LG G4 Unlocked Smartphone with 32GB Internal Memory, 16 MP Camera and 5.5-Inch IPS Quantum Display for GSM and CDMA, US Warranty (Black Leather)

I tried the Samsung S6 and it gave me nothing but fits. The S6 always had me retype passwords to reconnect to WiFi networks I routinely use (i.e. home and work). Apparently no fix. I gave up my larger Asus Zenfone 2 to "upgrade" to the Samsung. The S6 DOES have a better display and IS faster, but I really missed the larger screen (5.1" on S6 vs. 5.5" on the Asus). Since the LG G5 was recently released I figured the G4 (last years "flagship" phone) would/should be a little less expensive. Which it is. It's not the latest generation LG phone but it operates MUCH MUCH better and faster than the Zenfone 2. It's also thinner/lighter and I can replace the battery on the G4. Plus (a big plus for me) it runs Android v. 6 (aka Marshmallow). Love this OS. Camera is much better than the Zenfone considering it has a larger aperture, laser focusing, and OIS (optical image stabilization). Update 10-2016: Still working fine. Thank goodness it doesn't have that boot-loop some people complain about. I put a Straight Talk SIM card (using AT&T network) and it works like a charm. I can even tether my Samsung tablet to this phone when there's no Wi-Fi around. In essence my phone becomes a little Wi-Fi hot-spot, WITHOUT costing extra. Camera works great and it takes better photos than the Samsung S6. For sure better photos than the Asus Zenfone 2. A word of caution--I bought two extra batteries for this phone. It seems one of those new (non-LG, knock-off) batteries mysteriously causes my phone to intermittently reboot for some unknown reason. Hmmmm? Maybe that's why folks have issues with their phones that have a boot-loop issue. Maybe it's their stupid battery? LG's "skin" operating system is not too obtrusive, considering there are very few duplicate applications loaded. For example you'll find only one internet browser (Chrome) and almost everything is straight Google. It comes pre-loaded with Google Docs, Sheets and Slides. You can uninstall these if you want. Honestly I doubt I'll ever edit ANY MS Office documents on my phone. Maybe view but rarely will I edit a document. I love LG's sleep/wake function by double tapping the screen, verses finding/hunting/groping for a button to push. My G4 variant is US991 which typically translates to a US Cellular phone. I was a little concerned this phone would not accept or have a SIM card slot because US Cellular phones typically don't utilize SIM cards and the associated networks. But the Amazon description of this phone DID say it would work with AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint networks. Since I use Straight Talk SIM card which uses the AT&T network, I was concerned and had my doubts if this phone would work. Thus I didn't want to by a used (i.e. less expensive) G4. I wanted a new warranty and I wanted the option to return the phone if it didn't work. Well... it works GREAT. Plus it's truly unlocked. Unlike the unlocked Samsung S6, with this G4 I can use it as a hotspot and tether my tablet to the G4. The Samsung was unlocked so I could use the Straight Talk SIM card, but AT&T still had it's tentacles inside the phone preventing me from tethering another device with the phone. Bottom line - I would definitely buy this phone again. I noticed the price increased about $40 since I purchased mine. Now that I know a Straight Talk SIM works in this phone, I wouldn't hesitate buying a used G4 from Amazon - but only if the condition is "like new". That's my opinion anyway.

I own a T-Mobile LG G4 (the H811). This phone was absolutely perfect on android lollipop. The battery life wasn't excellent, but it was average and it got me through the day. One day I decided to restart my phone and it upgraded to marshmallow automatically. It totally ruined a perfect phone and made what as once the perfect smartphone into a mediocre phone. 3 stars at best (really 2.5 stars). The battery life is absolutely horrible. I had to buy a 6000 mah battery for it which made the battery life decent. It should be excellent with a 6000 mah battery. If I want to download an image from the web it doesn't even save. The worst part about the phone since the marshmallow upgrade, is that the WIFI is horrific. Sometimes youtube videos don't even load if I'm on WIFI and I know that it's not my router because I tried several routers and I've had the same issues with all of them. It's really sad because this was a perfect smartphone that they basically ruined. It was also the last high end smartphone with a removable battery, a removable back cover, and removable memory which I think should be a requirement for all high end phones. The only good things about it at this point are the camera, the speaker volume, and the display. I wish I had the opportunity to downgrade back to Lollipop to make this phone the perfect smartphone once again. They make it very easy for you to upgrade the firmware and impossible to downgrade the firmware. Very disappointed about that. I hope they at least fix the WIFI issue when the roll out the next software update. That would at least make it a 4 star phone. Because I don't like any of the new phones that are out and I used to love my LG G4, here I am again buying the US991. I hope the US991 doesn't have the same problems as my H811 because this phone was the perfect smartphone and it has the potential to be the perfect smartphone. I'm also concerned about the bootloop issue that everyone keeps talking about, but I never had that issue. If this US991 turns out to be 90% of the smartphone that my H811 was before the marshmallow update, I'm updating this review and giving it 5 stars. Updated: The US991 is much better than the H811. The WIFI works perfectly on it and Marshmallow isn't bad on it either.
