LG G4 hands-on: First look

28 April, 2015
The LG G4 emphasizes three things – design, display and camera. Its body is slightly curved and comes with an optional leather back, the display uses quantum dots for improved accuracy and the camera has a new lens with improved OIS...

    artkicz, 29 Apr 2015its design is simply FAIL in comparison to S6.Sometimes it is annoying to see Samtrolls' negative and sarcastic comments in other brand's posts. Don't them know how to respect others ?

        artkicz, 29 Apr 2015its design is simply FAIL in comparison to S6.Really?? When i first saw the g4 its design was amazing, and elegant and of course ORIGINAL, unlike the GS6 that has really weird design (you know protuding camera, iphone6 like sides) i think S6 would not be the phone you choose if you like showing off your phone in public cause if you do, people will laugh at your phone.

                      What is a flagship for ? why would you fork out the extra cash amount if all you look at is " daily usage ". There are a lot of very capable mid rangers out there to satisfy "daily usage" criteria at less than half the price.

                      When you go for a flagship, you expect the best of the best. I dont know how someone can side track a near 20000 difference in antutu 5 score saying its better in "daily usage" , and still be commenting on a tech site.

                      A benchmark is the standardized way of comparing which is well established and there cannot be any doubts left. I mean what is the alternative, youtube videos with a couple of phones and people pressing an app to see which one loads first.Or scrolling between home screens searching for more "fluidity" . Thats just ... I dont know what to say, unscientific maybe.

                      And the talk of performance not being noticed on a daily basis, well I would like to compare the south korean rivals in a couple of situations like
                      1. how the pixel crunching UHD display is handled while running a game like asphalt 8.
                      2. Shooting 4k videos, the time taken for processing.
                      3. Multitasking with say running a background file compression task and browsing on multiple tabs.
                      4. The random and sequential r/w speeds for the storage.

                      A lot of phones can be just phones which serve the "daily usage" criteria. However if one in not taking the magnifying glass out for Flaships, then I guess there is no meaning in pursuing the tech race.
