I dont get the hype everyone has for the S6 no sd card no battery looks like a i phone.I'll take this phone any day over the s6.Something is wrong with you brightness settings there.
Max, As always you have the best smart phone reviews on RUclips!! I have watched most all of your videos and have learned a great deal about which smart phone I should purchase. However, what about the phone and audio quality, ease of use, and how clear it is to hear and talk on a smart phone? Could you also include a review of which phones are easy to use as a telephone and which phone works well in a congested environment (e.g., airport, in the car, in high wind, or noisy club party environment)? Thanks again! You are the best!!
Great unboxing! So what you think is it worth the upgrade? I have LG G3 (D855) 3gigs of ram version and i love it! But love this new camera on G4,but i don't know if snapdragon 808 is good chipset.I expected higher benchmarks with 808 soc!
See at 19:51 he pulls the notification bar down and the brightness setting is on "auto". There you have it. This is the reason your G4 is not brighter than G3. You have the brightness on auto, which automatically lowers the brightness according to the lighting around it.
That's actually a color spectrum sensor under the yellowish flash bulb. It's supposed to help the phone setup white balance better to get more realistic colors
***** Great Unboxing Max!!.. I thought the korean model had the tv antenna & 2 batteries included in the box,or am I wrong?..I look forward to the MEGA CAMERA/VIDEO SHOOTOUT OF ALL PHONES: Note 4/note 4 edge, s6/edge, htc m9 etc. #SHOA!!
I ysed manual mode for sprint s6 at the concert and got the best exposure with 100 iso and lowest exposure level and was able to chnge contrast and recorded that way. It was awesome...
Hey Max, great video, I just discovered you and am enjoying your content, very informative and honest!!! Anyways, the recording without manual controls is very disappointing, but I am hoping and wondering if it is just like the S6 in that aspect. To elaborate, the S6 allows for you to customize the recording features with pro mode but only at 1080p. At 4k and (I believe) 1080p 60fps the camera only allows auto control. Hopefully this is true as having no manual control in video would be very disappointing and may well be enough to steer me towards the S6(I need a decent video recorder on the go but can't live with auto all the time, I NEED CONTROL!!!) :) Anyways, hopefully you can test my theory and report back on RUclips with a video or something showing if the controls are available at the resolution. Also, is there slo-mo, kind of weird but I haven't seen anyone mention it. Thanks!!! *****
It maybe stacked with specs and looks sexy but does it dethrone the Samsung S6? I think not, NOT even with Konglish shutter feature LOL. Great review Max.(as usual)
what's the heat issue on this? is it bad as the HTC One m9 (I got the gunmetal grey) where it heats pretty quick or is it chill till you use it more then it heats?
Cool video, I can't wait till you compare this with the S6, I think the camera will beat Samsung, but can the overall package edge the s6? I guess will have to wait for the full review and the comparison to the s6. Also can you please post 4k video test from the phone as you did in the s6 review. Thanks and keep it up.
Nebuchadnezzar18 If you watched the coverage at the event LG had some light boxes set up with different scenarios for taking photos, the G4 wiped Samsung's ass and still called it's Mommy afterwards. Night time shots were awesome, S6 was still too dark.
This is not the first nor is it the only phone with f1.8 camera. There is the xiaomi mi4 (also complete manual mode) and the vivo xshot. Can you compare these phones on the camera side?
Max please help what is the model number that's support lte t-mobile freq and it's international version so i can buy it. i am from Dubai and our version model is H818P
I think lg should have gone with a s805 instead of the s808, you can clearly see that the 805 performs better through the benchmarks (I know this does not signify that it's better) and probably the adreno 420 found on the 805 is better than the 418 found on the 808
I just love the comment, "It's like this phone is made for Koreans." If that's indeed the case, then the Korean version of the G4 fits its demographic perfectly lol.
DarkTube Get a USB JIG and fix it. You can find them on eBay or make your own with 3 1k Ohm Capacitors connected together. You can use CyanogenMod now where it does all the work for you, if it recognizes a phone. So it won't happen again. Or use Kingo Android Root.
Yeah but my goal isn't to get the most subscribers but doing things that I really like to do and Apple just aint my thang. Ever since I laid my hands on IBM compatibles in the 90s, I have tried but never fell in love with Apple. I think it's my DNA.
Umm, my tmo note edge on stock lolli can take the moving hand image no issues. So, sorta not sure why you are saying the s6 is hard to take it with. Lol lg fanboy you are
Meh... I am not impressed with the LG G4. It's not that much of an upgrade from the G3. The Samsung Galaxy S6 has yet to be beaten... Maybe the only threat will be the Galaxy Note 5.
Tony Salinas the ROM on any of the galaxy types are all under par compared to other Android devices. But it also depends on what is running on an individual's phone.
I dont get the hype everyone has for the S6 no sd card no battery looks like a i phone.I'll take this phone any day over the s6.Something is wrong with you brightness settings there.
Dovakeen79 Apple copied the iPhone Clones from China, then Samsung tried to make a sexier looking iPhone.
