LG G4 hands-on, first impressions

LG Mobile today announced the successor to the venerable LG G3 with special focus on refining the details and improving on the camera optics for the LG G4. We attended the regional launch here in Singapore and went straight to our actual hands-on impressions.

The G4 still had a lot of things in common with its predecessor. LG used the original design and form factor of the G3, from the 5.5-inch display and the Rear Key.

LG explicitly communicated that they don’t want the G4 to look like just any other smartphone (referencing the design similarities of the iPhone 6 and Galaxy S6) thus the approach to realizing a premium feel is by using an authentic leather (as against the faux leather that Samsung introduced last year).

And it’s pretty evident. The look and feel of the leather back cover exudes elegance and premium feel. Perhaps, the LG G4 might be one of the very few devices you don’t want to wrap with a case or cover.

Aside form the leather cover, LG also has a standard ceramic finish back cover with a diamond pattern. We were told that the pricing for the two cover designs will be significantly different.

The LG G4 is available in handcrafted, full grain leather in six beautiful colors. The vegetable tanned leather is not only environmentally friendly but also luxurious, using genuine leather instead of the usual faux material that other smartphones use. Other material options for the G4 rear cover are pure Ceramic White with 3D patterns, artisan-forged Metallic Gray and lustrous Shiny Gold.

Compared to the G3, the LG G4 looks similar from the front side. The design of the Rear Key is more similar with the G Pro 2 rather than the G3. The bezels are as thin as the G3 with a screen-to-body ratio of 72%.

The rest of the improvements introduced by LG are harder to distinguish unless we inspect closer.

LG di not share pricing for regional but we’re expecting a release date of end of May or first week of June for the Philippines.

LG G4 price confirmed to cost higher than Galaxy S6

The awaited LG G4 was recently priced for pre-orders in South Korea and it apparently costs more than the Samsung Galaxy S6. Find out why right after the break.

lg-g4-leather

LG G4 was listed over at SK Telecom and T World Direct’s website (South Korea’s local carriers) with an asking price of $825 (approx. Php36.4K). This puts the new flagship $30 more expensive than the 32GB Galaxy S6 when it came out. Although do take note that an official representative from LG Electronics pointed out that the listed price isn’t entirely final, but would most likely be in the same range.

The company’s representative also mentioned that this is because LG G4 is poised to be more of a Galaxy S6 Edge competitor because of its advanced camera, premium form factor, among other things — putting it in the position to demand a higher tag than the S6.

So far, it’s been revealed that the new LG G4 will tout a 5.5-inch QHD IPS Quantum display, Snapdragon 808 CPU, 3GB RAM, a 16MP rear camera, 3000mAh removable battery, and a microSD slot. It will be formally launched in a few days so keep on checking this page for the official specs when it arrives.
