It's about about a function that allows you to get necessary information by swiping your finger across the screen without full unlock devices. Now you know everything you need to know about the LG G4C smartphone. We tried to make the review of the device as detailed as possible.
This year, the mobile division of the South Korean company introduced new flagship LG G4, and after it more simplified models were announced. One of these is the LG G4c H522y review of the Russian version, which we present today. In fact, the device in its specification is close to smartphone Magna from the same manufacturer, but with a different processor.
Appearance
Let's start our LG G4c review with external data. The body of the device is quite massive, and it is made mostly of plastic, but the entire front part is covered with glass. However, it feels comfortable in the hand due to the rounded design.
On the front panel there is a company logo, light and proximity sensors, a selfie camera, and speaker. At the back there is a camera with an LED flash, a power button, a volume rocker, and below is the main speaker and logo.
On the right side you can only find a special cutout for removing the cover; there is nothing on the opposite side. At the top end there is a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack and an additional microphone, and the bottom end has a conversational microphone and a connector for a Micro USB cable.
LG G4c is equipped with a 5-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 1280 x 720 (HD) and a pixel density of 294 ppi. There is no air gap, nor is there an oleophobic coating, but this function is performed by a film that is glued straight out of the box. Of the interesting sensory functions The display contains Knock Code and Glance View, the latter of which allows you to see the time and the presence of new notifications on the locked screen. At the core hardware there is a 4-core MediaTek MT6752 processor with clock frequency 1.5 GHz, Mali-T760 graphics accelerator and 1GB random access memory. The capacity of the built-in memory is 8 GB, and in case of insufficient memory there is the possibility of expansion MicroSD cards up to 32 GB.

This mobile device supports all available network types up to 4G LTE, and from others wireless technologies available availability of Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.1 and GPS/A-GPS. The device has 2 slots for SIM cards with alternating operation in data transfer mode.
LG G4c runs on the Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system with a proprietary UX shell installed on top.
Conclusion
The smartphone is quite worthy of attention given its cost and good technical data, but it has quite a lot of competitors. Among the positive features we can highlight relatively good performance, high-quality display, the ability to work with 2 SIM cards, LTE support and an ergonomic body. Cons in this device are an undistinguished main camera and a small amount of flash memory by today's standards.
Perhaps the South Korean company needs no introduction. Many of its mobile solutions have already been in the laboratory, and all of them, at a minimum, deserve attention.
Following the release of the new flagship - LG G4 - it was traditionally followed by more available versions. And the smartphone that became the hero of the review, LG G4c, is one of them. We have previously reviewed the LG G4s (H736), a well-thought-out mid-range solution that left a good impression. What will the younger brother be like?
Here are the technical characteristics of the device.

**When purchasing the “gray” version in domestic retail.
“On paper” – nothing special, just another MediaTek device, and with only 1 GB of RAM. Not much, considering the price they ask for a smartphone. But what if he can surprise us? Let's get started with the review.
Packaging and equipment LG G4c
LG smartphone comes in white and red cardboard box, the dimensions of which correspond to the dimensions of the apparatus lying in it.
The model name is printed on the front side of the package, and a short list of device characteristics is printed on the back side.
In addition to the phone with battery, the package includes:
- Charger;
- Micro-USB cable;
- User manual and warranty card.
Quite standard equipment minimum required. But what, exactly, is the LG G4c itself?
Appearance and design of LG G4c
The hero of the review is made in a classic form factor - a candy bar with touch screen. As you would expect, externally the device looks almost an exact copy of the LG G4.
The weight of the smartphone is 136 g, dimensions are 139.7 x 69.8 x 10.2 mm.
The flagship's younger brother cannot be called miniature - the reason for this is the thick frames around the screen and the large thickness. For comparison, the LG G4c is thicker and almost the same in size as the LG G2, which is already two years old, despite the fact that the latter’s screen diagonal is 5.2" versus 5.0" for the newcomer.
Like the older LG G4 solution, the tested smartphone has a curved body, its radius of curvature is the same - 3,000 mm (3000R), that is, very insignificant. Yes, the phone fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, and this makes it easy to operate it with one hand, but this innovation does not bring anything revolutionary.
The back cover is made of glossy plastic; there are no versions of the covers with genuine leather upholstery, like the LG G4, which is a pity - a version with leather would look much better.
The smartphone came out very beautiful, still not as good as in leather, but the back cover looks quite attractive. These shimmers look unusual, and most importantly, they distinguish the smartphone from many competitors. It feels rustic to the touch and slips a little in the palm. The lid is removable, many people love it. The battery can also be removed independently. The smartphone is available in the following colors: gold, white and silver. The smartphone is good in size, fits comfortably in the hand, no complaints. The power and volume buttons are located on the back; please note, LG is the first company to move them there. They are convenient to use, feel them index finger is not difficult. The G4c is assembled perfectly, we have no complaints about the quality of materials and assembly.

