Considered to be quite good compared to my G2 and G3 previously.

From morning 9am to night 9pm, normal usage including web surfing, calling and Whatsapp. Battery left with around 30 to 40% with screen time of 3/4 hours.

For me, G4 batt life isn't that great as compared to my wifey's G2 when new. I'm getting ard 8hrs for moderate use whereas the G2 can goes probably 50% more. However the simple reason is a bigger screen estate n beefier processor. BUT BUT BUT....G4 has a removable battery so no guesses needed who's the winner right

Quite similar to my previous Note 3. Good or not i think based on individual ba.

Looks like there are many happy users here. The brown tanned leather looks cool but wonder if smudge with oil, will it leave a mark?

TIA.

3G only

Can anyone help check whether we can change the mobile network to 3G only? I don't own a LTE sim card (refused to upgrade from 12GB 3G plan)

You can get a LTE Sim card without upgrading your plan, no?

Anyone take a picture with mixed brightness level? Example half the picture is in direct sunlight and the other half in shade.

The g4 caused the part in the shade to come out black, making it look like half a picture while the other in bright sunlight was ok.

It's good news with Google photo now accepting 16 megapixels backup for free unlimited

True but photos will be recompressed, even if they are "only" 16 megapixels (or less). Still high quality but not the same as originals.

Turn on HDR in camera settings.. Should be better but don't expect miracles.

Settings -> Network tab -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode -> GSM/WCDMA auto

No, can't, will need to recontract, since 4G is part of the VAS, while the old 12GB plan got no such VAS option. However, they had it during the initial 4G launch, i.e., could add the 4G VAS option to the existing 12GB plan.

Anyway, I also still support the 12GB plan. I don't need 4G fast speed with limited data, while on 3G I can use upto 8GB without even streaming any videos.

Did you encrypt your phone or SD card?
I'm considering it but afraid of higher power consumption & slower read/write speed.

Miracles occur in "Manual" mode
