A bold claim: LG plans on selling 12 million LG G4's

LG‘s latest flagship, the LG G4, was made official earlier today and it looks to be every bit as good as we expected (because we knew everything already). Not too long ago though, analysts were spinning a sad tale for the LG G4, saying that it was not going to sell as many handsets as its predecessor, the LG G3, did. The analysts attributed this largely to the unfavourable market conditions thanks to barnstorming sales by the Samsung Galaxy S6 and its curvy brother, the Galaxy S6 Edge. Furthermore, the Snapdragon 808 processor would be a key differentiator for some consumers. Even so, LG is confident that it is going to sellÂ 12 million LG G4’s Â – the LG G3 sold around 10 million handsets, for reference.

We’ll have to see whether LG’s bold prediction can, or will, come true, though the device has a lot going right for it. A fantastic new camera and probably the best Quad HD display on the market at the moment immediately jump off the page, but most everything else is similar or a marginal upgrade over its predecessor, and that’s not a bad thing. And for the fashion conscious, genuine leather back covers are now available for the LG G4, and in more colour options than the plastic variants.
