LG G4 First Encounter Specs, Price, Philippines

LG new flagship is finally here in the country! Got to test it out for a while.



In terms of design, LG always pushes things further by incorporating genuine leather in black, brown, and red with threaded stitches for LG G4 to provide a very sleek look and premium feel, . Fashionista may want this to pair of with their ensemble or ootd. Or you may opt for a futuristic 3D array pattern back covers in metallic grey, white ceramic, and shiny gold.



It is easy to hold that comfortably sits in your hands and has nice grip to it that can be attributed to LG G4 Slim Arc Design. The 5.5 inch QHD Quantum Display produces a very crisped, detailed, and rich colors.

Under the hood is a 1.8GHz Hexa-Core Snapdragon 808 Processor supported by 3GB RAM with 32GB Internal Phone Storage. MicroSD card slot is available for additional storage. The LG G4 with Android 5.1 Lollipop was quick and I hardly experience any lags considering many apps run on the background as there were many who tested it before i got my hands on it.



On to its camera features for which I think is the LG G4 major selling point. The 16MP primary rear camera is very snappy, accurately focuses your target, and captures it in great detail. With F1.8 lens it let you take in more light that is very ideal for low light capture. With Manual Mode. you get to experience taking shots like a pro by changing you ISO (50-2700) settings to control noise and sensitivity, Shutter Speed (1/6000 sec to 30 secs) for long exposure, White Balance and Manual Focus.

Look here for Camera Samples: >> LG G4 Test Drive Gallery...

For connectivity, you have the complete range from the normal WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS to USB-OTG, MHL or HDMI via slimport and also NFC. It is a Dual SIM handset so you get to have more networks available to you.

Battery is at 3000mAh which should be sufficient for your moderate use of phone functions, internet and games. You do need a Quick Circle Case and Wireless charger to wirelessly charge your G4.

One comment though, the leather back is prone to wear and tear as seen o the picture above so guess need to be careful and stay away from sharp objects.

Overall, LG G4 is on the forefront again in terms of design, built, optics and functionality. At a glance, you can clearly distinguished the LG aesthetics to standout. Incredible built quality is assured with well made and quality polycarbonate. Lots of customizations for the User and great value added apps. Excellent Optics that let you capture moments in focus like a pro in a snap. LG might once again snag the King of Phones title this year.

MWC: Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Samsung unveils its two latest galaxy smartphones - The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung has focused on Design, Performance, and Enterprise. +Samsung Mobile



With design, Samsung focused on craftsmanship, making use combination of glass and metal. Metal frame filling the middle that has rounded edges and gemstone finishing as sandwiched by two thin built-to-last Gorilla Glass 4 and that makes these smartphones easy to hold as well as captivating to see, an improvement from its all plastic past.

The new Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge will offer "awesome" display at 5.1 inches Super AMOLED QuadHD (2560 x 1440 p) that translate to 577 ppi for more clear, vivid and detailed viewing pleasures.



The Galaxy S6 Edge sets its apart from its S6 sibling, being the first smartphone with dual curved display. The "Edge" will provide a new unique way of notification as it glows when you get call messages from your favorite contacts.

Powering the devices is Samsung own Exynos 7420 Octa-Core Processor with  Mali-T760 GPU. Heating issue plague Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 and so guess they did'nt want to take the risk. This Exynos processor is 64bit based on 14mn process which Samsung claims to be powerful yet more energy efficient. It is similar with Snapdragon 810 as it also utilize 4 Cortex-A57 cores at 2.1GHz and 4 Cortex-A53 clocked at 1.5GHz. For Memory, it makes use of LPDDR4 at 3GB RAM and Universal Flash Storage is employed for storage, a combination of SSD and EMMC for faster performance and reads with options of 32GB / 64GB / 128GB. With the new design of Galaxy S6 however storage expandability has been sacrificed.


Samsung is boasting the new camera with f1.9 aperture size that captures more light that improves low-light outputs for the primary 16MP rear camera and 5MP front camera. OIS is still present along with other nifty tricks Object Tracking AutoFocus, "Real Time HDR", and 4K Video Recording.

Complete range of connectivity - LTE Cat. 6, Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 4.1, NFC, GPS, and IR blaster for both smartphones. Fingerprint has been improved with one touch feature rather than swipe. Heart rate doubles up as sensor for white balance. As for battery, a 2550mAh for Galaxy S6 and 2600mAh for the Galaxy S6 Edge. Built-in Wireless charging that supports most of industry hardware Qi and PMA for fast and cable-free well charging without additional case, or hardware needed.

A new, intuitive and cleaner TouchWiz UI to top of Android Lollipop. Samsung also introduces it new Samsung Pay to counter Apple Pay for mobile payments. Samsung Knox to provide security for business and enterprise.

The Galaxy S6 will be available in White Pearl, Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum, and Blue Topaz. While for Galaxy S6 Edge comes in same colors except for Blue Topaz but with Green Emerald option. Said to come in April in selected markets and more on May

Had a brief encounter with both flagship as Model Units were available at Digital Plaza at Gateway Cubao.

  

Samsung has really stepped up in construction as compared to previous plastic flagships. It is now top grade status but I am haunted by its similarities to iPhone 6 aesthetics. Handling was no problem as it is light and the curves really is great for grip though the back if fingerprint magnet. I also notice that the capacitive buttons cannot be seen nor does not light up so might guess if where the back and menu button for first time users.



Handling the Galaxy S6 Edge gave a lasting impression with dual curved glass that makes the screen seems endless and making it feel slim and thin. Lying flat you could see colors stream out and change when you get a notification from your favorite contacts. In terms of design, S6 Edge stands out.

Got to test the camera, both takes fast and produces great outputs. Though was not able to bluetooth the output as the Guard standing by is telling me that N Photo Op allowed. hahaha There was no lag when running and multitasking between apps so I guess the Exynos is quite capable.

Overall, Samsung really made things better for Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Gone are their days of plastic construction and finally made something wonderful to look at and hold. To top that they also thought of performance with their own Exynos chip and pushed further improvement in optics. So geeks want one? Pre-Order has begun!

Cloudfone Excite 501o - Cheapest Octa-Core Android Smartphone

Presenting the most affordable Octa-Core Android Smartphone (for now) in the Philippines, Cloudfone Excite 501o.

The 501o will house a 5 inch qHD IPS Display powered by 1.7GHz Octa-Core Processor Mediatek MT6592 complimented with 1GB RAM and 8GB Internal Storage. It is a Dual SIM/Dual Standby handset and comes with WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and 3G/HSPA+ for connectivity. For its optics, it is equipped with 8MP Rear camera supported with Flash and 5MP Front-facing camera. Runs on Android 4.4 KitKat which should give you a more dated Android Experience. Other than that it supports USB-OTG which should provide additional set of connectivity and is great playing games on a controller.

The Excite 501o by Cloudfone is a notable contender for the Octa-Core ng Bayan Crown. Though not HD but 5 inch qHD will perform much better and more energy efficient together with full-blown Mediatek Octa-Core processor (Not the mobile version compared to others). 5MP Front camera is another thing to consider, banking on the selfie trend like its competition. Finally, it is price for only 4,999 PESOS which should make it the most cheapest Octa-Core in the market today.
