Buy a 4500+ extended battery, get the folio circle view case (which DOES support wireless charging), add the Google launcher + stock icon pack and besides the rear-firing speaker... this phone is PERFECT.
The battery life doesn't bother me, I can't do any more phones with sealed batteries so I'll pick this up and have a spare battery or two with me when I know I'll need it. Back to full charge in 5 seconds, don't need rapid charging in that situation.
What a beast! This will be my next phone for sure. Not a huge jump from my LGG3, and I'll miss the wireless charging, but looks to be an amazing new device. My friend who has a GS6 Edge said the battery life is terrible and he's thinking about trading it in fto the G4. Just an FYI that if battery life is important to you this is probably the best phone for you, as you can carry spare batteries to get you through the day(s) (Note 4 as well if you want to go bigger).
Having expandable memory and removable battery on the lg G4 and on the other hand Samsung s6 is not water proof along with non expandable memory which were great point in samsung's favour now adds up as positive points for LG.
Coming from someone who has a M8 who's looking to upgrade, a little disappointed w/M9. Not that big of a Galaxy fan. Was impressed by the G3. Really looking forward to the G4...So Samsung, Sony, HTC better watch out...Oh...I missing someone...The I6...Not really...
Resell value is not everything, trust me. Go with the one that best suits your needs. The G4 has a better camera, plus a removable battery/SD card slot. The S6 has wireless charging, metal body heart rate monitor and an amoled display. In my case, I'm going for the G4 because all of the features that it has suit my needs. Do not buy a phone because of the brand because it may disappoint you.
***** I have the edge and glare only bothers me when I look at it. After a day I got use to it and it's no long an issue. I'm still drooling over how beautiful this device is
After comparing phone arena's s6 and g4 reviews and other reviews myself, it seems that these are the pros and cons of each phone's non-aesthetic features S6: Pros - great AMOLED screen with 550 nits output, good audio recording, great camera with OIS, great video recording, top benchmarks, good screen-on time, fast charging, wireless charging, fingerprint scanner. Cons - average or slightly thin call quality, no sd card, no replaceable battery, protruding camera lens. Non replaceable back cover. G4: Pros - great IPS screen with around 454 nits output, good video recording, top camera with 3 axis OIS, laser focusing and color spectrum sensor, good call quality, SD card, replaceable battery, large 5.5" screen, replaceable back cover. Cons - average audio recording, video recording could be susceptible to wavy effects (might get corrected in software. later), average on-screen time (might be improved later through software), no rapid charging but OK fast charging with 1.8A charger, wireless charging require the quick window case, no fingerprint scanner. Did I miss anything with the non aesthetic feature comparisons?
All of u LG haters. The world's not standing on samsung.! Have samsung with a passion! And the guy who's been reviewing this smartphone. Is not much of an lg fan at all!
LG G4 is better choice longer battery life according to most reviewers better camera quality in most occasions bigger display and slightly curved removable battery expandable memory swappable back cover better camera in low light faster camera focusing Manual Mode Spectrum color 8mp selfie camera more customizable UI leather back is gorgeous smoother processor and no lag issues a bit cheaper price
Since Samsung decided not to launch the Note 5 in Europe, I'm considering buying a G4 instead. But I was a little curious about what kind of watch he has on his arm in the video. Anyone who knows? Thx for a great review btw!
Removable (3000mah) battery, SD Card Slot and 5'5 screen. The LG G4 shoots pass the Samsung Galaxy S6. I will leave the Samsung Galaxy S6 for the bitter X-iPhone user who want to try an Android for a change.
***** I'm an iPhone user thinking of switching. Why the F would I switch to another maker that charges $100 for internal storage increases, tiny, non-removable battery? G4 Ftw.
Except for usb otg completely nullifying the "storage problem" while leaving ram MUCH faster, and a far more efficient exynos SOC that not only lasts as long as other 3000mha phones with snapdragons, but charges way faster and in the case of the no fast charge G4... light years faster. And no terrible back buttons or camel toe. No thanks.
