The thin bezels take away any concerns about an imposing 5.5-inch frame and the slight curve (borrowed from the G Flex series) makes perfect sense. MORE: 5 Reasons To Buy The LG G4 Over The Samsung Galaxy S6 The metal-like rear panel suffices and the leather options are luxurious, although I question the durability of leather, which can look tired very quickly. The G4 hasn’t suffered by not being completely metal or glass. In my honest opinion, the G4 is a better looking smartphone than the S6. The overall design itself is really nice. But when I need to take a screenshot (often), or anything that requires pressing more than one button at once, it becomes an irritant. I can navigate adjusting the volume and switching the device on OK. I didn’t get used to it with the G3 and I’m still stifled by it on the G4. I know some favour putting the power and volume buttons on the rear, but I’ve fond it really awkward. The dated speaker placement is a minor issue in comparison to the baffling button placement, though. Remember cupping your hands to boost volume circa 2011? Yeah, that shouldn't be necessary any more, but it still is in the G4. LG also lost decided to place its speakers in a strange place on the G4: on the back. Unfortunately it also means covering the speakers and muffling the sound, which happens every time. When I tilt the phone into landscape to watch something, I hold it like a console controller, carefully trying not to touch soft buttons of the screen. This is one of my biggest gripes with the S6’s design, not that it looks so similar to the iPhone from the bottom, but that the external speakers are in an awkward place. On the bottom of the handset the headphone jack and external speakers are located. The volume and power buttons are similarly rugged. The touch-based fingerprint scanner (which is infinitely better than the swipe-based scanner on the S5) is tightly packed in and isn’t a loose wobbly mess like others. Overall it’s a neatly designed and solid smartphone. We all know how that ‘50% stronger metal’ panned out…. Samsung has also reinforced the device with a 50% stronger metal compound that runs around the outside of the phone, with sturdy Gorilla Glass 4 glass panels on the front and back.

I didn't mind the S5’s plastic rear panel, but the upgrade to something a bit more premium makes it feel less like I’m holding something made by an eccentric toy craftsmen. The glass panels on the front and rear mimic Sony’s Xperia range, but the S6 doesn’t have the weight of the Z3 - in fact the S6 really is impressively light given how much is packed inside the handset. It’s slimmer, lighter and is built with a lot less plastic. By dramatically I mean ever-so-slightly - because, you know, it’s a smartphone. This is a dramatically different looking smartphone to its predecessor. Samsung’s insistence that it reinvent its main smartphone line after the Galaxy S5 publicly belly-flopped, lead to the iPhone-esque Galaxy S6 that landed on our shores two months ago.
