<\/a>It’s a big part of my every day life!<\/p><\/div>\n
A year ago, I got to test out two different smartphones along with with my existing one. \u00a0One of those phones was the LG G2. It was the one I selected to keep and use, giving away the rest. As luck would have it, a few months ago I dropped my G2 on the ground and it broke. \u00a0Yes, I dropped it and it broke; Of course, it never breaks when my kids drop it, go figure. I digress. \u00a0It was such an amazing phone that I didn’t want to settle for any of the other phones that I already owned. \u00a0That’s why I was thrilled to try out the new LG G3 phone. Overall, I love that it has all of the features that I previously enjoyed on the G2 but tons of new features as well. Here are some of my favourite aspects that I think most other parents could use and love as well.<\/p>\n
Camera<\/h3>\n
Picture Quality<\/span><\/p>\n I’m going to say it upfront. \u00a0A smartphone’s camera is ultimately my\u00a0key\u00a0decision factor when selecting a phone. \u00a0That’s how I ultimately choose to use the LG G2 over the other phones that I had. \u00a0I even gave away my other two smartphones because I knew that I wouldn’t use them due to\u00a0the camera quality. The camera’s 13 Megapixel sensor is almost as high as most digital cameras but just as amazing to the naked eye. \u00a0The phone’s camera comes with image stabilization and laser auto focus which is ideal for fast moving kids, which is exactly what I need for my constantly moving boys. You can take a picture much quicker on this phone compared to others to ensure you capture the moment. What parent wouldn’t love that feature?<\/p>\n One of my favourite family pictures taken on my LG G3<\/p><\/div>\n Selfies<\/span><\/p>\n If you love taking selfies (of you alone or with your kids), this is the camera for you. The screen illuminates, providing both a flash option (perfect for night shots or dark settings)\u00a0and a soft light for your face. Hello!!!….anyone for a flawless look at all times? Another great feature as part of the “selfie” mode is the ability to take a picture by the use of a hand gesture instead of actually touching the phone. \u00a0This is a total game changer! All you have to do is put up your hand until the camera detects it and a box appears on the screen and then make a fist to take a photo. \u00a0It’s so easy to use even my four year old son can do it!<\/p>\n Using the hand gesture to take a group selfie<\/p><\/div>\n The phone’s big (but not enormous), 5.5″ Quad HD display is perfect for viewing those quality pictures of your family. It’s also great for when my kids use the phone to play their games or watch their shows on.<\/p>\n The Smart Notice feature is a great new feature that provides you with some great information and tips to keep you organized and to help your phone’s longevity.\u00a0For example, an alert will pop up to let you know that rain is expected at night, so you might want to bring an umbrella with you. It also alerts you when your battery is low and reminds you to call back your missed calls. \u00a0Smart\u00a0cleaning\u00a0helps you clear up space on your phone by letting you know which apps haven’t been used in a while and recommending that you remove them.<\/p>\n Compared to most of the other android phones that I have used or tested in the past, I have to say that the LG G3 has one of the longest lasting batteries. \u00a0As mentioned above, my smartphone is my outlet to the outside world, so this is definitely important to me, especially when I’m on the road and rely on it for directions or to stay in touch with my husband, or to\u00a0take pictures of my kids to ensure I capture our fun times together.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>Screen size<\/h3>\n