Inner Ear Thing usb otg doesn't nullify the storage problem........then why the F did Samsung keep banging on about offering sd slots all these years? People don't carry around external hds or their laptops everywhere but sd cards can easily be placed in one's wallet. I'd rather have a phone that charges a bit slower, has a bigger and replaceable battery. Camel toe? Now you're grasping at straws.
mahballzrhari Yes it does. If you need more storage space, plug in an OTG and transfer to and from it. They're tiny, and usually go in a wallet as well, or more commonly, on a keychain. Problem solved. Issue nullified. Fast charging is still better, you have to charge two batteries and very slowly. I charge just one, and in 1/2 of the time it takes you to charge just one of the two of yours. 1 hour vs 4 is of no benefit. Not to mention, I can also do it wirelessly. Also no risk of damaging a lithium ion battery that can break open in your pocket. BTW where an extra battery fits far less easily than an OTG SD, if at all, and poses a huge risk of being damaged (bent when sat on and exposure to heat). And no, I'm not reaching at all, it straight up looks like a camel toe. Everybody's been making that joke. You're the one grasping for straws here, making issues out of nothing. The G4's a fine phone, but none of the above are actual issues.
Inner Ear Thing You're talking of cameltoes and accuse me of making issues out of nothing? Samsung has already said they'll charge $45 to replace the battery. Fast charging fucks battery up in the long term. Can you appreciate that fast charging isn't a solution for everyone? What are you gonna do when there's no power outlet? Replaceable batteries are ace cause you can have a bunch of them and quickly switch em. People who go camping, people in the field, frequent flyers and people in dozens of other circumstances would rather have replaceable battery. Have you so quickly forgotten Samsung's wall hugger ads? Or when Samsung fanboys used to gloat to iPhone users about the expandable storage? Now you're making the same excuses they made and you're bringing up useless shit regarding the G4 like the looks, cameltoe etc.....which has no bearing on the functionality of the phone. All of a sudden Samsung users have become experts to what people need. Sounds very much like another company *cough Apple *cough.........at least the latter doesn't hide their haughtiness. Ask anyone what they like the most in a smartphone.........great camera, good performance, great battery life........people have always and still do care more about battery life, will it last me through the day rather than "how fast will my phone charge"........and the GS6 fails miserably at the former.
I don't understand why people keep saying this phone isn't as good as the s6. The software is snappy on both and they both have great cameras and great screens. Yes, the g3 isn't made out of metal and glass but who cares your going to put a case on it anyways and plastics doesn't dent like metal. Plus you get an SD card that means you have to shell out an additional 100-200 bucks on the base 680 price while its only a additional 5-50$ to expend storage on the g3's base 600$
John Velasco Don't let the malicious animals & RUclips haters pressure u into changing who u r & what u do. If they don't like it then they should simply NOT WATCH!
I have made a deep research and Im going to buy the Lg G4 on Februry. Do you think I need to consider another phone becauae this one is a bit old? ps: I have 600 bucs
Why did u not talk about the sound quality while playing music on speakers and when using it in ur earphones like HTC has really good quality both speakers and when u r using the earphones they amplify the sound pretty good and loud also even does the apple iPhone how does the G4 compare with sound quality both speaker and ear phones for music purpose bcz I listen to music alot and sound quality is really important for me and also camera G4 cam is outstanding just want to know how the audio is
I hate most reviews now a days because everybody plays it so safe they're afraid to give a real opinion and say "I think this is better". Instead they give you some technical data and round it up with "it's up to you to decide which is better". All I want to know is has anyone proven, like really proven this camera to be better than the S6 cause I really like what they (LG) are trying to do.
Been waiting on the G4 holding off on purchase until it comes out. Reviews don't sound so good, that battery life is really below what I expected. Doesn't seem to be any perfect phone out. I like the S6, but I have fallen in love with LG's back button from carrying a my G2 for two years now and LG makes the best cameras. Problem is the only feature i see that the G4 does better than the S6 is taking pictures, my G2 did most everything better than the S4 it was up against and my choice was easier.
Nate TheDaddy - LG should've done more to keep the specs at least even with the S6. Being a better bang for the buck is what will get them over the top.
I am going to say this.I am currently using LG G4.Man,i like this phone a lot!It is really a great device!It is fast,display is very beautiful,UI is smart..I have nothing bad to say about it.Before LG G4 i had Galaxy Note 4 an Galaxy S6 Edge.Note 4 and S6 Edge are great phones,but in my opinion LG G4 Is better phone.
