Just wondering if any other LG G2 users might try the LG G Flex? T-Mobile is releasing the LG G Flex Feb 5th and you might be able to get Netflix free for 6 months. I still like my G2 and development is good but I'm kind of wanting to try the Flex. I prefer the G2 size but did have a Note 2 for awhile.

I def like the form factor to it...Every one has an issue with the screen resolution but my view on that is that can you honestly tell the difference as in wow this screen is bad? Nope....
Im also eager to try a larger phone as well.As far as specs well, that dont really matter much in example the moto X which is a well put together phone as in hardware/software I would of chose if it was the same size as the lg g2

I heard about the bumps. I don't plan on flexing it and I'm very careful with my phones. I would think T-Mobile would make it right and swap it out if it continues to have them. Just not sure how it will fit in my pants pocket if at all. LoL

Nope. Im function over form. If it had the Snapdragon 805 I would think a little harder about it.

Is it that much difference? I probably wouldn't even notice. The 3500mAh Flex battery makes it function a little linger then the G2. He he

The GPU is suppose to be far superior in the 805.

There's isn't much difference besides screen size and design. There's not going to be much differences so I won't be getting it.

Keep in mind that the g flex snapdragon 800 is pushing far less pixels, so the performance might very well be better than the g2

Haha. I have read the 720p display of the flex is top notch dispite the number. I definitely am interested in the size. Would like to wait and see if the G Pro 2 comes to T-Mobile. I would jump that in a heartbeat. If not I''ll be all over the flex. Downside of the flex to me is the "Lower" camera MP.

Yea I was waiting for the G3 and S5 but keep thinking of trying the Flex. I just like switching it up every phone and doubt anyone I know will get the Flex.
I could burn my update but not sure if I should pull the trigger. Anyone get the ATT one yet? Thoughts?

I went from the G2 to the G flex. First of all, i love both of these phones. But i prefer the G flex honestly. Why? Well first because of the size. I always like big phones and the G flex has plenty of screen real estate.
Second, the curve. It is SO F***ING beautiful man, so stylish and it stands out. I cant tell ya'll how many time i left the phone alone on a table then came back and looked at the curve with a smile on my face. It really is stylish. When i left my phone at work i could see ppl whispering talking about the form factor of the phone, all dumbfounded hAHahH. This phone attracts a lot of people like " Is that curved???" " Can i see it??/" Seriously the curve is so sick, its not a gimmick. It makes the 6 inch display more manageable, its very comfortable to hold in hand and in phone calls and makes watching vids and playing games a bit more immersive.
3rdly, the battery life. Im talking about consistently 8 hours of on screen time with HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY usage. Dont believe me? Check my stats here
: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2553239&page=3
4th, the performance. The phone is simply zippy. Its super fast and fluid in everything.
But there are a couple of downsides in my opinion. First, the G flex that i had didnt support LTE so i was limited to 3g. Not that big of a deal since im most on the time on wifi but still, i want LTE. Second, the development is almost non existent and that KILLS me. I need Roms and kernels.
Neutral, the display. Yes it is only 720 p and it is definitely not as good as the G2 but it is more than enough and after a couple of days you get used to it and unless you put it side by side with a 1080 p phone youll be plenty satisfy. Its sharp enough, viewing angles are INCREDIBLE, colors are rich and vivid, blacks are blacks and whites are white......if you keep the brightness at 50% and up. Otherwise it becomes greyish but its not a big deal at all.
Im gonna pick up the G flex when it comes to AT&T later, it is such a great phone in my opinion. I loved having a device that no one had but i sold it for lack of LTE and development. The curve is totally worth it in my opinion, its something you can never get tired of. You will get so many praises.

The bumps go away after a day or 2 everytime you flex the phone. No big deal at all, thats just flex technology. Its definitely not a defect.

So I guess development picked up or you just like the Flex so much you don't care that much now? I'm a flash whore and development for the G2 801 picked up a lot lately. Are all the Flex variants the same? If so development should be ok with time right? Thanks for the reply. Out of thanks for now...

