LG G4 review: Sharp and shooter

22 May 2015
Flagships get better with every generation but some of last year’s are as good as reborn. The LG G4 improves on the three best features of its predecessor: design, screen, the camera – and does so decisively. It adopts a G Flex curve, but makes...

I have always favored Sony and HTC for their uniqueness, designs, and useful features. However, this will be the first LG phone that I consider because it just beats the competition.

Pros:

. A removable battery with SD card extension.
. Premium leather material with the option to swap cover colors depending on your mood and style.
. Outstanding camera performance with full manual controls and RAW images! A thing that you mostly find on DSLR cameras.
. Compact phone size with a remarkable 5.5 IPS Quad HD screen!
. Skimmed android Skin, snappy performance, and great built quality.
. Reasonably priced.

I applaud LG for coming up with this beast, consider me a new fan!

      LG G4 is nice but S6 is better. Looking forward to the Note 5.

        With a bulky profile they still can't put IPxx and enough battery. This is terrible LG. Now your fans are trying hard to defend you, give them compensation for doing so.

            different reviews =different results.
            its a subjective matter
            plus g4 battery is swappable and you can get free extra battery for your g4 and its free.

                lg sucks, they cant make good phones their battery times are a joke, and their displays are worst in market too.. why would anyone buy g4 from g3 to get worse battery ? people that buy lg need to get their head examined...

                  Just found: The RAW format reveals the lens defects
                  Is that what a flagship should have?
                  See google for site.../image. LG thumb down.

                    its simple..if you compared G4 with S6/edge..than in my opinion G4 is the better choice although i,m using S4 right now.bigger and removable battery plus sd card with 2TB capacity..unique design .. only cons in my opinion is there software..which need improvement. otherwise its good option at least u don't have to charge your battery less than 24 hours.like S6 every 10-12 hours u need charger...

                          Anonymous, 24 May 2015Obviously it's because it's a flagship with last gens GPU a... moreok, but it is LG's flagship. LG does not have better then that.
                          yes Sammy have fagship with better spec, but Apple does not,as many others.
                          so you can't say SD808 is bad choise...it's better then last years SD801.
                          and if you really want to say that all phones without top of the range SoC have that as "disadvantage", well then you can say that to all phones exept S6. and that brings us to idea....they are doing that intentionally.
                          why cant we rade same "disadvantage" when reading about Sammy A7?
                          Alpha?
                          Iphone6?

                          no, only LG have "disadvantage" with less powerfool SoC, even if it is working good.

                          as i wrote before, i don't have any interest in this phone...it's to big for me, have bad battery, and to expensive (i woud rather buy some Meeizu,Xiaomi flagship for 1/2 price and go out to drink and enjoy for rest of that money), but it's funny to se how Samsungs marketing is working by BS copetitors

                            [deleted post]To some extent, the opposite is true: they expect too little. They want a shiny toy and don't care about the details.

                              Plus
                              Improved cameras and screen, better processor than G3, improved looks

                              Minus
                              Awful battery, bigger, thicker than G3, bigger bezels compared to G2.

                              For me G2 is the sweet spot. In normal terms just as fast as G4, good camera and much better battery life. Also it is pocket friendly, because G3 and G4 are much bigger and offer only 0,3 inch more screen

                              Plus Snapdragon 800 and 2 GB RAM can handle 1080p screen as good as Snapdragon 808 does with QHD

                                [deleted post]Expecting a better battery, brighter display, same size if diaplay size hasn't changed and either not making it thicker or make it thick with a bigger battery than its predecessor,.... all these are too much according to you? Really?
