Hardware Showdown: iPhone 6s vs LG G4
Perhaps you’re wondering just how good these new iPhones (iPhone 6S and iPhone 6s Plus) are that were announced earlier this week. Maybe you’re wondering how they stack up against the competition.
We all know about the age-old argument about how the iPhone has “inferior” specs to the Android flagships. We also know about how Apple is behind the times, and needs to catch up to the rest of the world. So what exactly is it about the iPhone that makes it such a heart throb for the Apple-lites around the world? Check out this graphic to see what’s under the hood between these two devices.
In this edition of the AndroidGuys Hardware Showdown, we are pitting the iPhone 6s against the LG G4.

ZeroLemon releases giant 8500 mAh battery pack for the LG G4
As we slowly see most OEMs transition away from removable backs, a number of phones have adopted quick charging tech as sort of a band-aid for the issue of not being able to quickly swap out batteries. Of course, not everyone sees this as a worthy solution, and that’s why devices like the LG G4 are a refreshing alternative for these types of users.
But what if you’re not just looking to have a replacement battery or two? What if size and weight aren’t an issue, and you just want the best battery life possible? That’s where the ZeroLemon 8500 mAh giant brick of battery could come in handy. The 3000 mAh battery that comes in the LG G4 is pretty decent as it is, but 8500 mAh is more than enough to provide three-day life, even with fairly heavy use, and likely will make it much longer with lighter usage.

Such a battery instantly kills the G4’s aesthetics, but not everyone will care. Some people just like the idea of having a phone that rarely needs charging, others will probably use the regular back and battery most of the time but like the idea of having an 8500 mAh battery for camping trips and other situations where they will have very limited access to an outlet. Bottom-line, it’s nice to have the choice, even if the ZeroLemon is admittedly appealing only to a small niche.

Those interested can now get the battery for just $59.99 with an 180-day money back guarantee if it doesn’t live up to the battery quality promised.
By the numbers: iPhone 6S vs the Android competition
Android has already seen its share of excellent flagship smartphones this year, offering up some cutting edge pieces of technology and plenty of general improvements over last year. Apple has now joined the fray with its new iPhone 6S and S6 Plus, so let’s see how they stack up against the very best that Android has to offer.
Despite the growth in lower cost competitors and the mid-range Android phones this year, we still turn to the renowned major brands for the very top of the line hardware. For this comparison, we’re bringing out the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Sony’s Xperia Z5 Premium, the LG G4 and the HTC One M9.