Pleaseeeeee someone help me! I'm leaning more towards the note 4 right now really. It's bigger and for me that's a plus in the phone industry. F2.2 aperture, same screen resolution as g4 etc. And we don't have a specific release date on the g4. Should I just upgrade to the note 4 or wait for the g4 to come out and get that?? Someone help mehh
My S6 is getting as good or better life than the G4 so far. Juat turn of VoLTE and wifi scanning always on. Known bugs. There's also a kernel that's getting FAR better than stock. I went 1 day 3 hrs with just under 6 hr screen on time. Gps, wifi, netflix, youtube etc all day.
The G4 looks nothing like the G3 in my opinion,even the buttons on the back are different. literally everything is different, I don't know how you could say miniscule design changes.
So the s6 drops removable battery and sd card copies i phone design copies the glass back that was done years ago and that's what people are praising lolololol.
They are bias towards the G4 I guess because LG take different route in design with no compromise also delivering too notch features These reviewer wasnt expecting LG to deliver such a awesome device
The iPhone is the best selling phone on earth, the Galaxy S6 will surely be second best selling this year after the iPhone and I can promise you,the masses do not care much for removable batteries or SD cards. Just us nerds and geeks care and that's a fairly small amount. I have a Moto X right now, no removable battery or SD card slot and its the best Android phone I've ever had. Aside from its camera.
Dante Bradley I say time will tell Look at BlackBerry,Nokia,Motorola at out point they were the best And still good I see LG making moves up the labber and that good for them as a company also for us the consumer
Sorry I realized that soon after. It works with a samsung quick charger though it has quick charge capabilities built in. And still offers wireless charging with the right quick circle case.
I own a LG G3 and I really like LG smartphones but I don't think the G4 is going to be a big succes. It's just a remake of the G3 and it wasn't a good idea.
Hmm the only thing that plays a big role for me is battery since, in this day and age, you will be happy with your camera, screen, and performance with any flagship smartphone. A lot of people care about design but idc. Since johhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnn v said the battery is about the same (which I was expecting it to be much better than the s6 since the s6 is only average) I will be getting the s6.
Josh Jung HTC M9 camera isnt good enough for a flagship, no OIS and picture quality especially in low light is a joke. I think battery life is much better on the G4, you can compare them in other areas
David Smithsota LG G4 is better choice longer battery life according to most reviewers better camera quality in most occasions bigger display and slightly curved removable battery expandable memory swappable back cover better camera in low light faster camera focusing Manual Mode Spectrum color 8mp selfie camera more customizable UI leather back is gorgeous smoother processor and no lag issues a bit cheaper price
There's no point in comparing this phone to the G3 as only 11 bought that phone last year. What matters is how it compares to the S6, that's all, is it better or not. Oh ya, and if LG thinks they can charge extra for the leather back then they're smoking some hella strong crack, so you think Samsung and Apple, and HTC are charging extra for their premium materials? Fucc no!
I know, I know, we're so used to thinking of Samsung as having ghetto-cheap build quality, but apparently they've turned a new leaf and are finally making premium-feeling devices. Mind you, I haven't held an S6 so I'm going by what reviewers have said which we should take with a grain of salt. I have used a Note 4 though, which was pretty awesome. My Note 3 has been a fantastic device...
Galaxy S6 has been critically acclaimed ??? wtf ? Just because it has glass and metal ? Ive been hearing massive complaints about the S6s display. People are dumping it. Also finger print and heart rate sensor who gives a fuck. I'll be getting the G4
the s6 is the best in terms of what critics say but I think the g4 will be the better phone to live with, especially if you are signed on for 2 years. Some of the features it lacks don't bother, does anyone actually use a heart rate monitor on their phone. Whack a better battery on it and this phone is the winner
RyanGiggsOBE nah man, no fingerprint scanner (literally used 20X a day), plus no quick charging or wireless charging - not a winner. I do like the leather back and the cameras are a wash, but I think the s6 is the overall winner here
atl3630 While quick charging is good, it does beat up your battery making for a much shorter life span...and you cant just replace the battery on the S6, you gotta pay to do it. The G4's battery is user replaceable(and upgradeable), so that's an edge(get it?) in my book :)Both phones are good and you honestly can't go wrong with either.
Ahh, so nostalgic. I had this phone back in the day and it is still one of my favorite phones I've ever had. RIP LG.
I love john he actually acts upon viewers advice to improve his reviews
What? We want John V back!
Wiencon John Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee you mean.
John VVVVVVVVV to be exact :D
Wiencon it's joooooooooooooooooooooooooohn v
Same here.