I sold the flex and ill pick up the AT&T version later next month. All variants are the same ( korean models) but i seems that the K version gets the most attention in terms of "development" ( it has one rom for it and CWM ). Anyways if you're in the US better wait for the AT&T, sprint or T-mobile versions. Im sure those will get some love from developers. But otherwise i love the phone, one of my favorite devices ever.
I'm sticking to my G2 and flashing a flex rom
I currently have the G4, but I really dislike the look/feel, the battery life, the UI, and the touchscreen issues. Anyone else switching from the G4 to the 6P? I already have mine pre-ordered.
I'm finally putting my G2 out to pasture...
I want to switch from the G4, mostly due to the touchscreen issues and partially to the UI, but the AMOLED screen is a major turn off. Both phones I've had with AMOLED suffered from burn in, the Nexus 6 a week into owning it.
Yes.

i am kinda ......... I went from a note 4 to a LGG4 and back to the note 4 ...... I still have my G4 but it collects dust mostly, I did flash a rom on it this past weekend. I just missed the 5.7 inch screen and the lack of dev was killing me.
I'm seriously considering it. Maybe I have a bad G4 but even after disabling the bloat, flashing a different rom, and trying other things, it still lags and my battery life definitely ain't the best if even close to that.
I work from 8-4, my phone will be at 100 when I get to work and almost totally drained by noon, and I don't do anything intensive.
To be completely honest. My wife's S6 feels a lot smoother especially when typing in SwiftKey.
Yes. Although I picked up a couple other phones before the 6p (note 5, moto x). I hated the g4. Still can't understand the circle jerk surrounding that device. So many issues

Yup same here. I even did a KDZ restore and did not root it, still seems to have poor battery life. The touchscreen issues are really aggravating too, with lots of keyboard misses. I have the Verizon G4 so no ROMs yet. I miss the dev support of the G2/G3, lots of mods and ROMs, but nothing for the Verizon G4 yet.
It will be nice to finally have stock Android and fast updates with lots of dev support.
Not a G4, but a G3.
I've got a G4 and I'm enjoying it, but I miss a fingerprint scanner (came from an Ascend Mate 7) and vanilla Android. The only thing I'm giving up with the 6P is expandable storage (since I don't really carry an extra battery around anywhere to make use of removable battery), but that's rectified by the 128GB model of the 6P, which is what I ordered. USB OTG also means storing ROM's will be easy, and an SD card isn't needed.
The G4 is an amazing device, especially when you consider the fact you can grab one at a steep discount these days. But I'm a fan of a clean UI and larger phones, so I gave in and bought the 6P.

No way. G4 is the best device I have ever had!
G4 is the most balanced phone in 2015 , camera is amazing. Lacks of development is my turnoff but i will wait N6P drop price and i want to see real camera sample before dumping my G4 , im pretty happy with it!
coming from iPhone 5, I'm actually deciding between Lg G4 and Nexus 6P to be my first android device... so it's quite obvious that I have no clue about "Root" or "Custom Rom".
the decision is already tough guyz on top of that LG released LG V10, which confuse me even more

I'd go with the V10 over the G4 IMO, unless it's a lot more expensive.
I have the verizon g4 since inception and a week ago after having some major issues beyond the typical, I convinced them to send me a new one. I must say that quality control must really suck because the new one is definitely running better than my old one which was rooted, debloated, and running some xposed modules. I haven't rooted the new one and it seems snappier and the battery seems the same which is fine as I haven't had much to complain about with the battery.
With that being said, I'll probably be ordering the 6P in a month or so. It sounds like it has everything I want, including a premium feel. I don't have that with the g4, even though I have leather backs.
Just going to wait for some more reviews to make sure it's as good as it sounds.
The g4 is a very good phone and will serve as an excellent backup.
I'll have a problemless g4 and a 6p.
I used the G4 while I was on a trip, loved the camera. I liked the customizations LG's skin offered however I couldn't stand the UI and the LG, the touch sucked.
I really liked the size and feel in hand with the brown leather back.
The battery wasn't great either so I'm hoping the 6P has a better camera and battery.

the more I think about V10 less attractive it gets to be honest.... i keep my phone for at least 2 years before replacing it so having a 5.9 inch phone with gimmicky secondary screen doesn't seem practical... recently i also started looking into Sony Z5, waiting for reviews now
@scott4u Get the nexus 6p. Ive had lots of devices. Nexus i hold dear to my heart they are fast and the development is endless. I had touch to wake 3 years ago on my nexus 4. And I'm typing this on a g4. You should make your first time special.

