LG undoubtedly got a lot of things right when creating the LG G3. The recently released flagship not only offers class leading specifications such as a 5.5″ QHD panel with an insanely high 534 ppi pixel density, but it also offers a significantly improved software experience compared to older LG devices. Much of this comes down to LG’s new UI design language.
It’s no secret that past iterations of LG’s custom UI (formerly known as Optimus) have been a bit less than stellar. Much of this stems from the gaudy use of shadows, gradients, and skeuomorphism–all of which lead to an incredibly cluttered and chintzy look. And even by LG’s own admission, this eventually caused “the essential user experience to be somewhat overlooked.”
Starting with the G3, LG hopes to change all of this with a much more minimal and flat user interface. This starts with simple, flat graphics with an emphasis on typography, and extends choice of colors and geometric shapes.
