amazon LG G4 reviews
Appearence
On design, compared with its predecessor G3, the LG G4 smartphone, with a smoother screen, is still fairly neat and handy with just the right hands. It should be noted that the LG G4 screen is also slightly curved so if you have not used the previous curved screen smartphone, the user will feel the machine seems a bit weak.
However, once you are familiar with this design, you will feel the curved design of the LG G4 quite comfortable for one-handed operation, as well as the need to quickly put to the bag in the pants jeans.
Overall, the looks of the LG G4 have nothing to complain. However, subjective to say, plastic shell design really makes this super piece of value lost if the user placed on the LG G4 beside to other super products such as Samsung Galaxy S6, Apple iPhone 6 or HTC One M9.
Screen
As mentioned, the LG G4 features a 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 1,440×2,560 pixels, a pixel density of 538ppi, the exterior is also reinforced with Gorilla Glass 3.
Compared with the LG G3 brother, the LG G4 also supports Quad HD resolution, but generally the picture quality looks sharper. The LG G4 also has a high screen brightness, which is enough to improve the display quality when it is used outdoors in the sun, even setting the brightness at 50%.
Particularly in terms of color, the 5.5 inch screen on the LG G4 generally looks quite enticing. However, according to objective evaluation of Test Lab, the colors are somewhat too saturated, especially in pink and red.
LG does not currently support the LG G4’s color screen customization functionality as some other products on the market.
Speakerphone
The LG G4 has a unique speaker design on the back of the machine. Speaker positions can generally be obscured by hands when held or when placed on a table. However, actual use shows that the quality of speakers is quite good and not the phenomenon of “noise” as some other products.
Unfortunately, the sound quality of the speakerphone is not as good as expected. Fortunately, LG G4 has included a headset for good sound quality, quite passive noise cancellation (due to the in-ear headphone design).
Performance
The LG G4 features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 64-bit 64-bit, 3GB RAM, integrated Adreno 418 graphics. Compared with the LG G Flex 2, super-product LG G4, although equipped with less powerful processor, but actually used to show that the machine took less than 2 seconds to start the camera. Throughout the trial, Test Lab also did not experience jerky when switching screen pages, switching apps in the background, or opening two windows at the same time.
However, the Snapdragon 808 processor probably will not be as powerful as the SoC Snapdragon 810 model that is equipped on the HTC One M9 as well as the LG G Flex 2. Overall benchmark performance scores as well. Graphics performance has proven this. Specifically, the GeekBench multi-core processor performance test showed that the LG G4 scored 3,398 points, lower than the 3.787 of the HTC One M9 tested by Test Lab before.
However, the LG G4 still has enough to handle everyday tasks, from multi-tab browsing, high-quality online movies or gaming.
However, it should be noted that if you turn off the graphics effects on some awesome graphics game as Dead Trigger 2, LG G4 still inevitably shocked when the player faces a game surrounded by siege army of zoombie around.

Camera
Test Lab values the focus and autofocus speed of the LG G4 when trying to take pictures using automatic mode – basic. The shooting speed of the main camera also deserves a plus from the Test Lab.
In most testing contexts for almost two days of product testing, the Lab also found the 16MP camera on the LG G4 to be quite honest.
In addition to shooting mode with fully automated settings, the LG G4 also supports manual shooting modes like high-end compacts.
Users can also easily find other shooting options such as Panorama, HDR, integrated shooting (combined with front and rear camera capture), voice capture, RAW capture on the capture interface by default of 4K machine or recording, slow motion recording is quite interesting.
Battery life
Although there are not many opportunities to use the machine as well as testing to evaluate the battery life of this super, but according to experience and practical use, Test Lab does not appreciate the battery life of the product is not true. Much improvement over previous predecessors.
But if you use a computer to play heavy graphics games and browse the web with a screen brightness set at 50%, 3,000mAh built-in battery life is still enough to hold up more than 7 hours. Especially when used normally, mainly to hear calls, text messages, take pictures with less than 100 sheets sometimes using flash, the integrated battery on the LG G4 can “survive” for 12 hours while still Left nearly 50% of battery capacity.
Unfortunately, the charger attached to the machine does not support fast charging, so the Test Lab took nearly 3 hours to fully charge the battery from the remaining 20% capacity.
Operating system
The LG G4 is preloaded with the Android 5.1 operating system with the LG Optimus UX 4.0 UI user interface. Basically, the user interface of LG also brings a lot of wear and tear with Samsung’s TouchWiz interface. The LG G4 has a built-in 2-screen default and a feature-rich user interface that gives users quick updates on features such as Smart Notice – which provides the most basic instructions on how to use the device. Notice that the game may cause faster battery drain. Also in this screen interface, LG is focused on monitoring user health, work schedule or machine settings under the Smart Settings installed.
According to the subjective assessment of Test Lab, the user interface of the LG G4 is not too difficult to get to know both new users as well as users are familiar with the Android platform 4.4 or lower than before.
However, the default layout of the application icons, widgets looks pretty heavy and the machine does not have many theme sets for users to choose, customize the way you love.