well Nexus 6P is definitely in my radar but at same time Sony Z5 also look cool... specially coz i read that sony added a extra heat distribution pipe to control heat issue of 810 chip without under-clocking it.
so lets wait for reviews beside New Zealand (that's where I'm) always get devices late
With all those new phone's came out lately.
I'm confused, S7 looks like a beast, and he is far more beautiful than the 6P.
Although he is also much more expensive and not to mention the crappy touchwiz.
Same thing with Note 5.
The one that caught me is the HTC 10.
But also much more expensive.
Anoter area that I'm curious about is the brightness level, how's the 6P handle?
Thanks!

Really bad battery life? My G4 SOT is around 2-2.5h depends on usage (gaming or not)
But this isn't bothering me because i have another battery with me.
But this isn't the case with the 6P that's why it's important for me.
Ya i thought the brightness isn't special from all what i heard, but i guess it is better that the G4, right?

I don't use the g4 but from what I hear about it the camera is the one thing good in it.

If you're not concerned of losing the stock android interface and monthly updates, go for either of them. Just be careful, apparently the maximum brightness on the HTC is low too.
Nexus 6P is a good device but brightness is quite subpar* ; same goes with battery life, considering the beefy battery it has got!
* all stock

I'm not sure why anyone is complaining about battery life on this device, it performs really well for me. It mostly comes down to individual setup anyway, it's like installing a turbo on your car and then complaining that the car has terrible fuel efficiency.
As for whether it's still worth it, probably not. I certainly wouldn't be opting for Samsung though, and the HTC is nice but you'll be waiting several months for any updates. The next Nexus is only a few months away probably, I'd be waiting for that.
no, definitely go with the HTC 10. I got my 6p and damn the mic, speaks, and call quality is terrible !!!

The only device i would give up pure android for is HTC. Sense is my second favorite if not par with stock android.
After been with HTC One M8 for a year and a half, than switching for LG G4.
I know how good HTC devices is, only problem is that here in ny country HTC ain't popular, most people's buy iPhone or Samsung and lately LG. Which cost me when i sold my M8, after bought it for 700$ and sold for only 250$ in new condition.
I guess the brightness on the Nexus 6P is higher than HTC 10 and my LG G4.

What i like about Samsung devices
(S7 edge and note 5)
Is the amazing display and brightness.
All other thing's including software is awful, at least for me.
S7 edge is a really beauty device, but way too expensive.
If I'll buy the HTC 10 i could live with the several month's update because it has sense which is the closets one to pure android. But also there, too expensive..
What do you mean by few month's away?
I guess also when it'll come out it'll be expensive, and till than my G4 will loss another 200$.
I'll wait for more answers, What bothering me mostly on the Nexus 6P is SD810, as G4 has SD808 which is not that different..

As far as skins go, Sense is ok. I'm I'll never use a Touchwiz device though, that's awful.
There are rumours that the new Nexus lineup will be released in American summer, but probably in October/November like usual.

You won't be waiting "several months" for any updates. The software on the 10 is similar to the A9 and is actually closer to stock than the A9 which got updates roughly 15 days after Nexus devices. Definitely not several months.

I am coming from the M9. The 6P blows it away in every category you mentioned. I can't even get cell reception in my basement on the M9 and the 6P has 2-3 bars. Since nobody really has the 10 other than reviewers you can't really definitely make that statement.
I will say I already miss Sense somewhat. I like having screenshot in the drop down quick settings. Where is the battery percentage? I have the system tuner version but it is useless once you get into the 50-60's percentage. Why no option to restart instead of just turning off? Gmail is terrible for exchange. I tried it again in hopes that the update this week would address some problems but it sucks. The camera app on the 10 will be much better than the 6P. HTC Mail is way better and I can't get hacked versions of HTC apps to work that is on XDA. HTC does some really good things to compliment Android without being overbearing like Touchwiz which keeps it running smooth years later, unlike Samsung. They are subtle but when you don't have them you start to notice.
That said, I was not about to pay $300 more for the 10. If it was the same price. I would have bought it. No phone is worth $1,000.

