I've had my LG G4 for about a year now. And here's how I feel about the phone: Overall, my experience has been great with the device. I had the misfortune of dropping it while saving my son from a nasty plunge a few months ago, and the screen cracked. While in for repairs, I used my old Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Boy oh boy was it clunky! I then realised just how smooth and seamless the user experience is on my G4. Thankfully my LG is insured, so I got it back in a few days, repaired. I would give the phone a solid 8.5 out of 10. Where it loses most of its points are with battery life and the phone getting very hot. Firstly, battery life. When I got the phone, the deal included an extra battery with a charger - and now, after using the phone for a year, I realise why. If I use the phone during the day, especially if I play a game or two and watch some videos, it doesn't last a day. Thankfully for the extra battery, but I have to swap it out every day at least. Then, ove...

I've now had my LG G4 for a good couple of months. And a good couple of months they've been! I finally got my 32gig SD card from CellC, and that's made a big difference to have some extra storage. The phone has 32gig on-board by default, but only about 22gigs of that is available to use. The only small issue I have is battery life. It isn't the best, especially when I use the phone a lot during the day. But it is something I can definitely overlook, since I got a spare battery and charger with the phone from CellC - at first I thought I won't use it, but it came in very handy when I was playing with my phone the whole day. Here is a list of some of the things I love about my G4: Smooth as silk - the interface and everything works great. Excellent camera - I love the camera, especially with the f1.8 lens it has, as well as optical image stabilization. You can even shoot in RAW! It also gives you manual controls for stuff like white balance, shutter speed and ...

For the last 6 years I've had Samsung phones. First one was the horrible Omnia, and boy oh boy that phone sucked! After that, I jumped on the Android bandwagon and got the awesome Galaxy S2 - I even blogged about it (read that blog here ). I loved my S2, but sadly, close to the end of the 2 year contract it died a miserable death. It just failed to boot, and I tried and tried to do the factory reset thing, but it didn't work. Then I got the Galaxy Note 3. It was slightly bigger than the S2, about 1.4 inches bigger haha. It was great. At first. I say "at first" because at some stage it got so ridiculously slow it wasn't even funny. I backed everything up and did a factory reset, but it never felt as fast and responsive as when I first got it. I was still a Samsung fan, however, and for my next upgrade I would probably have gone with the S6 or Note 5.  Then one of my friends came to visit, and she was bragging with her new Hauwei Ascend P7. I played a bi...
