LG G4 Release Date & Price

The LG G series has become the world favorite and preferred smartphone. This started very shortly after the release of the LG G3 and people started talking about the comming of the next LG flagship of 2015. There have been rumor all over the next since the begining of 2015 about the release of LG’s flagship called G4. The time has come for us to disclose all there is to know about the newly released LG G4.

The LG G4 is a leather-clad Android Smartphone whose photos were revealed to the whole public when a famous Blogger by name “Evan Nelson Blass“, once known solely by his pen name @evleaks, is an American blogger, editor, and former phone leaker. @Evleaks posted a link to the official product microsite of LG Korea. This seems to to be the second device photo leak by @Evleaks this year.

The LG G4 is the successor of the LG G3 which was released last year. The LG G4 is a perfect alternative to other 2015 flagships like the Iphone 6, Samsung galaxy S6, Sony Xperia Z4 and the HTC One M9.

LG has greatly succeded in the year 2014, and 2015 looks to be even better. With two flagship releases in the first half of the year, the expectations are already starting to mount. The concept of both phones are already looking impressive, but the follow-up on the fan favorite for this year looks like it’s picking up right where it left off.

The LG G4’s camera has been revealed and so has its OS. There had been some incorrect fact about some of its specs especially the rumored KitKat OS and a 13 MP camera. But much of the rest are in line with the current rumors.

We’re talking an amazing 5.2 – 5.5 inch Sapphire screen, a 20.7 MP front camera, a 4000 mAh battery, and an 808 quad-core processor. From what we have seen on the LG G4 specs we will be pleasantly surprised, but when we think of what LG continues to do we really won’t be.

The LG G4 features an impressive 16MP rear camera which is seen as an improvement on the previous G series. It also features a 13MP front camera with F1.8 aperture, which mean taking great pictures in low-light conditions should not be a problem at all.

The shooter features laser detection autofocus and an upgraded optical image stabiliser (OIS 2.0). The front-facing camera has received significant upgrade from just 2.1 megapixels to an awesome 8 megapixels and it supports Gesture Shot and Gesture View.

The new features of the LG G4 is what will help separate it from the concept of the G3 as new premium unique features like a fingerprint scanner, waterproof design, shockproof sensors, and dust-proof display. LG is looking to create a premium smartphone without having to have consumers pay for it, which is precisely where the new LG G4 features come into play.

The fingerprint scanner will probably be the most popular feature. Most of the other premium flagship smartphones have integrated added security, and the fingerprint scanner will do just that. It has also been rumored that the G4 will feature eye sensing technology which could possibly mean the LG G4 will feature both. Despite the many rumors surrounding either a retina or iris eye scanner, this is probably the most unlikely scenario.

When the waterproof design was first featured in smartphones a couple of years back, it was primarily reserved for premium releases. Now, as smartphone manufactures look to create a complete phone they are making it one of the standard features.

The waterproof idea not only enhances the long-term aspects, but also creates a unique appeal for photo lovers. Underwater pictures with the waterproof feature, 20.7 megapixel front-facing camera, and the optical image stabilization feature will create some of the best looking pictures.

The overall concept is simple, to meet the consumers needs and come out on top of the smartphone comparisons for 2015. If this were that easy than everyone would be doing it, but on the heels of the huge success of the LG G3, the LG G4 concept is expecting to do just that. The premium specs are expected to appeal to a higher end user base, but the price will help make the phone appeal to all.

LG is looking to bring something big which is where all the rumors come from on the enhancements to all parts of the G4 including the durability, battery life, display, interface, and many consumer options. From the five different launch colors expected to the 4000 mAh battery, the LG G4 concept looks to be the perfect compliment entertainment and multimedia purposes.

LG G4 Release Date

The good news is that the LG G4 release date may be sooner than initially reported. For months now we have been hearing rumors that the release date would not be until June of 2015, but unconfirmed rumors suggest that the release date will be about a month earlier. This looks pretty promising when looking at other 2015 smartphone releases as LG would look to content with other flagships from Samsung and HTC.

Both the Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9 are expected by March – April 2015, and the LG G4 looks to compete with both upcoming flagships. There are already huge comparisons between all three as three of the premiere manufacturers are all expected to bring forth some of the years finest.

Typically, smartphone manufacturers look to release a new phone on a one year time frame, but LG and Sony both have defied popular belief. Both the LG G and Xperia Z series have released a new phone less than 12 months and the same is not being reported with the LG G4 release.
