The LG G4 for T-Mobile has a removable battery and a microSD card slot, but is held back by bloatware and heating issues.

Gut, dass das neue LG-Handy nicht die Macken des G4c an den Tag legt, sondern sich reibungslos bedienen lässt. Einige Abstriche im Vergleich zu den teuren Highend-Smartphones wie etwa dem G4 müssen die Nutzer des LG G4s aber natürlich machen: ...

The G4c takes the design of a flagship phone, miniaturises it a little, and slashes the cost. So far, so good. Sadly though, it strips out the high-end features that make the G4 such an extraordinary phone. What's left is a good all-round mid-range phone that offers excellent value for money. But there's nothing to get our juices flowing...

Using the G4 has left me with mixed feelings. As a keen phone photographer, I'd happily carry this ahead of a high-end rival, and be confident that it could produce pleasing results in all sorts of conditions. The battery life may be weak, but the ability to swap batteries and also expand the storage somewhat counteracts this. [...]

LG's 2015 flagship has a lot going for it, including a lovely pair of cameras and a screen that promises to be the most accurate on the market.As solid as the G4 is, though, it feels more like an iterative updatethan what LG really needs: a truly exciting flagship smartphone.
