Anyone looking forward to this?

My LG G2 is still going strong but the upgrade itch is real

Not sure about the design, the old G3 looked a lot better all round.

Where did the G2s wafer thin bezels go!?

LG, what were you thinking with that speaker placement?

According to somebody on Google+ that phone is a mid-range LG for the Asian market. I've no idea if that is true or not.

Yeah, I did say reported sighting. It's not definitely the real thing, and I'm actually hoping it isn't. Will just have to wait for more news.

I just want a G3 with good battery life and a few other incremental upgrades

Launch date appears to be 28th April, need moar specs.

Some rumours going round that they've used a Snapdragon 808, which is a bit out of the blue. I'm hoping it's to help battery life, but we won't know until it's all tested.

Considering how bad the LG G3 was I don't really understand the level of interest in this device.

Overheating and poor battery life are issues LG need to address, if they are using Snapdragon 810 then I don't see that changing, Snapdragon 808? we'll see.

The whole laser AF thing was gimmick and the button placement on the back is horrible, add to that they are still sticking with plastic.

LG G4 is not a device I'm looking forward too.

From what I can tell the G3 was generally very well received?

Complaining about the button placement is silly, phones are things you have for years not minutes, and it takes about 10 minutes to get used to the power button on the back.

Interested in how you know it's going to be plastic?

After the initial positive reviews everything went very quiet, the LG G3 was rushed to market just so LG could say they were first with the 1440p display even if it came at the cost of battery life.

The throttling issues were a joke, I remember a comparison with the Galaxy S5 comparing framerates in games and the LG G3 started of with similar performance but the performance quickly dropped and as the device throttled while the Galaxy S5 was just fine and maintained smooth performance.

It was the same with both versions of the LG G3, I don't think LG know what they're doing and I wouldn't trust them with my money, no way would I buy their device on launch, wait a few weeks for the hype to drop and if user feedback and detailed comparisons and reviews can't find any issues then consider it.

The battery life on the G3 was very poor. The G2 was very, very good so I'm hoping the G4 is at least as good as the G2.

The official announcement date for the G4 will be the 28th April.

We got STARS!

I am looking forward to it.

Specs look good, like I mentioned in the other thread all comes down to price for me. Lg tend to undercut the others.

M9 is a bit to steep for me, S6 even more so.

Stereo speakers

Invites have gone out for the 28th.

Leather is prominent.

Those leaked pics above look a bit mid-range as oppose to flagship in my opinion. Bigger bezels and cheap plastic buttons on the back give it away.

Im very happy with my G3, but i'll be looking forward to what LG reveal for this iteration.

Nice. That leather is something!

I think it looks quite horrible. That seam up the middle looks really fake.

Screen sounds good, interested to see if there are options other than the leather!
