After appearing in the SIRIM database, the LG G4 is finally and officially available here in Malaysia for RM2499. Granted, this is a bit more than the amount it was offered for initially, but this is inclusive of 6% GST. Featuring a curved display, genuine leather backside, laser autofocus and much more, the LG G4 is currently the latest flagship smartphone from LG and is probably the first we've seen officially in Malaysia for a while. Other tech specs for the LG G4 include Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB storage, 4G LTE connectivity, a 3000 mAh battery, NFC,  802.11ac WiFi and Android 5.1 Lollipop. LG have always made good phones with unique design and quality builds (in remembrance of the LG VU) but haven't always had the best hype or marketing. As it is, the first batch of stock comes with a FREE extra 3000 mAh battery, charging cradle and Leather Quick Circle case at the LG Mobile Specialised Store in Sunway Pyramid. 

The global rollout for the LG G4 begins this week as it will be going to Hong Kong, Turkey, Russia and Singapore with Southeast Asia and others coming afterwards. Does this mean Malaysia may see the LG G4 officially too? We sure hope so. We've reached out to LG but we still haven't got any response just yet. While the tech specs are still very camera centric with a new Color Spectrum Sensor, 16MP rear camera, 8MP front camera and improved 2K resolution display, the most eye catching feature remains the leather backside. Check out all the videos in this article for a clearer view of the LG G4's greatness.

The entry-level to midrange smartphone market in Malaysia is quickly becoming crowded with quite a lot of choices for around RM600. While it isn't too difficult to find a smartphone within this price range with a phablet sized 5.5-inch display finding one that combines the best value with good build quality and attention to detail is still fairly hard. Our previous preview with the Honor 4X revealed that it could well be one of  these phones but in our full review below we make sure if the Honor 4X is really worthy of your money and attention so check it out below.

We don't like being right sometimes and this is one of those times as the LG G4 is now available in Malaysia, but with third-party sellers like SatuGadgetDotCom and DirectD. Priced from RM3749 this is quite a big increase from the $649 (RM2329) pricing that it is normally going for but considering that LG Malaysia may never bring it in officially this may be the only way to get the LG G4 for some people. As a refresher, tech specs and features for the LG G4 include a leather backside, curved display and 16MP rear camera with F1.8 aperture, OIS 2.0 and a new Color Spectrum Sensor which improves colour accuracy via RGB values of ambient light. The 5.5-inch display also comes with a new Quantum display with 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution that according to LG offers better brightness compared to other quad HD displays. Other tech specs include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB storage, 4G LTE connectivity, a 3000 mAh battery, NFC,  802.11ac WiFi and Android 5.1 Lollipop. As usual with such buys expect warranty to be AP or store only but both SatuGadgetDotCom and DirectD have fairly good service track records. If the LG G4 stock doesn't get bought up we expect the rather high current pricing to drop exponentially like the LG G3 before it but only after 6 months to a year or so.

After quite a few leaks, LG has officially announced their LG G4 flagship smartphone. Featuring a full grain leather casing the LG G4 adds on a little bit more  to the previous LG G3. This includes a 16MP rear camera with F1.8 aperture, OIS 2.0 and a new Color Spectrum Sensor which improves colour accuracy via RGB values of ambient light. The 5.5-inch display also comes with a new Quantum display with 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution that according to LG offers better brightness compared to other quad HD displays. However, the most telling feature has to be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor as it indicates that there may still be issues with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor. Other tech specs include 3GB of RAM, 32GB storage, 4G LTE connectivity, a 3000 mAh battery, NFC,  802.11ac WiFi and Android 5.1 Lollipop. The new camera features a manual mode, Gesture Interval Shot and Quick shot, while an 8MP front camera rounds things up. Still no Malaysia release dates or pricing details but we expect the LG G4 to turn up at third-party sellers like SatuGadgetDotCom, Lazada or DirectD first. Rumours indicate that it could go for 680 Euros (RM2657) but we expect this to go up a bit higher at the third-party sellers.

The LG G3 offers a whole bunch of innovation with rear controls, laser guided autofocus and more. We managed to go hands-on with this award winning smartphone for a closer look at what it can do.

