Premiera LG G4 odbyła się w 2015 roku, mimo to smartfon nadal jest godny uwagi. Oryginalne wzornictwo, 5,5-calowy ekran o rozdzielczości QHD i świetna jakość wykonywanych zdjęć powodują, że koreański flagowiec w swojej klasie cenowej może okazać się świetnym wyborem. Nie jest to jednak idealny smartfon, przeciętny czas pracy na baterii oraz wydajności, podpowiadają że warto rozejrzeć się za innym rozwiązanie. Rozczaruje też fakt, że telefon jest dostarczany bez słuchawek i ładowarki szybkiego ładowania.

LG G5 Vs LG G4
Source: Android Authority Archive.org version
So, there you have it for this closer look at the LG G5 vs LG G4! The big question here is whether the LG G5 brings enough to the table to be considered a worthy upgrade from its predecessor, and the answer really depends on how much you want all the new features that the G5 brings into the picture, such as the modular design, the dual rear cameras, and the fingerprint sensor.

Samsung Galaxy S7 vs LG G4

There are two reasons why you might be interested in comparing these two handsets. You either own an LG G4 and are interested in upgrading to one of this year's heavy hitters, or are looking for a new phone and are wondering whether it's a good idea to shell out for the shiny new Samsung Galaxy S7, or just go for a discounted, slightly older model in the face of the LG G4.

Looking back at the LG G4

So there you have it for this quick look back at the LG G4! The overall experience with this smartphone has been very good, and it remains a very reliable device to have, especially if you’re able to leverage features like expandable storage and a removable battery. The design aspect is what I have enjoyed the most about this phone, and we hope that, even if we don’t see some of the more unique elements make it over to the LG G5, we get to see them in other parts of LG’s lineup.

Apple iPhone 6s Plus vs LG G4
Source: Phone Arena Archive.org version
With all of this in mind, it's up to you to decide which handset suits your needs better. Truth be told, you can't go wrong with either, but you must consider that both phablets serve different types of users. Thus, those who want an elegant and reliable phablet for consuming multimedia, making mobile payments, and playing games with silky-smooth framerates will find the iPhone 6s Plus fantastic for their needs. Power users, though, might prefer the LG G4 for its competent multitasking, file format freedom, the camera's Manual mode, and the ability to add a microSD card or replace the battery on a whim. And if you also happen to be price-conscious, this is another point of interest for LG's hero phone.

Apple iPhone 6s vs LG G4
Source: Phone Arena Archive.org version
The iPhone 6s is a complete all-around package with little compromises and lots of polished features that work reliably. But if you aren't after the iPhone 6s' “premium” appeal, you need to consider the fact that the LG G4 presents better value for money. A solid all-around Android phone, the LG G4 costs as much as $200 less than a 16GB iPhone 6s, but has at least three things going over it — a bigger display, a more elaborate camera, and a louder speaker. But, even when we put design and user interface aside, which are both subjective characteristics, the iPhone 6s does win over the LG G4 in terms of display accuracy, sheer performance, camera consistency, app quality, and battery life. Although one can certainly learn to live with the G4's shortcomings, the iPhone 6s is consistently better in almost every regard, and demanding users will find the price premium well worth it.

Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ vs LG G4
Source: Phone Arena Archive.org version
Our review must have made the following things pretty clear by now. Both the Galaxy S6 edge+ and the LG G4 have very good designs, but whereas the former is purely a showpiece, the latter is more practical with its removable battery and microSD card slot. The display on the Samsung phablet has a more natural look with its color accuracy, but LG's doesn't look bad either. And still, both are bragging material with their excellent minimum and maximum brightness levels. Also, the S6 edge+ and the G4 boast mature, streamlined user interfaces that have been set on path of improvement, with both having plenty of potential to get even better.

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 compromised performance, battery life or camera quality, and retaining both a microSD slot and a removable battery means the G4 will appeal to a whole tranche of customers for whom flexibility is most important.

Samsung Galaxy Note5 vs LG G4
Source: Phone Arena Archive.org version
All things considered, for most users, deciding between the Galaxy Note5 and the LG G4 would be a classic decision of either splurging on a device that's more expensive and able to do more than they actually need, or paying less for a device that seems to be less pretentious, but about as versatile in almost all cases. Whether the Note5 is worth the price premium is up to your individual tastes, needs, and financial situation, which is why we can't straight up recommend it as a better purchase than the LG G4. But if pure technological enthusiasm, or the need for stylus-driven mobile productivity are the motivating forces in your decision-making process, you will end up happier with the Note5.