***** Use the + button if u wanna direct your humor to Dovakeen79
Best performing soc loop pay built in NFC fastest charging best battery best display arguably the best cameras gg4 so much more
Max,

that slit and hole thing on live thing was AWSOME!

Great first impression of this phone.
It is a great phone, choice and contender to the flagships.
Good Job Max and LG

Please do a side by side camera + 4k video comparison of the G4 vs the S6!
lol I love the sound effects intro!
did you ever suffer from boot looping with this model? did you get it from at&t or tmobile if your phone did boot loop?
That's actually a color spectrum sensor under the yellowish flash bulb. It's supposed to help the phone setup white balance better to get more realistic colors
***** Great Unboxing Max!!.. I thought the korean model had the tv antenna & 2 batteries included in the box,or am I wrong?..I look forward to the MEGA CAMERA/VIDEO SHOOTOUT OF ALL PHONES: Note 4/note 4 edge, s6/edge, htc m9 etc. #SHOA!!
I like the G3 design better with the rounded corners
Are you going to post a how to root the G4 video when root option is available? Love the Stay High On Androids!
I ysed manual mode for sprint s6 at the concert and got the best exposure with 100 iso and lowest exposure level and was able to chnge contrast and recorded that way. It was awesome...

Great review, nice explanations.
Thanks from France.
It maybe stacked with specs and looks sexy but does it dethrone the Samsung S6? I think not, NOT even with Konglish shutter feature LOL. Great review Max.(as usual)
im supposed to be getting ready for work yet i got up and got high on android, i hope there isnt a random drug test today
***** will do
Thanks for all your videos, you help me to choose my next phone, the lg g4. Thanks again Max
what's the heat issue on this? is it bad as the HTC One m9 (I got the gunmetal grey) where it heats pretty quick or is it chill till you use it more then it heats?
Are you going to do give aways?
***** please let ***** keep this phone. We love his reviews and highly recommend Max to do official reviews for your company :).
Great review max, keep em coming
Im back to being an LG fanboy, I need this! You should tell Patricia Mcdonald over there at LG to let you do the drop test aaaahahahahaahah!
Nice review maxx. Too bad there is no manual mode in video recording.
I hope so.. The antutu score is also disappointing.. It should be more than 50000 with 6 core..snapdragon. Just cant wait untill ine plus 2 is out.
Cool video, I can't wait till you compare this with the S6, I think the camera will beat Samsung, but can the overall package edge the s6? I guess will have to wait for the full review and the comparison to the s6. Also can you please post 4k video test from the phone as you did in the s6 review. Thanks and keep it up.
Ohh dude, you're a legend. thanks bro.
I will still be waiting for the full review and comparison to the S6.
Nebuchadnezzar18 If you watched the coverage at the event LG had some light boxes set up with different scenarios for taking photos, the G4 wiped Samsung's ass and still called it's Mommy afterwards. Night time shots were awesome, S6 was still too dark.
Hi, dose it still have the FM Tuner??
or do u know if it can be activated with a root?
I'm considering switching from my zte zmax2 to the lg g4. hoping it'll be worth it.
are the sides made out of metal?
The fuck, did LG say that the G4 is 20% brighter, or 20% darker then the G3??? They said brighter!
how does the G4 compare against the Note 4?
Yay, the "eye" on LG logo winks :) I'm sold! haha :)
It's not a dual flash, it´s a colour sensor!
This is not the first nor is it the only phone with f1.8 camera. There is the xiaomi mi4 (also complete manual mode) and the vivo xshot. Can you compare these phones on the camera side?
is it has 360 camera shooting? image stabilization? as s6............
Max please help
what is the model number that's support lte t-mobile freq and it's international version so i can buy it. i am from Dubai and our version model is H818P
LG Mobile Global so another puzzle to solve next year, manual mode for video shooting? this phone still heating, make something to cool it down....
Hey max, can u make a lg g4 root video? Its come out pree recently and showing us how to do it would be pree cool!!!
Re-Watching this in 2023. Damn I miss my LG G4 now.
Yes it has a slight curve, so that the phone screen doesn't touch the desk.
I think I know what my next phone might be! LG G4!
YESS was waiting for this
I think lg should have gone with a s805 instead of the s808, you can clearly see that the 805 performs better through the benchmarks (I know this does not signify that it's better) and probably the adreno 420 found on the 805 is better than the 418 found on the 808
Please tell me LG g4 is better than the lg v10 on audio an camara thanks
5:04 also a slot of micro sim...should have been micro sd.. overall nice review... :)
Can't wait for this phone. I want it now.
Meant to add Lol
G4 does NOT support quick charge 2.0. They consciously turned the feature off for some unknown reason.
I just love the comment, "It's like this phone is made for Koreans." If that's indeed the case, then the Korean version of the G4 fits its demographic perfectly lol.
Camera has OIS 2.0 technology. curious to know if its better than Note 4 camera.
I am JEALOUS! Still loving my S6 though.
Isn't that the color sensor?
