LG’s Coming G4 Smartphone Offers High Style, Performance

by Todd R. Weiss

The new G4 features a 5.5-inch quad HD IPS Quantum display and a Qualcomm 1.8GHz 64-bit six-core processor, which includes a state-of-the-art integrated X10 LTE wireless modem for excellent connectivity and an Adreno 418 graphics processing unit.

The G4 is the first smartphone to use LG Display’s new 5.5-inch IPS Quantum display, which offers 20 percent greater color reproduction, a 25 percent improvement in brightness and 50 percent greater contrast than previous displays.

The G4, which also includes 3GB of RAM and a 3,000mAh removable battery and which runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop, can be purchased with ceramic or leather rear covers. The ceramic-backed phones are available in Ceramic White with 3D patterns, Metallic Gray or Shiny Gold.

A powerful 16MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera give G4 users great photographic capabilities. The rear camera performs well even under low-light conditions, using an F1.8 aperture lens and improved OIS 2.0 image stabilization.

The new G4’s leather rear covers can help show the personality and style of its owner. The handcrafted, full-grain leather-covered smartphones are available in black, brown, red, sky blue, beige or yellow.

Also included in the G4 is LG’s latest human-centric UX 4.0 user interface, which promises to be simpler and more intuitive to better understand and respond to the needs of users. The improved UX eliminates unnecessary steps while providing more configuration options for advanced users.

LG will also offer optional Folio protective cases to add style and protection to the G4 smartphones. The new phones measure 5.86 inches long, 2.99 inches wide and 0.24 to 0.38 inches thick, depending on their covering materials.
