hey what's up guys I'm qHD here and these are my quick first impressions of the newly announced LG g4 so I got to go to the announcement in New York today and out that event we got all the details and everything we need to know and this is the phone it looks a lot like the G flex 2 and it's moved on from the thinner bezels and the design of last year's g3 but so first of all the design has a slight curve to it yes it doesn't flex but yes the display glass is actually slightly curved in a way that you'll notice and the build materials are actually kind of interesting here as well so holding it up it's a pretty lightweight phone you know not too big fits in the hand well with the curve and it has metal sides which are glossy but do give you something to grip on and it has this plastic back with a diamond pattern not the best feeling material in the world but there are some other options so there is a ceramic backed version which has white and glossy and actually felt a bit heavier to me at the event and then there is the leather back versions that we see everywhere already different colors of leather get you different textures I try to get a look at basically all of them at the New York event but I think the one I like the best is just the black leather pretty plain but it has a pretty smooth finish to the only weird part is of course that seam right up the middle the stitched seam it doesn't serve any functional purpose all it's just a hand stitched looking seam right down the middle of the phone got to decide if you like that or not not sure if these leather backed versions might cost extra but I say that because if you took a look at the little notch on the side of the phone this is one of those traits that makes this g4 a bit of a rare breed it does still have a removable back a removable 3000 milliamp hour battery and expandable storage via a micro SD card slot so this is becoming less and less common and it might just be one of the last major flagships to have both of those things either way with this battery you get wireless charging but no quick charging so it will be easier to just pick up an extra battery and swap them but during my testing I'll have to figure out if this is exactly what you want to do in the full review we'll know exactly how good the battery life is so anyway the main new focus points of this phone are the display and the camera the display is awesome it's a 5.5 inch IPS quantum display and without getting too technical here before the full review base it looks amazing it's quite HD again it's super-bright invisible outdoors very colourful very contrast II and very very sharp in real world use this is going to blow plenty of people's minds just from my first impressions I'll go ahead and put this right up there in the top five displays on any smartphone right now it was that good-looking to me and then the other focus is like I said is the new camera LG spent a lot of time talking about all the features of this camera and how it can literally be a DSLR replacement so they can talk the talk but can this camera walk the walk well a lot of the sample photos I looked at looked really good but I mean they always do so I try to take a few myself and I got a say from the limited testing I've done the photos did look really good very sharp and pretty good colors and dynamic range and everything so I'm impressed so far with the g4s camera this specs suggest it should be amazing right so wide open F 1.8 maximum aperture 16 megapixel one over two point six inch sensor three axis optical image stabilization laser autofocus and even a new sensor on the back called a color spectrum sensor which to put it simply will help to better calculate white balance so the laser autofocus was extremely fast for me and it should be so you got lasers determining how far the focus is you got a new sensor to measure the white balance this camera was really quick and they've actually added a double tap to the volume down button on the back while your screen is off which opens the camera app in under a second and snaps the picture so now all this speed and everything is coming from you know these top-notch specs a Snapdragon 808 not the 810 3 gigabytes of RAM and everything else on paper is loaded up as you would expect so it should handle all these pixels better than the g3 did and perform really well it's actually running android 5.1 with LG's UX 4.0 on top and you know what I'm pretty excited to get to testing this phone it's got a couple of new features I like go ahead and let me know what you want to see tested for the full review down in the comments section right below that like button and i will get to testing i already know i want to see the battery life we want to see if the camera is impressive as it claims to be but then there's a bunch more questions that people have that I'll try to answer so this is your chance to get that in and we'll see how good this looks thanks for watching these first impressions and I'll talk to you guys the next one tastehh