Great video as always!!!
I'm a Disabled Vietnam Veteran who loves Technology, just can't afford it,so I'll take one if you have one to give !
keep up the great work and your so funny great video
The thing opposite of the laser focus is the color spectrum.
Well I'm not disappointed but I'm not so sure either about swapping it for my note 4 now
The front of the phone looks identical to the Oneplus one, if you remove the LG stamped at the bottom.
there are only 2 reasons to get this phone as an 2014 flagship owner. 1.camera 2. processor.
I love you, you're so funny man :) Greetings from Turkey
I got too high on android and rooted my non tech savvy friends phone and it bricked so i called it brickey now hes mad?
Samsung galaxy s6 bricked no odin mode. nothing so we called it brickey and put it in a frame.
DarkTube this is why you do not root someone elses phone unless it's yours
Im high on android!
DarkTube Get a USB JIG and fix it. You can find them on eBay or make your own with 3 1k Ohm Capacitors connected together. You can use CyanogenMod now where it does all the work for you, if it recognizes a phone. So it won't happen again. Or use Kingo Android Root.
Too late me and my friend found the hammer. and gave it a couple og nice hits. now brickey is in 4 peices in a frame.
max that is not dual flash. it is color sensor and flash
Please,compare G4 and G3 and S6 cameras :)
Let's go do this baby, YEAAAAAHHHH!!!! :D
Ac/ and pocket not confirmed fast charging is working that was the only thing stopping me from buying nice.
Oh men ,overheating problem again , I sold my LG g3 for the same problem, I no sure what to do ,wait for note 5 ?
OK thanks men ,question the overheat is similar to the LG g3 ?
The extra LED thing is actually a Color sensor. Helps make your photos better looking then your girlfriend.
Wake up in the morning and get high on android XD
hello max, do you have a tutorial how to fix bootloop for this device?
+Michael Sta Maria reinstall stock firmware.
+Max Lee (Zedomax) Yes you can reinstall just the micrisd.
Unfortunately, after i install the firmware via LGUP. It still on bootloop. Plus, can't enter to recovery mode.
Michael Sta Maria Try using the latest ota....
I don't mean to invade your personal life but how do you afford all these phones.
Does anyone know how to install a Samsung gear first edition watch to a LG g4 phone
s6 vs note 4 vs lg g4 camera test plese !!!
*****
thats one thing i dont like about my lg g3 is the brightness.
Thanks for sharing ***** Love your stye man!
Lower brightness ugh.
Not getting this anymore.
Please would teach us to make root in the LG G4 h818p android 6.0 please thanks..
If you can thank a lot for this root..
Antutu if you go by that my nexus 6 kills note4 and most other phones in benchmarks and we all know the nexus 6 is not the best phone out there.
Where is the ears phone?
up close it does not focus fast
Hey Max,Just a suggestion.I think you would have even more subscribers if you reviewed Apple products. Just saying.
Yeah but my goal isn't to get the most subscribers but doing things that I really like to do and Apple just aint my thang. Ever since I laid my hands on IBM compatibles in the 90s, I have tried but never fell in love with Apple. I think it's my DNA.
man this phone is a review unit so its going to varry with the finished product
Umm, my tmo note edge on stock lolli can take the moving hand image no issues. So, sorta not sure why you are saying the s6 is hard to take it with. Lol lg fanboy you are
max lee por favor poderia fazer root no lg g4 h818p android 6.o nos ensinar por favor obrigado.
플래쉬 밑에있는건 컬러스펙트럼 센서라고하네요
Loved this video 😂
LG really fucked up with the CPU. If they didn't want the 810, they should've went for the 805!
superb vid
Not waterproof no finger print scanner speaker on the back. No wireless charging. Bummer
is anyone concerned about their weird ui that seems laggy under pressure?
A question I always wanted answered from you : How many phones do you own ? ;D
it's Awesome I love it
Its like a phone made for Koreans! Rotflmao that was the funniest thing he's ever said.... Its the Korean model XD
I still love the Note Edge.. S6 edge sucks!! Useless edge panels.. its the real gimmik.. id rather buy iphone6 than galaxy s6/edge..
***** Oh & I for one do like the extended long videos 5👍's 👆
Nice! Stay HOA!!
Note 5 will be king!
Meh...
I am not impressed with the LG G4. It's not that much of an upgrade from the G3.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 has yet to be beaten... Maybe the only threat will be the Galaxy Note 5.
Johann Pascual Yet, I get great battery with my S6 edge. I've even posted screenshots multiple times of my SOT. Thanks for your concern though. 😃
***** Suuuure. Whatever helps you sleep at night. Keep hating. Your silly hate does nothing to my great battery. :D
Tony Salinas the ROM on any of the galaxy types are all under par compared to other Android devices. But it also depends on what is running on an individual's phone.
Tony Salinas you forgot the LG note
thereddog223 I don't worry too much about garbage.
Not as bright as the g3, wth so disappointed! !..
jealous here
More like LG G3.1
All is great phuck the 808
