stupid button placement tbh

I hope LG has learned from their software fuckups on the G2.

From what I read, it's a lighter and cleaner UI

1440 on a fucking phone??? Can you even tell at that size?

That, plus you have to wonder how much battery life that display will consume as compared to a 1080 screen.

[DJR210]

It has a 3000 mah battery at least

Battery tests looking good so far

Looks like a sick phone, I'd consider it.

And I've read that you can adjust to odd button placement quite easily

And it's nice to see more OEM phones with on screen nav buttons
(cough Samsung)

The Arstechnica one is interesting because it echoes my concerns about that screen:



-The Battery life during high usage. The screen uses a lot of power. It sucks down power to the point that LG has to throttle down the brightness when the device gets too hot.
-It's pretty much impossible to tell the difference between 1080p and 1440p on a ~5-inch device.
-The UI sometimes stutters. Pushing all those pixels takes lots of GPU power that isn't always available.

Yeah it uses a lot of juice

I wonder if a software update can fix that

I should have waited for the G3 but I'm extremely happy with the G2 considering that I upgraded from the 3GS. :lmao

I can upgrade to the G3 but I think I'll wait for the G4.

Plus, if you are rooted, the G3 ROM has been ported to the G2

Just got the leather back G4 from T-mobile.. pretty nice phone so far. Great price too, at 449.00 with the lease program I didn't pay shit, not even the taxes, and I can upgrade my phone 3 times in the next 18 months if I choose :tu

God damn S6 Edge is like 8 bills, fuck that :lol

G4 is nice but too big for me tbh

I picked up the G4 on Saturday. Loving it thus far. This camera is seriously good.

Yeah, its the best I've used on a phone.

Still loving my G3. Not a single problem.

my wife just got the G4. Good value for the money. I was trying to get her to give it to me by saying "I know that phone is too big for you, so I'll sacrifice and take the G4 and you van have my S6. I truely thing I wouldn't mind the slight downgrade in camera if it meant a bigger screen.

The camera in the G4 has actually been rated better than the s6 everywhere I have seen, if I'm understanding you correctly..

In a small part because of the camera, and in large part because of the buttons being in the back of the phone, which is great for southpaws such as myself, were I to go back to Android from Windows Phone, the LG G series phone would likely be the route I take... The only thing I'd be missing from Samsung would be the Note's S pen, and even that isn't enough to overcome the lack of microSD expansion and removable battery...

But, unless it dies, I'll be rocking my Lumia 1520 for a while... Good battery life, a damn good camera and a physical camera button keep me around WP... Here is hoping Windows 10 mobile upgrade is a good one...

The G3 is awesome. The G4 just takes everything about it and does it a bit better, except for the camera which is worlds apart from anything outside of an S6.

The cameras are really close from everything I've read, except in low-light. The G4 is supposed to destroy all comers in low light. f1.8 is no joke. I shoot pretty seriously on the side and a 1.8 lens is a monster.

I've seen them basically put on even terms. The S6 does some things better, but the real kicker for me is the manual controls. I know what I'm doing with a camera, so the ability to manipulate images is going to set me up for using this beast for a long time.

For me the deal breaker on the S6 was the battery. After 2 years your batt life takes a nosedive. God forbid you go somewhere without your charger. It's nice to have an immediate backup available.

Everything I've read has the s6 edging out the g4... I just did a quick Google search and the first three comparisons validated that.
