Product Review - @LGSouthAfrica G4 Beat @LGMobileSA Android #Smartphone

Hi Guys,

LG Electronics have been the front runners in the mobile phone industry along with their South Korean counterpart Samsung. Going on facts which will soon be true or must be true that both of these must be having more than 40-45% shares in the World's Home Appliances and Smartphones industry. They are not as aggressive as Samsung is with their marketing campaigns but they have some great smartphones with top of the edge technology to separate them from other brands. I totally fell in love with the back buttons on LG G2 and the trend continued till LG G4. LG G5 was also launched with its revolutionary modular battery design where they had to go away with rear buttons design. 

I got LG G4 Beat unit to review for two weeks and share my experience with the world. It happened since I went to the launch event of LG G4 and the PR company wanted me to review this particular model. Not as powerful as LG G4, G4 Beat still beats your heart at much cheaper price tag. 

The first thing that caught my attention was the removable covers in black and brown leather and metallic textures. Once installed on the unit, they really gives a different touch and feel to the handset which can go depending on your mood and setting. I simply loved the black leather cover. The smartphone weights only 140 grams. The phone takes micro SIM which can have network capability to LTE Cat4, HSPA+, EDGE and GPRS.

LG G4 Beat is equipped with 8MP rear camera with manual mode and also fast laser auto focus so that you never miss a moment. LG G4 Beat has 5MP selfie camera is equipped with gesture controls to take multiple selfies in succession. The smartphone has 1.5 GB RAM and 8GB ROM but that can be expended using micro-SD card upto 32GB.

LG G4 Beat has Qualcomm MSM8939 1.5GHz Octa Core processor along with 2300 mAh battery which runs on Android Lollipop (5.1) operating system. The screen size is 5.2 inch full HD display with True IPS display and In-Cell Touch Technology which means that touch sensors are integrated into the display.

Along with that there are many more features which has been incorporated into the smartphone like the state-of-the-art, infrared-sensitive color spectrum sensor which analyzes and measures all of the visible light within a scene before a short is snapped, ensuring that an image’s colors appear natural and vivid even in dim conditions. There are multiple other applications like Glance View, Knock code, Q Slide and Q Memo+.

In  the end this is the last smartphone from LG which has buttons in the rear of the smartphone and I really liked the same. 8MP camera is enough as it gives you power to control the camera with manual mode. The smartphone is going at around ZAR3-4k but still a wonderful device to have.

A Smartphone to “See the Great, Feel the Beat” @LGMobileSA #G4BeatSA

Hi Guys,

LG Mobile has acquired a reputation for being an industry pioneer, offering solid mobile electronic options to consumers across the market spectrum. The launch of their latest offering, the LG G4 Beat ‘accessible-premium’ device, is testament to this and gives a great competition to the market in it's segment. All the mobile manufactures this year are launching three range of devices - main, compact and premium or phablet types and so does LG with it's main G4, compact as G4 Beat and phablet as G4 Stylus coming soon too. 

LG took an emphatically human-centric approach by focusing on what many consumers actually look for in a smartphone; a great looking design, color rich display and a picture perfect camera for taking photos on the go. As a result the Korean manufacturer has delivered a device that is an every-day champion, creating what they believe is the critical success factor - a “Great Visual Experience”. 

LG G4 Beat is a stylish, high-performance, smartphone that takes inspiration from the premium design of the G4, positioned in the ‘mid-tier’ from a price point perspective, but emphatically premium as a package. The LG G4 Beat lives up to its positioning of “Uncompromised but Premium” 

The LG G4 Beat with its well-balanced specifications may arguably pass off as a high-end smartphone that I need to check on an actual review device once I get the same. Offering an 8-megapixel autofocus rear camera and 5-megapixel front camera, the G4 Beat has been designed to respond to the selfie phenomenon with the bespoke Gesture and Gesture Interval Shot features. It is powered by an octa-core, 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor paired with a 1.5GB RAM and includes an internal storage of 8GB and LG UX 4.0 – operating on Android Lollipop 5.1.1.

The 5.2 inch full HD in-cell zero gap touch display creates a slimmer look while maximising the display area and minimising bezel width. By bringing images closer to the screen, the in-cell touch displays offers improved sensitivity with faster touch recognition, better outdoor visibility and sharper images. 

Although more compact than its parent model, it has one of the most ergonomic shapes found on any phone on the market. The gently curved display with advanced metallic skin on the back is the most comfortable form of both viewing and holding a device, providing equal distance from all parts of the display to the eyes that allows no distortion. In order to maximize consumer value, LG Mobile will supply the G4 Beat with an additional ‘genuine leather’ back-cover in the box, through December 2015, further enhancing the premium positioning and the G4 Family DNA which is really cool by the way as this really enhances the look of the smartphone. 

Notable features reminiscent of the parent flagship includes Manual Mode which allows users take professional looking pictures by manually setting the white balance, shutter speed and ISO; Gesture Interval Shot; a Colour Spectrum Sensor and Laser Autofocus. I really loved this feature as it gives you access to all the setting on the screen and you can play with them to create your perfect shot without any post-processing of the photograph. The 2,300mAh removable battery also keeps the G4 Beat running through a full day of normal use. The LG G4 Beat will be available to local consumers in end August and I am really looking forward to get a review unit soon. 

Cheers!!!
