Lg g4

One of the most anticipated phones of the year, the LG G4, has already been unveiled after months of intense rumors. There have not been too many surprises. A model with a natural leather casing is confirmed, as well as another with a ceramic chassis. The company thus boasts an Android that we are sure will give a lot to talk about. Not only because it is at the level of others like the Samsung Galaxy S6 or the HTC One M9, but also because its design does not go unnoticed at all. We tell you all the details.

Display and layout

LG has incorporated into its LG G4 a slightly curved screen with a diagonal of 5.5 inches and QHD resolution. We can say that the company does not want to repeat the failure it had with the LG G3, which did not give the results that were expected. To avoid this, the South Korean would have integrated the Quantum Display system . This technology allows unmatched quality when viewing content on the terminal. To give you an idea, we can get up to 20% more colors or 25% more brightness.

In terms of design, the LG G4 has plenty of elegance and sophistication. You can choose a natural leather shell, available in six different colors: burgundy, yellow, gray, blue, brown and black. Those who prefer another type of material, LG has also thought of you and will launch its new flagship in a ceramic casing. There will not be so many colors to choose from, only three, although quite striking: bronze, metallic gray and metallic white. The LG G4 is not what is called a slim device, nor is it excessively light. It still has a thickness of 8.9mm and a weight of 155 grams. Even so, it will not be uncomfortable to carry or carry in your pocket.

Camera and multimedia

The rumors have hit the mark. The camera of the LG G4 up to 16 megapixels, a resolution that we have seen in other terminals, such as in the S6 Galaxy from Samsung. It seems that it will be the most acclaimed feature and soon we will see many comparisons that will confirm it. And is that, LG has integrated a sensor (Color Spectrum) 40 percent larger and a lens with aperture f / 1.8.This results in much brighter and brighter images. We also find an optical image stabilizer and an improvement in the speed when taking a photograph, which allows us to capture it in just 0.6 seconds. The Asian firm has also included the Quick Shot function , which is very similar to the Quick Launch that we have already seen in the new Galaxy S6. This function allows us to access the camera in a much faster way, in this case by pressing the button that is located on the back of the housing twice in a row.

On the front camera, LG has incorporated an 8 megapixel module, improving gestural shooting. Now taking selfies is going to be much more comfortable. On the other hand, if you are looking for a terminal that allows you to record good quality videos, this is yours. The LG G4 also offers us 4K video recording. In addition, it records them with stereo sound, a feature very in its favor. Unlike other manufacturers, LG still mounts the speaker at the rear. It would not be bad for the company to consider doing it at the front so that the sound reaches us better. In terms of multimedia functions, the device includes the basic ones, including FM radio tuner, which is still appreciated.

Power and memory

We can finally get out of doubts regarding the processor and, as expected, LG has completely discarded the Snapdragon 810, replacing it with an inferior model. The chosen SoC has been a Snapdragon 808, a six-core that runs at 1.8 Ghz. It has an Adreno 418 graphics processor and is accompanied by 3GB of RAM, a perfect figure for us to move heavy applications with enough ease.

The LG G4 will land on the market with 32 Gb of storage capacity . Don't expect a version with 16GB or 128GB. Those of you who need more space can use a MicroSD memory card of up to 128GB or register in Google Drive, to have cloud storage. The company offers 100GB free for two years.

Operating system and applications

The LG G4 will be governed at the time of its launch by Android 5.1, the latest version of Google's mobile platform, which has different improvements and additions. Thanks to Lollipop, users can enjoy a device much faster and with greater autonomy. We will also find the new version of its interface: LG UX 4.0. The most notable feature of the new personalization layer is Smart Bulletin, which unifies notifications from many applications and brings them together on the same screen. Also mention the improvement in the Smart Notice panel ,which now displays the most important information. For their part, lovers of social networks will be able to make use of Event Pocker, a function with which we will be able to add those events that interest us directly to our calendar. None of us will be forgotten from now on.

Connectivity and autonomy

The new high-end from LG offers multiple connections to make our experience with the device much more comfortable. We can connect to high-speed networks, but also to traditional 3G and WiFi. The LG G4 also integrates DLNA, NFC, GPS antenna and Bluetooth 4.1. It also has a MicroUSB 2.0 port with the possibility of connecting an HDMI cable , as well as the usual 3.5 mm plug so that we can make use of the headphones we want.

The terminal battery is 3,000mAh. It is removable and allows wireless charging. At the moment, the company has not given data on the use that we can make with this device, although everything indicates that it will last a whole day without problems. On the other hand, the saving mode will make it easier for us to extend its autonomy at times when we cannot charge the device.

Availability and opinions

The LG G4 has already begun to be marketed in its native South Korea. For now, the company has not reported when it will begin to distribute it in other parts of the world. It is expected to happen in the next few weeks. There is no specific data on the price, although it is expected to range between 600 and 700 euros, a figure that is not too surprising. It is the usual in this type of device.

LG has done an excellent job with its new flagship. It has improved the previous edition thanks to the camera and other sections, such as the design, although without losing the essence that characterizes it. Despite the fact that the processor is not one of the most powerful on the market, something unusual in high-end terminals, it promises good performance. We are sure that it will respond without problems in which one of the great devices of this 2015 is emerging.
