Hands on with the LG G4: Hot leather, sweet camera We’ve seen plenty of new Android phones since the start of the year, and now comes time for LG’s big move: the launch of its much-leaked new flagship, the LG G4 . Samsung grabbed big headlines when it released the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge — its best smartphones ever — so LG has its work cut out for it if the company wants to stand out. After a first look at the LG G4, though, the company's designers did a good job of finding ways to offer things you can’t get from other phones, Android or otherwise. The G4 is LG’s top of the line, and it shows. The G4 is LG’s top of the line, and it shows. Not only does it have killer specs, but LG has also gone out of is way to deliver a three-years-in-the-making feature: LG is decorating the back of the phone in leather. Real leather.

And unlike a lot of tech trade shows, most of the gadgets appearing here are ones that you'll actually be able to buy.   Mobile World Congress takes place at Barcelona's Fira Gran Via. (Credit: Sarah Tew/CNET)  "Congress" usually isn't a word that inspires excitement, but the Mobile World Congress is anything but usual. Held every February in Barcelona, Spain, it is the the premier global event for the wireless industry. Think of a smaller CES, but pack it with only smartphones, tablets, and everything mobile, and you'll get the idea.
