The LG G3 was one of the best Android devices of last year as it brought a raft of upgrades and innovations, including the first Quad HD display on a commercially available smartphone. Improving on the G3 was always going to be a challenge and this year’s flagship, the LG G4, comes with a series of refinements instead of innovations. How has LG made the handset even better? There’s a new camera, a curved design, a removable battery and expandable storage.
Is LG's best of the best enough to pose a serious challenge to the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge? Let’s take a closer look.

Design
The G4 borrows the design of the LG G Flex 2 and introduces a curved design to LG’s flagship G range for the first time. Unlike the curved phablet however, the G4’s curve is less pronounced and as a result, the handset is 6.3mm thick at its thinnest point (the edges) and 9.8mm at its thickest (the middle).
