I've had my G4 for about 8 months now. I'm really happy with it and don't regret my purchase at all. Regarding the plastic back and slippery feel, I got a Tech 21 case that solves that for me. It protects from minor drops and my 1 year old. The expandable storage has allowed me to load my entire music collection on my phone, which has been a huge benefit. I haven't used the replaceable battery. I'm rarely away from a charger for too long either at work or at home. I see it as more of a long term benefit to be able to swap out a new battery once the current one starts to age. I love the camera and use it daily.

I happily bought an unlocked ($379.99) G4 from G2 and i couldn't be more happier. Got it from bestbuy. I know G series are beast. I'll be using this for the next 3 years atleast for my money worth. I won't be bothering getting new phone every year. Love LGs

I can still do more things with my LG G3 than the new iPhone7.

Love this phone, but my original G4 and my replacment G4 died from the bootloop issue. I'm stuck using an old Galaxy S4.

This is one superb phone. I have to say that I made the best choice buying this one over the competition. Cannot really think of any flaws that it might have. This will still hold strong for another 2-3 years, guaranteed.

I got mine yesterday.
It's actually really great.

My wives LG G4 has been going strong since October 2015, hopefully it will beat the dreaded boot loop and live a long and prosperous life.

Just bought my G4 yesterday, love it! Best Smartphone EVER

[PHOBIAxx]

Just ordered one for $179. Hoping I like it enough to replace my 2013 motoX. I wanted a OP3, but at $399 I thought I'd give the G4 a try.

I've bought this phone for $200 brand new and put in a powerbear 6500mah battery as well... I've had no issues and am very happy with much purchase. LG's phone game it's strong!

On my second G4. The first one fell victim to the bootloop issue.

I mean, it's an awesome phone but they do have a failure rate that is somewhat higher than what I'd consider normal.

I love this guy's reviews, informative, neat editing and his sense of humour

I really really liked the G4. I bought mine in 2015 so it came with the faulty motherboard. I got the bootloop error earlier this year in February and I sent it to them, got it back 2 weeks later in working condition again. However, just two weeks ago, I got another bootloop problem and had to send it back again. C'mon LG, really disappointed that they didn't 100% fix it the first time. So inconvenient. But i really do love this phone, just wished I didn't get the faulty product. :(

I love these kind of videos where we can see how a gadget ages over time!

If anyone has the bootloop issue and needs to recover stuff or delete stuff.there is a way you can turn it on for a couple of minutes! I did it to mine!

I'm personally getting one of these tomorrow. Great camera and screen (and for 350$ it's even better)

My LG G4 has overheating issues. It heats up rapidly when just using simple applications. Waiting for the Marshmallow update. Hope it will fix this. Does anyone else out there face this sort of problem?
