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
User replaceable battery, microSD card, Camera can capture RAW images, Improved front facing camera
Wireless charging is not built in
Do I recommend the LG G4 to an LG G3 owner like myself? No. Well, only no if there's nothing wrong with your G3. If it's on its last leg and you're ready for a new phone, then yes, buy the LG G4. Otherwise, I would just stick with the G3 for awhile longer...
If you want a device with a large screen, great camera, and rear buttons, buy it. If you'd prefer a smaller device with better battery life and a more traditional button layout, take a look at the HTC One M9 or Samsung Galaxy S6...

Abstract: LG has gone from an unskilled company clumsily creating poor smartphones to a company that now creates some of the best devices on the market. The change was quite recent, really taking off with 2014′s LG G3 , which marked the start of a new era for the c...

Abstract: In the past few years, the point-and-shoot camera market has taken a big hit. The drop in sales is due almost entirely to consumers replacing dedicated cameras with their smartphones. With a camera always in pocket, it becomes much easier to snap every mo...

The LG G4 is a great device and it performs well. But it has its occasional slowdowns and stutters that take away from the overarching experience. With such great features, the phone needs to be able to keep up, and if it stutters at the beginning of its...

Brilliant display, Good Battery Life, Great Camera, MicroSD Card support, Removeable battery and Good sounding speaker despite being rear mounted
Software could use some work, not on the most current version of Android, wireless charging requires optional case, Quick Charging isn't as fast as other devices that support it and plastic backs are meh and those wanting a premium metal feel won't get it
The TL;DR if you will, is if you're in the market for new smartphone the LG G4 is hard to be beat. With all-day battery life, a powerful camera, a great QHD display and buttery smooth performance you'll be hard pressed to find a better Android phone. With...
Abstract: For many people, the LG G4 was the surprise device of this year. The latest device in the G-range may have followed in the shadow of the release of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, but that does not mean LG were happy to let Samsung take all the glory...
Great design and build quality, Improved screen quality (better contrast ratio and maximum brightness), User-replaceable battery and detachable back cover, Supports fast charging (1 hour and 52 minutes from 0 to 100%), Fenomenal camera performance with to
Underwhelming battery life, Somehow impractical design or at least not as comfortable as last year's (overall bigger size), Unoptimized and heavy UI, Doesn't support wireless charging
For three years in a row, LG was able to differentiate themselves with flagships featuring unconventional design, big battery capacity, good screens and great camera performance. The G4 here is a worthy successor except some details that need a little imp...
Fantastic rear shooter, Great design and build quality, Display features sharp imaging, realistic colors, and deep contrast
Chipset is not what we would expect of a flagship, Imprecise screen brightness settings, Insufficient battery autonomy
LG's flagship phone should be the top pick for those that value smartphone cameras. Meanwhile, its modern design (especially the leather-clad version), ergonomics, and excellent display should appeal to everyone else. The aforementioned stitched leathe...