Wiencon I hate that sound,He is a good reviewer except that jhooooooooon vvvvv here!!! part
Love it how you guys always mention call quality.
It' hard to understand what you say
Buy a 4500+ extended battery, get the folio circle view case (which DOES support wireless charging), add the Google launcher + stock icon pack and besides the rear-firing speaker... this phone is PERFECT.
For people who don't know - lg g4 does have fast charging the test models didnt
The battery life doesn't bother me, I can't do any more phones with sealed batteries so I'll pick this up and have a spare battery or two with me when I know I'll need it. Back to full charge in 5 seconds, don't need rapid charging in that situation.
Good, honest review John V...The camera in manual mode looks amazing.
You can change the display saturation ,etc
Best of 2015 LG G4
What a beast! This will be my next phone for sure. Not a huge jump from my LGG3, and I'll miss the wireless charging, but looks to be an amazing new device. My friend who has a GS6 Edge said the battery life is terrible and he's thinking about trading it in fto the G4. Just an FYI that if battery life is important to you this is probably the best phone for you, as you can carry spare batteries to get you through the day(s) (Note 4 as well if you want to go bigger).
Or buy a Motorola droid turbo.
Having expandable memory and removable battery on the lg G4 and on the other hand Samsung s6 is not water proof along with non expandable memory which were great point in samsung's favour now adds up as positive points for LG.
Coming from someone who has a M8 who's looking to upgrade, a little disappointed w/M9. Not that big of a Galaxy fan. Was impressed by the G3. Really looking forward to the G4...So Samsung, Sony, HTC better watch out...Oh...I missing someone...The I6...Not really...
i got this LG G4 & i could surely say that its the best smartphone i ever had the camera is outstanding i love it!
Damnnn,I'm bloody confused! o_o
Question of the year->S6 or G4?!
Get the s6 bro I believe it will hold its resale value alot better than the g4
Resell value is not everything, trust me. Go with the one that best suits your needs.
The G4 has a better camera, plus a removable battery/SD card slot. The S6 has wireless charging, metal body heart rate monitor and an amoled display.
In my case, I'm going for the G4 because all of the features that it has suit my needs.
Do not buy a phone because of the brand because it may disappoint you.
Tahmid Rahman go to the store and use both of them>>>the on u like better is ur new phone....
p.s..phone arena samsung fans
Omar Khairy You mean Apple fanboys, at least Johnny is.
None of them. Galaxy Note 5, Xperia Z5, iPhone 6S, Droid Turbo 2 and the next Google Nexus are coming!
LG G4 KING of ALL
Phones
S6 Edge Best Smartphone Of 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LAKSHAY SHARMA that funny
Doesn't the glare of light bother you on both of the edges?
***** exactly. I think the s6 is the best. The edges ruin the display in most environments.
***** I have the edge and glare only bothers me when I look at it. After a day I got use to it and it's no long an issue. I'm still drooling over how beautiful this device is
So? You are happy... If they give money with it. I wouldn't take it.
Do you get a second back cover? Since the leather won't be as sustainable as plastic..
No galaxy s6 for me. I am totally getting this beast of a phone in July. I cant wait!
Wireless charging depends on the cover, but I thought the leather cover you showed us in this review should have it?
After comparing phone arena's s6 and g4 reviews and other reviews myself, it seems that these are the pros and cons of each phone's non-aesthetic features
S6:
Pros - great AMOLED screen with 550 nits output, good audio recording, great camera with OIS, great video recording, top benchmarks, good screen-on time, fast charging, wireless charging, fingerprint scanner.
Cons - average or slightly thin call quality, no sd card, no replaceable battery, protruding camera lens. Non replaceable back cover.
G4:
Pros - great IPS screen with around 454 nits output, good video recording, top camera with 3 axis OIS, laser focusing and color spectrum sensor, good call quality, SD card, replaceable battery, large 5.5" screen, replaceable back cover.
Cons - average audio recording, video recording could be susceptible to wavy effects (might get corrected in software. later), average on-screen time (might be improved later through software), no rapid charging but OK fast charging with 1.8A charger, wireless charging require the quick window case, no fingerprint scanner.
Did I miss anything with the non aesthetic feature comparisons?
I think i am preferring this over the S6.
is there an english version of this review?
