Just a few short months after the release of the G2, LG is back with a brand-new flagship device. The G3 has been leaked more extensively than any other phone in recent memory, but the leaks don’t distract from what might be the best oversized Android smartphone ever made.

As with last year’s model, the LG G3 features top-of-the-line specifications. At 5.5 inches, the G3 towers over its competition, making a strong case for the ever-increasing size of the flagship smartphone. Inside, the G3 contains a quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.

It’s always good to keep up with fan communities online to get a sense of what they both like and dislike about changes made to their favorite products. Over the weekend, we spotted a couple of popular threads over at Reddit’s iPhone and Apple communities that gave voice to some minor grievances that iOS users have with some of the changes Apple has made to its mobile OS and we thought that they were worth highlighting to see if BGR-reading iPhone users had any similar impressions.

The LG G3 is now official and will be available in its home country starting with May 28th, after which it will be launched worldwide by more than 170 carriers. However, the company failed to mention any specific launch details for the U.S. or international markets, and did not confirm any prices for the two G3 versions that will be available to buyers. Even so, three of the main four U.S. carriers have announced plans to sell the handset, including AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile, without offering any particularly useful details.

%name Great news: You’ll be able to watch a live stream of Apple’s WWDC keynotes next week by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Here’s some great news for everyone who wasn’t invited to attend Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference this year: You can now watch at least some of it online. Apple announced on Tuesday that you’ll be able to watch its WWDC keynote speeches on your Mac as long as you have OS X 10.6 or later installed and Safari 4 installed; on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch if they run iOS 4.2 or later; on your Windows PC if it has Quicktime 7 installed; and through Apple TV as long as you have a second-generation or third-generation Apple TV. Apple is widely expected to unveil both iOS 8 and a new “smart home” platform at WWDC this year, although it likely won’t unveil a major new piece of hardware like the iPhone 6, an iPad Air sequel or its long-fabled “iWatch.” Instead, we’re likely to see something along the lines of Retina-equipped MacBook Air laptops, as Apple is saving its biggest new product launches for the fall.

Uh-oh. This is probably not the reaction Apple wants to see from iPhone fans about its upcoming flagship smartphone. Via 9to5Mac, a video posted recently by YouTube user UrAvgConsumer showed several iPhone fans reacting to an iPhone 6 mockup that accurately reflected both the look and the shape of Apple’s bigger smartphone. Some of the iPhone users interviewed unknowingly lobbed what can only be described as the worst insult imaginable at Apple engineers: That it looks more like a Galaxy S5 than a traditional iPhone.
