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
With the G4 they aimed for refinement and taking what was already great about the G3 and making modest improvements. So if there were things that you thought were bland or blah on the G3, they may have been beefed up or remained the same. However you wo...

LG has emphasized that they took consumer requests into account when designing this newest flagship, and the effort seems to have worked. The camera is second to none for both hardware and software. It's essential to have a camera this fast and simple wh...

Abstract: When it comes to Android phones, software has always been a hit or miss game. Some devices ship with software experiences that are polished, refined and honed to near perfection. Others can come with software that leaves us shocked that anyone approved it...

Abstract: For a flagship phone, a lot rides on its design and hardware. When someone sees it or holds it for the first time, they make a snap judgement of the device. Every thought about the phone after that is colored by that initial impression, so it's important...
Amazing 5.5' display with truetolife colors. Top notch camera with DSLRlike controls and fast Autofocus. Ergonomic design makes the phone easy to grip. Clean user interface with welcome additions to Android. Super fast performance. Leather back finish is
If you don't go with the leather back plate option, the regular plastic back plate makes the phone look pretty ordinary looking
The LG G4 may not be a massive update over its predecessor, but the improvements it brings to the table help make the phone shine. Most importantly – everything we want in an Android phone can be found in the LG G4 – and that includes an amazing camer...

Abstract: Phablets, they're the perennial behemoths in the space. Just when we all thought they couldn't get any bigger, companies continue to push the envelope, trimming wherever they can find, to bring us even larger sized smartphones that we can try to fit in o...
Back to my original thought, the LG G3 was one of the best devices of last year and the G4 certainly continues this trend. However, while it is certainly a fantastic handset, it doesn't feel as premium as I had hoped. The slight spots of lag spoil what...
Abstract: Launched in May 2014, the LG G3 was LG's strongest effort against Samsung's Android dominance at the time. An impressive upgrade over its predecessor, the LG G2, it was a competent device with a bustling specs sheet and clever, understated design. Perhap...
Removable battery, Stellar camera performance, microSD expandable storage, Solid general performance, Fantastic battery life
Android skin sometimes gets in the way
LG's G4 feels like an Android phone, through and through. Over the years, Android has enabled those who wanted more flexibility to achieve exactly that. Tweaks to their home screen that Apple would never allow were possible on Android. The ability to swap...