Display technology has seen some major advances this year. Samsung has brought its curved QHD AMOLED to the mainstream with its Edge range, Sony has pushed out the first 4K smartphone with the Xperia Z5 Premium and Huawei announced its Force Touch display with its Mate S.
Apple remains behind the leading Android smartphones when it comes to display resolution (750 x 1334/326ppi on the iPhone 6S and 1080p on the 6S Plus), as more manufacturers push to QHD and beyond for their major flagships. Instead, Apple’s big display feature is 3D Touch, which appears to be a rebranded form of the Force Touch from the Apple Watch.
This new feature allows users to interact with the screen through deeper presses as well as just regular touches. The deep touches allow for features that are baked throughout iOS, like the ability to launch the camera into selfie mode by deep pressing its shortcut, or the ability to preview images and other elements without opening them. If it sounds familiar, it’s because many of these UI features have been used on Android in various forms, with long presses as a trigger.
There’s a similarly divisive split between the two groups’ approaches to processing technology. While all of this year’s Android flagships have bumped the core count up to at least six, Apple is sticking with just two higher performing CPU cores in its A9 SoC. The new A9 processor is touted to be 70 percent faster at CPU tasks and 90 faster at GPU tasks compared to the A8 from last year. There’s no confirmation yet, but it’s believed that Apple has decided to bump up the amount of RAM to 2GB in its latest iPhone, which would bring it closer to the 3GB standard found in these Android flagships.
None of these flagship handsets should struggle in demanding scenarios or when it comes to multi-tasking and will handle all of the latest games. Only small benchmark differences will be able to tell us the differences between these handsets.
The iPhone 6S also features bigger numbers when we look at the phone’s camera sensors. The 8-megapixel rear camera has been bumped up to 12 megapixels, although that still falls short of the resolution of the excellent sensors found in handsets from LG, Samsung and Sony. That said, more pixels don’t always result in better pictures, and it’s likely that the iPhone 6S’ camera remains one of the best around. The iPhone 6S also vastly improves its front facing camera, offering a more competitive 5 megapixels with of resolution that catches up to most Android flagships. The LG G4 is slightly ahead with an impressive 8MP sensor on the front.
| iPhone 6S | Xperia Z5 Premium | Galaxy Note 5 | Galaxy S6 Edge | LG G4 | HTC One M9 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Battery | 1810 mAh (TBC) | 3,430mAh | 3,000mAh | 2,600mAh | 3,000mAh | 2,840mAh |
| Fast Charging? | No | Quick Charge 2.0 | Yes | Yes | Quick Charge 2.0 | Quick Charge 2.0 |
| Wireless Charging? | No | No | Qi and PMA | Qi and PMA | Qi (optional cases) | No |
| Fingerprint Scan? | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| IP rating | No | IP68 | No | No | No | No |
| Dimensions | 154.4 x 75.8 x 7.8mm | 153.2 x 76.1 x 7.6mm | 142.1 x 70.1 x 7mm | 148.9 x 76.1 x 9.8 mm | 144.6 x 69.7 x 9.6 mm | |
| Weight | 180g | 171g | 132g | 155g | 157g |
When it comes to additional features, there quite a bit of diversity between the big Android brands, let alone Apple’s iPhone 6S. Sony remains firmly committed to water and dust resistance, which you won’t find with any of the other major flagships. Samsung still has the only dual-mode wireless charging phone in our flagship selection. With battery life still questionable, Apple’s choice for a small 1810 mAh battery might not suit power users who are used to 3,000mAh cells found in some Android phones. Extras like Quick Charging are useful here to make up the gap, but Apple doesn’t appear to be adopted a similar technology of its own yet.

