Seeking advice - G3 vs G4

I have the option to get an entirely new G3 32GB/3GB for 150 EUR less than a G4. I know that this is relative thing but still would like to get some opinions, maybe somebody moved from G3 to G4 and regret it for a reason or another or maybe you think the G4 is better in all aspects, etc ... much appreciated.

My brother has the G4 and its crazy fast. The Camera is pretty insane too. Only thing is its a new phone and no recovery or bootloader unlock for everyone but the International G4. They have root so at least that's good. Other than that I would say its a solid upgrade.

If I have the cash to spend, I'd take the latest flagship any day.

If you have extra cash, go for G4. In my opinion, 150 EUR is worth it.
G3 is already pushed second in the line and delays with updates. You would be dissapointed if you bought a new phone which has bad support from the beginning you purchased it.

It all depends on what you're looking for. If I can't get root on a device, specifically a phone, I will wait until it's rootable. However I wish the camera on the G3 was capable of what the G4 camera can do. Looks like it won't ever be able to do those things. I guess the chipset of the G3 doesn't support the same camera API(s) that the G4 does.

I have the G3 D850. I love the phone. It is my favorite phone I've ever owned. Recently my partner switched from Apple to the new G4. I tweaked it a bit for him and I must say that I was VERY impressed. The speed is incredible. It runs Lollipop like a boss and shows true zero lag when quickly maneuvering through the OS. The camera is phenomenal and I cannot say enough good things about the quality and speed of it. If you have the choice, go for the G4, you will not be disappointed.

To be honest I'm not sure I would bother to uprade to G4. For me the G4 is a G3 on steroids.

To me at this point I'm happier on the G3 since there's far more stuff such as ROMs and what not available. If/when the G4 finally at least gets bumped kernels and such then the G4 to me will finally be ready for prime time. Both the G3 and G4 are in my opinion two of the best devices on the market right now.

I'd stay with the g3 because of root and xposed, I can't live without xposed and the g4 is just a g3 with a better camera and faster OS but its barely customisable.
If I could, I'd switch manufacturers, LG just isn't worth it ATM.

Anybody would.

I recently moved to Nexus 6P but I'll answer anyways, stay with the G3, sure the camera is custom but honestly you can get a Google play store app if you want custom camera shots and it's so much cheaper to buy with a hell of a lot more customisation. Either you go big or go small when buying phones. Latest flagship or buy budget wise. Macro shots on the 6P still don't compare to the G3. And the expandable storage I miss too.

Disappointed by the LG Nexus 5X specs and price ... is the LG G4 still worth buying?

As the title says, I am really disappointed by the N5X price in Europe compared to the specs. Is the LG G4 still worth buying it?
Is the LG overlay acceptable? (This is the only thing which really holds me off buying the G4 at the moment, because I really love stock Android)
Is LG offering some stock Android experience? (like HTC did)
How fast the software updates get released?

This decision is really up to what features you find value in. I love my G4 and you would have to decide if you want a phone that has removable battery and expandable storage to say have fingerprint scanner and the latest OS. These phones are different in a lot of ways.

I picked up the G4 the day it came out,so I've had a good few months with it. Definitely no regrets. Coming from Samsung, it's a much less intrusive version of Android..... Than say... Touchwizz. It could benefit from extra features for battery saving mode like on the Sony or SAMSUNG, but it easily lasts me a day.
One of the best cameras, used it on my recent trip Italy, if you are into photography... You can have a lot of fun.
With every phone you will find +/-, but sure you can probably get a good deal on aG4, making it a real phone to consider.

I can answer one of those questions: the overlay is acceptable, because 99.5% of the time I don't see it because I use the camera/browser/gallery/app of choice, instead of playing with the settings. That might be different in your case, but since you asked I thought I'd answer.

Hell! I'd recommend the G4 over their 6P! For that European price, I'd 100% recommend the G4 over it!!! No doubt about it! You can get the G4 for 420 euros! The 6P will be 650 and I still think the G4 will compare just as well Or even better in the camera department and battery life. Nexus' aren't known for battery life. Neither is the LG, but hey! ...

no where as fast as you would get on nexus. they come in time though.

I'm also looking at ordering the G4 after the disappointment of the 5X, but it looks like LG will always gimp Nexus devices so it won't compete with their own flagship.
LG seems to be the only manufacturer left that give all the choices for users, even Samsung is going Apple direction.
I find LG interface to be much more bearable than Samsung which to me personally is unusable. This is helped by the fact of on-screen buttons. But I'm just waiting for CyanogenMod availability.

