LG G4 is finally here in the Philippines as LG Electronics Philippines had it's exclusive launch for select media, bloggers, celebs and dealers last night at The Theatre at Solaire.
LG G4 was introduced thru the help of LG Electronics officials Mr. Jay Won (VP for Mobile), Ms. Faith Mijares (Product Marketing Manager) and Mr Sung Woo Nam (Managing Director). They also had renowned photographer Mr. Niccolo Cosme and a number of celebrity endorsers like Japeth Aguilar and LA Tenorio of Barangay Ginebra, PBA legend Alvin Patrimonio, 2015 Bb. Pilipinas-Universe Pia Wurtzbach and known MV director and Pedicab band member RA Rivera.
And my first look of the LG G4. I'm lucky that I had a glimpse of ny personal fave black leather variant courtesy of one of the executives/dealers who attended at the said event.
I looked on the little but important things that you might not gonna saw in some of the previous LG G4 reviews. At the left, you'll gonna see the nice "control center" of the new LG UX 4.0 . Out of 32 GB ROM, it has an adequate 20+ GB for app storage.
A glimpse of the phone and messaging apps.
One of the exciting features that I really want to test first hand is the camera's extensive manual mode and it really works. I had the white balance which you can see there's a difference between 4000K and 2400K . What's more on the aperture, shutter speed and ISO.
We also managed to put the G4 in the latest Antutu 5.7.1 version with 64-bit enabled at it got a verified score of 45,836.
And I also brought some camera samples of course. All in auto mode.

First impressions: From my little time that I played the G4, I really felt the comfort of the device. That smartphone with 5.5 inch IPS Quantum Quad HD display for me is like holding a typical 4.7 inch smartphone. Both the metallic and the black leather variants that I tried are a-ok. The manual mode is my number one reason that I might gonna have the device soon. No lags at all with the Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor. The camera output is so great.
The LG G4 here will be available in dual micro SIM at Php 31,990 for the metallic variants and Php 32,990 for the leather versions.
