    Copy/Paste from another user, but I also want to ask the exact question. "Dear GSMARENA Team, editor,etc. Since LG G4 is the first phone that powered by a QS808 chipset, will you guys figure out whether the heating issues of the flagship QS810 remains or had been remedied? Please update via the upcoming LG G4 Review. Looking forward to LG G4 Review and cheers!"

      And the 808 still throttles. Just not as much.

          Is it really important to compare one phone to another that has only a fractions of seconds faster than others..? After applications loaded, everything is slowing down and that's the real performance you get from the phone.

              And its back camera is actually a tad better in daylight. And video and audio recording as well.
              G4 is better in focus and night shots.
              Performance in snapdragon versions is similar with G4 being better in CPU.
              The exynos Note 4 has much better SoC and audio chip.
              The Note 4 has better battery life period. And charges faster.
              It also retains the removable battery and SD slot.
              It looks great. Which you think looks better is preference. Many will prefer the Note. Lots will like G4.
              Speaker is about same volume with Note 4 probably having more range.
              Note has the spen and more advanced and secure software. And smaung gives way more in updates.

                          Hey GSMArena , guys, please don't forget to check whether there is any battery saving or extensive POWER SAVING mode in LG G4 or not? Just like the one in Smasung Galaxy S6 and S5. Please do check this. Also please do a real test of how this phone's ear piece call quality is? That's something rerally important to me. Will I be asking for too much if you could check how much it consumes its battery on simple texting (custom mobile SMS app)?

                              AnonD-376503, 08 May 2015For me, the debate is also between these 2 phones. Samsung ... morego for g4 better design real leather and many colors to choose from
                              the screen is better and a bit curved which is more comfortable to hold and better to watching movie

                              the size of the phone is more compact or should i say its perfect not too small not too large.


                              camera is better on g4( day and night )
                              most especially the 8mp selfie front camera which is very useful now a day

                              snapdragon 808 is still slightly better and smoother than 805

                              LG G4 4.0 UX is really fantastic and useful.

                              speaker and audio on g4 is better and louder

                              note4 is now older phone g4 is still in the hot seat center of attentions and lg will take good care of it.

                                The price is almost the same for both, for me at least.

                                Performance seems slightly better in the N4, and it has the pen, something which I like even if I might not use it often.

                                But the G4 seems to have a better camera (very important issue to me, since I'll be replacing a Nokia 808PV), and the G4 just looks so much better... It looks inspiring, and the N4 looks just boring.

                                I'm still kind of undecided, mostly because of the S-Pen on the N4.