80% Great price and camera but phone misses the mark in other areas
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
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 not massively different from the G3 and has tough competition. We feel build quality could be better with a metal frame and dimensions going down, not the reverse. This is the flagship to go for if you want a removable battery and expandable storage but it's a shame to see features like wireless charging dropped.

The main talking point with the LG G3 was its incredibly high-resolution display – coming in at 538 PPI. This remains with the G4, but the processor and camera are just a few of the improvements made to the new flagship. While a unique leather back model has been released, we review the metallic grey variant.

But who is it aimed at really? The businessman would care about the leather back but he would love better battery life. The college-going student would love the camera but he wouldn’t care so much about the leather back. The battery would be the dampener once again. If you are sitting in a car at the start of the race – would you rather it be a Ferrari that may run out of gas halfway or a Maruti that would get you to your goal. The G4 is good but unfortunately, it isn’t the best and at the very top, that is a killer blow.

LG G4

LG’s flagship smartphone has, in my opinion, always represented the culmination of what LG as a conglomerate could in some sense achieve. LG’s G flagships have often shipped with LG Chem batteries, LG Innotek camera modules, LG Display LCDs, and LG Mobile’s design and integration.

The LG G4’s best feature is easily its camera. The combination of a 16-megapixel optically stabilized sensor with an f/1.8 lens and competent software results in some truly awesome photos in a wide variety of conditions. With the G4’s superb shooter in your pocket there is no reason to carry around a point-and-shoot, and in many circumstances it does the job of a much more bulky DSLR.

The LG G4 is definitely another step forward for the once-ailing smartphone brand, but it’s a step that puts it further behind the leading pack. Some users will be enticed by the lower price, and some might even love the alternative feel of the leather on the back - and they’ll find a more-than-decent phone in their hands if they do plump for the G4.

The LG G4 is an interesting smartphone that ticks many of the right boxes. It has a unique design, an excellent display, and a camera that's up there with the best in terms of image quality. However, it's let down by a few flaws - the large battery doesn't translate into equivalent real-world usage, and the software could use some improvements.

LG G4 vs Apple iPhone 6 – in-depth comparison
Source: Laptop Media Archive.org version
Both LG G4 and Apple iPhone 6 are great choices for a flagship device. The design of both phones is great, even though each manufacturer has used different materials in the construction. Purely looking at the specs, features and hardware of each phone, the G4 outshines the iPhone 6, but as it seems this isn’t always the case, especially if Apple is involved. We can’t give you an exact science regarding the “right” choice between these phones, but we can help you decide what suits you best. If you are a power user, who likes being able to control almost everything on their device, or just really enjoys having various features, go with the G4. You also get a removable back cover, so if your daily life includes a lot of traveling and not many opportunities to charge your phone, you can just make a quick swap.

LG G4 vs. Samsung Galaxy S6: Next door rivals
Source: GSM Arena Archive.org version
The Hatfields and McCoys are legendary rival neighbors from the New Continent, but South Korea has two tech giants instead - Samsung and LG. Their flagship phones, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and LG G4, will compete for every inch of ground gained on the market. These two are quite different in nature and will appeal to different crowds. The thin metal and glass design of the S6 goes after the iPhone, while also catering to Galaxy faithfuls who weren't happy with the faux leather. The LG G4 steers away from the "smartphone slab" design with a uniquely curved body and provides a soft answer to Apple's and HTC's metal.

LG G4 review – the divergent flagship
Source: Laptop Media Archive.org version
For three years in a row, LG was able to differentiate themselves with flagships featuring unconventional design, big battery capacity, good screens and great camera performance. The G4 here is a worthy successor except some details that need a little improvement. For starters, the design is great, build quality is excellent, but there’s a bit more to that. While the leather provides extra grip with good feel, the sharp edges and corners along with overall bigger size, compared to its predecessor, makes the phone harder to use with one hand. It feels a bit impractical, but still outshines its competitors in this department. The screen, on the other hand, brings a lot to the table even though not as much as LG claims. Color accuracy is practically the same (with minor improvement), color gamut coverage is the same, but the contrast ratio is sky-rocketing along with maximum brightness and both greatly improve image quality outdoors. So here’s where the LG G4 rights the wrongs of the G3. Compared side to side, the G3’s screen just looks obsolete.

