LG G4 Release Date, Specs, Price and Features Review: LG G4 Mobile is Unveiled

LG has unveiled its latest flagship phone, the LG G4, in simultaneous events in different cities around the world on April 28. The phone is the successor of the LG G3 and is being unveiled amidst stiff competition such as the new Samsung Galaxy S6 and the iPhone 6.

Calling the phone "the most ambitious smartphone yet," the LG G4 boasts of a removable back leather cover, which comes in several colors, or a textured ceramic back cover. The cover is removable so that one can access the removable battery and a microSD slot. According to a PC Advisor report, this feature is what most of the new smartphones have done away with. For users who prefer a removable battery and a memory expansion slot, this may be a good choice.

It only comes with 32GB storage option, which is expandable. It's slightly heavier than the LG G3, weighing at 155 grams. It's also thicker at the top end, and is wider and taller than its predecessor, measuring at 76 mm by 149.9 mm.
