Anonymous, 29 Apr 2015Come on, do you guys prefer premium glass + metal which is ... moreYou said that gs6 is slippery cause its made of glass right!...so how many times you have droped a glass of water or a pint of beer? And What so big deal with a smartphone with a back cover in leather...i can buy a cover for any smartphone in leather on ebay but the problem is that they start to smell after a couple of months due to coffi spilages and other liquids...but looking at the phone specs you can tell that its not going to be nothing especial nothing compare to the super amoled QHD of sgs6 and the edge :) so my friend your point isnt valid

Im using a g3 and its a gud phone with good performance and camera for very decent price now. The g4 will be better in performance and camera. So far so gud, the design is fine bit i also dont understand why it has to be brighter an taller instead of shrinking it a bit what is possible with same screen size and battery. And that the point for me. Battery life online onscreen time is simply poor and never brings me trough a day. I dont know what they mean by day ise but my day is from 7 to 22 Which is not possible without backup. So the 20 % better battery life to a g3 what lg is promising is simply poor too. They are asking almost the double price for an in average 40% improved device.(this is how i understand their adverts). We will see but if the g4 cant hit the 10 hours web browsing time, then its a failure for me. I guess most users dont talk 25 hours with one load or keep their phone for days on standby. Look around everyone is chatting browsing gaming, and this is online onscreen time what a flagship has to deliver.

yes i think im not a power user, because i get a smartphone to help me doing my daily tasks, not to compare the hardware of the other phones. and, a flagship will be the best choice for me.

I'm disappointed in the single loudspeaker. The one on the G3 was such bad quality that even ringtones sounded awful. Also, the G4 has that Mcaffee spyware installed again, you can't uninstall it. I also don't really like the rounded top and bottom design. LG are not going the right direction- the G2 is still by far the best phone they've ever done.

AnonD-390890, 30 Apr 2015Well this isnt totally for tech nerd...
Just... well, does... more1. htc m9 ??!! Its a big fail to even bring that up. It is running with the flawed 810 . Why do you think LG went with the 808. So dude you contradict yourself.
2. As for your opening app test, what can I say. If you consider that as the standard of testing, so be it. Just think can you even get two touches with both your hands at the exact same time, well the probability of that happening is really very very low. I hope you appreciate that.
3. What you consider as multitasking I frankly dont know. But in the scenarios that I mentioned in my previous comment, the gs6 clearly comes out way and above the m9. I have tested them myself.
4. If you are not a power user, or dont expect the maximum out of your flagship then so be it. But dont focus on preaching that the tech nerds are all wrong and a simple "daily usage" criteria and maybe looks is good enough for a flagship.

Less than 50,000 in AnTuTu? Will not buy. A 2015 Tier-1 flagship should score no less than 65,000 (which itself is less than decent actually, 70,000 being the norm).
This phone is a joke performance and muscle wise.

This will be the best phone of 2015 even when the note 5 lands..Nothing can beat what LG has come up with, whether you people like it or not, LG is innovative, hate their plastic build all u want, lg has made metal phones in the past..they will do it again with their next flagship, they brought the laser autofocus, the most innovative of the many camera UI features available on a smartphone that both a novice and a pro can understand, a colour spectrum sensor, a quantum IPS display, first in a phone, best OIS available at the moment, high-end camera sensor, F/1.8 aperture lens first on a phone too

Too many people rely on qualcomm.
When they miss their mark, all android suffers. Samsung did a good move to side track this..
This year android become junks.

AnonD-312360, 29 Apr 2015What is a flagship for ? why would you fork out the extra c... moreWell this isnt totally for tech nerd...
Just... well, does your scientific benchmark really matter in your life?
The opening app test to show which phone loads faster is much more reliable, as you buy a flagship to use it better than the mid ranger phone, not to stare at your phone and say "you're the best hardware in market honey"...
Even m9 wins over the gs6 in that load app test, so what is the top hardware for?
Lets say, if you have two flagships, phone A is the top benchmark scorer, and phone B,has blazing fast multi tasking, faster than phone A. which one will you choose as your daily life phone?
As i said, when the companies try to make it simplier, some of "tech" guys like you are just making it more complicated :)

I just looked at the photo samples, they are good, but look at the noises. Jeez! I am talking about the daylight shots, forget the night shots. I hope the actual unit will have a polished firmware, as this mainly looks software related.