LG G4 vs LG G3: LG’s flagships compared
Source: Android Authority Archive.org version
Though the G3 is increasingly becoming available for lower prices, you will be buying a year-old phone. Although many don’t feel comfortable spending their hard-earned cash on a smartphone that was released in 2014, software updates have been doing a good job at keeping the phone from feeling like a fossil. The G3 is still a great value considering its lower price point, solid camera and speedy performance. However, the G4 has proven itself worthy in this year’s crop of flagships, and offers enough improvements across the board that make it worth the extra dough. The camera is more powerful and robust than ever, the user experience is as smooth as it should be at this point in the game, and the signature LG style continues to impress.

Testing: LG G4 and Android Smartphone Cameras
Source: Tested Archive.org version
All of this is a long way of reminding you that camera hardware specs are just one component that goes into how a smartphone photo looks, and to give you a glimpse of how I think about photography when testing smartphones. To say that Android cameras suck is a gross oversimplification of the current state of smartphone photos; but simplification is something that Apple's cameras and algorithms do get right. If you just want to tap and snap, you're going to be able to get quality photos on the iPhone 6. I just prefer the versatility and high-resolution detail of my photos from the LG G4, which look great on the phone itself and on the desktop.

Review: LG G4
Source: Gizmag Archive.org version
Like the HTC One M9, the LG G4 is a very good phone that falls short of our hopes right when its biggest rival is soaring the highest. Apart from its screen size and quality, the G4's biggest advantage is that it runs a little cheaper than most tier-one smartphone flagships – at least when you buy at full retail. If you're grading on a (full retail) pricing curve, then it does look like a somewhat more serious contender.

At the end of the day, the main story here is that, while both the G4 and the S6 offer a lot of features, they are as quick and smooth as they need to be. Both companies have received a lot of flak for stutter and lag on previous iterations of TouchWiz and LG UX, but complaints are few and far between this time around, and that is a wonderful development.

The build quality is top-notch and we think the phone looks great in leather. The plastic rear covers are not as impressive but by no means of poor quality. From experience with the Moto X, we're slightly concerned about how well the leather will hold up but if LG did it right, the G4 will age more gracefully. The phone fits well in the hand, the curved shape takes a while to notice but it does have a positive impact on the usability.

Source: Androidbeat Archive.org version
It’s hard not to be really impressed by the G4, bringing the best of modern smartphone technology in every regard, screen, camera, internals, OS, all in a premium package that undercuts its rivals from Samsung and Apple by a good £100 or so, SIM-free. It’s true that the plastic backed version doesn’t feel quite so luxurious, so definitely pay the £20 extra to get a leather variant – and shop around to find a supplier or network with the colour you want (easier said than done?) Unless you have a real aversion to leather, I promise that you won’t regret the extra research.

Overall we're quite surprised to see that the iPhone 6 and LG G4 are reasonably evenly matched in a way.

Which one should you choose? It’s a lot about your preference when it comes to software platform, but the LG G4 is one of the best Android phones you can get at the moment, and probably the best phablet, while the iPhone 6 will still carry more appeal for gamers with its stellar catalog, as well as causal users who count on its “just works” approach.

LG G4 Review – The hero Android needs
Source: Slashgear Archive.org version
I admire LG’s restraint. The company took the best of last year’s G3 and spent its time refining the key elements: display and camera, and that focus has paid dividends. The G4 has a fantastic screen and a camera capable of taking on Samsung and Apple’s finest and not being cowed. All the same, it’s not a clean sweep. The G4’s plastic models are frankly underwhelming and, even with the leather back in place, the fake chrome still cheapens the overall feel. Wireless charging as standard would’ve been an obvious cherry on top of the removable battery, too.

In the clash between the LG G4 and the iPhone 6 Plus, it's virtually impossible to determine a clear winner. Both handsets have their strengths and weaknesses, and picking one over the other will eventually narrow down to personal preferences. The G4, in particular, is a pretty good example of what a smartphone maker might come up with after it's taken its time to perfect a winning formula – the G4 is a surprisingly good all-around device that will most certainly cope with the majority of everyday tasks you might throw at it.

100% LG G4 review
Source: Stuff TV Archive.org version
Has the LG G4 swooped in and stolen the 2015 phone of the year award from Samsung? Not quite. The Optimus UI is once again not the best-looking in town, and some of the aesthetic hardware upgrades are barely skin-deep. It doesn’t have the price advantage the LG G3 had, either. At £500 for the ceramic-plastic versions and £525 for the leather versions, it’s actually the same price as the Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9 from the top spots online.

