    Same like for P8 :)

    "3000R arc, whatever that means"

    If it's anything like the nomenclature curved TV and curved desktop monitor manufacturers have adopted, that means "a curve with a radius of 3000mm".

    Yap, that's it.
  • ToTTenTranz - Tuesday, April 28, 2015 - link

    As a comparison, the Flex 2 does a 700R arc. So curve with radius of 700mm.

    C'mon LG! All that showing-offs without any improvement in design. How about putting that display right in the center and front stereo speakers?
  • sonny73n - Tuesday, April 28, 2015 - link

    BTW this G4 is one of the ugliest designs I've seen. No way I'm gonna put that ugly thing on my good looking face ;)
  • Notmyusualid - Tuesday, April 28, 2015 - link

    Yep - gorgeous phone, but nobody is having my money again, until I have front facing speakers, and real buttons again(as opposed to on-screen type buttons). Oh, and microSD card slot too.

    Get that right, and my money is yours!

    Did I miss anything about being waterproof?

    Everytime I see "G4" I think of that Apple G4 PC.

    Quantum display is.... Quantum dot?
  • Ian Cutress - Tuesday, April 28, 2015 - link

    No, it's still liquid crystal. Quantum because quantum.
  • Peichen - Tuesday, April 28, 2015 - link

    Yeah, I think the Quantum display is just marketing talk and not actually related to a Quantum dot display.
  • edzieba - Tuesday, April 28, 2015 - link

    Yes. The Quantum Dots are used to produce a backlight with more widely spaced primaries and with more energu efficientcy (one colour of light ism produced by the backlight illuminator, and the other two (or three, potentially) are produced by that light exiting the Quantum Dots causing them to emit light of the desired wavelength.

    Billing it as a 'Quantum Dot display', is like how LCD TVs with LED backlights are marketed as 'LED TVs'.

    We'll see how the camera is. From the "sample photo" comparison, G4 just overexposed and blew out the highlights.
  • coburn_c - Wednesday, April 29, 2015 - link

    Not up to their previous standards. They must be cost saving in several areas.
  • coburn_c - Wednesday, April 29, 2015 - link

    The release event I mean.
  • notorius - Wednesday, April 29, 2015 - link

    They probably realized they could get more bang for their buck to make a solid phone that meets 95% of potential buyers needs without having an octo core power guzzling heat monster. Improve the camera, improve the screen, drop power consumption and bam, looks like a solid option to me.

    It is believed that Smartphone Application development is the key to future and will grow at a much faster rate than ever before. Smartphone Apps seem to become a much wider platform in the coming years. So, prefer to buy Smartphones Digital products from Syberplace for their smart technology through online. And they would give a great experience with its features for the users and provides time consuming for everyone by booking through online .
