LG G4 Impressions!

The LG G4 impressions capture Marques Brownlee’s quick hands on take after attending the New York launch. The video emphasizes the phone’s design evolution, noting a curved display glass, lighter profile, and a mix of materials including metal sides and a back available in several textures such as leather, ceramic, and a diamond-patterned plastic. Brownlee stresses that the leather-backed variant in black is his preferred feel due to a smooth finish and a visible stitched seam along the back, while acknowledging the notch on the side for easy grip. A key point is that the G4 preserves user serviceability with a removable back, a 3000 mAh battery, and expandable microSD storage, which also allows wireless charging but lacks quick charging. The spotlight then shifts to the core upgrades: a 5.5 inch Quad HD IPS Quantum display described as vivid, bright, and highly contrasty, and a camera system LG touts as DSLR-like with a fast laser autofocus, f1.8 aperture, 16 megapixels, optical image stabilization, and a color spectrum sensor to improve white balance. The camera software gains speed with a quick double tap on the volume down button to launch the app, and the overall hardware and software pairing is presented as top tier for a launch device. Brownlee signals a forthcoming full review to thoroughly test battery life and camera performance, invites audience questions for the full test, and previews a progressive evaluation of features such as the display, camera quality, and daily usability.
