It's weird how the same camera got bumped to 4K (UHD) and the megapixels and sensor size are the same. I have the LG G4 which does UHD video and it does take a bump in RAM (3GB) and CPU power but I can't see where the old model was limited to 1080p. Just weird. Must be software and time.

The newer model will also be more likely to get Nouget.
