The LG G4 - Leather clad beauty

With the attention has focused on the Apple iPhone 6 and the Samsung S6, a lot of people did not notice the launch of the LG G4. The phone is powered by a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 808 Processor with X10 LTE and comes with 3GB RAM and unlike the iPhone 6 and Samsung S6, the storage can be expanded up to 2TB via Micro-SD card. Moreover, the 3,000mAh battery is removable. Comes with optional wireless charging with the Quick Circle™ Case.


The phone has a 5.5" Size IPS quantum display and comes with 16MP rear camera with f/1.8 aperture and a 8MP front camera, ideal for taking selfies.

One interesting feature of the phone is the Gesture Shot and Gesture View features which allows you to take pictures by using certain gestures.

The phone comes with a choice of various premium back cover, namely, metallic gray, ceramic white, gold, and genuine leather (in brown, black and red).

New Sony Xperia Z4

Sony has released information about it's latest mobile phone, the Xperia Z4 on their Japanese website.


The Xperia Z4 has a 5.2-inch screen (similar to the Z3) and is 6.9mm thick. It is powered by a eight-core, 64-bit Snapdragon 810 processor. It also has a massive 3GB of RAM and runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop OS. Unique features includes the 20.7MP front and rear cameras, so be prepared for some ultra detailed selfies.

Like it's predecessors, the Xperia Z4 is also water and dust resistant. Something that both the iPhone 6 and the Samsung S6 don't have.

No news yet on prices and launch date. As far as I know, the Z3 sales were not that good despite all the positive reviews. I guess it has something to do with the price and the fact that Sony is no where near Apple in terms of brand desirability.

I really like the Xperia Z3 compact. However, no news on a compact version of the Z4 yet.
