Video: LG teases software features coming to the G4
August 24, 2025
Following the announcement of thedisplay panelthat will equip theG4,LGis now revealing another crucial part of the G4 experience: the software.
In a Korean language video, LG is teasing the new UX4, which resembles the previous iteration of LG’s Android skin, but adds a couple of new features.
Aesthetically, LG UX 4.0 seems to be flatter, more simple, and more abstract than UX 3.0 (running onG3,G Flex 2, and others), with the bright color scheme borrowing from Google’s Material design guidelines.
Smart Bulletin, launched on the G3, is making a return, consolidating LG’s various proprietary features, like Smart Settings, LG Health, a Calendar app, Smart Tips and more. Like before, Smart Bulletin will be available with a swipe from the homescreen, similar to Google Now on the default Google launcher.
Instead of having to long-press the volume down button on the back to launch the camera, you will be able to double tap it. That’s a similar to the way the camera can be launched on theGalaxy S6, but it remains to be seen whether LG has been able to reduce the time needed to launch the camera, as the long-press feature was quite slow on the G3.
