    Compared to the G3?

    If the LG G4 is the same size as the LG G3, then it's a clear upgrade.

      Dude I'm telling you that you're jive, but the bring back of the leather case in such a representative jam, well... I dig it!

      At least the advertisement is an upgrade!

      If it runs Windows Phone 10 then it's another clear upgrade.

    How come the headline joke was on a 1960s Velvet Underground song when the article was about something called an 808? 1980s Roland synth-pop fans demand to be told etc

      Apparently they are making the 808 again. Or at least I saw a "new" one at a shop a year ago, not sure about the build quality though. I moved over to a plug-in, however you really, really, rrrrreally can't operate a 808 plug-in like the real thing when you're drunk (In it's end, those were the only times I pulled mine out).

    I'm not sure this is worth an upgrade!

    About the only thing which stands out on the list is the camera - though it'll be interesting to see how well this performs, given that image/video processing is one of the few things out there which can greatly benefit from speedy multi-core CPUs...