Then you are not a typical nexus user. You are interested in nexus only because updates are regular and this keeps the value of your device up.
You really prefer to have the extra 'features' every non nexus device offers.
So is this the same as the OP or not.

86 in photo and 79 in video for both but one has 84 points and G4 83 points, anyways DxoMark just sucks, a french reviewer... never in low light

I'm disappointed in the 5x because of the faux look of dual front speakers when in reality one is just an earpiece speaker, nothing more and lack of qi charging, and same outdated storage options. Really don't care about the lack of RAM, not like I can tell a difference going from the G4 to nexus 5, though all of it is hard to justify at $380 when you pay $20 more and get 3gb of ram, a 5.7 inch 2k screen, and an SD slot by choosing a moto x pure edition. 5x specs would be fine with nexus 4 pricing tiers
To answer your question if you're a purist like me, LG UX will drive you bonkers. So much stuff they changed just to be different that doesn't really have a purpose. I like it overall OK but have already decided I'm going back to a nexus or a moto next year. Also the memory leak is in full effect on it as LG has written 5.1.1 off as "too minor to even bother with" which means it won't get fixed until you get marshmallow which probably won't be until 2016

That was quick but the most interesting scores are the N6P is top for texture in stills beating the S6 & G4 and beating both again for Noise by 4 points.
I think the comparisons of N6P against S6/G4 are going to be interesting, hard as it might be to believe, expect the N6P shots to look slightly better in details than the S6/G4. How to counter that ? reduce to 12MP on both, now noise & details will look sharper and the difference will be hard to tell. Still, this is an achievement for the N6P. The 6S+ did not get there. The Z5 did.
In terms of video stabilisation its a good ten points behind the G4 so jerky video.
12MP and 1/2.3" rear camera.
The big catch is that there is no OIS in either N5X or N6P, pretty shocking considering N5 & N6 had it. Go to the trouble to make a good camera and then leave out OIS. Seriously WTH!!!! So like the Z5 except the Z5 will have more features ootb. You better have good handholds a la xperia or M9 to get clear low light shots with these nexii.
What will the camera interface be like, google camera has always been very limited. 3rd party cams will be essential. And then we will find out just how slow the shutter gets to.
They left out wireless charging on both ! ok, i get it that morotola is crap at wireless charging but LG already nailed it with the 5, two years ago.
Course for those who want sd & removable battery, software is not going to be able to fix

I've just returned my LG G4 to get the Nexus 5x.
I loved the G4's camera but the bloatware, bluetooth issues, buggy smart unlock, constant notifications of "NFC may drain battery" when using my car dock, the big when you put it on charge, the bing when it finishes charging, the bing when you turn it on, the bing when you turn it off.... it stopped being an enjoyable device to use and it was all because of what LG had done to Android.
So I'm going back to stock android. Originally I was going to wait for a G4 AOSP or Cyanogen rom but with the announcement of the fantastic Nexus 5x camera I decided to make the move while I still could..
The feature list is cut down compared to the G4 but it is stuff I am not so concerned with. I've not used expandable storage since moving to use Google music, Photo, Docs, Keep and Drive. I've never used wireless charging, and I don't game on my phones so I am not worried about the 1gb less of ram, especially when my Nexus 4 uses nearly 1GB of ram less than the LG G4 when idling.

I got the G4 after trying almost all other phones out there. I had Z3, HTC One M9, S6, Nexus 6, Iphone 6, and now G4 and the G4 blows them all away.
It is quicker than the others, has no memory or multitasking issues contrary to some minor views in this thread, the bluetooth, 4g and wifi work perfectly, smart lock works fine too, the camera beats all of the other phones I owned, and the battery life is equal to if not better than all at 5 Hours SOT at 60% screen brightness.
The new google launcher is AWFUL so wanting that is just nonesense, and the LG launcher has replaced Nova for me, because it's just as customisable.
Nexus fans won't want it though because they want Stock = Boring, and prefer the boring look to a decent camera and features. Anyone expecting the new Nexus devices to actually have decent real world camera is praying to the wrong gods.

I have no memory leak issues with my Verizon model, and love 95% of this phone.
Coming from a Nexus/Moto X background, I find LG's ui decent and mostly easy to use. There are 2 or 3 little annoyances in how settings are accessed, but Nova Launcher fixes most design issues - an icon pack and new screen layout, plus gestures to shortcut to the settings I use most.
I world consider rooting to clean up the other small issues, but I'm a regular Android Pay user do I'm holding off until that all shakes out.

G4 should be compared to 6p. 5x is mid range.

