Surprisingly LG G3 got a chance to taste __Lollipop__ at very early day. That proved LG commitment to the phone firmly. Although some could say that LG didn't have as heavy framework as Samsung did with TouchWiz, I didn't not see a thing missing when upgrading from KitKat to Lollipop either and that wasn't little IMHO. Indeed Lollipop on LG G3 wasn't vanilla and in my opinion that was the best thing for every Android manufacturers. I bought LG G3 for LG flavor of Android. If I wanted to have a pure AOSP, I would go to closest ROM like CyanogenMod or just take a Nexus route instead.

Customized home button was something extra people like me would appreciate. I couldn't count how many times I complained about back button on the right on Samsung or Oppo devices. LG just solved the problem in the simplest way--whatever layout user please.

If you had a love for ParanoidAndroid and its pie control, with G3, you could hide button for a bit bigger screen-estate too. It was app-specific though. You had to check which app you liked to hide button, then swiping up would bring buttons back on top. It wasn't as nice as ParanoidAndroid, but I didn't mind having options.

Another weird gimmick was flipping phone, picking up your phone for somthing and another repetitive stuffs like _T action_ I didn't even know what made that different from regular gesture which you didn't have to enable.

These above were things I thought could be useful, but sadly they were only a glimpse of useful stuffs. It just was not ready or well implemented for LG G3. The rest I hadn't mentioned was even more stupid honestly.

__Camera app__ was simple. It was quick to take a photo or video, but other than that it fell short. Focus was fast; faster than iPhone I would say although you couldn't adjust exposure or any extra thing. Photos were mostly good; however, comparing to iPhone's ones, LG G3 photos were sharpen a lot more and small details were lost too. At night, photos looked sorta good until you zoomed 100% that's where you saw everything had been processed too much and nothing was crisp. Yes, it was better than most and nothing at all.

If you were swiping in anyway, it switched back and forth between back and front camera. Some who always did selfie might like that, but surely that wasn't me. No way to turn that thing off. Hell.
