A great camera with full manual controls and output to DNG. And the color sensor seems to actually work
The Snapdragon 808 fixes many of the 810's issues. This won't be the reigning benchmark champ anytime soon though

The editors didn't like
The display brightness and viewing angles could be better
Squared edges can be uncomfortable at times
And the plastic model is very slippery
Battery life is average at best
No rapid charging
Over-saturated colors in photos
No full Quick Charge support
Or wireless charging without using a case
Some superfluous software
Regular plastic backs are nothing special
But the removable back brings its own disadvantages. The G4 is just rather plain and the leather options and different colored back panels can only get you so far
I'm obsessed with smartphone speakers. Music is a massive part of my life and listening thr
Wireless charging is not built in
Bulky and awkward to carry in a pocket
Less premium than other flagship phones
No frontfacing speakers
Subpar software
No native wireless charging support
Quick Charge adapter not included with phone
No matter which back panel you get
The major contact points—the sides and buttons—are still plastic
No always-on voice commands
LG merged the individual notification and power settings panels into a single panel
And it's very cramped
Not any faster While not slow
The G4 really doesn't feel quicker than a G3 running Lollipop
Still gets smoked by the Galaxy S6 in most benchmarks
And can occasionally exhibit undesirable stutter and jank for no readily apparent reason
Android skin sometimes gets in the way
If you don't go with the leather back plate option
The regular plastic back plate makes the phone look pretty ordinary looking
Underwhelming battery life
Somehow impractical design or at least not as comfortable as last year's (overall bigger size)
Unoptimized and heavy UI
Doesn't support wireless charging
Battery life could always be better
Screen
No fingerprint scanner
Slow OS updates
Bloatware-heavy. Runs warm when gaming
Battery life is average and improves little from last generation
Snapdragon 808 processing performs well but lags behind other current flagships
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
Shorter battery life than competitors
Faux metal back is ugly
Thankfully we have other choices. Display isn't extremely bright
Subtle changes from the LG G3
Performance hiccups
Still not a fan of the rear controls
Some testers found it too big
Software could use some work
Not on the most current version of Android
Wireless charging requires optional case
Quick Charging isn't as fast as other devices that support it and plastic backs are meh and those wanting a premium metal feel won't get it
No quick or wireless charging
Downmarket design
Except for the polarizing leather option
Overall
A timid update to the G3
A bit pricier for those on a budget
UAG logo is a bit big
Middling design
No wireless charging
Plastic build
Ugly software
Inconsistent
Ungainly software
Plastic version offers little aesthetic improvement over G3
Leather version wears easily
LG UX still a bit bloated
Still some smudgy post processing in the camera
For those that don't want leather backings
Plastic backs are a consolation prize
Slightly longer
Wider
And heavier than the G3
Color temperature is a cold ~8000K
Underperforming graphics processing
Chipset is not what we would expect of a flagship
Imprecise screen brightness settings
Insufficient battery autonomy
Average Battery Life
Pricing
Unfortunately
We don't yet have pricing information on the LG G4. I was handed a G4 as part of the TMobile Preview Tour and US carriers have not yet provided pricing information. I think it will be similar to other high end Android devices
But
High levels of luminance noise and some chroma noise in some base ISO images
Edge softness in some images
Occasionally unreliable focus in Auto mode
Low quality slow motion video and no way to export
Pronounced rolling shutter effect in video footage
Design isn't as impressive as some of its competitors
Even with the optional leather back. Performance is marginally behind the Galaxy S6.
Extravagantes Design, Bisher einzigartige Kamera, Curved Display mit hoher Auflösung, Austauschbarer Akku, Starke Hardware für die kommenden Jahre
Etwas unausgeglichene Performance, Akkulaufzeit nur ein Tag
Ganze fünf von fünf Sternen erhält das LG G4 in meinem Test. Die hat dieses Smartphone meiner Ansicht nach auch vollkommen zurecht verdient. Nicht, dass das Smartphone perfekt wäre. Das leicht knarzende Gehäuse, der etwas schwache Akku, die für sein Nive...

mit einem Wort zusammenfassen wäre das wohl: solide. Ich habe nach der Ankündigung aber auch nicht gedacht, dass es mir so gut gefällt.Kritikpunkte sind für mich die Größe, etwas kleiner und weniger gebogen auf der Rückseite wäre optimal, und das Plastik...
Abstract: Mit Leder-Design, starker Kamera und aktueller Highend-Technik will LG der Konkurrenz zeigen, wo es langgeht. Und das G4 macht im Test tatsächlich mächtig Eindruck. Ob es allerdings reicht Samsung und Co. in die Schranken zu verweisen, sehen Sie in diesem...

Hoher Preis
von Boris Boden - 13.06.2015 Imposant: Der 5,5-Zoll-Screen löst mit 2560 x 1440 Bildpunkten auf. (Quelle: LG ) Die weitere Hardware ist ebenfalls auf Top-Niveau: Vor allem das leicht gekrümmte 5,5-Zoll-Display mit 2.560 x 1.440 Bildpunkten überzeugt mit h...

Tolle Verarbeitung, Optionaler Lederrücken, Erstklassige Kamera, Sehr gutes helles Display, Speicher erweiterbar, Akku wechselbar, Moderne Konnektivitätstandards werden unterstützt
Sprachqualität, UI nicht immer flüssig, Kein kabelloses Laden, Display dimmt sich automatisch, wenn es zu warm wird, Hoher Energiebedarf
Mit dem G4 ist LG ein richtig gutes Premium-Smartphone gelungen. Die Entscheidung für den etwas schwächeren Snapdragon 808 lässt sich nicht kritisieren. Im Gegenteil, der kleine Bruder des Snapdragon 810 hinterlässt einen sehr guten Eindruck. Das Smartpho...

Fantastische Akkulaufzeit, Vielleicht die beste SmartphoneKamera, Individueller Lederrücken, Gute Software
Kein Fingerabdrucksensor, Nicht ganz so edel wie Galaxy S6 und iPhone 6
Ich habe zu Beginn dieses Test nicht ernsthaft daran gedacht, das folgende Urteil über LGs G4 zu fällen. Ich war nach der Ankündigung des Gerätes vom 5,5 Zoller so mittelmäßig angetan. Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass LG hier mit stumpfen Waffen gegen Apple und...
