LG G3 S: Battery Life Battery life is where the LG G3 S claws back some credibility. Smaller phones normally have smaller batteries, but that's not a worry here as the G3 S has a sizeable capacity 2,540mAh battery. This is considerably larger than either...

It might look similar, but in many ways the G3 S is a very different phone to the G3 that inspired it. It's a little smaller of course, but with its reduced resolution screen, less powerful processor and compromised camera, it's roughly half the phone i...

Fairly weak value, Lower screen res than rivals, Low internal storage...
The LG G3 S may look like the LG G3, but it offers much poorer value than LG's flagship. Relatively low screen resolution, limited storage, a low-end processor and at-best mid-range camera just don't stack up to the £240 price. At this point there are ju...

The LG G3 S is a very good-looking phone with specs and features that'll suit most users, but at £299 it doesn't weigh up too well with the similarly priced Nexus 5, which is actually also made by LG, which has a better processor, better display and simil...
