After weeks of quasi-leaks and actual leaks you might feel that you already know everything about the LG G4. The company's mobile chief Juno Cho clearly disagrees, however -- he just took the wraps off the new flagship phone at LG's big event in New York. The G4 is all about visual experiences, whether you're looking at it or taking photos. It centers around a 5.5-inch Quad HD quantum dot LCD (the first on a phone, LG brags), but it's also focused on design, with an ever-so-slight curve and special backs that include ceramic and multiple shades of leather.
Photography also plays a greater role this time around. You're getting a larger, 16-megapixel sensor with an extra-bright f/1.8 aperture and second-generation optical image stabilization -- much better for low-light situations, LG says. On the front, you'll see an 8-megapixel camera with improved gesture control that lets you take multiple selfies in one go. There's also a manual mode and a color spectrum sensor that makes sure that your rear camera's photos don't include any sickly hues.
Performance-wise, LG is making the unusual choice of going with a six-core Snapdragon 808 processor, not the 810 you've seen in the HTC One M9 and other devices. The firm insists that the 808 is competitive with the eight-core Exynos chip in Samsung's Galaxy S6, however, and it's keen to tout battery life that should last you through a typical day. And hey, the 3,000mAh battery pack is still removable -- you can swap out for a fresh unit if you're running low. There's a microSD slot, too, so you're not limited to the 32GB of internal storage.
