7. Android KitKat and a facelift
The G2’s user interface was cluttered and manic, with far too much going on and a colour scheme reminiscent of carnival time in Rio. Thankfully, LG’s designers have opted for a “less is more” approach this time round, with the G3 offering a flatter, simpler interface laid over the top of Android KitKat. New LG-made apps like Smart Clean, which urges you to delete software you don’t use, and Smart Notice (essentially LG’s take on Google Now), sound genuinely useful, and bloatware has been cut down so that a new 16GB G3 will have 12GB of free space (the G2 had only 10GB).