LG retains its unique camera laser autofocus features and also supports Qi wireless charging, providing that you buy an extra case. HTC seems to be the most barebones handset when it comes to extras, but its front facing BoomSound speakers are still some of the best in the business.
Fingerprint scanners seem almost like a must have feature these days, but you won’t find one on every Android flagship. Sony has joined the party with its Xperia Z5 range, but LG and HTC didn’t include them on their flagships this year. Extra services that use the fingerprint scanner, such as Apple Pay and Samsung Pay, are certainly worth considering when you’re spending big cash on a flagship smartphone.
I would say it’s the little extras that mark the major differential factors between today’s flagship smartphones, and there is still a lot of diversity in both the iOS and Android spaces. Those who love Apple’s extra services will certainly get the most of the iPhone 6S, while those looking for more interesting hardware options will probably be able to find something right for them in the broad Android ecosystem.
Where does the iPhone 6S sit with you?
Sony Xperia Z5 Premium vs LG G4 quick look
Sony just took the wraps off their latest flagship offerings, including one that is the first smartphone in the world to boast a display with a 4K resolution. Naturally, everyone will be curious to see how the latest high-end smartphone from Sony compares its flagship competition. Here is a quick look at the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium vs LG G4!
The first thing you will notice when comparing these two devices is how different they look from each other. As far as the design language is concerned, Sony doesn’t stray too far from their formula, with the Xperia Z5 Premium featuring a glass and metal build similar to its predecessors. Gone is the signature large, round, power button from before however, with the device now coming with a wider power button that still looks quite unique. The reason for this change is to accommodate the touch type fingerprint scanner that is now integrated into the power button. In the short time I got to spend with the device, the fingerprint scanner seemed to be extremely fast and accurate, and the placement on the side actually makes a lot of sense.
On the other hand, the LG G4 brings together the best design elements of their last two high-end offerings, the G Flex 2 and the LG G3, culminating into the LG G4, with its subtle curve to the display, that is more pronounced when turning over to the back, as well as the signature LG rear button layout. While the design isn’t a dramatic departure from the the company’s norm, what LG tried to do in terms of uniqueness is seen in the material options available for the rear panel. Available in a plastic backing with a ceramic finish, or in leather with a variety of color options, the LG G4 does have its own way of being a head turner.
Both devices feature 5.5-inch displays, but as impressive as the Quad HD resolution and resulting 534 ppi of the LG G4 may be, the big story here is the 4K display that the Xperia Z5 Premium features, resulting in a pixel density just north of 800 ppi. The debate of Full HD vs Quad HD can now be put to rest, with the argument now likely moving to Quad HD vs 4K. While the merits of such a high resolution on a mobile phone display will be hotly debated, and the effect on battery life is yet to be seen, there’s no denying that this one impressive screen. Of course, there isn’t a lot of content available to really take advantage of the 4K resolution, but Sony is going to upscale all the media content to give it a sharper look. We’ll have to wait and see how well this actually works until we give the Z5 Premium the full review treatment.
Given that both smartphones are current generation high-end flagships, it’s no surprise that they feature the best that Qualcomm has to offer. The Xperia Z5 Premium comes with a Snapdragon 810, backed by the Adreno 430 GPU, while the LG G4 comes with a Snapdragon 808, backed by the Adreno 418 GPU, with both coming with 3 GB of RAM. The performance is as smooth as ever, with either device, and doing anything, from opening and closing apps, scrolling through various elements of the UI, to playing graphic-intensive games are handled easily, even though the hexacore processor of the of the LG G4 is considered the inferior of the two, it doesn’t really translate when it comes to real world performance.
