**The LG G4: A Smartphone Review**

Not that you're going to find a 2 TB SD card anywhere, it's great to see considering many other manufacturers are removing this all together. You do only have 32 GB of onboard storage and this is the only option available but that really shouldn't be much of a problem because of the option of expandable storage. The removable back also gives you access to a 3,000 milliamp replaceable battery which is pretty good. You're looking at around 4 and 1/2 hours of on screen time on medium use so this should get most users through the day but if you are a heavy user then I'd recommend getting a spare which you can pop in if needed.

Having spares becomes even more relevant for heavy users as unfortunately there is no fast charging available. This is something that I did find myself missing as I've gotten used to fast charging from other devices however if you are someone who just charges your phone overnight then this really won't be much of an issue. Wireless charging is not available out the box but you can get a quick Circle case at an additional cost which will give you wireless charging.

In terms of performance, you have the snap s dragon 808 which has six cores and 3 GB of RAM so they didn't go with the Snapdragon 810 and although the G4 doesn't score as high in benchmarks compared to other devices there really wasn't any noticeable lag in my experience and I found it to be very smooth. The software has been optimized nicely, you do have the LG UI on top of Android Lollipop which is okay in my opinion not my favorite Android skin however it does have some nice features clip trait is still one of my favorite features on the LG UI where you can have multiple items on your clip board rather than just one at a time as with most of the devices and there's also a dual window which works very similarly to Samsung's multi-window although they aren't many supported apps at the moment hopefully we will have some more soon.

Smart Notice gives you some useful info like weather updates and telling you if there's any particular apps that are taking up too much battery but I didn't really find myself using this much so overall not a bad software experience uh but not my favorite now I've saved the best to the last and that is the cameras. You have a 16 megapixel rear facing camera with OIS 2.0 laser autofocus, a color spectrum sensor, and an f1.8 aperture which I believe is one of the largest apertures on any smartphone and you know what it's great definitely one of the best smartphone cameras out there.

I have done a more detailed camera review of the G4 which will be linked below as well as some side by side comparisons with the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the iPhone 6 Plus so do go ahead and check those out but to sum it up the G4 produces some awesome images with great colors and tons of detail. To top things off you also have an advanced manual mode which lets you control things like your focus, white balance, ISO, shut speed which many other smartphones don't have and you can also save in RAW format which is great for editing later.

The story is the same for the front-facing camera too, you've got 8 megapixels and it's not too wide which I actually like and you also get some awesome detail one of the best selfie cameras out there. Once again for more details about the cameras and more examples check out my other videos which will be linked below.

Finally in terms of availability, you're looking at around end of June maybe sometime and the prices have not yet been confirmed but I would expect standard Flagship pricing so the LG G4 overall I think this is an awesome smartphone. You've got a brilliant display some awesome cameras front and back and you still have expandable storage and a removable battery something a lot of Manufacturers are getting rid of these days so if you are in the market for a new smartphone I'd have no problem recommending the LG G4 to you.

I'm Saf on Super Saf TV, by the way I'm wearing a blazer because I'm just going to be heading out to a wedding this is my dedication. Just thought I'd film this segment before heading out so yeah probably aren't watching this anyway cuz you've probably already done one of other things but just thought I'd tell you anyway catch you later

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up YouTube saf here on super saf TV and this is my full review of the LG G4 now if you've been following me on social media then you probably already know that I've been very impressed with this device and it's one of my favorite devices of 2015 so far why is that well let's find out so you have a 5.5 in IPS quantum display with a qu HD resolution giving it a very high PPI pixel density of 500 38 and I would say this is one of the best displays out there it's bright vibrant with great sharp detail and the screen is very slightly curved which doesn't really add to the viewing experience but makes the phone a little bit more durable to face down drops compared to other flat phones the curve also goes over to the back which actually makes it quite comfortable in the hand and along with those thin bezels and LG's trademark button placement on the back it doesn't feel as large as other devices which have the same screen size iPhone 6 Plus now my review unit has the metallic gray back which looks okay I think but it is pretty slippery in the hand however as many of you will already know the Highlight design feature of the G4 is the genuine leather version I had a chance to play around with the leather version at the launch event and in my opinion it looks very slick stands out from the crowd and gives it some very good grip so I would definitely recommend the leather version now for those of you who are not a fan of the leather back that's not a problem because you can replace or switch the back cover in future if needed this also means that you have access access to expandable storage up to 2 TB not that you're going to find a 2 TB SD card anywhere and it's great to see considering many other manufacturers are removing this all together you do only have 32 GB of onboard storage and this is the only option available but that really shouldn't be much of a problem because of the option of expandable storage the removable
