Nexus 6P and LG G4: 5 Things to Consider

Last week, Google announced the impressive new Nexus 6P, and it’s up for pre-order as we speak. As a result, many users are considering all their options when it comes to large phones or phablets. Another slightly smaller big-screen smartphone with similar specs is the LG G4. Here we’ll compare the Nexus 6P to LG’s G4 for those considering one of these new phones.

The LG G4 has been available for over a few months and is an excellent 5.5-inch smartphone with a few neat features. Buttons on the back, customizable leather replacement battery covers and more are all in a stylish package. However, Google’s new Nexus 6P also has a lot to offer for a similar or lower price point.

While LG made Google’s Nexus 5X, it didn’t make the Nexus 6P, so it’s a completely different phone made entirely of metal or aluminum rather than LG’s typical plastics. Google’s new Nexus packs many “firsts” for a Nexus smartphone, and offers a lot of things that should be on any buyer’s radar, even with a slightly raised camera on the back that looks oddly enough. Those debating which to buy will want to keep reading for a few key details about both.

With the LG G4, the company has stuck to what has worked for the past few years, while offering a few features that most companies no longer offer. It has the same 5.5-inch Quad-HD display as previous years, elegant bezels, leather options and rear buttons. It also has a replaceable battery and expandable storage with a micro SD slot, something Samsung and others have stopped offering.

LG’s new phone offers a pretty immersive experience making it a popular phone this summer, but now that it’s been available for a few months, some great options are available or coming soon, including the Nexus 6P.

It’s easier to decide between a device like the 5.7-inch Galaxy Note 5 because it costs almost twice as much, but the Nexus 6P and LG G4 are sold in similar sizes and have a lot of extra features that users will enjoy. Let’s examine a few key important aspects of both for buyers.
