Announcing the new variant, Deepak Jasrotia, Business Head, LG Mobiles India, said, "We have always believed in offering only those products to our consumers that complement their style in making a statement. The G4's leather back was a step in that direction and we've taken it to the next step with this metallic variant of G4. The G4 is our most ambitious product of 2015 and we hope the consumers will continue to show their love for this smartphone, now in an all-new metallic avatar."
