WiWavelength Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 He had to wait through all the LG iterations of Gx to finally make this joke! :-D Yep, you found me out. I joined S4GRU three years ago and bided my time through 13,000 posts -- just so I could finally make my LG G4 palindrome. Now, my only reason to live is the hope that "5G" will become a marketing term by the time the LG G5 is released. AJ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we'd moved on to front facing speakers in 2015. And 2.1mp "selfie" camera. Why not the 8mp they announced? Appears to have Qi charging though, hopefully without "optional back". I think I'm going to have to go with Samsung S6......or perhaps none at all until the fall crop. sent from an underwater dust storm from my Sprint S5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosefTor Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Had the S6 edge on pre-order but decided to not pick it up. I am trying to upgrade my Nexus 5 and although there are a LOT of things to still like about it, the camera is laughable, the battery life is terrible, and google still doesn't have split screen multitasking. The S6 has an awesome camera and I love their mobile payment solution (coming soon), but their battery life is bad, their rf performance seems lacking (more to come on this), their touchwiz skin with Flipboard integration is slow and ugly, the design is not comfortable to hold and, unless you get the edge, slightly dated looking in my opinion. The G4 on the other hand looks really nice in my opinion (except the leather backs which are fugly). It seems it will be very comfortable to hold. The camera appears to be better at least on paper. There is a large battery which is removable and expandable memory. On the negative, we still don't know about rf performance, how the speaker will sound, the CPU performance, etc. Because I don't want to live with regret, I decided to wait and forgo my free wireless samsung charger.

I'm sure Best Buy will continue to offer incentives for the S6 in the coming weeks. Afterall, Samsung wants to break sales records with the S6. My brother just got the S6 Edge and he really likes it. Also, the battery on it appears to be a bit better than his S5 was, at least in standby. I think waiting for the G4 is a wise move. The wireless charger is only a $60 difference so if they offer a $100 off 2/yr contract on the S6 later and you jump on it, you actually ended up saving more.

GoWireless Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I am hoping LG releases a highly-spec'ed non-phablet device to compete with the M9 and S6. I find that devices larger than say 5.2" are too large for single handed use and therefore I personally (and I suspect many others) won't consider purchasing them.

ImmerStark Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 The G3 isn't really all that much bigger in the hand than my GS5, 3mm wider iirc. The small bezel helps quite a bit. I also think those leather backs look sexy. The red one screams terminatrix. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericdabbs Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Well I was hoping for smaller LG G4 in the range of 5.2-5.3 inches but I guess it will have to be 5.5 inches. Still can't wait to see the official unveiling to get all the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jreuschl Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Seems like an impressive phone.. especially having removable battery and micro SD slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmark27 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Really disappointed that the backs don't have Qi built in, rear facing single speaker, AND perhaps no Quick Charge on these phones? But overall, I'm very impressed by this device and those camera tweaks seem like actual improvements and not just gimmicks. Look forward to the reviews and comparison in real life.....especially that RF information. So happy to see that removable battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
