The LG G4S is the long lost cousin of the LG G4 family which has been dominated by the LG G4 phone with its Snapdragon 808 and gorgeous 2560 x 1440, 538ppi display.

This new phone has a 5.2 inch screen with a full HD IPS LCD (1920 x 1080, 423ppi). It has an 8 GB eMMC ROM and 1.5GB RAM, a Snapdragon 615 processor and an 8 megapixel camera.  The camera has a laser autofocus, manual mode, colour spectrum sensor and a 5 megapixel front camera.

It ships with a 2300 mAh exchangeable battery with tons of capacity and many will be happy to hear the phone comes with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop out of the box. It measures 142.7 x 72.6 x 9.85 mm and weighs 139.4 g.

Powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 815, the phone comes with LTE 150 Mbits, HSPA+ 42,2 Mbps with 3G. This is a Cat 4 modem, if anyone asks. The LG G4S comes with 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, NFC and an A-GPS.

The LG G4S looks much like a flagship LG G4. It comes in metallic silver or a ceramic white but with a suggested retail price of €379.  It will be in the shops in August

It is not the cheapest phone, but the price will probably drop fast. The LG G4 has a suggested retail price of €649 and is selling for €500 to €550 depending on the colour.
