Yesterday LG officially presented to the Spanish media the new LG G4 And we, thanks to the kindness of the South Korean company, had the opportunity to attend the event, to know first-hand its news and also touch and try it, that if for a short time, which did not allow us to draw too many conclusions too much to have consider.
Despite the fact that we knew almost everything about this new terminal for days, remember that it was presented worldwide a few days ago, we had not had the opportunity to see it and try it. First of all, we are going to do a quick review of its main characteristics and specifications.

This LG G4 could say that it orbit on 3 fundamental pillars according to those responsible for LG, and that also seem more than clear to us.
Exclusive design
Starting in order The first thing that attracts our attention as soon as we take the terminal in our hands is its design and its careful finishes. If the LG G3 has already surprised us with its design, this new G4 has been further improved and, in addition, the tastes of each user have been thought of by creating several different rear covers in various materials and colors. Also in case this seems little to you, LG also announced that there will be several cases in the market to be able to get a terminal totally to our liking.
One of the aspects in which the greatest emphasis was placed yesterday during the presentation was on the removable battery from terminal. The high range of terminals is increasingly being filled with one-piece mobiles, which do not allow the removal of the battery. LG wants to offer users the possibility of changing it at any time and that is undoubtedly important news since we will not have to spend more than 20 euros to buy a battery that we can change ourselves.
Great viewing experience
The screen is another of the strengths of this LG G4, and I can attest to that, because the feeling when viewing any content is simply sensational. The screen of this LG G4 is a pale IPS Quantum 5.5-inch Quad HD. The new technology incorporated by the South Korean company allows us to see brighter and more natural colors on the screen.
My perverse mind wanted to check the latter and putting any smartphone next to this G4 shows quite a difference, although we will have to check it more thoroughly when we have the device to test it.
Best camera
Last LG wanted to insist a lot that it has what is possibly the best camera on the market included in a terminal. Of course this statement, for the moment we cannot buy it as they usually say and that is that although we fiddled with the camera a bit, and we can tell you that it looked very good, a use of a couple of minutes does not it is enough to affirm that we are dealing with the best camera on the market.
Among the things that most caught my attention is the aperture that has been fixed at F1.8, which is far above any other mobile device on the market. In addition, the inclusion of a professional mode is a real blessing that many users have been demanding for a long time and that will allow any user to get much more out of the camera.
Finally I can tell you about the camera that caught my attention the photographs that this LG G4 gets in low light situations and although these photographs were not taken by us, but provided by LG, they were too "good looking" to be false. Assume that as soon as this terminal falls into our hands, we will test your camera at night, during the day and even sleeping if necessary.
Price and Availability
The price and availability of this LG G4 was a rumor that had been circulating for days on the network of networks, but yesterday it became official. This new member of the select club of the high range, It will be available on June 1 with a price of 649 euros in its most basic version. If we want to give it a different touch with the leather back cover, the price will go up to 699 euros.
In my opinion…
I have to confess that unlike other occasions I went to the presentation of the mobile having seen hundreds of images and knowing all the details of the terminal that was presented, so I did not expect this LG G4 to surprise me too much. However, as soon as I had it in hand, I was very surprised. And I could say what my mother used to say that it is "good, pretty or precious and cheap".
Nice, because I think that at the design level LG has taken a step forward and has already achieved a very careful device, which each one can adapt to their liking and which attracts the attention of any user quickly. There is no doubt that it is good in view of its characteristics and specifications and it is also cheap, of course if we compare it with other high-end terminals.
It is also important to remember that LG usually offers great discounts on its smartphones as time goes by, and I am convinced that those 649-699 euros will soon be much less and then it will be a smartphone that we should all have, although it is already known that in the mobile phone market today you are the king and tomorrow you can be the last in line.
