Some might just chose the more conventional black to fit in. They have different colours but the tan is a bit of a shocker. It has a nice, real touch to it as compared to the metallic or plasticky feel that we usually associate with phones.The longer you hold the phone, the better it feels but don't expect the leather to become softer and even better to hold as it ages – it has been thinned and those are the limits imposed by cellphone design. The leather back, on the other hand, feels wonderful. Even after using the phone for two weeks, the button never quite felt natural. But for first time LG flagship phone users this can pose a problem – not being able to locate the power button – as I observed when I saw a few colleagues struggling to locate it. Perhaps too clean.ĭouble tapping the screen does wake up the phone. The bottom has a 3.5mm audio jack and a microUSB charging/data transfer port but otherwise, it is all clean.

You have the power button in the centre surrounded by the volume rocker buttons above and below it. The sides of the phone feature no buttons and neither does the top end. The phone repeats the button placement that has been seen on LG phones since the launch of the G2. I had not read any reviews about the LG G4 – so I really was approaching it with a clear, uncluttered mindset. Read on to find out whether LG G4 ticks the box in that all important category. The G4's competition is the best among the best – and in that rarefied territory, each phone needs something to set it apart.Īnd while the price may matter – what can make or break a phone in the top category is whether it has that 'WOW' factor.

And as sorted a phone as it is – the time that it takes you to recognise how good it is. It takes a while before you can truly appreciate the LG G4 – it has a brilliant screen, an outstanding camera and the leather back is a nice touch as well.
