Going from the g4 to a newer 'flagship' device (s8) was one of the biggest downgrades in terms of camera image quality. The g4 packs quite a capable shooter. I've taken so many long exposure shots with it.

I am on my second one (2017-today). Still working fine, runs a bit hot in summer. The batteries tend to bloat after a year. Camera has a slow shutter, but photos are really good. Friends with new phones still get impressed with the photos. Headphone jack, classic micro-USB, FM Radio and IR Remote are nice to have. Never understood why the other companies eliminated them, and hiked up prices with no real innovation.
First one (2015-2017) died of bootloop, but I managed to revive it by deactivating the two big processors with software only.
Final verdict, want to switch to Samsung Galaxy S, but I MUST have headphone jack. No other option.
I will come back to give you updates.

Hopefully my used LG G4 H815 will last longer ever since I bought it on July 15 to replace/substitute my used Nokia N86 white, and also to be fitted companion for my LG V30+ ThinQ Raspberry Rose!!
That's why I put this word on my LG G4 locked screen that says, "임마누엘 †"

Had boot loop issue, fixed by LG (two weeks without phone). Getting IPHONE 8 after years of not drinking the cool-aid regarding all things Apple. My whole family has iphones, they just work better. LG G4 isn't good on voice calls (have to hold the phone practically in your mouth when speaking to be heard), camera is not that great, shutter really slow. All the hype was just that.

G4 is GREAT .... at First. But has the worst chipset! Never will I go back to buy LG Phones. Bad after sales service. Bad choice of chipset.

I bought this one a year ago. First I had problems with the battery not lasting a lot of time. For a 3100 Amh that it said, it looked more like a 1800 amh to me. The second problem was overheating. Also i had problems with charging. Then after eleven months and a half of usage it died from bootloop. I've been told that mos of the LG phones have bootlooping problems, so please don't buy from this brand anymore. 400 euros that I invested in this one didn't even last a year. I've moved on to a Samsung Galaxy C5 now. The only thing I would change on this one with the LG i had is the Camera, but for the other things I think this one is way better.

AnonD-124678, 27 Mar 2016Hii friends....I bought my LG G4 (H-818N) with too much exp... moreHi, Lot of people (nearly 10,000) got affected with LG phone models G4 (may be with LG G5 & LG G6), and it is referred to as BOOTLOOP hardware manufacturing issue from LG. Me too got affected with the same problem and now I'm in huge loss.
Whoever purchased LG G4 most of them are having manufacturing issue called BOOTLOOP issues just after purchase of 6 months to 1 year time, now LG ACTS like calling back all those mobiles for free service, but it IS NOT.
Hence we must never buy any costly mobile phones from LG instead it is good to go with Samsung or iPhone or any low cost Chinese phones in order to avoid huge money loss with LG. LG PHONES FROM G4 MODELS ARE BIT QUESTIONABLE AFTER 6 MONTHS TIME AND THEY ARE NEVER RELIABLE. There is no guarantee that LG would replace or repair it. Even LG repairs, it would be in doubt how long will it survive.
Important thing is: DO NOT GO WITH INTERNET REVIEWS FROM THE WEBSITES, For e.g. trustedreviews, techradar, pocket-lint, hdtvtest, whathifi who all may be good but they have not used the newly released models of smartphone at least for an 1 year, only the buyers got affected in this. I had gone through these websites before purchasing LG G4, but my money 300GBP (which is the cost of LG G4) is gone in just an year because of cheating fraud people like LG who released the LG G4 with manufacturing defect called BOOTLOOP.
I never say you do not buy LG smartphones, but be conscious for not to lose your hard earned money as LG smartphones like LG G4 (may be LG G5 or LG G6) is never trustable and they proved not only me, nearly 10,000 people who affected. Please go through websites for more evidences. LG looted customers money a lot on this.
