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
Impressive hardware specifications, Well priced, Great features, Simple and elegant menu system
No universal search
So LG has chosen the evolution route for the G4, then. It's a solid improvement on last year's phone, but probably doesn't present enough of a reason to upgrade if you have a G3 in your pocket already.That said, we are seriously impressed by the G4's came...

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
Though it feels too similar to last year's G3, the LG G4 is an excellent big-screen smartphone that will appeal to budding photographers, and has old-school features missing from rival flagships....
Great screen, best-in-class camera, microSD slot, latest version of Android, smooth performance
Plastic model feels cheap, average battery life
The LG G4 is undoubtedly among the best smartphones on the market today. We felt somewhat let down by the plastic design and average battery, but the gorgeous screen and impressive camera make it a worthy Galaxy S6 challenger, especially when its cheaper...

The LG G4 has heaps of positives going for it: from the leather finish options, excellent camera performance, through to the ultra-subtle curve and that bold, colour-packed 5.5-inch screen. Just because it doesn't opt for the most powerful processor...

Until a couple of years back, you wouldnt have given much thought to an LG handset. The status quo changed with the G2 and with the G4, LG are at the top of their game. Offering a phone with a removable battery, expandable storage and a camera and displa...
Bright screen with gorgeous contrast, Excellent camera performance, Shooting in RAW and Manual mode, Removable battery and MicroSD card slot, Leather battery cover rocks
Still made of plastic, UX features are a mixed bag, Battery life is average, Speaker quality is weak
There's no doubt the G4 is the best handset LG has made to date, not just because of the components, but also because of the thoughtfulness that went into it. Little things, like a brighter screen with better contrast, prettier interface, and useful soft...
LG has gone down an unexpected route with leather models which we like apart from a couple of colours. The so called ceramic model will be cheaper but feels cheap and plasticky. On the whole, hardware is once again strong - particularly the camera - but n...
Abstract: There's £100 between these gorgeous Quad HD Android phones , but how cheap does the LG G4 have to be to make you choose it over the spec-loaded, performance heavyweight that is the new Samsung Galaxy S6 ? We compare two of the best new phones of 2015 spec...
Camera launcher could be better, No QuickCharge technology, Jury is out on leather durability
LG G4 focuses on what everyone actually wants out of a smartphone, a great looking design, color rich display and the great camera for photos. It rivals Samsung's Galaxy S6 on all fronts, and is shaping up to be an 11th hour contender....
Abstract: The LG G4 has a stunning design and yet there are two options which give the phone radically different looks. The first is a premium back cover in metallic grey, gold or ceramic white with a textured hammered-array pattern, The second option is a back cov...
