LG hasn't yet said how much the G4 will cost or when it will go on sale. The company says it will last you more than a day on a single charge - which is helpful if you're constantly snapping battery-draining photos. The giant 3,000 milliampere-hour battery is a nice touch too. It's not a huge deal, but the Motorola Moto X, Samsung Galaxy S6 and all Microsoft ( MSFT) phones have gestures and button taps that open the camera no matter what state your phone is in. If you're in another app or on the homescreen, you'll have to tap on the camera app. The double click option is neat - but it only works if the phone screen is locked. Since the camera is the G4's most outstanding feature, the smartphone lets you get to the camera app quickly: just double-click the volume down button to open the app, and click it again to snap a photo. The G4 has an 8 MP front camera, and you can wave at the camera to snap a photo (no selfie stick required). The company didn't get cheap with the selfie camera like some other smartphone makers do.

For photographers who are more skilled than the average point-and-shoot camera user, that's a nice option for desktop photo editing. The phone even lets you save raw images instead of converting them to compressed JPEG files (caution: this will eat up your storage very quickly).

Shutter speed, ISO light sensitivity and white balance are all adjustable, allowing you to take professional-grade photos (if you know what you're doing).

The G4 gives you full control over the camera, as if you were using a digital SLR. They let you adjust some items, such as the focus and flash, but that's about it. The trouble with smartphone cameras is that they're pretty limited in the settings department.
