The laser focus was really good on the G3 and I look forward to see what laser focus & OIS+ can do~

Laser focus still no fight for fast lenses...

So which is the "true" LG flagship of 2015, G Flex2 or G4? Both seem to share similar specs..

The G series is like samsing S series... G pro series suppose to be like samsung note... but now LG not coming out pro 3... so maybe flex to replace .. If the screen is QHD would be perfect.

The glossy red back in this picture makes it look cheap though~

Because storage space, like Rams & money, are never enough?

now samsung learn from apple dont put external microsd slot it will force users to buy higher capacity phone at much higher price than microsd price. Lucky Lg G flex 2 got microsd slot

think they will do similar promo for upcoming LG G4. LG G flex 2 last time also do similar promo at suntec

So now for vs against, haha hope my points dun get deducted due to this post.

1) 5.5 inch Full HD display, I think I might be able to accept it(current phone 5.2 inch). Anything more, probably turned me off like Nexus 6.
2) Curve form factor, you either love it or hate it. I read somewhere it is slightly flexible? Curve to straight and back to curve?
3) While it is reported improved camera features, this is not a dealbreaker for me since nowadays 13mp looked like 8mp to me(commented by matchy earlier as well)
4) Battery not swappable, up to now I still dunno why is this a dealbreaker, I believe battery capacity is more of a concern.
5) Self healing back, while the Flex 2 have this feature, I noted that the back seems very prone to scratches from a demo set.
6) I loved the glossy back but also a fingerprint magnet.. sigh it is hard to have the best of both worlds.
7) More durable, Dura Guard glass
8) Inconsistent CPU speed
9) poor battery life, hope it is something firmware updates can fix.
10) availability of microsd slot.

I dun think i am getting curved TV for my home any sooner, so if I get LG G Flex 2, this maybe my portable curved TV

Add on 10) as highlighted by xiaowhois, not a dealbreaker for me too. Right now I think I am fine with an internal storage of 64GB with no microsd slot.

microsd slot is advantage for example the price different between iphone 6 plus 16gb vs 64gb is 140bucks for a 48gb increase in storage while currently with that price you can purchase a 128gb microsd. LG G flex 2 bad point is non-removable battery which i prefer removable battery

Microsd and removable both not a deal breaker for me. I'm not a heavy storage user, i don't install lots of apps or store a lot of movies, music, and pictures on my phone. Most of my photos, documents, etc are on Google Drive. Battery wise as long as can last a day of use can already.

But removable battery is good in the long run of course, since batteries deteriorate. But a lot of phones actually have pretty easily replacement battery if you are okay with a bit of DIY.

I'm guessing G4 will still have removable storage and battery though. now that Sammy S6 is going non-replaceable, the G4 can use that as a unique selling point. If you don't factor in the Note 4 of course. lol.

 

[xiaowhois]

seem like LG no longer release G pro series phone in such case LG main phone only left G flex series & G series. hopefully at least 1 of the series keep removable battery

 

[Alexz_Hong]

Sorry suaku, What with the term #whyedgehalfway in the video?

it's poking fun at the galaxy note edge i imagine. lol. #WhyEdgeHalfWay #HotCurves ?

Anyway, maybe i'm not a heavy user or what, but I still find 2GB more than enough. Unless LG's UI really have so much bloat that they need 3GB to keep multitask and app switching smooth.

Same here, I recalled that in the past when most batteries are removable, I also dun carry spare batt around, not even during my NS days in BMT. And now with powerbanks around. The only benefit is what u mentioned can change battery only when the battery spoilt.