On the hardware front, both devices offer 32 GB of on-board storage, along with expandable storage, up to 128 GB and 200 GB for the G4 and Z5 Premium respectively. As far as any extras are concerned, the Z5 Premium now comes with a fingerprint scanner, integrated into the re-designed power button on the side. The button and scanner are ideally placed to make it easy to unlock the device using your thumb, and is quite a nice implementation, compared to the more traditional placements up front and on the back. Also available with the Xperia Z5 Premium is the staple Sony feature of the device being dust and waterproof, and comes with an IP68 rating.
On the battery front, the LG G4 packs a 3,000 mAh battery, which is also user replaceable. The battery life the device offers is decent, but not great, but you do have the option to carry around spares. You also get to take advantage of Quick Charge 2.0 fast charging capabilities if you do run of out juice. The Xperia Z5 Premium comes with a 3,430 mAh battery, that is non-removable, and we will have to wait and see what kind of drain having to power a 4K display will cause.
In the case of the G4, a f/1.8 aperture package outshines the competition with a larger sensor over ones found in other flagships. OIS is also enhanced with a wider stabilization range. Color has been given a big focus, with LG adding in a color spectrum sensor found right next to the optics that will analyze the scene to help achieve the right white balance automati cally and accurately.The manual mode is another big story, as LG has put in all of the big features photographers get in full cameras – a full white balance gamut, a lot of ISO stops, manual focus, a histogram, and even the ability to shoot RAW and JPEG simultaneously. Overall, the LG G4 camera is one of the best in the business, and is certainly a very hard act to follow.
What is also an exciting aspect of the latest Xperia flagship is the new camera, with Sony introducing a major change in this department after a very long time, and we are really looking forward to putting this 23 MP ExmorRS sensor to the test. The Xperia Z5 Premium also features one of the fastest auto-focus capabilities around, and the device did a great job in the short time we got to spend with it. Hopefully, the camera is able to deliver the quality that it seems to be promising, and we can’t wait to put it through its paces.
The Xperia Z5 Premium is running Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, with Sony’s Xperia UI on top. The UI has seen a slight change, and now features a brighter palette. There isn’t a lot of extra however, and the overall experience remains quite close to stock Android, with only standard Sony features like Small Apps and PlayStation integration returning. In software, the G4 comes with a very familiar user interface that hasn’t changed much, but an optimized processing package allows for lag and stutter to be kept at a minimum. Many of LGs features have been retained, ranging from the useful, like Knock Code and Multiwindow, to the not so useful, like Smart Bulletin and Smart Notice.
So there you have it for this quick look at the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium vs LG G4! The LG G4 is one of the best Android smartphones released this year, but with features like a fingerprint scanner, an upgraded camera package, and of course, the insane 4K resolution display, on top of staples like the IP68 rating for protection against dust and water, the Xperia Z5 Premium, at least on paper, seems to be the more compelling choice.
AT&T rolling out Stagefright patch for LG G4
Still worried about the Stagefright vulnerability that could grant attackers control over your device with a simple MMS message? This issue left 95% of all Android users susceptible to attacks, but carriers and manufacturers have been quick to patch it up. It’s taking some companies more time than others, though.
Life is finally good again fore LG G4 users on AT&T. The carrier has started pushing out the Stagefright patch, taking many of you back to digital safety. It comes in the form of an OTA software update and seems to feature no other extra improvements.
All you need is enough battery life to go through the process and a stable WiFi connection for downloading the data. Got that set up? Simply wait for the upgrade notification to show up. You can also go ahead and check for updates in the settings, just in case the device is taking a little longer than it should. Do keep in mind these updates tend to roll out periodically, though, so try not to smash your screen.
Once all is said and done, you should be left with Android 5.1 Lollipop on software version H81010l. The file is 46.7 MB, so make sure you have enough space too. Enjoy your peace of mind!
AT&T LG G4 Stagefright update rolling out to consumers

