While we're not bowled over by the software, it hasn't dampened our enthusiasm for the LG G4. It's incredibly hard to be different in the smartphone world, but with some bold design choices LG has managed to pull it off. Critically, it hasn't comprom...

Slightly bulkier than other smartphones, no fast charging
The LG G4 deserves its place alongside the top tier Android smartphones on the market and has many features and capabilities its rivals don't. The device offers a fresh new look, useful and relevant features and one of the best cameras you'll ever find o...
Abstract: If leather's your thing the G4 comes with a black or tan case, with other coloured cases to be sold separately. Photo: LGSuperficially the most interesting thing here is the G4's leather back, an eyeball-grabbing feature in the plastic and glass world of...
The LG G4 is a fantastic phone. Its camera is its strongest point, followed closely by its intelligent build. It really is far easier to grip and use than any other 5.5 inch phone on the market. The rear-mounted buttons, complimented by the tap-on/tap-off...

Abstract: LG's improved on the G3 in almost every respect with the G4. Which is great, but I've still got a couple of reservations about it.Over at PC Mag Australia I've taken a look at LG's latest “premium” smartphone, but given they've already run a US-led review...
Beautiful display, Modern, stylish design, Amazing camera
No built-in wireless charging, Leather backs will lose lustre, Large dimensions
The individual pros and cons of the LG G4 don't take into account the overall experience of using this phone. It's a beautiful piece of technology, curved and leather-wrapped, with expandable memory and a removable battery, that works well and doesn't pre...

Android 5.1.1 out of the box. No memory leaks. Lots of speed, That camera is absolutely brilliant. 16 megapixels of optical image stabilised goodness, guided by laser focus and a bright f/1.8 aperture, with the power of manual focus and shutter control. I
” section that the OS can slow down, and that can cause apps to misbehave. I've noticed this most prominently in two situations; just after a fresh boot, and during and shortly after installing apps from the Play Store. I can only assume that's because th
I'm not sure what there is left to say about the G4; I usually find myself at the end of a review thinking something along the lines of:Here's a great device, but it's let down by these flaws, but hey it's still alright.With LG's G4, I'm not really in tha...
Incredible camera with solid manual controls, Great screen, The one flagship to still have expandable storage and a removable battery,
Weak vibrations, Leather case prone to damage, plastic case feels tacky, No fingerprint reader,
LG's G4 is easily 2015's best all-rounder to date. Sure, the Galaxy S6 wins on looks, the Lumia 640 XL wins on value and the iPhone 6 (even though its technically a 2014 release) wins on ecosystem, but the G4 gets almost everything right without compromi...
Feels great in the hands; LG's display is one of the best in the business; Curved display feels like it was used here for a decent reason rather than just a gimmick; Fantastic camera with some manual control in the software; Excellent system performance;
No fingerprint reader; Thicker than previous model; No water-proofing; While leather might be a premium material, the back is still technically made of plastic and is therefore not all that premium; Leather back doesn't need the stitching; Lacks wireless
LG's G4 is an interesting little handset, and upon first glance, this journalist didn't really know what to make of it. It's one of those phones that looks and feels so much like its predecessor that it's hard to fathom what has actually changed.And yet.A...
