You are looking for a flagship smartphone running Android Lollipop with a removable battery, as well as an expansion slot under the SD card, the place which was not found in Samsung Galaxy S6? Then you definitely should turn your attention to LG G4, and by the way, on this its advantages do not end.
In LG, they declare that everything in the new smartphone of the South Korean company "Already on a little bit", but better than the main competitors from Samsung and Apple.
When you first look at the G4, especially with a plastic lid behind, you will unwittingly do not leave the feeling that in front of you LG G3; And all because there are no special physical differences between the two generations of smartphones, unlike Samsung and Apple smartphones. With a thickness of 76.1 mm, a height of 148.9 mm, as well as a quad-hd screen of 5.5 inches G4 noticeably highlighted on the background of S6 and iPhone 6. Like the previous phones of the "G" line of the on / off buttons and the volume are rear Device. According to representatives of LG, the light bends of the G4 body allow you to keep your smartphone in your hands with great comfort and reliability.
LG G4 Overview: New flagship smartphone from South Koreans
The LG flagship becomes noticeably attractive when its rear panel goes into a leather handmade cover. While leather covers are available in red and brown. It should be noted that the technology of their production is identical to the production of expensive leather bags, and the main purpose is to protect the housing from splashes and scratches. And although such a cover does not provide 100% waterproof, they assure in LG that it will protect the smartphone from moisture from entering the rear panel for 30 minutes. In addition to the above colors, the manufacturer promises beige, blue and many other shades and designs for G4 covers.
Leather case protects the LG G4 case from moisture and scratch In our memory before that there was only one smartphone with a rear panel of natural skin coated - Moto X, which undoubtedly allocates G4 against the background of its main current competitors. In LG, it emphasizes that the skin is much better warrior heat than plastic, so the housing of your smartphone will emit pleasant warmth throughout the area of \u200b\u200bthe case, and not have "hot spots" during a serious load on its processor. In addition, with a leather back panel, your smartphone is less likely to slip out of your hands.
Screen and LG G4 camera
If you run into the "pixel" characteristics of the G4, you will involuntarily appear the question: "But what is such an outstanding 2560 pixel on the screen, 16-megapixel rear chamber and 8 megapixel frontal?"
We answer.
First, the LG G4 screen became the first LCD screen of the smartphone using the "quantum point" technology (eng. Quantum Dot), which is now actively used in the production of TV screens. Quantum dots are small crystals to significantly improve the quality of the transmitted colors. This technology first appeared in LG TVs, so there is nothing surprising that the LG product also became the first smartphone with this technology. In the South Korean company, they assure that such crystals allow the G4 screen to transmit a better quality range of colors in comparison with the oversaturated colors of the Galaxy S6 screen and "dry" LCD iPhone 6.
Secondly, the camera received an increased matrix, a diaphragm with a number F / 1.8, as well as manual setting mode, which allows you not only to set your own ISO, aperture and shutter speeds, but even removed in the RAW format. Together with the telephone LG, provides the user with its own software for quick and easy moving the falams on PC and MACs - very good news for Mac owners, as at the moment "Google" software Android File Transfer works with large "glitches" on cars Apple.
If you hold the comparisons of the G4 and S6 cameras, then, in our opinion, the colors of the photos of the flagship LG look more rich when shooting on the street, whereas in the room G4 shows the best white balance indicators, but loses S6 in the clarity of the pictures.
Snapdragon 808 processor
For power in G4, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 808 processor is responsible, similar to its characteristics with a lot of disputes that caused a lot of disputes 810th model installed in LG G Flex 2, but not four, but only two Cortex-A57 kernels.
Recall that Qualcomm claimed that Snapdragon 810 is a magnificent processor that has no overheating problems, but the fact remains a fact: the first two devices equipped with this chip (G Flex 2 and HTC One M9) were very overheated, proof was worth a hundred Complaints disappointed buyers, and the famous English-speaking portal ARS Technica and supposedly proposed to equip the 810th model with a special "damper" for ventilation, "so that the processor does not boil himself."
We were also able to check the G4 the following antutu, Sunspider and GFXBENCH performance tests. The result in the benchmark Antutu in 47759 points was very similar to the result of the Galaxy Note Edge equipped with the Snapdragon 805 processor and exceeded the SNAPDRAGON 810 chip indicators operating in G Flex 2. It is quite acceptable. However, more importantly, in our opinion, that G4 remained far behind the Samsung Galaxy S6, which scored 69797 points in the same test.
And what about graphics? When testing the GFXBENCH, the G4 smartphone was obtained to get 9.4fps using the screen and 15fps without using it, the indicators with the same Galaxy S6 and G Flex 2 benchmark were 15 and 22fps and 22 and 20fps, respectively. Ohh-ahi. It turned out to be the 808th chip LG G4 is not as strong in the chart as its main competitors.