You are right, i won't buy a phone that cost more than 700$.
My HTC One M8 cost me 700$ and i enjoyed him the whole time i had him
(a year and a half).
When i moved to G4 i missed the sense as well.
But over time you get used to what ever phone you have, unless you have Samsung??
Also i wanted to ask you, as i still wait for more answers, don't wanna rely on one person.
What do you say about the brightness on the 6P? how's it's handle direct sun and outdoors visibility? And how's the camera?

Coming from the M9 it is way better. I guess it all depends on your frame of reference and if you had a S6 S7 Samsung screen before. I can also see what people talk about with this display vs a LCD one on HTC. The images just are more vivid and punchy. If you like the flat look you can change that on the 6P as well. I like the saturation though for a change. The 10's screen is better than the M8 and M9 but not as good as the 6P. At least not $300 better. That's for sure.

The display used in nexus 6p is made by Samsung... I don't think brightness should be an issue... Also you could use ultra brightness mode in elementalx kernel... Regarding camera it's good.... Haven't used g4 so can't exactly compare them... Pm me your email. I will send you photos captured by 6p..
Note: sd810 doesn't support 10bit hevc hardware decoding whereas s7 exynos supports it... So sd820 may support it too... Shouldn't bother you if you don't watch 10bit videos on phone.
Samsung = Knox.
If you want to tether on an UDP (Verizon) you must have root for WiFi tether.
So if I were to buy a phone today, unless I could unlock the bootloader, the device is not on my shopping list.
So for me on Verizon, Nexus or HTC. With HTC you can at least usually pay someone for S-Off.
I have an M9 from day one last year. Really liked it but got the 6P last November because of the improved camera. Also because the monthly updates it receives.

Also who needs removable battery now that there are recharge packs.

Really on the fence atm as well.. The 32gb is about $650 CAD and the 64gb is about $700 CAD on Newegg.. Ive been running through reviews and comparison videos all week and I am so close to purchasing it, but the price still kind of hurts. It has everything I need, but battery life seems to vary among everyone. The camera also seems to have some issues and lag time between users. The most recent update was suppose to fix it, but some users are still experiencing slow-downs. The phone is almost 7 months old, but since its by Google, updates will always be rolling out.
Love stock android as I had the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 5, but moved away to the Asus Zenfone 2, which is already experiencing slow downs and my camera is all wonky. I would never purchase a phone over $600, but the Nexus 6P is looking amazing. Right now, I am just looking for a way to justify buying it
With the release of the LG V20 just around the corner and it's showing earlier this week, is anyone jumping from the G5 to the V20? I really like the new design and having Android Nougat out of the box. Looks like I'm definitely switching once it releases. What are your thoughts?
I don't really feel the need to. Using android devices since eclair - and the G5 really hits the "sweet spot" as far as hardware/performance is concerned. I don't even mind that root hasn't been achieved for the variant I own. There really isn't anything with v20 that to me, warrants upgrading to it. And we will be getting nougat/7 soon enough. I'll probably be perfectly happy riding out the next two years with the G5.

For the rich guys, they'll probably do. I'm just a college student and got rewarded with this phone because of the honors I got. I'm very happy and satisfied with my G5 and will probably use it for the next 1 1/2 years. The V20 is indeed great, the design is a whole lot better but it doesn't make me regret my G5. The G5 is very good, but LG failed to make more modules. Apart from that, the phone without any modules already works great. I just hope LG will bring Nougat fast.
I don't even find reason to update to v20, G5 is fast smooth with great camera, removable battery, micro SD and will get nougat faster than any other oem.
Tell you the truth I don't find any reason to update to any phone.
I don't really see a reason to upgrade unless it's a bigger screen you want. That alone doesn't really warrant an upgrade (for me anyways). the guy above me said what I have as well, the G5 has hit a sweet spot for me. Although root hasn't been achieved yet for my variant, I still am in love with this phone.
V20 is a G5 with 5,7" and a better audio chip.
Just if you need/want big screen. Otherwise they're pretty much the same phone.
V20 is too wide for me to use single handed and disappointed the battery isnt going to be 4000ma
After having lg g3, g2, and nexus5, I truly miss having root....
I think I will be moving on to one of those refurbished note 7s or just take a oneplus 3 since they both have root and great dev community.
Op3 camera is slightly worse and not sdcard but daytime pix and very close to g5 and with 64gb built in that should be ample to all my needs.
Already posted my g5 on CL.
Very good phone but doesn't fit my needs.
I might, have to see some reviews first and actually hold one. I am with T-Mobile, my phone was a note 5 that had some charging issues. I called to exchange for another and the rep suggested using my score upgrade, getting the g5 and keeping my note, which I did but even with its limited charging ability(only charges wirelessly) I still find myself using the note every couple days. The g5 is just a tad too small for my liking. I think I'll go Nexus or v20, depending on real world impressions. The g5 is nice, nice enough that it will make a great upgrade for my wife coming from the g3.
What is everyone's views about the secondary screen, audio recording enhancements, and the camera/video? Just a gimmick or worth it?

