We got all the way to the midframe before needing to so much as open our tool bag. First out of the bag is our Pro Tech Screwdriver Set with the handy, standard Phillips #0.

Next, we grab an opening pick and tease up the midframe, revealing the heart of the G4.

We take a quick note of the G4's model number—LG-H811— before rending it asunder moving forward.

The ease of opening and simplicity of components remind us of the good old days of easily repaired Android phones. The G4 seems to be a great showcase for slim luxury and repair friendliness.