Excellent job John VVVVVVV, thanks
I am going to buy this as my next smartphone, I already got LG G3 and I enjoy it :)
All of u LG haters. The world's not standing on samsung.! Have samsung with a passion! And the guy who's been reviewing this smartphone. Is not much of an lg fan at all!
Hatef
Hate! *
What happened to joooooohhhnnnn v from phonearena here?
"Trust Us!" :D nice accentuation!
LG G4 is better choice
longer battery life according to most reviewers
better camera quality in most occasions
bigger display and slightly curved
removable battery
expandable memory
swappable back cover
better camera in low light
faster camera focusing
Manual Mode
Spectrum color
8mp selfie camera
more customizable UI
leather back is gorgeous
smoother processor and no lag issues
a bit cheaper price
How do you get realistic looking photos through the display if the photos themselves are realistic but the display is over saturated?
Since Samsung decided not to launch the Note 5 in Europe, I'm considering buying a G4 instead.
But I was a little curious about what kind of watch he has on his arm in the video. Anyone who knows?
Thx for a great review btw!
Excelente siempre explica bien los pro y los contra
What does adjusting the shutter speed do?
Removable (3000mah) battery, SD Card Slot and 5'5 screen. The LG G4 shoots pass the Samsung Galaxy S6. I will leave the Samsung Galaxy S6 for the bitter X-iPhone user who want to try an Android for a change.
***** I'm an iPhone user thinking of switching. Why the F would I switch to another maker that charges $100 for internal storage increases, tiny, non-removable battery? G4 Ftw.

Yes it does. If you need more storage space, plug in an OTG and transfer to and from it. They're tiny, and usually go in a wallet as well, or more commonly, on a keychain. Problem solved. Issue nullified. Fast charging is still better, you have to charge two batteries and very slowly.

Inner Ear Thing You're talking of cameltoes and accuse me of making issues out of nothing? Samsung has already said they'll charge $45 to replace the battery. Fast charging fucks battery up in the long term.
Can you appreciate that fast charging isn't a solution for everyone? What are you gonna do when there's no power outlet? Replaceable batteries are ace cause you can have a bunch of them and quickly switch em. People who go camping, people in the field, frequent flyers and people in dozens of other circumstances would rather have replaceable battery.

Ask anyone what they like the most in a smartphone.........great camera, good performance, great battery life........people have always and still do care more about battery life, will it last me through the day rather than "how fast will my phone charge"........and the GS6 fails miserably at the former.
Is it just me or does it look like the camera is wobbly when he demonstrates the record function?
I don't understand why people keep saying this phone isn't as good as the s6. The software is snappy on both and they both have great cameras and great screens. Yes, the g3 isn't made out of metal and glass but who cares your going to put a case on it anyways and plastics doesn't dent like metal. Plus you get an SD card that means you have to shell out an additional 100-200 bucks on the base 680 price while its only a additional 5-50$ to expend storage on the g3's base 600$
Is the display better then s6?
John Velasco Don't let the malicious animals & RUclips haters pressure u into changing who u r & what u do. If they don't like it then they should simply NOT WATCH!
Tmobile has the leather back version of the phone for the same price as the plastic back.
I have made a deep research and Im going to buy the Lg G4 on Februry. Do you think I need to consider another phone becauae this one is a bit old? ps: I have 600 bucs
It's still a great phone don't know if you've bought it yet but I just bought one, waiting for it to arrive.
LG g4 has quick charge 2.0 they say but you need the adapter
John Velasco is the g4 slow ?
Why did u not talk about the sound quality while playing music on speakers and when using it in ur earphones like HTC has really good quality both speakers and when u r using the earphones they amplify the sound pretty good and loud also even does the apple iPhone how does the G4 compare with sound quality both speaker and ear phones for music purpose bcz I listen to music alot and sound quality is really important for me and also camera G4 cam is outstanding just want to know how the audio is
What!?!?! What did you do with JJJJJHHHHOOONNNNN VVVVVVVV!! we want him back!!
I hate most reviews now a days because everybody plays it so safe they're afraid to give a real opinion and say "I think this is better". Instead they give you some technical data and round it up with "it's up to you to decide which is better". All I want to know is has anyone proven, like really proven this camera to be better than the S6 cause I really like what they (LG) are trying to do.
Wat watch u got on
so no wireless charging for g4...? nfc chip cover no included?
it does now have fast charging
So it doesnt stand for Vagera?
Great review
Nice phone. Great camera.
