Qhd display of G3 needs very strong muscles to run. Ive 3 GB version even i feel it's not sufficient.

3GB ram version is Korean and 2GB Ram is international. What specific F400 model you have?.

Check ram usage, when the phone lags. if its less than 90-95% used, its not ram problem. I believe there is something else causing lag. Display has link with GPU and battery, not with ram. Btw G3 has one of the best displays.

G3 - 540ppi.
Galaxy S5 - 432 ppi.
IPhone 6 - 326 ppi.
IPhone 6 plus - 401 ppi.
Note 4 - 515 ppi.
Note edge - 525 ppi.

Higher ppi is sharper and clearer screen.
And also mobile works fine?.

International is available in both 2 and 3 GB. I have F400L.May be this much high resolution causes phone to overheat and automatically underclock the cpu , end result is decreased performance and lag .I am running custom rom which has thermal throttle enabled It shuts off the phone after giving warning and that warning popup is quite often:( , but whatever the reason may it be , fact is G3 has inherent lag , lot of peoples have complained it on net and currently i am testing some mods posted on xda to get rid of lag.

No doubt QHD of G3 is matchless and laser focus camera beats it's rivals. Battery is good on lollipop i get around 5 hours plus OST.

Antutu benchmark result

These phones are American carrier models which have been used in America and then probably traded in for a new phone (?) and then brought here in baggage. Most shops give 7 days checking warranty, some give 3. S4 is available for around 21k, at least in karachi. Check the following Facebook pages:
Swift connections,
Phone4u,
Cell house,
Fonehouse.pk

So to simply put these are american used phones. Were these phones sold during warranty period or after warranty expiring?
How about the trust worthiness of these shops. Do they sell good stuff or anyone had bad experience too?

Can anyone give info about swift connections r they reliable means I visited their fb page and saw some phones as they import phones from UK and US so does they come with imei matching box and full accessories is there is risk in buying from them if u r in other city and after buying does this phone will give a any problem like battery timings as the phone is old and battery has fullen its life.

Great phone overall. Fix overheating and it will be great.

I hope you don't use any thick silicon type case or use phone while charging. They cause device to run hotter.

Check with cpu and battery temperature app. Cpu temperature range is usually 40-80C, but up to 60C is fine.

cleanmaster FAQ (screenshot attached) confirms overheating and lagging link.

Actually 2.5 Ghz Quadcore is not at par with Qhd display. Screen resolution is over demanding causing device to run hotter and this quick rise in temperature to 60?c force thermal throttle to underclock cpu to 1.5 Ghz. Ive installed modified thermald now first kick down of cpu is at 75?c and it is 2.2 Ghz initially. Ive read till 80?c thermal doesn't need to underclock (idk why LG put ut at 60 ? c) in short device is running nuch better now. I even turned off thermal throttle but that involves risk of blown up soc.

Oppo Find 7 vs LG G3. Both run same 2.5 Ghz Quadcore Krait 400, snapdragon 801, and Quad HD. They indicated heat up on G3 only. But Quad HD needs muscles to run, i agree. Use of lower brightness may help.

Keep these thermal things stock. Its to protect your phone. Read the battery from both sides. It's mentioned there that battery temperature upto 40C is acceptable and do not expose battery to high temperatures greater than 60C. Now you know the reason, that batteries may also explode at higher temperatures.

This is dual layered (soft+plastic) protective case, perfect for protection. But worst, when it comes to thermal conductivity (heat transfer ability). Don't use it, as you are already having overheating issue.

I used similar cases which overheated my S4 repeatedly and swelled the battery.

G3 has Corning gorilla glass 3 which is adequte for screen protection, but for extra protection, tempered glass protector be useful for front, rubber (soft) bumpers for sides and leave backside as it is for ventilation.

Bro battery temperature remains below 40?c , actually cpu temperature rises above 60. I have removed spigen slim armour and now using a simple transparent backcover and tempered glass protector.
Thanks for info and suggestions