One of the main trumps G4, according to LG, is that it shows the best responsiveness in working with applications rather than S6. According to LG, their new flagship quickly shows the folder with photos, quickly starts playing the video, quickly starts the camera, and also switches the back to the front chamber. At the same time, it is worth noting that the difference is the tenths of a second, which is completely insignificant and low.
LG G4 Reviews
You will not find significant external differences from the previous smartphone "G" - G3. In particular, it felt when you see a new LG flagship without a leather cover for the rear panel.
This is similar to comparing iPad 3 and iPad 4. However, the "filling" has undergone changes. For example, the G3 was the first smartphone equipped with the Quad-HD screen, which was an unbearable burden for a weaker Snapdragon 801 processor.
Despite the fact that G4's graphic tests showed itself not as good as I would like to significantly speed up the work of the user interface and standard applications to South Korets. This will necessarily notice users.
Leather back panel adds convenience. We are not in taste wide smartphones, but for many users large (in comparison with Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6) the G4 screen looks quite attractive. And in the end, LG managed to shut up for those dissatisfied, who constantly complained that the flagship smartphones could not be removed by the battery.
LG G4 - release date
LG G4 will appear on store shelves in May 2015. The price of the smartphone is not yet officially named, but you do not need to have seven spans in the forehead to assume that it will be at the level of its main competitors.
The novelty is the successor of the previous flagships of the company - LG G2 and G3, where the manufacturer applied a special layout of the controls on the back side. Also, rarely, which machine can boast the screen engaged in almost the entire front side ( 76% ) and at the same time a relatively small size of the hull ( 148.9 x 76,2 mm).
IN LG G4-H818 Company engineers have retained a classic component approach: Under a removable lid, the user gets convenient access to two connectors for Micro SIM and slot for memory card microSD (up to 128 GB).
A big plus is a removable lithium-ion battery capacity 3000 Mah.. This makes it possible not only to quickly replace it, but also a guarantee of complete de-energization of the apparatus in emergency cases.
G4 dimensions are somewhat larger than the predecessor, and the housing oven is more angular. However, to keep the device has become more convenient because of the slightly convex rear coverwhich goes well into the palm, and the faces bevelled to the face of the edge are better fixed by the pads of the fingers. It should be noted that G4 has a unique screen with light concaveWhat makes special comfort when working with the device and watch photos and videos.
Against the background of a huge number, there are little differed in externally and filling of models of smartphones, LG company decided to attract users special design in a new model. And the main element in it was the execution of the rear cap of the smartphone from genuine leather.
This design emphasizes the nobility of the material, the model belonging to the elite, and also provides pleasant tactile sensations of comfort. By the way, with a leather back lid, the smartphone does not slip at all in the hand - it can be almost vertically put on the open palm and it will remain on it, like glued.
At the same time, the model will look good both in men's and female hands, including in combination with male bowls and female handbags. By the way, the skin manufacturing technology is based on vegetable tanning, similar to those used in the manufacture of designer bags. This provides long-term protection against water and aggressive media.
As for the wear resistance and the conservation of the appearance, our test sample with a brown leather lid confirmed its good protected. The corners of the lid over time were slightly darkened and roammed, but no scope and roughness on the skin did not appear.
There are several colors of the back cover: brown, black and red. Smartphone can also be equipped with plastic lids of various colors and textures, for example, stylized under snow-white ceramics or grilled titanium. But the cost of a smartphone with a leather lid and plastic is the same.
Computing power
Along with the extravagant design, the device received a very powerful stuffing. Heart smartphone engineers chose six-core ARM V8 Qualcomm processor Snapdragon 808. Processor with X10 LTE. As a graphics processor used Adreno 418..
GPU clock frequency can reach 600 MHz.. RAM amount is 3 GBITA, of which are free in the state of the box - about 1.3 GBITA. The result of the Antunu test showed over 46 thousand points, which in the rating of 64-bit benchmark positions the device on 3 locations.
Given the output of the graphics on the ultra-high resolution of the Quad HD screen, it is a boat. As for the games, at the moment the smartphone will provide a comfortable frame rate (60 and higher) and graphics quality for any demanding game. The built-in smartphone memory is 32 GBITA.
Fantastic picture
LG G4-H818 applies a new LCD IPS Quantum. Screen 5.5 " Quad HD. (2560 x 1440.) with density points 538 DPI. The display is made according to the technology without an air layer between the glass and the matrix, which ensures the effect of the picture on the screen surface. In addition, in this display, LG engineers pretty worked on the improvement of color reproduction. In particular, it was as close as possible to the natural red and blue color as well white. Perhaps such natural and juicy shades are not found in any other LCD display.
Along with this, the screen has high brightness and contrast. Already 60% of brightness the picture is quite comfortable for perception during artificial lighting. At the same time, it will be difficult to find the device, the screen of which is capable of better display a picture during bright daylight.
Another pleasant quality of the new matrix is \u200b\u200bextremely uniform illumination. Surprisingly, but in the tests we could not detect the edges of the illumination zones.
