This means fewer moments missed due to having to fumble with controls and lock screens.
There is a smarter calendar, with more personalised notifications.Ī QuickShot feature even lets you take photos by double-tapping the volume-down button on the back – without activating the screen. The interface changes colour based on your choice of wallpaper background. Your photos can now be sorted into albums based on time and location. It also works much like Google Now, which learns from your habits and changes the information you see to suit. It’s colourful and minimalist, very close to Google’s own Material Design aesthetics.

Out of the box, the LG G4 runs Android 5.1 Lollipop. As usual LG has supplied a microSD card slot, compatible with cards up to 2TB. Much easier.Īrguably more important than the removable battery is the expandable storage. Or you can take LG up on its offer and swap out the battery. The built-in battery-saver mode is pretty effective at conserving power, so activate that when you hit 20 per cent and you should have no problems lasting to a charging point.
Our standard battery rundown test (looping a 720p video at 50 per cent brightness, with wi-fi connected) lasted 10 hours.

The 3000mAh battery is a good one – not class-leading like the Sony Xperia Z3, but a solid performer nonetheless. This is a real treat for power users, and LG is now the only manufacturer of flagship smartphones to let you change the battery and storage.
It can be removed to access the battery and memory card. It’s not just a pretty back – it’s practical too.
