First thing first. I have been watching almost every reviews coming on youtube about G4. But all those well-known guys like Pocketnow, Android authority, Android central, Android police, CNET etc etc never touch broadly a few issues. I have been writing on their page about some of my thoughts so that someday they can ask a poll or something that guys, do you want this??? These guys have good connection with different manufactures, right? people listen to them, watch them. They can change many things if they want, but they usually don't make a poll over some common guy's request, right? So here I am. I am writing 5 of my thoughts about LG G4 and asking you to support me by comments if you like any of my points and hopefully some very generous guy will bring a topic or two from here to the concerned guys.

1. OIS: LG made a big blow in their launching ceremony of G4 about the 3-axis OIS. But let's face it. All the video sample reviews & comparisons I have seen, S6's conventional OIS is far better than LG's. G4's videos are much more..what should I say...distorted as if someone is stretching the corners of the video from different angles. Even smoothness is not also as near as S6's. Brightness too. So is this just a gimmick or really G4 can provide better stabilization with one more axis by a little bit software upgrade by LG? btw what were LG people doing in the lab when they were comparing every single aspect of S6 with G4? Didn't they see the difference??

2. Wireless charging: Ok. It may not be as important as fast charging, but why to exclude it? Yah right now I want to buy a G4 with leather back. But after some days, probably some 3rd party companies will bring back covers with Qi-chip attached. Then what will I do?? I would prefer a leather back with Qi-chip, won't u? I heard that, that leather back is pretty costly?? so won't be it a wastage of money if those Qi-chip enabled covers are brought out? Why LG just doesn't insert a Qi-chip in those leather back panels b4 mass marketing??? Do it LG. You need not be 50$ cheaper than S6, rather insert a 20$ chip, still you will be 30$ cheaper than S6.

3. No manual video mode: Yah all the reviewers are upset saying that why no manual control in video mode?? I think LG can make it possible by software upgrade. But qs is will they do it? LG G4 shows that people from LG really worked hard for the device. Then why not a bit more? Come on LG, speak up. Will you do it?

4. Theme app: I think HTC One M9 has really upgraded the game of customization of stock android by releasing their theme app. Samsung also followed it in S6. Then why not LG? Yah theming probably still possible, but those are not as integrated or expanded as of HTC or Samsung. So is it possible LG working on it??

5. Accessories: This is for 3rd party companies. For the longest time, iPhone has been dominated as the king of smartphone photography with their pretty and powerful camera setup. So it's natural that 3rd party companies will build accessories for their camera more and more. Yah there were a few smartphones earlier which were more focused on camera or for which developers found interest to work on, like S4, S4 Zoom or even S5 or Note 3,4. Even look at the microphone below. This is also for iPhone..damn it.

Yes I am not denying that there are kind of alternatives out there in the market. But they are either poorly built or not easily available. I am talking about quality accessories which are also affordable to many. G4 has come. So why not these companies initiating making products for it n bless us...... I really hope someone will request these companies to do so. Here are the names of a few quality product makers: Olloclip, Schneider, Hitcase, Relonch, Ztylus,, Photojojo etc.

Well guys, thanks for listening. Now please someone come forward and take some steps. Peace.

Under Your Skin
1. Seems it is pretty well know many who have been posting these did NOT have final release software.
2. wireless charging is in there ready to go, so you will, as in the past, likely be able to buy a $5 sticker and activate WC and keep your preferred cover
3. no answer. does this even exist in other phones or were they "expecting" it because there was a manual mode for the camera?
4. wow, people actually care about theming? I find it to be an utter waste of time and something I would and will never use - so there is a counter perspective.
5. the phone is hardly even out world wide and not even in the USA - have you really even allowed any time at all to see what surfaces?

Wow..nice point of view. I really appreciate.
1. Yah but if LG is working on something, why not they are vocal about it?? I mean this is an era of social media, right? That's what make me curious about it that is LG really conscious about it? See what Mr. Frank Lee said at the G4 unveiling event in New York sounded like LG had been listening to people's voice i.e. making a few mm thicker phone in favour of bigger battery, making an outstanding camera etc. etc. And also LG has been experimenting with providing trial usage with selective customers. So all these sound like they have been trying to reach people. But then they are not saying anything new about it. For example, they could say that they made this upgrade based on people's opinions n etc. But nowhere you will find anyone of LG talking about anything anymore.
2. You see my point was why not LG include this WC built-in. They did this 1 month free trial usage program, right? For what? 90% people are saying they want it, so why not include it?
3. Probably I want the manual mode in video camera because I saw a comparison video of S6 & G4 video capability and in that S6 was much more brighter and pleasant to watch.
4. Nice opinion.
5. I know this will come. But again my complaint is the same. Why nowhere in internet I find someone is going to or already building those accessories for G4. Why not be vocal about it??? :) People do place "coming soon" products in their website, right???
Again, thanks for reply. I appreciate. Peace.

The only thing what "worries" me is the OIS indeed.
I hope and guess it will be solved in the final version or an update.
From what I have understood. The OIS 2.0 benefits from the photo mode. And it affects in a bad way on filming.

The rest from your points doesn't really bother. But hope you will find your satisfaction.

Thanks.
