Excellent camera performance (especially HDR and low light); Removable battery; microSD card slot; Beautiful screen; Leather chassis; Speedy processor; 100GB free Google Drive stroage
Poor battery life; Plastic version feels cheap; Not quite as powerful on paper as rivals
Using the G4 has left me with mixed feelings. As a keen phone photographer, I'd happily carry this ahead of a high-end rival, and be confident that it could produce pleasing results in all sorts of conditions. The battery life may be weak, but the abilit...
Great screen, best-in-class camera, microSD slot, latest version of Android, smooth performance
Plastic model feels cheap, average battery life
The LG G4 is undoubtedly among the best smartphones on the market today. We felt somewhat let down by the plastic design and average battery, but the gorgeous screen and impressive camera make it a worthy Galaxy S6 challenger, especially when its cheaper...
The LG G4 has a sharp and generously sized display, a bevy of camera controls and raw image shooting, a replaceable battery and expandable storage
Though the phone's battery life is adequate, it doesn't last as long as its competitors. There are no significant new software features and its design feels uninspired
Though it feels too similar to last year's G3, the LG G4 is an excellent big-screen smartphone that will appeal to budding photographers, and has old-school features missing from rival flagships....

Great display with plenty of resolution real-estate, competitively priced as flagships go, camera is as good as modern smartphones get
Battery life not great (much like G3), big for a phone (larger than G3), LG UX interface feels over fussy, no fingerprint scanner
The LG G4 has heaps of positives going for it: from the leather finish options, excellent camera performance, through to the ultra-subtle curve and that bold, colour-packed 5.5-inch screen. Just because it doesn't opt for the most powerful processor...
Premium leather finish I Quad HD display I Unfussy UI I Incredible camera
Middling battery life I Plastic back option not the best
Until a couple of years back, you wouldnt have given much thought to an LG handset. The status quo changed with the G2 and with the G4, LG are at the top of their game. Offering a phone with a removable battery, expandable storage and a camera and displa...
LG has gone down an unexpected route with leather models which we like apart from a couple of colours. The so called ceramic model will be cheaper but feels cheap and plasticky. On the whole, hardware is once again strong - particularly the camera - but n...
Bright screen with gorgeous contrast, Excellent camera performance, Shooting in RAW and Manual mode, Removable battery and MicroSD card slot, Leather battery cover rocks
Still made of plastic, UX features are a mixed bag, Battery life is average, Speaker quality is weak
There's no doubt the G4 is the best handset LG has made to date, not just because of the components, but also because of the thoughtfulness that went into it. Little things, like a brighter screen with better contrast, prettier interface, and useful soft...
Abstract: There's £100 between these gorgeous Quad HD Android phones , but how cheap does the LG G4 have to be to make you choose it over the spec-loaded, performance heavyweight that is the new Samsung Galaxy S6 ? We compare two of the best new phones of 2015 spec...
If any Android smartphone has what it takes to give the Galaxy S6 a run for its money, it's the LG G4. We'll reserve judgement until we give it the full review treatment, but the gorgeous screen and impressive camera should have Samsung worried. µ ...

Camera launcher could be better, No QuickCharge technology, Jury is out on leather durability
LG G4 focuses on what everyone actually wants out of a smartphone, a great looking design, color rich display and the great camera for photos. It rivals Samsung's Galaxy S6 on all fronts, and is shaping up to be an 11th hour contender....
