LG G4 review [pictures + video]

LG G4

This is the latest model from the LG G series mobile phones. This model is marked H815 and is intended for the European market. It works with a micro-sim card and works on a 4G network. It appeared on the market in April this year, about a year after its predecessor, the G3 model.

In the package, in addition to the device itself, we also get a spare back cover for it, a 3000 mAh battery, charger, USB, and of course QuadBeat 3 headphones.

As for the specs, we have a few improvements over the G3, only the screen has stayed the same. So, it's that amazing QHD screen with a diagonal of 5.5 inches and a resolution of 1440 × 2560 pixels, which gives us some 538 PPI. Still, LG has made several improvements in terms of contrast and color over the G3. Gorilla Glass 3 is still in charge of protection.

As for the processor, we now have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 chipset, a quad-core 1.44 GHz, and a dual-core 1.82 GHz. Memory: 32GB internal and 3GB RAM. Of course, we can expand the memory with a microSD card up to 128GB.

The camera has several enhancements. Now it is a 16MP camera, and laser auto-focus and dual-led flash are still present. The camera, in addition to digital and optical image stabilization, HDR recording and imaging, recording with two cameras at the same time, stereo sound recording, also has a manual mode. So we can adjust almost everything manually! Something like professional cameras.

On the back, in addition to the camera, laser autofocus, and flash, we also have buttons to increase and decrease the volume, the button to turn on / off the screen and the device itself, and in the lower-left corner, there is a speaker. So, the layout remained the same as with the G3 model, only the shape of the buttons and the camera were slightly changed.

At the bottom we have a USB port, ie a charger, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a primary microphone, and above we have a secondary microphone as well as an IR blaster. Otherwise, the secondary microphone is used to reduce noise during calls as well as to record stereo sound.

On the front, in addition to the speakers for calls, we also have an 8MP camera, LED color lamp for notifications, proximity sensor, and other sensors.

That’s it as far as some major specs are concerned, and as far as software is concerned, all of this runs Android 5.1, but… LG will soon release an upgrade to Android 6.0 Marshmallow!

In addition to the great camera application with manual mode, LG has prepared other useful applications such as the To-do application, quick remote which is used to control remote devices using infrared, LG health which uses a built-in pedometer to count steps and can be connected and with other physical activity tracking devices, the unstoppable QuickMemo app for capturing quick notes, a weather app, and of course a widget with smart notifications.

And as for other accessories and sensors, we have here, as with the G3, NFC, wireless charging, but we also have fast charging. So we can charge the phone to 60 percent in just 30 minutes! This is the quick-charge 2.0 standard. Of the additional components, we have an accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor, digital compass, and barometer, which we did not have with the G3 model. And of course, there is stereo FM with RDS support, GPS with Glonass support for even greater precision, WiFi, and the ability to create Hotspots, Android Beam, SmartShare Beam, and Bluetooth 4.1 standard.

In short: LG G4

This is a great performance phone with an amazing screen and many accessories and features. It has NFC, wireless charging, and a removable 3000 mAh battery, all nicely packaged in a case with slightly curved side edges. The screen covers about 72% of the total surface of the device, which is another plus from the designer's side, so the phone sits nicely in your hand and doesn't look that big. Definitely another great model from the LG G series that will perform tasks even for the most demanding users.
