Phablet size screen in a phone size body ; Outstanding camera ; Great screen ; microSD slot and removable battery

Lacks the quality feel of metal competitors ; Average battery life

Decent camera ; Color-rich display ; Strong spec list

Camera launcher not fast enough ; Poor battery life for flagship phone ; Unimpressive build

LG has tried to focus on what everyone actually wants out of a smartphone, a great looking design, color rich display and the great camera for photos - but it doesn't quite deliver as impressively as we'd hoped.

Stunning screen Strong video performance Engaging sound High-res music support Great camera Expandable storage Removable battery

Not quite the best battery life of them all

We admire the LG G4 for daring to do something different. That leather back may not be to everyone’s taste, but it’s a refreshing change that makes the phone stand out. The audio quality may not be up there with the class leaders, but this is more than...

Great screen ; Amazing camera ; Cute weather updates

Leather and plastic?! ; Poor battery life ; Chunky design

Great display with plenty of resolution real-estate, competitively priced as flagships go, camera is as good as modern smartphones get

Battery life not great (much like G3), big for a phone (larger than G3), LG UX interface feels over fussy, no fingerprint scanner

The LG G4 has heaps of positives going for it: from the leather finish options, excellent camera performance, through to the ultra-subtle curve and that bold, colour-packed 5.5-inch screen. Just because it doesn't opt for the most powerful processor on...

LG has gone down an unexpected route with leather models which we like apart from a couple of colours. The so called ceramic model will be cheaper but feels cheap and plasticky. On the whole, hardware is once again strong - particularly the camera -...

Great, versatile camera ; Sharp and vivid screen ; Leather back feels neat ; Packed with smart tech

Disappointing battery life ; Not as expensive-feeling as S6 or M9

The LG G4 is a treat for camera fans and those who want something that looks and feels that bit different

As we haven’t had any hands on time with the Sony Xperia Z4 as it is yet to be announced in the UK, we can’t say definitively which phone is better. With that being said, it depends on what you use your phone for – the LG G4 seems to be the better...

Overall we're quite surprised to see that the iPhone 6 and LG G4 are reasonably evenly matched in a way. They both have stand-out features as well as downfalls, so it's going to be a case of weighing up the features you consider to be most important in...

The LG G4 has a sharp and generously sized display, a bevy of camera controls and raw image shooting, a replaceable battery and expandable storage.

Though the phone's battery life is adequate, it doesn't last as long as its competitors. There are no significant new software features and its design feels uninspired.

Though it feels too similar to last year's G3, the LG G4 is an excellent big-screen smartphone that will appeal to budding photographers, and has old-school features missing from rival flagships.
