07 May 2015
LG G4 takes the manufacturer’s smartphone game up a notch. In addition to being the hardware powerhouse we’ve come to expect from an LG flagship smartphone, the gently curved device adds a touch of bona fide luxury to its arsenal via optional...

I just dont get GSM Arena, someone who prefers expandable memory or removable battery is a power user, really?? These features have always been in phones since a long time ago, ever since stupid apple came in with their silly policies they make it out its the right thing, well it isnt!

    Anonymous, 08 May 2015Um the Note 4, S6, and even the S5 "especially LTE-A Q... moreYeah, I know that, I have a Note 3 but this display is more than good to me, so I can realise how the Note 4 and S6 displays are.

    But still, GSMArena said that this could well be the best display put to a mobile phone and for that I will wait for the full review, to see whether it is truly the best display out there or not. I will wait for DisplayMate's comment on this display too.

            Anonymous, 07 May 2015g4 has better battery life according to majority reviews No...Most places are not showing it having bigger battery results.
            And if the G4 had the Exynos you would be saying that a different way.

              Some are always bragging how good performance S6 has over G4, but they don't know the S6's ugly back (pop camera) and non removable battery and no Sd slot makes it overall inferior to G4. What most customers care is not how good performance a phone has, but how they feel when they first see this phone. Only few performance seekers would talk the performance figures all day long.

                  I love how because a company states something as new technology everyone starts drooling....QUANTUM DOT TECHNOLOGY! Now where have I heard that before...I remember now, SONY used to trumpet this in tandem with the Xperia Series and Triluminous Displays. Sony's screens were good even great, save for viewing issues on the Z & Z1, addressed with the Z2 & Z3! Quantum Dot Technology is not new. There were issues with the G3, I owned one so am speaking from a position of first hand knowledge but I have to say, having seen the screen on the S6, it will take some beating. Let's wait for this phone to land and then see...!

                    Iskander, 07 May 2015Samsungs Exynos 7420 may win if you need all 4 high perform... moreCute attempt...Except the Exynos is more powerful, more power efficient, and will throttle less than any of the other current Snapdragons.
                    The camera is only a little better in focus and low light.
                    And burn in as a vastly over exaggerated claim. I could say your IPS will get dead pixels or have severely uneven light.

                                just waiting for Gsmarena battery test for the g4

                                some reviews like The verge, IBT, Recumbo,Endgadget say G4 did better than s3 in the battery performance.

                                some Androidauthority and pocketnow
                                said g4 has very good battery


                                only Phonearena say g4 is weaker battery even weaker than g3.

                                    IT FUNNY LG G4'Snapdragon808 BEATS HTC M9'Snapdragon 810 IN SOME BENCHMARK TESTS.


                                    How the Snapdragon perform in real life?

                                    It is important to note, that we didn't experience any hiccups while using the smartphone in real life - LG G4 felt snappy and ultra-responsive regardless of the task we threw at it. High-end gaming wasn't an issue either - LG G4 ran Dead Trigger 2 and Real Racing 3 without breaking a sweat.

                                      The display could well be the best..........


                                      I will keenly wait for the review, if this display is really the best and the camera is that good (which to my eyes is, more or less) then I will jump the gun to LG from Samsung.

                                        Iskander, 07 May 2015Samsungs Exynos 7420 may win if you need all 4 high perform... moreDon't make imaginary comments. There is no such thing as burn in latest generation AMOLED panels.

                                        No one uses a phone for more than 4-5 years, and that too if one is really stubborn to use an old phone.

                                        Long term usage, LOL
