![]() The LG4 lacks built-in wireless charging, requiring an optional case, and charges slower than many of the competition, but then you have to charge it half as much. I easily got two solid days of work out of the G4 on a single charge, with push email all day, many hundreds of push notifications, some streaming music and 20 or so camera snaps. Where the G4 has the edge is in battery life. ![]() Either way the G4 is snappy and responsive with no hint of lag or lack of performance.Ī side-by-side real-world test of the G4 against the Samsung Galaxy S6 showed very little difference in response to loading apps, playing games and navigating through menus. That could be to do with reported overheating issues in the 810. Typically, flagship smartphones use top-of-the-line processors, but the G4 is fitted with Qualcomm’s six-core Snapdragon 808, not the chip company’s most powerful Octacore 810. Looking at the specifications, LG has made a curious choice of processor for the G4. ![]() Connectivity: LTE, Wi-Fi ac, BT 4.1, NFCĮxpandable storage of up to 200GB via microSD and a large, removable battery are what sets the G4 apart from the competition.Camera: 16MP rear (F-stop 1.8), 8MP selfie-cam.Processor: Six-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 808.Screen: 5.5in quad HD (538ppi) “Quantum” display.For comparison, Samsung’s Galaxy S6 screen has a pixel density of 577ppi and Apple’s iPhone 6 Plus 401ppi. The screen itself is one of the best ever fitted to a smartphone, with very black blacks, true-to-life colours and a pixel density of 538 pixels per inch making it pin-sharp. The power button and volume buttons are hidden on the back underneath the camera, which I quite like. I didn’t put it to the test but, like its banana-shaped brother, the phone feels like it can take a knock or two. It also feels a bit cheap in the hand compared with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S6 or the iPhone 6 Plus.Ī very slight curve to the screen is unusual, and is meant to help the phone survive being dropped without smashing the screen. LG is not going to win any design awards for the G4’s looks. One version offers a leather back, although that’s not everyone’s cup of tea. A plain black face, thin bezels, a dark chromed plastic edge and a simple plastic back. Like most of LG’s other smartphones, the G4’s design is rather understated. ![]() The curve is subtle, but makes it less likely the screen will shatter when dropped on an edge, according to LG. ![]()
