if you've been eagerly eyeing up LG's flagship g4 but your budget doesn't quite stretch that far you may want to cast your eyes over is little brother than g4c from the outside is easy to spot the family resemblance it has the same gently curving screen the volume and power buttons are on the back beneath the camera and it comes with the same metallic Diamondback sadly though the luxurious leather option from the flagship g4 is not available on the g4 c.width is lower price comes a lower list of specs it's smaller 5-inch display has a 720p resolution which is about adequate to make text and images look crisp and its colors aren't bad either it's running on a 1.2 gigahertz quad-core processor which is a huge step down from the flagship and it does show demanding games like grand theft auto san andreas are sluggish to the point of being unplayable and even navigating the Android interface can be frustratingly slow speaking of Android you'll find a version 5.0 point 1 lollipop on board over which LG has slapped its own custom interface while I quite like LG's clean easy to use software it's big graphical overhaul of Android seems to have taken its toll on the processors performance around the back of the phone is an 8 megapixel camera which is perfectly capable of helping you jazz up your Facebook feed with photos of your food and there's a 5 megapixel camera on the front for all of those embarrassing selfies although the g4c may share the curved display of its flagship brother its sluggish performance means its similarities are only skin-deep even with its reasonable asking price you should think carefully before opting for the g4 see Motorola's new moto g provides a much better all-round experience and cuts even less I'm Andrew Coyle for CNET and this is the LG g4 see
