Then, why do you find v.few people complaining about the 65-k color limitation in Android Gallery and Browser (for 2.1 devices,although some have been dithered to 16-million,which still is hardly true 16-mill colors)?
In fact, I'd wager that v.few people would notice any major difference. (All I'm saying is that, it is not a major issue for a majority of guys. In fact, before the tests were conducted, I hardly heard of anyone finding the gallery image quality to be low. And remember, we are talking about 65 k, not 262 K !!)
Color depth matters in images having various color shades, contrasts and saturation levels. For example, a pic of Sunset. You may not be able to tell much difference on the tiny phone screen, but on monitors, one can make out the faded color tones. The video quality will also suffer for the same reason. Since Human eye is capable of distinguishing at least 10m colors, 256k colors just won't cut it.

I aint talkin abt those new brands. I'm talkin abt brands that have established themselves serving many years, like Samsung, LG, Motorola, HTC.
My point is, LG MOBILE brand has yet to find acceptance here. On any given day in a mobile shop you will find tons more inquiries for Nokia, SE, Samsung..even Motorola than LG. Ask around your local shop to confirm this.
One also needs to check about community support regarding custom ROMS / Mods etc for lesser known brands.

I proved that by comparing one of the G3 user's (NainO) benchmarking results (which r the same as on GSMarena) with my LG GT540, which means the GPU of GT540 thrashes the GPU of G3 and it even kicks out many HTC phones, which also means that the O1 kicks G3's ass.
Indeed, GPU is all that matters anyways!

I'm not talkin abt just 3D games, but also abt other high-res games n everything related to Graphics.
EVERYTHING related to graphics? Like what?? Which day-to-day activities on a smartphone are gonna require such extensive use of a dedicated GPU that G3 fails to keep up with? Be specific without being vague.

I never knew icons were more important than Games !
I blame reading incomprehension.
niraj87 said:
Abt the Games, if Raging Thunder lags, then most of the Games will lag, since most of those 3D games are heavier than Raging Thunder.
As stated many times, Raging Thunder DOES NOT lag on my G3. One just needs to better manage the system resources.

Sir, an Android smartphone is supposed to be good in the Graphics department, while the multimedia capabilities can be found in non-smartphones too (which are non-Android based, like Samsung's Touch-Wiz, LG's S-Box class). There r so many such phones which provide great multimedia capabilities, but not all provide great GPU, in a price range of under 15k. LG and Samsung has loads of such phones Eg. LG Arena.
Even Nokia (for example, Nokia 5800) provides good multimedia capabilities, but nothing on the Graphics side, due to the limitation of the Symbian OS. That means an Android phone is supposed to do something great on the Graphics side, while music/video playback is something that all such phones do at a standard level (standard meaning mp4, xvid playback (though not 720x480), n good audio playback), now-a-days.
You say graphics is not 3D games only. Tell me, if G3's performance is ALREADY snappy due to 667Mhz processor and 256 MB RAM with all animations and effects enabled, what other 'graphics' aspects are you talking about?

The benchmarks n links were all of my LG Optimus GT540. O1 is far ahead. If u dont care abt these benchmarks results where G3 lacks, then u dont care abt G3 being a smartphone, coz u concentrate more on the multimedia capabilities than what a smartphone is meant for.
Uh. Do not twist my words to suit your meaning. A smartphone isn't only for multimedia and I never said so. I have just said that Samsung mobiles generally are considered to offer better multimedia performance.
niraj87 said:
In the end, I dont say G3 sucks. What I say is O1 is far ahead. I dont deny that G3 IS a smartphone, but u cant use G3's multimedia capabilities to defend G3 against O1, coz O1 is not far behind in the mutimedia department + O1 has all other specs better than that of G3.
But of course, I WILL say that a smartphone is indeed expected to have good multimedia capabilities and reportedly, O1 cannot play high-res vids. So much for the 'graphics' power and hi-res screen of O1 !!

Samsung galaxy 3 plays 720x480 video out of the box whereas lg optimus one can only play maximum 420x260 which is even lower than psp resolution. whats the point of having a big screen if it can't even play video of the same resolution lol.

Thnx Sam for the addition
Also do mention that G3+rooting != Warranty
And also mentioned that G3+UNrooting = Warranty back!
NainO said:
I thought both of these phones are low budget phones. And i know this isnt a psp vs phone tread.
But how come O1 performs better than G3(as far as i know both are phones)???
Moreover benchmarks results tells that O1 is better than G3 in many fields. Are the benchmarks result wrong???
They may not be wrong but they are inconsequential. They only prove how better O1 can play certain 3D games.
NainO said:
You are the one who is complaining about low colours of phone. Even phonearena is satisfied with this "low colours", who review every low end to high end phones!!!
Read my points above about color depth.
NainO said:
What about - higher resoltion, better 3g(more important than wifi n) and built quality???
How much PRACTICAL 3G speed difference have *you* experienced between O1 and G3? We have discussed other 2 points already.
NainO said:
You r talking like-
"Oh! I will go for PS3 and not for XBox 360. Sony is a better brand than Microsoft."
Illogical comparison. Both are super well-known and trusted brands. Therefore, its a matter of personal preference there.
NainO said:
Phonearena gave 7 pts to G3 and 8 to O1. They are in this field for a long time and dont need to lie. Do they???
Riight. ONE (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) point of difference does indeed make O1 TONS much better then G3. NOT. What about this thread where G3 gets 50% more votes than O1? Only you two guys are defending O1 here, that too without any first-hand usage.