Im a huge nexus fan ive owned all of them from the first HTC to the last motorola. I bought the g4 blindly to test the non nexus waters and this phone has blown me away especially after the updates and the camera is super amazing and no nexus can or will beat it. Dont get me wrong ill probably grab the new nexus 5 based on stock so i can have fun rooting and putting custom roms on it, but besides having cutting edge software it will be my secondary phone and ill stick with my g4 for everyday use. To be honest im a crack flasher and it feels good to not have that urge with my g4, i got root and thats all i needed to get rid of some things and add xposed to tweak it a bit. Very happy with my g4 and will likely get the g5 when it drops.

Hello, I bought the G4 for about a month and it has no problem till now. Everything is OK. The body design is a little bend and quite comfortable playing with the phone. But the price is a little bit expensive for me. I was impulsive to buy it. Fortunately it performs well overall.

Yes. In terms of hardware, it's about even up. And the G4 also offers a miniSD slot, exchangeable battery, and nice back covers. Only possible drawback might be the battery live, probably mostly thanks to the G4's insane resolution.

I don't like the LG icons, but that can be easily changed by using a different launcher like Nova. Also, the colors for toast messages and quick settings are a bit bright (cyan). And the mobile data protocol (LTE, G3, ...) is displayed as own icon instead of small text in the reception bar icon. Most of the rest can easily be ignored or even be disabled in the settings.
But a lot of this (and more) can be modified even without unlocking the bootloader. You can flash rooted ROMs via the cable firmware update screen, and then use FlashFire to flash other ZIP updates like Xposed or themed variants (warning: very slow...).
With the European H815 version, you can also unlock the bootloader, but you'll lose warranty, and it can't be unlocked. But it'll allow you to flash "more AOSP" ROMs. (Official CM12 is work in progress, but there's an inofficial port available.)

Android M at least has been announced for the G4. I guess it's hard to tell even by LG's developers, as it depends on the changes made by Google.
But then, the changes made since Android 4.1 aren't that impressive anyway IMHO, and several recent updates had some teething troubles, so maybe it's not so bad to wait a bit longer...

Upgrade to G4 or G5

Hi everyone, I am drawing to the end of my contract with Three, and currently have an LG G3. I have noticed that they now offer the LG G5 as an upgrade option, so i am torn between the G4 and the G5. I have had a problem with the G3 that required LG to have the phone for about 2 months to fix, which has left e with a bit of a bitter taste. Since its came back it has been ok, so i wondered what peoples thoughts were regarding the G4 or G5. I question how long the G5 will last if you are constantly plugging and unplugging the modules in the bottom (ooer) so any advice would be great, cheers

As a satisfied G4 owner, I'm not considering an upgrade to the G5, it's not that giant leap forward...
In my opinion all depends on how much are you going to spend for the G5 over the G4: if it's a small amount, go for the latest, otherwise stay with the G4 and you'll be happy with it
Inviato dal mio LG-H815 utilizzando Tapatalk

As g4 owner ,i don't think switching to g5 is an upgrade because of few reasons:
1.the button from switching modules it wont last longer than few months (we all know what is going to happend with buttons like this)
2.camera still the same (wide angle camera is not a necesity ,at least not for me)
3.battery still the same
I will be waiting for lg g6.
I'm not disappointed at all with my g4,great photos (manual mode is a beast) ,great display,great speed and battery life depends in how you use the phone .

cheers chaps

unless you wanna use those additional modules, i would rather stick with G4.

Agreed.. also, the current G4s are coming out with S/N: 600+ (my new UK unbranded one is SN 620), so the bootlooping issue should be solved... and, best of all, your G4 contract will be MUCH cheaper than a G5 one.
Its a great device...

You might regret doing that... Inferior camera, No SDCard (on s6) and worst of all... childish and cartoony TouchWiz, where you get loads of duplicate.. S apps and google apps.. for example.. S Voice and Googler Voice, S Note or Google Docs or Microsoft Word., Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive... thats apart from all the "S" apps ... yes its all on the S6 and its all bloat to deal with...
Worst of all Samsung are now becoming the Apple of the Android world, where their devices are alot more expensive than other Android phones
Go for the G4

If you can handle a larger phone, get the V10. It's everything you'd love about the G4 in a more durable body and with a larger screen. I held one in store and it felt great. Made me regret my launch day G4 purchase.
I wouldn't even consider the G5.

