Product Review: LG G4 - Can This Phone Compete Against the iPhone and Galaxy?

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

There's a lot going on with the LG G4, and for the most part it's rather positive indeed. The leather back is much nicer than the plastic option, and it will make your phone stand out among the swath of glass and metal offerings. Its large, expansive screen is one of the best on the market, the 16MP laser auto-focus camera takes some cracking shots and the rear buttons are easier to hit on a handset this size. As usual, LG has offered us a phone that's got a brilliant spec list at a phenomenally low unlocked price - if you're after something a bit different, this is a great choice. The LG G4 does a few things differently though. This time the brand has aimed for elements the user will actually want: longer battery life, improved camera and upgraded screen, and combined them with a slightly outlandish design: covering the thing in a leather coat that's certainly something the rest of the market hasn't seen yet. One of the early sticking points I had with this phone was the price - it came at a 'normal' level, rivalling the iPhone and Galaxy flagships pound for pound. That's now dropped massively to make it, once again, one of the cheapest and most attractive top-end handsets in price terms. Let's hear feedback from some of the LG G4 users out their. Does this phone live up to your expectations? And if not, how can the product be improved to gain market share against Apple and Samsung?
