 Hi guys, this is Vlad with The Verge and this right here is the LG G3. This is the brand new Android 4.4 handset that's been introduced as the company's 2014 flagship. And the thing that makes it different from all the other ones is this vast 5.5 inch display with Quad HD resolution 2560 by 1440 and extremely small bezels on the side. The LG says this is 76.7% display out here on the front, which is actually even better than the company's previous flagship, the G2, last year. That's one of the highlights. The other one is this metallic skin that LG has on the back. It's not actually metal, it's polycarbonate with a very thin layer, which LG says makes it extremely scratch resistant. Otherwise in terms of specs, you're kind of looking at a really standard configuration now, Snapdragon 801 processor, quad core, 2 or 3 gigabytes of RAM, 16 or 32 gigabytes of storage, and LG has a new simplified user interface. This is our first time with the device. There's a lot of Korean software on here, so it doesn't feel too simple immediately, but you can see some of these flipping and card animations that LG has added. And it's also made a big deal out of the circular motif, which comes from the company's logo, obviously. Another big highlight here is also the 13 megapixel camera that LG has. It actually uses laser autofocusing system now, and as you can see, a very simplified interface. So when you tap to focus, it captures at the same time. And once the capture is done, you can come up here in the top right corner for a preview and take a look at the image. And autofocus and performance with this camera seems to be extremely fast. LG claims it's the fastest in the world, with something like 276 milliseconds to focus and capture a picture, whereas everybody else is apparently about 300 milliseconds. The big new deal is this massive display, fast performance, laser autofocus on the camera, and this new metallic skin around here on the back.

 This is the brand new Android 4.4 handset that's been introduced as the company's 2014
 flagship.
 And the thing that makes it different from all the other ones is this vast 5.5 inch display
 with Quad HD resolution 2560 by 1440 and extremely small bezels on the side.