LG G4 review: refined, but not game-changing
Source: Engadget Archive.org version
It might not be as technically powerful as some of LG's other recent releases, but the G4 as a package is the most compelling the company has put out yet. From the pared-down user interface to the tight integration with Google to the strong camera performance, the G4 is a great phone... not to mention a very logical step forward from last year's G3.

LG G4 preview: A second encounter
Source: GSM Arena Archive.org version
A quick glance at LG G4 will quickly suggest that the Korean giant’s latest flagship smartphone is an evolution of its predecessor and rightfully so. However, improvement in key areas such as build quality and finish, display, and camera take the smartphone to a level, which last year’s model couldn’t reach.

LG G4 vs Samsung Galaxy S6
Source: Phone Arena Archive.org version
If you kept score, you'd know which way we're leaning right now — the Galaxy S6 snagged more wins on the way, big or small, earning itself a lead on the G4. This doesn't come without a lengthy, maybe even patronizing disclaimer, that makes it sufficiently clear that you should try and identify the things you care about instead of following along blindly. This means deciding whether you want a phablet-sized phone, or one that is easier to handle. It means asking yourself if that extra frame or two when gaming will really make a difference. It means finding out whether metal-and-glass designs are your thing, or whether you prefer the warm touch of leather instead.

Conversely, we’ll applaud the LG G4 for being a worthy competitor too. If savings is your thing, the $200 on-contract cost is deserving for a high caliber phone like this one – though, you’ll be getting a less premium looking phone with its plastic casing. Regardless of that, LG really impresses us with the G4’s amazing low lighting performance with its camera – and its vibrant IPS Quantum Display. Like we said people, there’s no shame going with one of the phone over the other. It just mainly comes down to what design you find more attractive.

90% LG G4 Review: a phone that attempts to do everything
Source: Android Authority Archive.org version
So there you have it – an in-depth look at the LG G4! It’s been a great year so far for flagships. With every phone bringing different offerings to the table, the LG G4 is trying to bring the most. A great camera experience is backed by yet another speedy iteration of Android, in a body that remains recognizable and attractive due to LG’s signature design language. If what are missing in other flagships kept you from buying them, the G4 just might be the phone that you’re looking for. It isn’t a big leap from previous generations of the series, but that is true for most of this year’s releases as well.

LG G4 review - including performance benchmarks, battery results and camera quality assessment

We're not bowled over by the software improvements, but that doesn't dampen our enthusiasm for the LG G4. It's incredibly hard to be different in the smartphone world, and yet by being bold, LG has managed to pull it off. Critically, it hasn’t compromised on performance, battery life or camera quality, and by retaining both a microSD slot and a removable battery, the G4 will appeal to a whole tranche of customers to whom flexibility is most important.

100% LG G4 review - holy cow!
Source: Expert Reviews Archive.org version
The G4 may be coming slightly late to this year's flagship smartphone race, but it's certainly got a wealth of features to help it stand out from the competition. While we're not particularly keen on the ceramic or metallic models, the leather back is surprisingly elegant and we definitely prefer it to the slippery glass back of the Galaxy S6. The G4's unique colour spectrum sensor also puts it neck-and-neck with the camera on the back of the S6 and we think its display looks just as sharp and punchy as Samsung's Super AMOLED panels.

With the G4, LG puts its competitors on notice – and it puts another tantalizing option in front of smartphone shoppers in 2015. If you’re shopping for an Android smartphone but you’re reluctant to be one of the millions scooping up a Galaxy S6, or you want a handset that lets you change up its look while you’re swapping in a fresh power pack, the G4 is the phone for you. Just be ready to tweak your way around its software shortcomings, and be sure to budget a little extra for the spare battery and memory card you’ll need to truly make it shine.

LG G4 Review: Built for Power Users
Source: Tom's Guide Archive.org version
The LG G4 is a beautiful phone, from the ergonomic feel of its leather-backed body to the gorgeous quad-HD images that pop out of its Quantum IPS display. Its 16-MP camera is one of the best in its class, with tons of nifty modes for both photo enthusiasts and selfie savants. Plus, unlike the Galaxy S6, the G4 didn't have to drop its swappable battery and expandable microSD storage in order to evolve.

Like many LG phones in the past, the G4 is a showcase for the strength of the company's technological innovations. The Quad HD LCD looks incredible, and the G4 has the horsepower to drive all those pixels, unlike the G3 before it. The larger image sensor, faster lens, and dedicated color sensor make for some truly stunning still images, and the full manual camera mode opens up a lot of creative photography options. As impressive as these features are, though, none are definitively better than what's on offer with the Galaxy S6.