The nasty little vulnerability labeled Stagefright took center stage not that long ago. It left approximately 95% of all Android device owners susceptible to attack on their devices from would be hackers via a MMS message, or picture message. Needless to say, a lot of people were worried about it as it would give the attacker full control over their devices. Since its discovery manufacturers and carriers alike have been working to plug the hole as quickly as possible. Just the other week AT&T pushed a patch out for the HTC One M9 and today they have begun rolling the patch out to their LG G4 devices.
The OTA that is rolling out doesn’t offer up anything else beyond being labeled as including “Device security improvements.” Although, in this case, that is a welcomed thing. The file is labeled as software version H81010I and weighs in at just 46.7MB’s. You will still want to make sure you have well over 50% battery life, a solid Wi-Fi connection and some time to let it install. Being so small, it shouldn’t take but a few minutes. If you don’t see the update pending in the notifications, you can navigate to Settings > General > About Phone > Update Center > Software Update. It still might not be presented to you, but it is coming.

Moshi iGlaze Napa for the LG G4 Review: leather and elegance for your LG G4
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
The LG G4 is a very rare device indeed – LG decided that its 2015 flagship should have an option of leather for its back cover, giving smartphone users an option of class that they might not necessarily have had with any other manufacturers. However, even if you got the leather version, you might still want to protect your device with a case, but it seems so futile since you’ll have all that beautiful leather hidden beneath the case. Well, for those of you in that situation, you might want to consider the Moshi iGlaze Napa for the LG G4, a case that has leather on the back – this also applies to all those LG G4 users who got the plastic version and feel they want a leather option now. We’ve been reviewing the Moshi iGlaze Napa for the LG G4 this week so let’s see what’s what.
What’s in the box
The box of the Napa is a relatively simple affair – you’ll get the case itself and a statement of lifetime warranty from Moshi. Not a bad start. The case itself is mostly constructed from a hard plastic which we’re guessing is some kind of polycarbonate which makes for a very hard and impact-absorbing case. As you have no doubt already guessed, that is leather on the back of the Napa – specifically vegan leather which seems pretty genuine to me.
On the case itself, you’ll get access to all ports of the device with ample space given to the flash and laser focus sensor beside the camera. Unfortunately we didn’t have a LG G4 dummy on hand to try with the Napa, however, if we assume it’s similarly fitting as the Moshi Sensecover case we reviewed the other day, the fit of the Napa should be tight but not difficult to get your device in and out of the case if required. There are no button covers to worry about as the LG G4’s buttons are all rear mounted and there is ample space for that to be reached.
How does it perform
If nothing else, the one thing that’s striking about the Napa is its looks. Even if you missed out on getting a leather back for your LG G4, you can now get it with the Napa, in either Metro Black or Garnet Red ,which is what we’ve got here – I find it’s more of a deep red/browny colour. Unlike the leather on the LG G4, the leather on the Napa doesn’t extend all the way to the corners, meaning it’s less likely that you’ll wear away the leather at the edges. It’s hard to tell how the leather will fare over a long time, but I had a scratch at it while taking these photos and it appeared to be quite durable.
Of course, for many of you protection is paramount and I’m glad to say that you will be well catered for with the Napa. Like all the good cases, the Napa has a raised lip which protects your display if you put it face down. Furthermore, since the leather doesn’t go around the corners of the case as well, you have very good coverage over the corners of the device which should easily withstand daily knocks and bumps.
What I like about the Moshi iGlaze Napa for the LG G4
I really just love the idea of the Napa as a case that offers leather on the back of the device. While I understand why people want cases on their smartphones, getting a case for a LG G4 with leather on the back always seemed like a moot point since you would never get to feel the leather once the case goes on. While that’s not untrue with the Napa since it is still a case, at least this way you still get the leather experience without the fear of damaging your phone. And it works doubly well for the LG G4 owners who didn’t get the leather and now want in.
What I don’t like about the Moshi iGlaze Napa for the LG G4
While Moshi doesn’t typically offer many colour variations of its cases, I was hoping that they’d make an exception for the Napa considering the number of coloured leathers you can choose from for the LG G4 itself – a white Napa would be killer. It’s definitely not a dealbreaker, but if you don’t like red or black, you may be out of luck here.
Final thoughts
The Moshi iGlaze Napa for the LG G4 is a wonderful case for owners who are looking to protect their LG G4 and still have the leather feeling when using their devices day to day. At $44.95 USD, it’s a bit dear for a case, but it’s unlikely most cases out there will give you the versatility of the Napa.

Snapdragon 808 will be the processor of choice for the LG Nexus 5 2015
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
While we’ve got a pretty good idea of what the new Nexus smartphone coming from LG looks like, the specifications of the device are still hotly contested. The latest rumours courtesy of Weibo alleges that the Snapdragon 808 will be the processor of choice for the LG Nexus 5 2015, no real surprise considering that it was the same processor LG used in its own flagship, the LG G4. Some may balk at the idea that the processor isn’t the latest and greatest, but using a slightly older processor that can hold its own will likely keep costs down for the overall device – and we all know that’s what we want to hear.
That’s not all that today’s report uncovers – the LG Nexus 5 2015 will also have a 5.2-inch Quad HD display, 3GB RAM and a 13MP rear camera. The 3GB RAM is likely to worry some performance junkies, but it’s been proven before that even the Nexus 6 with only 3GB RAM can still stick it to the latest from Samsung with 4GB RAM when multitasking. Of course, all of this is unconfirmed, but we can definitely see these specs happening.

LG’s rumored “super premium” device may be off the table
LG was earlier rumored to release a premium device during the second half of 2015, but new information now says that idea was never on the table.
LG president Cho Joon Ho during a meeting with the press said that the company never said anything about a “super premium” smartphone, however, Ho did say they were planning devices for the “medium and low-priced smartphone markets” in China and India.
“I predict that LG Electronics will improve this situation by releasing new models after end of September that can correspond to these markets,” Ho said.
The “Super Premium” device rumors could have instead been in relation to an LG-made Nexus, but it seems like something straight from LG is off the tables, since they’ll be focused on lower-end devices in China and India.
Either way, we’ll no doubt see LG’s usual yearly flagship refresh in addition to the rumored LG-made Nexus device soon.
