Lg g4 review in Spanish (full analysis)

This new LG smartphone was launched on the market on April 28 in New York, United States, and here we present this complete and Spanish review of the LG G4. It is time to perform a detailed analysis with all the news of the new LG phone. Will it be worth investing our money in it? Here we go!

We thank LG for trusting the product for its analysis.

LG G4 technical specifications

LG G4

It comes packed in a small cardboard box we see in large letters LG G4. On the back we have a description of the most important technical characteristics of the product along with its serial number. Once we open it we find the following bundle:

LG G4 with leather case MicroUSB cable and wall charger.

For those who see from afar, the LG G3 and LG G4 may seem like the same smartphone. The company has chosen to maintain a look very similar to that of its predecessor, especially due to the fact that the LG G3 pleased consumers a lot when it was launched. The main novelty of the company in this regard was reserved for the finish.

More refined on the sides, the LG G4 hits international stores with nine trim options. There are six of them with the leather back cover, in brown, black, red, yellow, blue and beige; and three others with the plastic back cover, in the colors gray, white and gold.

The leather back cover, without a doubt, is the one that attracts the most attention. Its construction is plastic, like most smartphones, but the cover is provided with a real leather cover. The G4 badge is located in the lower corner in low relief and the center of the phone is vertically cut by a seam. The version with the plastic back cover gained a low relief texture, with squares arranged diagonally, revealing a modern look.

On the sides it does not have any type of button while at the bottom we have the MicroUSB connection for charging or file transfer and a minijack outlet to connect our helmets or hands-free.

The LG G4 does not have any type of certification that makes it resistant to water or dust, therefore, nothing to wet the phone. The back cover is still removable and the power buttons and volume controls are still located on the back of the phone. In terms of design lines, the screen has gained a slight curvature, making the grip more anatomical.

Compared to that of Apple and Samsung, the difference in philosophy chosen by LG in regards to the construction of the smartphone is clear. The materials selected in the G4 do not use aluminum and glass at the rear. Instead, the company opts for high-quality genuine leather crafted in an artisanal process that takes up to 12 weeks to complete, after going through various durability treatments.

screen

Although the LG G4 display has exactly the same screen size as the LG G3 (5.5 inches and 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution), there are significant changes in display construction that directly affect the user's viewing experience.

New is Quantum IPS technology, providing images with up to 20% higher brightness and nearly 50% more contrast. The new LG model offers a spectrum of 98% DCI (Digital Cinema Initiatives) standard colors, something close to what we have seen in Hollywood movies.

The result of the LG screen is the best possible, both when viewing photos and when viewing videos in high resolution. The only downside we can find with this resolution is the increase in battery consumption.

Hardware and performance

In benchmark tests, the smartphone performed well, obtaining numbers above those conquered by the models of the previous generation. It incorporates the Snapdragon 808 six-core 1.8 GHz processor of the LG G4 and some fantastic 3GB of RAM.

In absolute processing terms, the LG G4 is below the Galaxy S6, for example, but this in no way can be considered a problem because its price is really lower. But in tests, the LG made an operating system work as it should, without stops, lags and everything totally fluid in its applications.

The games that require more graphics processing capacity, in addition to movies and series have also worked smoothly and smoothly. Using social media and messengers, the result was no different. Regarding storage, we have 32 GB of internal memory expandable via microSD up to 2 TB.

Among its connections we find LTE, NFC, Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-Fi ac, NFC, GPS and the infrared (IR) signal.

Sound

The audio quality of the device itself meets the mark. The speaker is located on the back of the smartphone, but the audio output is rarely covered with the hands. The sound emitted by the smartphone is not the highest, but it is solid and has a low noise level, which makes it very functional in this regard.

Camera

Among all the updates that the LG G4 received, without a doubt, the rear camera is the aspect that has gained the most attention from the company. One of the new tools is the color spectrum sensor. It can be seen in the back, just below the LED flash. The most significant improvement is the fact that the new sensor is capable of more naturally capturing various shades of color.

Its function is to measure ambient light and determine the exact source of the light in the context in which it is found, whether natural or artificial. The company guarantees that the sensor can more accurately identify the differences between light and objects. By knowing the exact light condition, the software has an easier time determining the appropriate white balance for each situation.

The manual controls expand the user's possibilities, but it is necessary to have a certain knowledge of the photo to take good advantage.

The rear camera of the device has a Sony IMX240 Exmor RS sensor of f / 1.8 of 16 megapixels, which allows images with dimensions of 5312 x 2988 pixels. In addition to the color spectrum sensors, three other resources help in capturing good photos: dual-LED flash, three-axis optical image stabilizer and laser focus.

In addition, it is possible to have access to the manual controls of photography modes, which makes the professional and artistic possibilities and their captures much greater. The idea is to make the experience of using the phone closer to that seen on SLR cameras.

Another point to note is the aperture of the f / 1.8 camera, the largest among mobile phones already on the market. This feature allows you to capture photos faster and sharper.

WE RECOMMEND YOU LG G2: technical characteristics, innovations, price and availability

Special mention to the front camera

The front camera is increasingly popular for selfies, and in the G4 it reached 8 megapixels of resolution, making it the highest among today's phones.

Quick Selfie, where opening and closing the hand in front of the camera activates the shot, is still valid in this version. However, there is an interesting novelty for the purists. If you do this same movement twice in a row, the camera will shoot four times, allowing you to choose the best portrait from the available options.

Battery

LG has chosen to keep the LG G4 battery removable. The capacity is 3, 000 mAh. In practical terms, the user should find similar results when it comes to charging duration, compared to the LG G3.

There were improvements in manageability through software, the display now consumes less, and the new chipset also needs less power to produce more.

For those who use the mobile phone moderately, this means that the battery can last more than a day very easily. For those who use it more intensively, it is possible to get to the end of the day even with a little charge. In this way, we can consider the performance very satisfactory. Our results is that with Lollipop we can reach about 5 hours of screen and users who have it with Android Marshmallow have reached up to 6 hours of screen. Great news!

Final words and conclusion

The LG G4 is not the most powerful on the market. However, we can classify the company's smartphone as one of the most competent alternatives to which the consumer will have access in 2015. Its main merit is not only in maintaining what was already working in the LG G3, but also in the fact that most of the features were improved.

Exchanging the LG G3 for the LG G4 is something that is justifiable by the improvement we find in having a better camera or staying updated with more energy-efficient hardware and support for Android 6 on this device. Both the previous generation and this new generation realize that any application available in the Play Store can be quietly run.

With new technologies, the screen is displayed with even more quality than the cutting-edge LG G3. Its main feature is the camera and photography software that has gained a large number of resources, allowing greater control over photos and providing ease of use. Without a doubt this is one of the best cameras we have tested, mainly in low light conditions.

The LG G4 is a performance monster, thanks to its six-core Snapdragon 808 processor, and it certainly adapts easily to the needs of different user profiles, especially for those with a devotion to photography. Without a doubt, it is one of the best alternatives on the market, offering a metallic or leather finish. So we can say that it is worth investing in if you are considering purchasing a new smartphone.