LG wants us to feel the great, and to that degree, they’ve succeeded in bringing the phone a new finish that’s sophisticated. But more importantly, they want us to see the great, which we can certainly agree to. While it’s not a dramatic update, the LG G4 manages to do what successive phones are required to do each and every year – and that’s to improve upon the opportunities missed with last year’s product. In that regard, we can attest that the G4 trumps the G3 in several key areas to making it a worthy successor.

The new design, particularly that distinctive leather back, may divide the style conscious, but one aspect everyone should be able to agree on is that the LG G4 is a very competitively priced handset. With a SIM-free UK price of £499, it’s noticeably more affordable than its main rivals without falling short on quality. Well played LG.

LG G4 vs HTC One M9 comparison: HTC wins on design, but the cheaper LG G4 destroys the One M9 on value
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
On specs alone it's a close call between HTC One M9 and LG G4. The HTC is in our opinion the better-looking of the pair, and performance should be better, yet the LG G4 offers great value at £499 and boasts a significantly better screen if you want to watch media and play games. We'll offer a definitive verdict once we've finished benchmarking the LG G4.

It's impossible to give a definitive verdict until we've run the LG G4 through our benchmarks, but based on the specifications alone we can judge that the Samsung Galaxy S6 is the higher-specified phone with what we expect will be much faster performance, as well as more bells and whistles including wireless- and quick charging as standard, a heart-rate sensor and a fingerprint scanner, while the £100 cheaper LG G4 offers better value and the added benefits of a microSD card slot and removable battery.

LG's tagline for the LG G4 is "See the great, feel the great," and it certainly lives up to that motto by making a well-designed leather-backed smartphone. It stands out and, more importantly, and stayed in my hand. That's unlike the thin and slippery iPhone 6, which I had to buy a leather case for anyway.

Despite packing a weaker processor than the HTC One M9 and Samsung Galaxy S6 we didn't notice any lag so can't see it being an issue. Even when shooting in RAW it was just as quick as snapping in JPEG alone. The LG G4 is a beautifully designed handset with a display that is visibly better than its predecessor. If this is more affordable than the competition it'll be a very difficult offering to ignore.

The leather is certainly a nice touch, the stitching sets it apart from the Moto X to create a unique, recognizable look. The basic plastic cover is quite good too and you can easily switch covers to keep things fresh. The curvature of the G4 is a nice talking point that will let you brag to your friends, though its practical advantages are pretty slim.

Comment

Model: The new LG release has long been keenly awaited by LG fans looking forward to yet another elegant, sleek and stylish product. This time, LG has really outdone itself with the design of the G4, which features a full genuine leather back. It fact, it may be the only smartphone on the market thus far to have a fully genuine leather back that comes in two colors, brown and black. The rest of the phone under the leather covering and the display are special as well, featuring plastic that has been enforced with ceramic. Display wise, it has a 5.5 inch IPS Quantum screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and a pixel density of 538 ppi.

The operating system used is the Android 5.1, also called Lollipop. The G4 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 chipset with X10 LTE and a 1.8 GHz 64 bit hexa-core processor. An Adreno 418 graphic card completes the team and there is 32 GB internal storage, which can be expanded up to 2 TB thanks to the memory card slot. The smartphone measures about 9.8 mm in thickness and weighs about 155 g, which is quite acceptable. If you want to stand out with a classy, refined phone, this is one model to look out for.

Qualcomm Adreno 418: Integrated graphics card that supports OpenGL ES 3.1 and DirectX 11 Feature Level 11_1 (with hardware tessellation). Compared to the Adreno 420, the performance of the 418 is about 20 percent slower (at 600 MHz).

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

808 MSM8992:

High-end ARM SoC with 6 CPU cores (2x Cortex-A57 and 4x Cortex-A53) and an Adreno 418 GPU. Manufactured in a 20 nm HPM process.

5.50":

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

LG:

LG Electronics Inc. is a subsidiary of LG Group. It is a South Korean company and was founded as Goldstar Co, Ltd, in 1958. The group offers products in the fields of information technology, consumer electronics and mobile communications, and home appliances. LG Electronics is the world's third largest home appliance manufacturer. As a notebook manufacturer, LG only became known to a wider audience in the German-speaking market in 2005. After a few years, LG largely withdrew from the laptop sector. The product range includes OLED, LED/LCD and plasma TVs, home theater systems, Blu-ray players as well as audio and video players. 

87.29%: This is an above-average rating. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that about one fifth of all tested models receive a better rating.
