How is your experience with the speaker? Is it loud and what about the clarity?

i want to know about this as well. i have an m8 and i'm in the market for a replacement, but i require a speedy camera and speakers you can actually hear. i'm hoping this is "the one" :)

I know it is early but ... Could you see this as a great daily driver?

I'm a big fan of the G3, and so far I like what I see here. Leather back feels nice, camera may not be quite as good as the S6 but it's damn close, and while the screen isn't super great in direct sunlight few phones are. As long as the battery doesn't turn out to be garbage, I could totally see using this as my daily for a while.

Price? If LG really put G4 on $825 as rumored, then I'm done upgrade my phone, better buy cheaper phone such Zenfone 2.

Yeah, you'll have no problem hearing these speakers. They get LOUD. Like, easily louder than the HTC One M9. The G4 speakers aren't quite as deep sounding as the M9, but there's a good mid focus that sounds decent. This speaker is more than capable of filling my tiny office with music.

Since you have the T-mobile variant (yay!) what options do you have for quick toggles in the notification shade? And does the notification shade come down in 2 pulls (like stock lollipop) or 1 pull (like Samsung). I am particularly interested in knowing if T-mobile has removed the wifi hotspot shortcut from another phone for no good reason...

Any other impressions of software (does it get in the way? can you make it more or less like stock with a launcher and some replacement apps etc.) would be much appreciated!

Do you get the inclination that the leather will easily get dirty with time?

I doubt it. Leather is pretty resilient stuff, and this is actual leather. You'd have to do something fairly gross to stain this permanently.

It'll get dirty like leather. :p

Sorry, I had to. But seriously, if it's as genuine as LG says, it'll wear just like any other leather does.

I didn't know the Brown Leather was T-Mobile Exclusive. I got this in my email from my G4 sign-up.

It's a one-pull shade, and attached is the stock TMO offering. The ain't stuff can obviously be removed, but there's boo second pull option.

Low light shots to test the OIS against the S6?
Speaker volume against the S6?
And some comments about headphone jack sound quality

Thanks!

How is it with macro shots? I have Note 4 and Samsungs could never focus on very close up images.

I realize that your G4 is running pre-release software but I was wondering a couple of things...

Is the software throttling as aggressive on the G4 as it was on the G Flex 2?
AND
How is the call quality when compared to the G3 on cellular and Wi-Fi calling? (if you guys have had a chance to try those out yet.)

I also want to know more about the qi charging. their official site says you need the circle case.
so will that be the only case if you want qi, and then no leather option?
and how much will we have to fork out for the super special case?

I think the most important questions are battery life and performance.
I know benchmarks don't mean everything, but any chance of a quick antuttu score?

Any feeling on if this is really going to give the over one day battery life they are touting?
