LG G4 vs Samsung Galaxy S6 price and features

El LG G4 has gained prominence lately. It will become the great rival of Samsung Galaxy S6, and it will be so thanks to the striking features it has, such as its leather shell. It was said that its price will be remarkably high. However, it seems that this will not be entirely the case. It has recently appeared with a price that would be lower to the Samsung Galaxy S6.

Basic version

The price we're currently using has appeared on a German website, so it's in euros. This means we won't have to worry about converting the dollar amount to euros or anything like that. Furthermore, due to the fall of the euro, knowing the price when converting it is really difficult. Specifically, LG G4 would cost around 680 euros approximately according to information coming from Germany, a price that is even lower than the Samsung Galaxy S6, and which is far from the price that was published, which was closer to the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. However, this price corresponds to the most basic version of the LG G4, with 32GB memory, and without leather casing.

Possible colors of the LG G4

The leather version will be more expensive

Obviously, we'll have to pay more money if we want to get the leather-cased version. This last version is the most striking, and the only one that seems truly capable of competing with the aluminum and glass of the Samsung Galaxy S6. To be able to buy the LG G4 with a leather case, we will have to pay 730 Euros. It must be said that the difference of 50 euros does not seem particularly significant either, considering what change the look from one case to another. From what has been published, we can already confirm three colors for the leather case: brown, the black and the Red, although in other photographs and publications we have seen that there were others, so it may be that tomorrow the launch and arrival of these different versions will be confirmed. At the same time, we hope to be able to confirm the LG G4 price in Europe for the different versions.
