    Anonymous, 19 Apr 2015This lg g4 doesnt look better than lg g3. If lg g4 have met... moreHave you held an s6? Not so pretty in person but it is all preference I guess. I'm hoping Sony slims down their bezels especially at the top and bottom. This is one are Samsung hasn't done well in either. Top and bottom bezels on the s6 are quite large. Sure its quite thin but it makes it uncomfortable to hold. The massively protruding camera is also a turn off. Honestly "style" doesnt matter nearly as much as comfort, weight, and performance (screen, battery, camera, speed). Small bezels increases one handed comfort while actually navigating though a phone with a large screen where thinness decreases one handed comfort...

      Count me LG i will buy G4 and many more friends of mine here in the Philippines will buy G4. Because its truly beautiful and class phone. I miss my lg secret.....


      LG G3 is selling good in the Philippines G3 put LG mobile in top2 Global smartphone brand with most sold units here in the Philippines samsung is still the top1.

      In local re branded phone makers Starmobile is the top1 followed by Cherry Mobile and Trque....

      Mabuhay LG and Congratulations for your success......
      Proud G3 and L90 user ....

        My S4 is dying. Waiting and hoping G4 is up to the task. Other hi-end phones (S6 and M9) now emulate apple and don't have a replaceable battery.
        Want new phone because they will also have features like:
        1. Will operate on new freq. TMobile U.S. is putting into operation this year.
        2. Will have induction (cordless) charging -- which I think LG has had for one or two generations.
        3. Will have OIS camera feature - which LG has also had. I have a hand tremor and hopfully that feature will help.
        4. Since LG still has a SD card - don't need to pay big money for a phone w. extra fixed memory. This isn't as necessary as having the ability to change battery.

            The author states in this news item that a concern is the decision NOT to use the 810 chipset. Given the heating issues associated with the chipset, it would have been a greater concern if LG HAD decided to use the 810. I mean maybe LG had a reason why they decided NOT to use the 810? Maybe they weighed the pros and the cons? Just maybe?

              none of that matters. the G4 will be a better phone than any other phone on the market.

                thenerd, 19 Apr 2015The Screen Panel on the Note 4 was regarded as the best pan... moreYes, they were impressed that you can turn of the over saturated color scheme that has been plaguing Samsungs OLED screens for many years. Other than that, it does well what OLEDs do well and lags behind on what LEDs do well, which lag behind on what OLEDs do well.

                As I said, the Note 4 does not have a bad panel, it just isn't all magic either. Yeah, it got compared to the IPS panel in the LG G3, which by all means is quite worse (eventhough not bad) than the G2 of one year prior. As mentioned before as well, all the gawking at the latest iPhone screens shows as well what LG is capable of, screen-wise, as they are top tier supplier of the panels in the iPhone 6(Plus).

                    LG 's target of 10 million g3s were achived. So its indeed a success for lg.

                      its a failure for the high expectation

                      while lg increased its profits and sales.
                      it a indeed successful for lg's target 10 million units of g3.

                        AnonD-387016, 19 Apr 2015The S5 solds around 12mil in 3months and is considered has ... moreBecause Samsung manufactured much more than 12 million S5s in those 3 months and expected to sell all of those. And Samsung ended up with huge number of unsold S5s and had to reduce the price significantly to be able to sell them. LG is not going to be foolish enough to do that. So LG G4 can still be a success while S6/S6 edge can still be failures, depending on % of manufactured units sold.

                                    See 10 million units in just lesthan 10 months since it was started released outside South Korean markets (Worldwide)
                                    That was in July 2014.

                                    Kudos LG!

                                    G4 and G4 note will difenitely do better.
