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...

Even for a compact 5.5" display, LG has already done it in G3. So tell me please, what is it in my wishlist that requires such an arrogant comment as yours?

          I wanted to like this phone, I have a G2 and I suppose I need to upgrade (although the G2 still works really well). But how can I upgrade when the G2 has a GSMArena battery rating of 82h (with KitKat), and the G4 has 54h ? It would be stupid. If you use it with a smartwatch, bluetooth always enabled, I don't think it lasts more than half a day.

They suck too, including in battery life, but are still better. CPU? Well, taht's a marketing gimmick for brainwashed consumers (And not users). With moe powerful cpu i can do exactly the same thing AND do it exactly the same way i will with the "weak" CPU from a year ago.
                The only thing that matters now with the CPUs is power consumption and heating. Well, that's exactly what current "high end" snapdragons suck at. MTKs, however, seem to be quite impressive, too bad the tandem industry+consumers is totally insane and lacking common sense.

And that was my point from the begining. You can only "use" your phone in standby. Does that mean the phone provides a week of battery life just because you can achieve a week? No, the worst case scenario counts.

                    I've seen the demo and i gotta say this is the hidden gem of the year, specially the camera, potentially the best, no doubt i will get one my self, haven't use a LG phone in years.

                              I don't think LCDs are meant for resolutions higher than 1080p on smartphones. It looks like amoled is the way to go 1080p +. Or everyone could be a bit reasonable and cap the resolution.

                                      And most phones that accept higher end sd cards will accept a 2tb one..... Years in the future when they are available. That's just lg doing some apple marketing to draw attention to themselves.

                                      And if removable battery and SD slot are the most important then even the Note 4 is much better. Technically even the S5 has done advantages
