Seeming lack of interest for the LG G4?

[sulla1965]

I'm seriously considering the G4, but I don't seem to see too much interest here on the forum. I'd expect a lot more activity here. Or is this just my perception? Thanks

Re: Seeming lack of interest?

Probably just perception if you're comparing it to the buzz the S6 and S6 Edge created. Also, expect the forums to be more active once the phone comes out or at least a date is set. You can bet you'll be able to find good reviews and info on the AC Blog

There's been plenty of interest and a bunch of G4 articles on AC and other sites. I'm definitely interested and will get the G4 as soon as it's available if battery life is better than G3.

I'm pretty interested. Even sold my droid turbo already for this while I could get a good trade for it still. But really besides arguing the 808 vs 810 processor, its not as if there has been any surprises or substantialy new info the last week or two. Would like to see a slightly better battery since the preliminary specs have the same battery as the G3 by all accounts. Surely a little bump wouldn't be so hard, esp with all the new powerhouse batteries coming out.

And speak of the devil, it seems LG noticed what you noticed... and decided to do something about it. Nice promo, huh? Too bad it doesn't seem to be global (yet)

Hope they bring that promotion to the states. I'd be happy with just free screen replacement for a year.

Once it is actually out you will see lots of interest in it.

This phone will be the one to beat until the note 5 is released.. and maybe even then if it is all they claim it to be.

Re: Seeming lack of interest?

LG G3 is still lauded by many as the best phone available (no, I'm not one of them I think the Note 4 is ), so yeah, the G4 better 'bring it'.

I expected more hype and rumours, but the expected changes won't be as significant as that expected of the M9 or S6.

I've done the same thing - sold my Turbo and back to the S5. Hopefully the G4 pans out with some good specs and quick availability.

Yup, the camera on the Turbo was ridiculous. I can't tell you how many awful shots I wasted and all the ways you needed to try to "trick" the turbo into getting a useable pic. So this seems to be a huge upgrade. Camera and battery life are my 2 big points, and while this seems to be a smaller battery, a removable extra seems to solve that issue. I have high hopes for this!

After using the Turbo for a few months and now the S5 again, I can really tell the difference with camera shutter lag on the Turbo.

I am looking forward to next week. On a side note, have you read anything where the availability is supposed to be almost immediate? I swear I read something about it and I can't find it now.

Re: Seeming lack of interest?

I am interested...but at this point, I could careless about leaked specs and rumors. Looking to the official announcement.

Re: Seeming lack of interest?

Well that's only a week away. Soooooo close....

May 31st for what? Release? If so, that's a Sunday and most US carriers don't launch then.

EDIT: This article shows 31 May for release in South Korea:

LG to launch new flagship G4 phone on May 31 - CNET

Yeah article states south Korea. I wonder if us gets it earlier or later? With the big reveal April 28, doesn't make sense to introduce it then put it on the shelf for over and month or two.

Yeah, it does say the G3 launched in South Korea first last year. I sure hope this isn't going to be the case for us - I'm ready for a new device.

The S6 is out of the running now?
