LG and Samsung are both based on Korea, Samsung Galaxy S5 was released in April this year, and LG G3 was just released this month. However, LG G3 is outselling the Galaxy S5 on its home market in Korea.
Taking advantage of the trouble-ridden launch of the Samsung Galaxy S5 in South Korea, the LG G3 managed to outsell its rival by a whopping 3 to 1 ratio in the first few days of its availability. According to Korean sources the Galaxy S5 sales over that period were in the 7,000 to 8,000 range, while the G3 ships 25,000 to 30,000 units each day.
The fact that Korean carriers had to launch the Galaxy S5 ahead of schedule and before the promo campaign started due to the impending ban was certainly part of the explanation. Yet, the novel body of the LG G3 which is basically a plastic that feels like metal, and its QHD screen with super-slim bezels have certainly helped a lot too.
LG G3 is ready to hit the European stores, UK will be the first to get the device in stock by early July, rest of Europe will get it by the end of July. Clove UK is already started accepting pre-orders for the LG G3 for the 16GB Storage / 2GB Ram variant for £500 in Metallic Black or Shine Gold.
Clove says orders will hopefully ship by July 1st. QuickCircle cases will be available soon too, in a range of colors. MobileFun UK is taking pre-orders for the black and gold versions at £500 / €615, stock is due in a month.
LG G3 was just announced today with a 5.5" QHD display and many other new features offered for the first time on an LG flagship device. The device will be hitting South Korea tomorrow, while the rest of the world will get in in the next couple of weeks.

The LG G3 features a 5.5" True HD-IPS+ LCD display with a QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution. This results in the eye-watering (in a good sense) pixel density of 534 pixels per inch. The company states that there really is a difference when looking at the display this sharp and that the Retina display wasn't even close to the final frontier, as the Steve Jobs claimed.
Inside the LG G3, there's a Snapdragon 801 (MSM8975AC) chipset with a 2.5GHz quad-core Krait 400 processor and Adreno 330 GPU. The version of the G3 with 16GB of internal memory sports 2GB of RAM, while the 32GB model has 3GB of RAM. Both versions will pack microSD card slots supporting up to 128GB cards. On the connectivity side, there's Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, NFC and an IR blaster.
LG continues the trend set by the G2 with rear-mounted volume controls and Power/Lock and has refined them a bit. On top of them is the main camera, which sports a 13MP sensor with OIS. Next to it is a dual-LED flash, while on the left LG has fitted a special laser that measures distance and speeds up autofocus. In addition the company has also implemented phase detection autofocus for ultra fast 276ms focusing. More info about the LG G3 in the link below.
