The LG G4 Is Speaking Volumes....
The LG G4 is the only phone.......
....... I have ever owned that has me truly content after 2 weeks with it. Usually by now I am researching my next flagship endeavor. As has been the pattern with manufacturers the last couple years, one or two areas of focus will go into the development and marketing process leaving the rest of the phone average at best thus creating an unbalanced device with a less the desirable user experience. After a couple weeks with a phone the truth begins to rear its ugly head and back to the store I go in search of a device that feels right. The cycle repeating itself over and over while my account keeps incurring phone lines and new contracts to fund my search .
All that has changed with my most recent purchase. I had the G3 and while I did think it was a good phone, something about the interface just didn't sit well with me. The user experience felt cheap and a little unpredictable. I've never really liked the LG system UI from a visual standpoint. It always felt kind of childlike to me, like it had not fully matured. It really affected the user experience for me. The G3 for me was like a phone that was in the adolescent period of an amazing concept. The G2, though I never owned it, was a phone with an amazing concept in its infancy. You get where I'm going right? The G4 is the fully matured version of that amazing concept. That concept being a perfectly balanced phone with no superstar components(minus the camera which is superstar all the way) but rather a phone with strategically placed and optimized components that compliment one another wonderfully, in a way that offers an impeccable user experience. With the G4, in my opinion, LG has found a way to find the perfect balance between build quality and functionality. I am offered the same great user experience every time I pick up the phone and use it. Much like an iPhone in that regard only with some personality. With the replaceable battery and memory expansion capability, this phone is a very dependable and future proof phone that a person could use for multiple years. It is an investment not an expense to hold you over until next year's flagship offering.
I can't say how I'm going to feel tomorrow, next week and certainly not next year. However, as of today,my 17th with the G4....... I am finally content with my phone. I have no desire to even entertain the thought of using another device and for me..... That speaks volumes.
