I purchased the unlocked AT&T version of the LG G4 phone for use on the Tracfone network. I had to reset the APN settings in order to receive data service on the Tracfone network. The phone was easy to set up and works very well. I did not like the various AT&T apps that came on the phone. If I wanted to make a call and pressed the Phone icon or the Contacts icon to screen would try to load an AT&T address book that did not exist. Touching the "back" arrow would take me to the proper phone section or contact list. When trying to return to the home screen from an app would continually show me default screen with 3 home screen choices and I would have to hit OK to return to home screen that I had previously designated. On the next phone purchase I may try an unlocked International model to see if there is less bloat ware. I am satisfied with the phone and look forward to getting more familiar with all of its features.Read full review

The phone looks very nice, has a very good specs on paper, and the price is very attractive. However, this phone has a lot of hardware issues. I have the phone for 1 day and have to return it back. The phone showed the following problems: 1. Half screen did not work. The screen split into two parts horizontally, and half worked. The other half showed a static signal. So the phone was not usable at all. It happened on both Android OS v5.1.1 (Lollipop) and v6.0 (Marshmallow). That means it is not the software problem, but rather the hardware problem. 2. Overheating problem. A short usage (30 min) of the phone with some downloading and setting made the phone back feeling hot. In winter, it would be good to warm your hand, but at room temp you wouldn't want to hold it. Overheating may cause performance problem. Other reported problems: with these two problems, I can not use the phone, and have to return it after one day. Besides the above problems, many people reported that the phone has root loop issue on manufacturing date before 09/2015, and also after 09/2015. I am lucky to have the screen problem on first day, so I can return it back. If these issues happened after 1 year warranty expired, you may have to repair it using your own money. Even worse, there are reports that after LG replaced the board assuming that it fixed the root loot problem, the root loot problem comes back again after short period. That means even LG does not know how to fix the problem. It is pure luck if you get a good or bad LG phone. Who wants a $300 phone waiting for the hardware problems to come anytime? So be wise: stay away from LG phones.Read full review

This phone is made with the same perfection as the iPhones. I just marvel at the perfection in these items. That said, my wife wanted a smart phone for quite a while and then bought this one at a very good price. The cameras and pictures are phenomenal. She uses it quite a bit with Whatsapp and it works flawlessly. She also uses the app to fly her 3dr drone.... Even the phone works perfectly! Imagine that! She now ASKS this thing for answers (instead of me...) and, surprisingly, it usually gives her answers! Altogether, really a very nice item which I would recommend highly.

I desperately needed a new phone, and this arrived with a defective battery. I would fully charge it, use it to make a brief call, and it would go from 100% to 45% battery life within 30 minutes, and be down to zero before 2 hrs passed. LG offered to fix it, but then I'd have the equivalent of a refurbished phone, instead of a brand new phone that should have worked without this kind of problem. I went back to a Samsung, put out more money, and am thrilled with what I got.

The Good: + US991 model will work fully with AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless networks (and pre-paid MVNO's). It does *partially* work with Sprint, but lacks all the necessary bands for service with them. + Factory Unlocked means, no carrier bloat; Phone is as light and efficient as it could be + Great value for a fully featured phone + Still one of the best cameras on a phone to date + Lots of extended battery options + Qualcomm Quick charge support + the subtle curve of the front makes it pleasing to hold for calls and is not enough to distort viewing of videos + SD card slot claims to support up to 2TB microSD cards... The Bad: - Lack of unlockable bootloader means no rooting options work. Which means no Magisk, no SuperSU, nothing. Which also means being bombarded with ads. - because of said ads in apps (*especially* YouTube), battery life is only marginally better than a Moto X Pure Edition on stock battery. - Latest updates still leave it on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. - Painfully slow charging without Quick Charge support. - "double tap to wake" feature on G4 is inconsistent per my usage - (infrequent, but) performance throttling tends to drop inputs if playing games on the phone, for me.Read full review