Been waiting on the G4 holding off on purchase until it comes out. Reviews don't sound so good, that battery life is really below what I expected. Doesn't seem to be any perfect phone out. I like the S6, but I have fallen in love with LG's back button from carrying a my G2 for two years now and LG makes the best cameras.

Nate TheDaddy - LG should've done more to keep the specs at least even with the S6. Being a better bang for the buck is what will get them over the top.
Nate TheDaddy for people who don't like samshit it's a great device.
And it does have quick charge 2.0
what's the big "gouge" in the bezel above the camera?
cells that u cant take the battery cover out n change it n add extra memory is not worth buying in my book
so im go with the G4 or the Note 4 soon
The use of the leather back doesn't actually syncs well with the plastic sides and front. It is out of place and felt like a rushed decision from LG.
I am impressed with your review. Not so much with the phone. Keep up the good work! 👍
Very good review
finally people are realising that resolution can be too high.
you don't need more pixels you can't see wasting your battery
Is lg g4's camera better than sony xperia z3?
As someone who plays a lot of games and some psp roms on thier phone a lot will I notice any performance issues? This is coming from some1 with an s4
how to restore the lost stock photo editor of lg g4
it have fast charge nd wireless charge options tooo .....
Looking good!
It does have wireless charging.
First time said Velasco instead of V!! lol
Is it just my display or does the video at 8:16 look very jumpy? As in it's not smooth when he moves the camera around.
hands down to lg g4's camera
It has built in Wireless Charger
Does anyone know which phone stand that is at the 40 second mark? Thank you so much!
finally got to know what that "V" stands for.
Haha. I've said it before
I am going to say this.I am currently using LG G4.Man,i like this phone a lot!It is really a great device!It is fast,display is very beautiful,UI is smart..I have nothing bad to say about it.Before LG G4 i had Galaxy Note 4 an Galaxy S6 Edge.Note 4 and S6 Edge are great phones,but in my opinion LG G4 Is better phone.
Really? Awesome! I'll pick this up then! I was actually trying to decide between the note 4 and this, thanks man!
Pleaseeeeee someone help me! I'm leaning more towards the note 4 right now really. It's bigger and for me that's a plus in the phone industry. F2.2 aperture, same screen resolution as g4 etc. And we don't have a specific release date on the g4. Should I just upgrade to the note 4 or wait for the g4 to come out and get that?? Someone help mehh
Go for the Note 4 instead,the G4 is LG's most Cursed Device on your timeline,trust me im from the future
I have a LG G4 in the color gray
well my s6 is only missing the better manual camera controls and im good to go ^^ and better battery life but thats also software issue too
***** so lgs display is better than super amoled? So you can say that with a straight face?
hey look a fight under my comment nice ^^
My S6 is getting as good or better life than the G4 so far. Juat turn of VoLTE and wifi scanning always on. Known bugs. There's also a kernel that's getting FAR better than stock. I went 1 day 3 hrs with just under 6 hr screen on time. Gps, wifi, netflix, youtube etc all day.
nice! I'll be looking in to it thanks.
Can anyone tell me why S6 is the best smartphone?
So wait, it "lags" in graphics processing? How can you tell??
By bench marking it
does opimisation of 808 helps here (vs 810 on lg g flex 2)
Video focus seems slower than iPhone 6.
The G4 looks nothing like the G3 in my opinion,even the buttons on the back are different. literally everything is different, I don't know how you could say miniscule design changes.
How.
can anyone explain to me why the hell you would need a heart rate sensor on a phone?
So the s6 drops removable battery and sd card copies i phone design copies the glass back that was done years ago and that's what people are praising lolololol.
They are bias towards the G4 I guess because LG take different route in design with no compromise also delivering too notch features
These reviewer wasnt expecting LG to deliver such a awesome device
The iPhone is the best selling phone on earth, the Galaxy S6 will surely be second best selling this year after the iPhone and I can promise you,the masses do not care much for removable batteries or SD cards. Just us nerds and geeks care and that's a fairly small amount. I have a Moto X right now, no removable battery or SD card slot and its the best Android phone I've ever had. Aside from its camera.
***** u right about plastic but s6 goes metal this year I think LG made a strategic choice not to go metal which work out
Dante Bradley I say time will tell
Look at BlackBerry,Nokia,Motorola at out point they were the best
And still good
I see LG making moves up the labber and that good for them as a company also for us the consumer
***** you r right that no one as bought one as yet
But so far it look promising
Lg has no idea how nice quick charging is ....
