The editors didn't like
Plastic model feels cheap
Average battery life
The battery life is still too poor – what on Earth has Google done with Android to make Lollipop so thirsty on the power
I never
Ever got through a whole day on battery with the G4
No matter what I was doing
And quickly found myself topping up at 4PM
But the removable back brings its own disadvantages. The G4 is just rather plain and the leather options and different coloured back panels can only get you so far
I'm obsessed with smartphone speakers. Music is a massive part of my life and listening th
Screen
No fingerprint scanner
Slow OS updates
Camera launcher could be better
No QuickCharge technology
Jury is out on leather durability
Though the phone's battery life is adequate
It doesn't last as long as its competitors. There are no significant new software features and its design feels uninspired
Overly large
Missing features
Underpowered somewhat
Plastic backplate feels cheap
Hexa-core not octa-core processor
Quite similar to the G3
Nonleather finishes are underwhelming
Battery life could be better
Leather and plastic?
Poor battery life
Chunky design
No universal search
Battery life not great (much like G3)
Big for a phone (larger than G3)
LG UX interface feels over fussy
Plastic back panel looks a bit naff compared to leather option
Bit of a fingerprint magnet
Bigger and heavier than a lot of its peers
Lacks the quality feel of metal competitors
Disappointing battery life
Not as expensive-feeling as S6 or M9
Not quite the best battery life of them all
Middling battery life I Plastic back option not the best

Abstract: With only a few exceptions, this year has seen some very middle-of-the-road phone launches. The Samsung Galaxy S6 was quite a dramatic departure from previous models, but it was still doing its best to imitate Apple. The HTC One M9 is almost indistinguish...

Impressive camera, Unique leather design, Removable battery and external storage
Average battery life, Doesn't have the most powerful CPU, Awkward button placement
The leather case covering certainly helps the LG G4 stand out against expensive rivals. The G4 camera is one of the best we’ve tested and offers something for everyone from the selfi e lover to the more advanced photographer. It doesn’t have the stronges...

Abstract: The LG G4 has finally landed, taking plenty of inspiration from the curvy LG G Flex 2 and marrying it to the sensibilities of last year's top-notch flagship handset. The Quad HD display returns, but LG's boasting about its camera prowess this time around ...

From the pixel-dense display to the silicon processor housed inside, the LG G4 is a solid Android smartphone, one that won't disappoint you. If you're looking for a stellar camera and need that extra battery-swap utility, the G4 is the one you've been wai...
Excellent camera performance (especially HDR and low light); Removable battery; microSD card slot; Beautiful screen; Leather chassis; Speedy processor; 100GB free Google Drive stroage
Poor battery life; Plastic version feels cheap; Not quite as powerful on paper as rivals
Using the G4 has left me with mixed feelings. As a keen phone photographer, I'd happily carry this ahead of a high-end rival, and be confident that it could produce pleasing results in all sorts of conditions. The battery life may be weak, but the abilit...
