  • I Phone still rules the world and samsung is always going to be Apple little bitch no matter what. And for the past years no phone got close to be the iphone killer. So tell me people which phone is the Iphone killer ?????

  • From what I’ve read the next Nexus will be made by LG this year. The rumors are they LG is making the G4, G4 Note and the next Nexus device. They have decided to go with the Qualcomm 808 octacore processor as the 810 has had to many issues. They also have the new screen that has all the new upgrades, even able to use with water on the screen and is super thin. If these rumors are true I might give LG another chance as I’ve had nothing but issues with my G3. Maybe that’s why LG is giving 4000 people in 15 countries a chance to try out the G4 for 30 days before it goes on the market. It’s a great idea to get feedback from customers who have actually used the device in real world settings and get their feedback on it. Now if they actually take into account what they have to say about the device, that’s what will make the difference.

  • It’s Samsung’s year in the android space. I don’t see any other OEM making a significant change from their last flagship, that would warrant an upgrade from the avg consumer.

  • This touts a f1.8 but the S6 has a 1.9 and the Turbo a f2.0. I have no doubt the G4 will take great pictures and will almost certaily be better than the Turbo, but why advertise a smaller aperture?

    • More light gets through the F/1.8 lens vs F/1.9 on the S6, even if it’s marginal, it should* take better pics in low light scenarios.

  • Soooooo if LG is the next Nexus maker, and the LG Nexus is based on the G4, do we see this camera(s) in the Nexus 2015?

    • Doesnt matter…i passed on the n6 and got a G3 cause even if the sensors were the same, Google camera app is horrendous. It is so stripped down, you cant even do basic things that people actually USE like burst shots ..or even slow mo (which people seem to like alot). Id GLADLY give up the gimmicky photosphere if they just put in native burst mode into the camera app. Until then….im gonna be looking at the g4 or note 5 as my next phone.

    • If a Nexus had a great camera, you may possibly be able to convert some of these people who bleed Samsung!

  • Haven’t been excited about a phone in a while but if this has real leather and the camera is as good at low light as it looks I think I’ll indulge (as long LG doesn’t mess up the UI too much)

  • I will be trying this phone out for sure…hope it does not take them to long to get it out!

  • I tend to by my smartphone based on its camera, but LGs skin is the worst of all manufacturers. Until they improve it I am out on the G series. Samsung is making great improvements and you always have Moto and the Nexus line.

  • I like the screen size of the G4 much better than the S6. The S6’s 5.1 display is so 3 years ago!

    • Agreed. Samsung had both 4.3″ and 4.5″ in the various GS2 variants. Then 4.8″ on the GS3 then 5″ on the G4. Then 5.1″ on the GS5 and no increase in size this year despite going QHD. And the Note 4 didn’t even change in size from the Note 3! I realize the physical home button is “the” Samsung thing but they need to either inch up in size on the GS6 or go with onscreen buttons and narrow bezels like LG!

      • Why does the size need to increase with every new generation. By that logic the GS7 will be Note 4 size soon and the Note 5 or 6 will be a 7 “phone. There is a point where they hit the just right size. I like phones in the 5″ to 5.5” range. Anything above that is a bit too much for my use but I can see how some people might like a 6 “phone.

      • Agree with Chris, but to each their own. I think the G3 screen is too big. I would love to have the 5.2 screen of the G2 with the G3 hardware. G3 screen size has an identity problem. It’s not quite a phablet screen, but too big to be a normal phone screen. I think 5.2 is the sweet spot.

  • If it’s going into mass production this week, makes me wonder if it’s gonna be released on the 28th? Maybe just a release date announcement.

    • Unlikely since they’re going to run a contest to have 4,000 people across 12 countries test drive the G4 for a “couple weeks” prior to launch. I’m guessing a June launch at the earliest.

    • I was just thinking the same thing. They may “soft” launch the handset and generate some positive buzz and then go all out with a full-scale launch inlate June or July. I would say that normally, a delayed flagship launch (ala Moto with the past October releases) that’s a day late and a dollar short spells doom but given the sorry state of Android flagships this year, LG is better off taking their time and making this one a smash hit-especially software-wise.

    • their definition of mass production might depend on the scale or efficiency of production. i’m sure they already have hundreds of thousands on the ready for the G4.

      • the speed at which they assemble and ship phones is amazing. i wouldn’t be surprised if a camera sensor made this week made it to the states and on a shelf in 2-3 months.

  • hopefully the software end of things is as impressive as their hardware efforts. i have high hopes for this. i won’t be getting one because of my upgrade cycle, but it will keep me interested for next year.

    • Exactly. Let all these fanboys drool over the S6 while a better phone is on the horizon.

      • The one thing that keeps me intrigued with the S6 is Samsung Pay. If it really has the ability to work everywhere and hassle free, that’s an awesome selling point for me. Though that won’t be released until the “summer” and typically when companies don’t release something with the phone it usually will be pushed back much further.

      • i’m really routing for LG because i’m basically an LG fanboy, but it feels like the G4 will be a let down

  • Wow, I need to decide if I want to continue using the Nexus 6 for the clean 5.1 OS but sub par camera or take on the LG G4 with the annoying skin but great camera!

  • Pretty hyped about the front camera specs. If they make the overall design well this should be a great overall device.

