My Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has started to play up with constant screen redraws, huge lag and overall clunky performance. I had the Note 2 and 3 previously so have been somewhat a loyal Samsung man.
I am not entirely convinced by the current crop of flagship smartphones for a variety of reasons but mainly due to the lack of removable battery and microSD card support. I eventually settled on the LG G4 and thankfully I managed to source a red leather LG G4 for £229, which is total bargain in my eyes.
My super initial impressions after a four days of use are overwhelmingly positive (in no particular order):
1. This is an extremely fast phone and significantly quicker than my old Note 4. I'm experiencing zero lag but then that might just be because it is a fresh phone. Apps install and update quicker as well which is a bonus
2. I thought the plastic would be an issue but it really has not. I think the red leather back has a lot to do with this
3. The form factor is excellent. It is a relatively compact phone and does not weigh much
4. Even the allegedly terrible LG UI is not bothering me too much. Indeed not at all! I guess I had not realised quite how heavy going TouchWiz was until I used another device for some time.
5. Love the camera! No much more to be said over and above all comments made thus far
6. I have obviously been using AMOLEDs exclusively for the past few years and I am enjoying the more 'natural' tones of the LG G4
All in all a great phone which I now understand why has been so strongly reviewed.