I agree. LG completely lost me with the G5, not that I would have considered a new phone by choice this year anyway.
I also wouldn't recommend the G4 due to its bootloop problems, and having a new one doesn't really guarantee you a thing since people have reported 604s having bootloops as well.
The V10 has been out long enough to presumably not be plagued with the same type of issues, and you would also hope that LG didn't somehow manage to screw the pooch for all of 2015, because then that would mean that they released three flagship duds in a row over the past year.

I would have upgraded to G5 only for the fingerprint sensor, it's a good to have feature.

Thinking of selling your LG G4 and buying a One Plus 3 ?

I recently purchased a OP3 and like most people on here have had many phones before it but the phone I loved the most and still own is the LG G4.
Using both the OP3 and G4 at the moment and it's really hard to decide between them. Both have pros and cons !
If your in the same boat as me i would love to hear from you.
If your a G4 owner and want to ask me some questions please feel free to comment and yes the camera is actually quite good which makes it an even more difficult choice

I own both phones too. The OP3 is my favourite, as it feels better in the hand, it has stock Android, the battery life is better and it's faster. However, the G4 does have a better camera. It's not as noticeable in photos, but there's a significant difference with videos. The OP3's videos could be better.

The only reason I've stuck with the on screen buttons is because the capacitive buttons are around the wrong way. At least with Xiaomi's new phones (Mi5 and Redmi Pro), they're dots and you have the option of reversing them.

I ditched my G4 for the OP3. The software was more polished on the G4 - to me OOS 3 still has a way to go - but I like the overall performance of the OP3. It's slimmer than the G4 and feels better. I don't miss the buttons on the back of the G4 - which I loved. And it has a feature that all "premium" phones are missing - dual SIM. I didn't regret buying the OP3.

You can swap the capacitive buttuns, too.

I own both, my G4 had a software issue and I went for the OP3, and up-to-date I'm very happy with the phone. I miss some features from my G4, expandable storage, removable battery and the drop down-up notification bar option button. Since OP3 has dash charge and battery life is acceptable I don't regret the change. But expandable storage was a very big concern for me since I have hundred of music Playlist as well picture collection. Now I'm thinking to buy Axon 7 and see if the change is a pro or con.

Great to see son many others coming from the g4.. Do love the phone but it does get hot and lag. Axon 7 is tempting ; last update improved op3 video capture but not iOS in 1080p. G4 did capture better vid but agree photos cannot notice really apart from manual mode being better in g4.

Went from G2 -> G4 -> One plus 3.
Out of these three phones i dislike the G4 the most. I've been really disappointed in the G4, since it never had any good "speed" to it.
I tried everything with the G4, different roms, customizing animations and such, but it just never had the same snappy feeling that my G2 with ressurection remix had.
As soon as i started using my oneplus 3 i never looked back at my G4.. I have to mention that i rarely use the camera.
The only thing i miss from the G4 is the placement of buttons and the IR-blaster.

I just sold my LG G4 to a friend... I hope I will be able to buy the OP3 soft gold version next monday .
The LG G4 is a very good phone, but man, do I hate the lack of updates from LG. I was still on the january 1st security patch I really hope OnePlus will be more proactive on that department.
Now that I'm using again my old nexus 5 I realize how much I missed the pure android experience.

What are you going to take after the G4?

Hey guys so this is my last day here at the G4 forum. Ditching my phone for an Oneplus 3.
I Wanted to create a thread where u can share information about your next device and why u leaving the G4.
For me it's clear. I have a sn 506 which thank god never bootlooped. I sent my phone after 12 months of usage in because of crazy screen burn in and they replaced me Motherboard processor and PCB. And it did get worse after that. Phone got unusable and the lack of Updates made my choice in direction to the OP3.
Goodbye Guys

I'm still using my LG G4 and I'm loving every bit of my experience with it. My next phone, when I replace it would be either LG G5 or LG V20.
Motorola are good phones, Samsung is great, I've used different models of those. But there is no other phone like LG when it comes to Androids. Best experience ever.
They aren't good at marketing their products like their competitors which makes them loose the market to less quality products out there. Otherwise, LG makes great phones. Remember the time when LG released LG Viewty? The whole world had that phone on their wish-list. They still make extraordinary phones.

Steering clear of any LG phones. The G3, G4, G5, and V10 all had bootloop problems. No thanks.

I am an Android fan and modder since 2013. I love(d) Android. So much customization, and I still like my G4 (except the fact if i hit it very weakly or it accidently jumps down the battery connection loses and it turns off). Few months ago I bought an iPad Air 2. I have to tell you, iOS is awesome. Lag? Not even a micro. Weaker hardware than G4 and runs much smoother. I also love iOS animations. Sorry Android, but.....
My new phone will be probably an iPhone 7 Pro/Plus, or a 7S.

