News & Reviews:   LG G4 phone Malaysia release date

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.

LG’s latest flagship phone, the LG G4, is set to be unveiled on 28 April 2015. Ahead of its debut, some photos and tech specs have been leaked. The leaked photos seem to point to a leather casing option, as first seen in the event invite from LG for the model’s premiere. The leaked tech specs contained a mix of surprises and the expected. The rumoured tech specs include a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 CPU processor, 5.5-inch Quantum display with 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution, a 13MP rear camera with an aperture of f/1.8, 8MP front camera, Android 4.4.2 and 3000mAh battery. The earlier news from LG was that the camera would feature a 16MP camera with an aperture of f/1.8 and Android 5.0.  If the rumours are true, the change in 16MP camera to 13MP would be a let-down. For the flagship phone, Android 5.0 was also expected instead of Android 4.4.2. Aside from the leather back skin, the LG G4 will be available in burgundy red, metallic black, moon violet, shine gold and silk white. Answers to questions will be out in 2 weeks, on 28 April 2015. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet.
