28 April 2015, LG unveiled its flagship smartphone, the G4. The basis of the device was a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor with two cores Cortex-A57, four Cortex-A53, graphics Adreno 418 and X10 built-in modem LTE. Not the most powerful model for 2015. The device comes with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB of flash memory. G4 supports external card form factor microSD.

The main design feature is a slight bend of the screen. And so we face a classic 5,5-domowy IPS display with a resolution of QHD (2560×1440 pixels). The main camera has a 16 MP front 8 MP. The battery is removable, but only 3000 mAh. Perhaps the low battery life is the main drawback of the smartphone.
