idea of when to expect the Verizon variant stateside.

According to a newly leaked screenshot provided by the always helpful @evleaks the LG G3 release date in the United States is July 17th on Verizon Wireless, with pre-orders starting seven days earlier on July 10th.

Typically Verizon asks the usual $199 with a new 2-year contract for new flagship devices, which is most likely what we can expect to be offered when the LG G3 officially gets released next month. According to the leak you’ll be able to reserve your own with pre-orders starting on the 10th, and then in-store availability will expand on the 17th of July.

As a refresher, the LG G3 packs some of the most impressive features and specs we’ve seen in a smartphone so far in 2014. Delivering a 5.5-inch 2560 x 1440 Quad HD display, a new 2.5 GHz Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, as well as a micro-SD slot for expansion.

Of course the buttons are still on the back and have been redesigned to be more useful, comfortable, and ergonomic. Then the other highlight is the improved 13 megapixel Optical Image Stabilization + camera with an all-new laser auto focus technology usually reserved for full-scale DSLR cameras. The LG G3 has a large 3,000 mAh battery, and runs on Android 4.4.2 KitKat with a few software tweaks and smart actions provided by LG.

So what about other carriers in the United States? So far Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint have all confirmed they’ll offer the device, but this is the first concrete details regarding when it could arrive. The original LG Optimus G and LG G2 both arrived first on AT&T, then other carriers, so we could expect something similar to happen this year as well. That being said, no evidence supports that thus far. A T-Mobile giveaway for the device ends at the end of June, which could be due to the device going on sale, but that’s only a guess.

Back in March LG promised its new flagship smartphone would be available globally before the end of June, which was good news, but may not actually be the case. With no details from any carriers a third of the way through June, things aren’t looking good unless official announcements are made this week.

Consumers looking to get their hands on the LG G3 may have to wait well into the second or third week of July before picking up this handset, and we’ll update the moment we know more. A few leaks suggested July 25th for the Sprint model, but again, that is only speculation based on previous leaks.

Expect all four carriers to start making LG G3 release date announcements soon.

4-5 hours screen on time.

the standby battery life is ridiculous. if you don't use the phone, it might dip 1% over a couple hours.
