Review in brief

The LG G4 Dual comes with two interchangeable covers in leather (optics) and plastic.There are 6 color variations.Bottom left of the speaker.
display
The 5.5-inch display has a resolution of Quad-HD, ie 2560 x 1440 pixels. It thus offers the same resolution as the dual-SIM version of the Samsung flagship Galaxy S6 (Test) What indicate the technical data is also confirmed in practice. The image quality is outstanding. Razor sharp, crisp vibrant colors visually makes the G4 before any other phone slightly. When the screen size "Dual Window" is also a useful thing: Here you can run two different apps in the upper and lower half of the screen.Curved scene
The image area is evenly arched so that the top and bottom of the image to the viewer bent toward. The tendency, however, is very withhold: they noticed my inspection, but it does not fall on especially. If one cell phone with the display facing downwards, the distance between center of the screen and the table surface is about 1 mm. Perhaps quite funny and (still) unusual - but in this test Curved design has neither disturbed nor shown certain advantages.camera
Premium performance in transmitted light: The G4 is equipped with an f1.8 aperture, a peak value compared to the best smartphones - whether for one or two SIM cards. This diaphragm allows a very high light absorption, so that images can succeed very well even in the dark. But the photos in the test are also apart from excellent. In particular, the image stabilizer is satisfied.

operating system
As far first dual SIM phone we had for testing in hands, provides the LG G4 Android 5.1, the latest version available at this time of the Google operating system. As with almost all smartphones, the brand manufacturer also dual SIM flagship has an additional user interface spendiert get: LG Optimus UX 4.0. And that brings some particularly useful features when operating with it. In particular, the control of the SIM card as an extra button in the virtual control bar is fun.Operation: LG Features
Already for a few years is LG with the physical and virtual keys other ways. First of all, are located on the front or on the sides no real buttons. But lying on the back, below the camera, three of them (see the image to the back cover above). The average is slightly higher and is used to activate / deactivate. The upper and lower control the volume with an active mobile phone.Standby: start camera and Notepad quickly
If the smartphone is turned off, you can start the camera directly above the top button. For those in a hurry: in the settings can be set whether you also want to directly take even the first photo when typing. The bottom button, which is otherwise "silent" for responsible, calling in off phone however directly to a Notepad app. So if you quickly what would note - the app starts so quickly that you should have it by then hardly forget.Freely assignable virtual keys
The virtually superimposable buttons at the bottom can be assigned freely. "Back", "app launcher", "Home screen" - which is rigidly fixed in almost all other mobile phones, can be switched as desired when G4 Dual. Total 7 virtual buttons are available, up to 5 of them can be simultaneously put into the control line. One of them, by default already active, has a special dual SIM function: it changes my tip from one SIM to another. More on this in section "Dual-SIM Control".Mobile Internet
Mobile Internet with LTE - the highest level, but only on SIM1 and without 800 MHz.
- LTE frequencies: Since LG has not provided the G4 Dual for the German market, the industrial nations, common frequencies are not specifically supported. The result: The H818P has mastered all of Germany's LTE bands, the H818N, however only two of them: The widespread in rural areas 800 MHz frequency is missing in this variant. One can accuse the producers badly - and after all, the first models of Samsung's top models S5 and S6 duo were not suitable for the 800 MHz band. Only a device upgrade that changed. At LG, there are at least two variants simultaneously. However, one must pay close attention to the designation when ordering.Incidentally, the previous model LG G3 Dual does not support this LTE frequency until today.
- LTE to SIM1 and SIM2: Each G4 Dual supported for the SIM card in the slot "SIM1" support all the broadcast standards, to LTE / 4G. In the second slot, the models differ on the other hand: the card in SIM slot number 2 can access the H818N only on GPRS. At least, we tested two different SIM cards with LTE tariff, in both no 4G and no 3G / H + was available. The H818P enables but on both SIMs. However, we had this version of the flagship not in the test.
Supported frequencies SIM1:
- LTE / 4G - (700, 800, 850, 900), 1800, 2100, 2600 MHz

particularities
- Change Cover in silver plastic
- Connector for charging cable - unfortunately in Chinese standard and thus unsuitable for our outlets (?). As it was in our test device to import from Hong Kong, as the data show on the packaging, which is a disadvantage that you have to take for "exotic" smartphones in purchasing.For charging, we just used a different connector, which went smoothly.
