LG finally announced the long awaited smartphone G4, its new flagship. It adopts new philosophy of design while retaining the consecrated elements of previous models. The emphasis is now on the use of novel materials to achieve housing and camera performance and not necessarily chapter on creating a device to receive maximum scores in benchmarks. This is evident when viewing the technical specifications, improvements in hardware are minimal compared to the previous generation.

 

 

 

 

All leaks and suggestions from small company led here. G4 is not much of a mystery to those who have followed the work of LG in recent weeks, but now we can talk in a formal way about it. We can finally confirm that the new flagship of the company does not adopt the new Snapdragon chipset 810, like the terminal G Flex 2, but an inferior model, 808 to 1.8 GHz Snapdragon, a hexa-core model 64 bits. It does not look as good on paper, but neither seems to have overheating problems flagship of you have met both G Flex 2 and the HTC One M9.

808 integrates dual-core Snapdragon dual-core and quad-core ARM Cortex A57 A53, built on big.LITTLE architecture. Adreno 418 graphics chip is that the test results will likely take out weaker than the Snapdragon Adreno 430 810, but probably in practice the differences are minor. The processor is joined by an amount of 3 GB RAM, and G3 model also comes with 32 GB internal storage which can be expanded using a microSD card of up to 2 TB.