One thing is sure..i will never buy any phone from LG,G4 is the worst phone I've had so far,for LG is best to produce dishwashers instead of smartphones,with my G4 i have problems with :red colored retention on gray colored parts of display,poor call quality ,call volume too low and distorted,terrible battery life,overheating,phone is 505 series it has has problems with everything except the camera ,and the damn thing does not want to die (bootloop issue) so I can get a new phone because I still have a year warranty on damn thing,never more LG smartphone ,next phone will be most likely iphone 6s plus or new coming iphone 7 i am just to tired of tweaking android so i can have a normal phone

My next device would either be a HTC or Nexus. I saw how the G2 and G3 had the bootloader unlocked eventually so I thought the same would happen. I then realized how much I truly needed it, life without AOSP feels so.. Slow.
HTC always seems to be spot on with their devices on the software level. Their camera need work but I'm not a photographer anyways.
Nexus is like a blank canvas and can be tuned to your liking. I'd probably go nuts with the options available.

Looking forward for V20,
Own att G4 with 506 serial and so far so good for my daily usage...even with my front camera have focusing issue but i'm not a selfie person.
Feel sorry for those who had bootloop issue with their device

I love the G4 but my confidence in it is basically shot. I've had it about nine months and it has had to go back for warranty repairs three times. Twice for screen issues and once for bootlooping. Add to that my non-carrier H815T is still on the January security patch, which is crazy. It's disappointing because my two previous phones (Nexus 5 and Nexus 4) were both also LG devices and were really good. But now every time my G4 has the slightest bump, stuff that I would normally just ignore as a quirk, I find myself sweating that it's about to start bootlooping again or get some other crazy hardware issue.
I'm going to wait and see what the new Nexus device is like when it's released in a few weeks. If that doesn't tickle my fancy then I'll have a serious look at a Samsung Galaxy S7.

Got a Oneplus 3 on the way. Going to sell my G4 SN 506 EU H815 even though it has had zero issues and in brief been a fantastic device. Just can't really gamble on it not developing bootloop. Plus OP3 has fingerprint scanner, excellent development and just generally a very well rounded device.:good:

If I drop my G4, then I will get a HTC 10 or one of the new Nexus devices. Depends on the price of course and if I had the money...:good: (So I don't know if ever...student life without money ftw!:silly: )

Moto Z Play
Good camera, good battery, thats all i need

My actually device is the LG G4, it's a good Smartphone, but I think the G3 was a bit better, it was easier to root and flash then the G4, the design from the G3 is so much better.
My next device is: LG V20, G5 or Nexus 6p
Sorry for my ****ing **** English

Though I'm pretty happy with my LG G4, having heard of all these bootloop and other issues, I probably won't be getting another LG device. From a design point of view, the G5 does not appeal to me one bit. Pretty much the same goes for the V20.
Having used a few smartphones now, I began to lean more towards stock Android, so probably a new Nexus device is on the horizon for me. OnePlus might be an option as well.

My boat with LG G4 has sailed. I enjoyed this device and now I have given it away.

I purchased the G4 on October 2015 and got the bootloop on December: so I sent it for repair before the holidays and they replaced the motherboard (IMEI and SN untouched), then I got it back on January. After this episode I've never had a single problem with this phone, I really love it, but at the same time I'm really disappointed about how LG (at least here in Italy) supports it (just a security patch after 8 months, when other phones get regular patches every month). Also, I red about many G4s that bootlooped again even if they were repaired the first time and now some V10s and G5s do the same thing too, so I'm a little bit afraid that bootloop might happen again. Patience, but I don't think my next phone will be another LG, I'm going to get an HTC (my One S was a really good phone and today for basic stuff is still OK) or an ASUS (I recently bought for my mum a Zenfone and it's fantastic) in the future. I usually change my phone every 3-4 years, so I have much time to think about this.

I love stability and camera quality in phones.
When I came back to Android I tied a few till I get at G4.
Loved Huawei Mate S and OnePlus 2.
But camera it's all G4, so ill stick with it till I get a better one.
For me it's only one bad thing about this phone, its the screen resolution - no point higher than FHD for a 5.5 screen and battery suffer cause of LG choice.
Rest I'm loving it.

This, probably - http://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-and-google-pixel-xl-coming-to-you-on-october-4th/
I'm not due an upgrade for a year, but my next phone will most likely be a Nexus (or Pixel/whatever they call them).