Shell
The smartphone is new, so the OS version is the latest, fifth. Android of course. Let us note the function of customizing the control buttons, since they are software, LG has implemented the ability to change and add them. You can add up to 5 different buttons and use them. In addition, there is a lock and unlock function double click across the screen. The shell is nice and, honestly, I wouldn’t want to change it. It works quickly, there are no slowdowns, plus everything is very functional and understandable.
Specifications
CPU
MediaTek MT6752, 4 cores 1500 (MHz)
Video processor
It seems that the processor is not that powerful and the video chip is not the most powerful, but the performance of the smartphone is respectable. We will tell you later how this hardware behaved in our tests. Let’s say right away that this combination pleasantly surprised us, thanks to LG engineers.
Memory
This component hides the only disadvantage of this smartphone. Available memory only 3.1 GB. 8 GB is stated, so don’t be surprised when you find so little on a brand new smartphone free memory. We'll have to expand. Fortunately, there is such an opportunity; the G4c supports microSD up to 32 GB. And there is only 1 GB of RAM.
Connection
GPS works well, I saw 20 satellites, but only started working with five. LTE networks are not supported, but the rest of the set, standard for most gadgets, is present.

Smartphone LG G4c– a powerful and bright phone in an original, slightly curved body, which, according to the manufacturer, fits better in the hand and ensures comfortable use of the device. The device is positioned as a mid-price model, with some aspirations for the premium segment. However, up to the premium characteristics LG G4c falls short a little.
Main features and features
1. The already legendary arched design LG G4c. We are talking about that very slight curvature of the case: the display is slightly concave.
2. Five-inch IPS display manufactured by innovative technology LG In-Cell Touch. A new product from a Korean company, the essence of which is to reduce the distance between the touch screen surface and the display that displays colors. As a result, you get the feeling as if you are touching the images directly. A bright picture and a feeling of live touch create special magic. With a resolution of 1280x720, the display provides a density of 294 pixels per inch, which ensures that individual pixels on the screen are almost completely indistinguishable to the eye.
3. A powerful CPU with 4 cores and a frequency of 1.5 GHz will ensure smooth operation of the device even under heavy load.
4. Front-camera(or, as the manufacturer calls it, selfie camera) 5 MP with virtual flash thanks to the bright backlight of the screen, which provides clear selfies even in low light.
5. The Adreno 306 video processor will be an excellent assistant in 3D virtual worlds.
6. An important detail: the device is equipped with a slot for memory expansion, you can increase the volume up to 32 GB
7. 1W speakers provide deep bass. A unique phenomenon for phones: really high quality low frequencies no plastic sound.
Phone for long parties
One of the important advantages is a capacious 2540 mAh battery. This volume allows the phone to last quite a long time, and after activating the energy saving mode, you can last for several hours on the last percent of the charge. Therefore, even if the party lasts, you won’t have to put your phone in your purse or pocket like a lifeless brick.