The screen remains to add that it has a good anti-reflective coating, i.e. Your reflection is darkened and less rushes into the eyes. Also, there is a oleophobic coating that allows the fingers to easily slide on the glass and collect the fingerprints on it. The latter are easily brushed in one pass the napkin.
Professional approach to photo video
LG engineers are constantly improving the camera, not only in flagship models. So, in the chambers in G2 and G3, pleased with a very high quality picture, and in the latter was applied laser focus sensor and corrective shade outbreak.
In the new flagship, the developers went on and, in addition to the laser, equipped the camera infrared color spectrum sensor. It automatically analyzes all the shades of the color and corrects the camera settings before making a snapshot. This ensures that in the photo all the details will have their own natural shade, color and halftone.
A matrix is \u200b\u200bapplied in the chamber 16 megapixels and enlightened Optics with diaphragm F1.8.This can not boast many mirror cameras today. Such a large size of the diaphragm diameter allows you to apply more light onto a photosensitive matrix, which favorably affects the shooting modes, in particular, shutter speed is reduced, and this enhances the clarity and quality of parts even in low light conditions, noise decreases.
In the new camera, the manufacturer implemented " Manual mode" It gives a huge scope for creativity during artistic shooting and makes it possible to make real works of art from shots. In particular, it has the ability to adjust all settings, including focus, ISO sensitivity, exposure, aperture, white balance indicating the heat of the shade in Kelvin.
The user immediately sees the result of the adjustment, as well as the histogram from the light curve. Lovers of snapshots of the night city, the moon and stars will have to taste the possibility of setting an excerpt 30 s.
IN " Manual mode»User can set a picture of a picture of a snapshot Raw + Jpg.. The "raw" snapshot can be adjusted in a wide range of parameters, up to the replacement of colors and shades.
Another innovation in the G4 model has become an improved image stabilization system. OIS 2.0. Compensated the deviation angle is now equal to 2%.Also added stabilization along the z axisthat favorably affects focusing, including macro shot.
In the G4 front camera received permission 8 megapixelswhat makes it selfie from highly detailed posterior plan. This camera can be controlled by hand gestures and it can also highlight the face of a smartphone screen in a darkened shooting conditions.
As for shooting video, the presence of a high-resolution matrix, enlightened optics and a wonderful stabilization system, allows you to do not only video in Ultra HD. resolution but also zoom the objects of shooting In a wide range without losing the quality of the picture, if you set the HD mode. It should be noted that many owners of camcorders will envy such a shooting video.
Interface: All for user convenience
LG G4 from the box already comes with an installed OS Android 5.1. and branded interface that complements the capabilities of the operating system with convenient features and tools. This is the ability to turn on the device by a double tap on the screen, an informative notification panel with an indication of the battery charge in percentage and segment gradation of the GSM and Wi-Fi signal level.
Separately, praise deserves comfortable curtain with fast settings panel. It is worth thank the manufacturer for a thoughtful dialer with the possibility of recording conversations and inclusion of noise cancellation. It is possible to adjust the book of contacts and add a lot of information to them. Misters of social networks will highly appreciate the function of adding contact by search in various social networks.
Among the comfortable tools it is worth noting purification from garbage, disable background processes for saving charge backup In the cloud or on the memory card, the recorder, a new calendar with planning, hand notes QuickMemo +, remote control (in the smartphone there is an IK emitter) and a sports application where you can track your physical activity and receive tips on loads and nutrition.
Also, special thanks deserves the fact that the manufacturer left in the smartphone radio. The application has a nice interface, but only works with connected headphones, which in a set do not go. Radio is very sensitive and gives a good sound. There is an opportunity to record the ether.
The Radio application allows you to quickly configure a list of favorite radio stations. There is an opportunity to record the ether Qualitative sound
Sound in LG G4 surpassed all our expectations. The external speaker for the speaker is perfectly coping with a wide frequency range by issuing excellent bass and high frequencies. Musical compositions sound soft and purely, without any rattling.
The calling melodies and message signals are excellent and from the depths of the bag in a noisy room and from the far room. On the test sample, we set the sound at half the power, which was enough for urban conditions.
Clean battery
At the beginning of the review, we have already mentioned that the device is completed with a removable battery for 3000 mAh. During the test time, during which we started the application to test the performance several times, the photo and video shooting were transmitted, filed files via Wi-Fi and 4G (with active wireless manipulations, the smartphone was slightly heated - up to 40 degrees), the battery showed good loadproof . Namely, every two daysWhen intensive use, the smartphone is asked for charging. With an average load, the smartphone calmly live 3-4 days.
Accessories
With regard to accessories, it should be noted that the new LG G4 building is unique and its cover will be required for it. The manufacturer already offers bookcase covers with the porthole. When they are installed, the rear cover is replaced, but with the preservation of the NFC antenna.
The user will have to to choose - Save a spectacular leather back cover, or provide smartphone screen protection and perimeter, but replace the cover on the plastic.
The smartphone in various colors has already been on sale in communication salons for the price 39 990 rub.
