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

Superb build, Optional leather back cover, First rate camera, Very good, bright screen, Expandable storage, Removable battery, Modern connections standards supported
Voice quality, UI not always smooth, No wireless charging, Screen dims automatically when too warm, High power consumption
LG has developed a good premium smartphone with its G4. Opting for the somewhat weaker Snapdragon 808 cannot be criticized. Quite the contrary The smaller model of the Snapdragon 810 makes a very good impression. The device also convinces with one of the...
Sleek form, comfy to hold despite large size, excellent display, solid performance, respectable stamina, removable battery, Quick Charge support, capable camera, SD card support, includes two years of upgraded Google Drive storage
Bulky and awkward to carry in a pocket, less premium than other flagship phones, no frontfacing speakers, subpar software, no native wireless charging support, Quick Charge adapter not included with phone
The problem is that for most of us these days, smartphones are becoming more about the sum of their parts than the individual pieces. In order for a phone to move from being "fine" to "exceptional," it needs to offer something that goes beyond what everyo...
