WHAT LG HAS TO SAY

Phillip Anderson, Head of Public Relations at LG Electronics Australia, is suitably excited about the G4’s release.

“Last year was a fantastic year for LG Mobile in Australia, and there’s no doubt that the G3 really put us on the map as a serious smartphone contender,” he said. “But what we have now seen from the new LG G4 – in terms of incredible screen technology, beautiful design and next-level UX –represents some superb improvements on what was already a fantastic mobile device.

“Obviously, that step up excites us. We’re genuinely thrilled to be getting the LG G4 in Australia – it’s our new pride and joy, and we’re truly excited to see how it will fare. I can safely say we’re expecting some big things.”
