Just felt the need to give this phone some positive feedback after jumping to Samsung for a few months and hating almost every minute of it.
I had the LG G3 before but was given a Galaxy Note 4 for work. So sold the G3, but after 4 months with the Note 4 I just have to get rid of it, it's just not a good phone, especially considering the hefty price tag.
Thought the LG G3 was great, but the screen was a little lacking in the brightness department. Mine also got a little hot at times, but apart from that it was a pleasure to use.
The G4 so far has fixed both of those issues, the screen is much brighter, has beautiful colours and feels a speedier than the G3 too. Prior to purchase I was a little worried because it's a little bigger than the G3, being a bit thicker and larger bottom bezel, but it actually feels similar to hold to the G3 and the larger bottom section means your thumb can reach the home keys easier. The edges aren't as round so it's not quite as comfy to hold, but still feels nice in the hand and manageable (quite an accomplishment on a phone with a 5.5" display) . Got the one with the leather back which I think helps a lot with the premium feel, and no real need for a case either (the G3 was a bit slippery without a case).
Have no idea why Samsung's are so popular, much prefer the whiter whites of this IPS display rather than Samsung's AMOLED, but guess that's personal preference. It's the software that did it for me though, Samsung's on the Note 4 (a very expensive phone) was so laggy despite all the fixes and suggestions to speed it up. Plus it's just too big, uncomfortable and the fingerprint scanner was poor. The only good thing about the Note 4 was the battery life and the IR blaster as it outperformed the LG on both. I'm not 100% happy with the look of LG's UI either (just the ugly square icons really), but have been using Nova launcher for the last couple of years so that fixes that. Knock code is great though, so much quicker than fumbling for an unlock button.
If the battery lasted a little better and it had a fingerprint reader as good as the iPhone's, it would be almost perfect. Perhaps a metal frame too but perhaps that's asking too much.
Would be interested to know other people's experiences with this phone. Thanks!