  • The G4 could really be an S6 killer, if anyone can do it it’s LG, let’s just hope they don’t mess it up.

    • hopefully. man, i wish that they’d use use an AMOLED panel. that was kind of a turn off for me, plus the battery life

      • LCD or amoled doesn’t matter to me as long as it’s still a good display. The G2 owned the S4 in battery life and the G3 had better battery life than the S5 so I think it’ll be fine.

    • If the skin is more like Sense and less like Touchwiz and the battery life isn’t an issue, I’m going with the G4. If not… I may ditch my M8 for the S6 Edge just to try something new for a year, despite my hatred towards physical home buttons and Touchwiz.

      • I want to see what the OnePlus 2 does but the G4 is very tempting just based on the camera info alone.

        • IF that’s the case then the battery life is gonna suck on all the Flagship devices this year.

        • Reports say they are opting for the 808.

          Even if they use the 810, if the battery is, say, 3500 mah, life will be just fine even with the QHD display.

          • That’s my concern. They can offset battery issue of the chip with a bigger battery but how will that processor actually run?! I don’t know anything about the 808 but technically shouldn’t it be a “downgrade” over the 810 (though it does have the reported issues)?

          • I’d personally rather see an 808 in a smartphone flagship and save the 810 for a QHD tablet since the greater surface area allows for much better heat dissipation and less throttling as well as a bigger battery. I’d love to have a G-Pad 8.3 successor with an 810, for example. HTC and Sony are having issues as is LG with the Flex 2. The 810 is just too much to cram into an average-sized smartphone right now, I’m afraid.

    • I don’t think anything will be an S6 killer at this point. Will a good device cut slightly into sales? Slightly. Maybe.

      • Nothing will kill S6 because Samsung has become the Apple of Android. They have the power to keep churning out the same phone year after year and sell it like crazy simply because it is Samsung. I swear, the Samsung sheeple are just as bad as Apple sheeple now.

        • That’s part of the reason but that is all b/c Samsung advertises like crazy. The general public probably hasn’t heard of the LG G series but know the Galaxy series b/c Samsung promotes it ad nauseam.

        • You really don’t think there’s been a substantial change between the S5 and the S6? Anyway, Samsung has been consistent about putting the best hardware in their devices and are arguably the best in the Android market when it comes to cameras.

          I haven’t owned a Samsung since the GNex, but this S6 is impressive.

        • The S6 is a great phone, people are just fine to like it. I hate posts like this…

        • Or it could be that people just like those products and it services their needs

      • If LG can launch a great marketing campaign (against Samsung and Apple) pushing their product, they can make a significant dent (if the device is right). Samsung and Apple both owe most of their success to marketing, something no other major phone OEM has been successful at so far.

    • The G3 camera was very good, but LG really needs to work on their displays. The display on the G3 is awful.

    • Agreed, they just need to go balls out with this device and not hold back this time.
      The G2 was Great minus the greasy back. but they slipped with the “G2.5” the G3…

      My only Gripe is LG dosent do AMOLED..

      • G2 was great other than the lack of microSD, fixed battery, slimy plastic back and no wireless charging other than the VZW variant. G3 addressed all of those within a superb form factor but had a sub-par screen, SoC, and a decent but not great camera. And still no standard wireless charging.

      • I have to disagree. I think the G3 was all around a better phone than the G2. The LG G3 was the first LG phone I ever even considered buying, the G2 didn’t even pop up on my radar. The only gripes that prevented me from buying the G3 was the poor quality, too high resolution, screen and poor battery life.

        If LG could make the G4 be essentially a G3 with a better quality 1080p screen and battery life on par with my old Droid RAZR MAXX HD which had about the same size battery as the G3, while keeping their promise to make the bootloader unlockable on all phones, then I’d buy one in a heartbeat

          • Honestly, when the G2 came out there were already many phones that were much better than the G2 for my uses. Heck my older RAZR MAXX HD killed the G2 in battery life performance while having a better UI, build quality, screen color and had remove storage unlike the G2. Plenty of phones at this time still had removable batteries before they regressed to modern day iphone standards. Any of the features that were perceived as good on the G2 were irrelevant to me.

            For me the importance of any phone’s features would be:

            Unlockable bootloader > Battery Life > Removable battery > On-screen buttons > Screen size > Device size > Amoled > SD Card slot > Build quality > RAM > Camera > Performance

      • One of the things I love about the LG, is it’s LCD screen. If LG switched to OLED, I wouldn’t touch them.

    • I want to believe. Screen, processor, Samsung pay are all trump cards for Samsung, BUT LG has the room to crush it with removable battery, SD card inclusion, or water proofing? I’d like to see a huge battery and Qi charging, which they probably will do. I do think the cameras are a good place to be. Sure makes that M9 seem like the 2013 phone it is.

    • If the battery life is better than Kellen’s review, the S6 will still have more mass appeal because of its more mainstream size. The G4 will be too big for a lot of people just like the G3. If they happen to make it thin and somewhere closer to the G2 (or between the G2/G3), then maybe it has a chance to be the S6 killer.

  • 8 MP front facing camera O_o thats a huge jump from the G3 2.1 MP front facing camera.

  • I love that LG just leaks all their stuff early. No guessing with Blurred out images or random leaked specs. Still not a fan of their skin, but I’ll be keeping an eye out for the G4