It does have quick charging with the lg charger and wireless charging with the quick circle case. Just saying...
No it has not. Quickcharge 2.0 (which the LG G4 has) is 5V/2,1A. The charger that comes in the box is 5V/1,8A, that's not a quick charger
Sorry I realized that soon after. It works with a samsung quick charger though it has quick charge capabilities built in. And still offers wireless charging with the right quick circle case.
All the things that the LG G4 doesn't have will be in the g5 most likely
I own a LG G3 and I really like LG smartphones but I don't think the G4 is going to be a big succes. It's just a remake of the G3 and it wasn't a good idea.
Hmm the only thing that plays a big role for me is battery since, in this day and age, you will be happy with your camera, screen, and performance with any flagship smartphone. A lot of people care about design but idc. Since johhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnn v said the battery is about the same (which I was expecting it to be much better than the s6 since the s6 is only average) I will be getting the s6.
Josh Jung HTC M9 camera isnt good enough for a flagship, no OIS and picture quality especially in low light is a joke. I think battery life is much better on the G4, you can compare them in other areas
Watching on my Galaxy S6
thx for sharing, i really wanted to kno!
David Smithsota LG G4 is better choice
longer battery life according to most reviewers
better camera quality in most occasions
bigger display and slightly curved
removable battery
expandable memory
swappable back cover
better camera in low light
faster camera focusing
Manual Mode
Spectrum color
8mp selfie camera
more customizable UI
leather back is gorgeous
smoother processor and no lag issues
a bit cheaper price
Michael Marcuz i know. why are you telling me this?
any plans of replacing it? If yes, you're very lucky, it's on sale plus.google.com/104923498734515538555/posts/7Z1Gm18r5iQ
boy it would be great to have someone who does not own a Samsung product reviewing a LG product
The phone does have Qualcomm quick charging.
With an update it does support it.
There's no point in comparing this phone to the G3 as only 11 bought that phone last year. What matters is how it compares to the S6, that's all, is it better or not. Oh ya, and if LG thinks they can charge extra for the leather back then they're smoking some hella strong crack, so you think Samsung and Apple, and HTC are charging extra for their premium materials? Fucc no!
Kevin Schmevin lmfao dumbest shit ive read in a hot minuteee
I am... to please.
Kevin Schmevin Samsung thinks they are a premium brand LOL..ahahaa
I know, I know, we're so used to thinking of Samsung as having ghetto-cheap build quality, but apparently they've turned a new leaf and are finally making premium-feeling devices. Mind you, I haven't held an S6 so I'm going by what reviewers have said which we should take with a grain of salt. I have used a Note 4 though, which was pretty awesome. My Note 3 has been a fantastic device...
S Saini Samsung a premium brand? That's like saying Kim Kardashian is classy and elegant. G4 ftw.
I'm having a tough time deciding between LG G4 and OnePlus 2. Help me someone ;-;
+Sufyan Habeeb If you care about screen and camera, go with G4.
I'd get the g flex 2 I think over the G4.
Guess what guys, John V reads our mean comments lol
Compar it with the s6
Galaxy S6 has been critically acclaimed ??? wtf ?
Just because it has glass and metal ? Ive been hearing massive complaints about the S6s display. People are dumping it. Also finger print and heart rate sensor who gives a fuck. I'll be getting the G4
This should not be called a review!
It is all the info that a preview covers!
Fantastic
the s6 is the best in terms of what critics say but I think the g4 will be the better phone to live with, especially if you are signed on for 2 years. Some of the features it lacks don't bother, does anyone actually use a heart rate monitor on their phone.
Whack a better battery on it and this phone is the winner
RyanGiggsOBE nah man, no fingerprint scanner (literally used 20X a day), plus no quick charging or wireless charging - not a winner. I do like the leather back and the cameras are a wash, but I think the s6 is the overall winner here
atl3630 While quick charging is good, it does beat up your battery making for a much shorter life span...and you cant just replace the battery on the S6, you gotta pay to do it. The G4's battery is user replaceable(and upgradeable), so that's an edge(get it?) in my book :)Both phones are good and you honestly can't go wrong with either.
My g3 is slippery, slow, laggy, etc. No way I want that, even though the design is better.