The LG G3 is quite well-known as one of the best smartphones in the world. As one of the first modern smartphones to utilize rear controls and a laser guided autofocus camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) the LG G3 has introduced many innovative features in the smartphone industry. Is it still as good as when it first came out? With all these new smartphones does it still remain one of the best? We find out for sure in our review of the LG G3 smartphone.

Yesterday, LG announced its successor to the LG G Flex smartphone at the CES 2015 event held in Las Vegas. The new LG G Flex 2 comes with a sleeker profile and a number of additional features, making it a true successor to the G Flex curved smartphone. LG has incorporated some important changes in the new device, like a smaller display with a higher resolution, top of the line Snapdragon 810 processor, Laser AutoFocus from the LG G3 and a fast charging battery. Apart from the impressive tech specs, the overall design has been improved to make the phone more ergonomic. The 5.5-inch display with a 700mm radius curvature makes it fit perfectly in the user's hands. Thanks to the curvature, the microphone is much closer to the mouth, thereby reducing background noise. The self-healing feature also makes a comeback, but this time it is much faster and effective. LG has managed to reduce the heal time from 3 minutes to just 10 seconds in normal room temperature. With the help of a special chemical treatment process developed by the company, the cover glass on the display is now 20 percent more durable too. The 3000 mAh battery onboard charges up to 50 percent in just 40 minutes. LG will start selling the G Flex 2 in South Korea by the end of January and will later release it in additional global markets. Full tech specs of the LG G Flex2 are given below.

• 64-bit 2.0 GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor
• Adreno T430
• 2GB DDR4 RAM
• 16 / 32GB memory + expandable storage up to 2TB
• 5.5-inch display (1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, Curved P-OLED, 403 ppi)
• 13MP rear camera (Laser Auto Focus, OIS) + 2.1MP front camera
• 149.1 x 75.3 x 7.1-9.4mm | 152 grams
• Supports 4G / LTE / HSPA+, 802.11 ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, NFC, GPS, USB 2.0
• Features Gesture Shot, Gesture View and Glance View
• 3000 mAh battery (Fast Charge)
• Android 5.0 Lollipop
• Available in Platinum Silver / Flamenco Red

Last week, LG Malaysia teased its current flagship, the LG G3 on its official Facebook page. The South Korean giant was expected to announce two new handsets in the country, the LG G3 and the LG G3 Stylus in the coming days. Now, LG has officially confirmed the release of the two handsets and they will be available for sale starting today from a number of LG Mobile dealers in Malaysia. The LG G3 is almost 7 months old, but it still has enough hardware to threaten the recent releases like the Motorola Moto X (2014), Nexus 6 and Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Tech specs include a 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. On the outside there is a large 5.5-inch quad HD 2K pixel resolution display. The 13MP rear camera comes with OIS and Laser Autofocus, while the 2.1MP front camera can record up to 1080p videos. A 3000 mAh battery onboard to power all these specs. The G3 comes with Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box, but LG has announced an Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the device which should also make it to the G3 smartphones sold in Malaysia. The LG G3 Stylus will be a mid-range affordable smartphone with tech specs that include a quad-core Mediatek MT6582 processor, 1GB RAM and 13MP primary camera. The LG G3 and G3 Stylus will retail for a Malaysia price of RM1699 and RM799 respectively.

LG Malaysia could be bringing the LG G3 smartphone into Malaysia by the end of December 2014. The company has started teasing the flagship smartphone on its Facebook page indicating that they may be bringing it in officially. The LG G3 Stylus model could also make it around the same time, as the device was recently spotted in the SIRIM database. LG announced the G3 back in May, but the company did not reveal any plans for a Malaysia release. Interested individuals had to resort to third-party sellers for imported units. The G3 features top-notch tech specs with a 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB RAM and 32GB inbuilt storage. The phone comes with one of the best displays in the market with a 5.5-inch quad HD (2560 x 1440 resolution) IPS display which translates into a pixel density of 538ppi. The 13MP camera on the back has Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) with a unique Laser Auto Focus. On the front, there is a f/2.0 2.1MP camera sensor. All these tech specs are powered by the onboard 3000 mAh battery. The LG G3 Stylus on the other hand features a 5.5-inch 960 x 540 resolution display along with a Mediatek processor. Expect details like Malaysia pricing and Malaysia release dates in the next few days.