I have, I'm just asking if that would be a factor in people deciding to switch or not.. This is just a open end discussion. I'm currently using the G5 and of course one size doesn't fit all but it's just to share people's opinions so other can make a decision to switch if they feel like they want to upgrade or not
The V20 is basically an oversized G5 with better audio quality.
Same performance,display,camera.....
I haven't really looked into the v20 tbh. I [email protected] g5 The two lg phones I've had were great, and I love them. (G3, G5) Both of mine ran/run hot though. Either I have really bad luck or lg needs to look at their thermal controls. I might move to another device after I pay off my g5, but I'll always hang onto it.

Exactly... and is the Audio quailty worth another £500 on top of what your paying for your G5.... I think not.... However, Im in the UK, so we wont even get to see it.. Unless its imported, but will it support the UKs GSM and UTMS bands
I don't. It's too big for me. And for the music I use iBasso DX80.
The reason of why I chose the G5 over all the available smartphones is because of it's "little" 5.3" screen (+hardware + removable battery + IR Blaster + Dual camera). No thank you I'm not interested in a big 5.9" screen .
External speaker,what about it??

Anyone know how this is gonna sound/compare to the LG G5 with DAC module ?
LG G5 is a hot smartphone. its a modern marvel
lg g5 is packed with latest hardware and features. One does not need to move on to upcoming ones without need. see our review on g5. Mathew, choozurmobiledotcom
Like the title says am I crazy? I've owned just about every flagship you can think about in the United States save for the G6 and S8 and just want something different. My Moto x 2013 was one of my favorite devices because of the size, fluidity of UI, twist to open camera, great battery life, near stock Android. What do you guys think will I regret switching to G5 Plus 4gb?

Hope you should be fine with slow or no updates. Samsung pushes security updates frequently, while Moto comes last after the Lenovo take over. If you are fine with this limitation, then you are good to buy Moto G5 Pls.

You have something wrong with your G5+ if your S7e is faster... As far as keyboard I use Gboard for all devices but thats a personal preference

How can you compare stock Android to Samsungs bloat? iPhones with lower specs are faster then Android phones with higher specs because of sofrware optimization. A phone with stock Android will always be faster then a skinned one. Also the 625 is quite the performer.

Yes I have the S7 edge. And I have owned almost every flagship service since the Samsung Instinct. Yes the screen is much nicer on the S7 that's a given

Unless you are a heavy phone gamer, or you require your phone to have samsung pay/android pay for mobile payments(In the US as the G5 PLUS US version does not have NFC) then I see no reason why you will regret the decision to go to a G5 Plus. It is a solid phone, and decent specs.
Points though you will notice that the screen on the Moto G5 Plus is not as vibrant as the S7 Edge. No NFC in the US version of the phone as stated before, but if you can live with those 2 issues and the fact motorola still needs better camera software (but there are other apps that do a better job on the play store if you take a lot of pictures) the G5 Plus is a solid phone. I have an S7 Edge myself just got it 2 weeks ago switching to T-Mobile. but I just purchased a G5 Plus 4GB ram/64 GB storage amazon variant for my mother in law and have been playing with it the last day setting it up for her. I like the G5 Plus...it reminds me alot of what the Moto X 2013 phone was and it feels good in the hands even with a tpu case on it(diztronic) I think it will be a great phone for Motorola if they will support the software on it for more than 7.1 update.
I just got mine up and running. Came over from an S6. Very happy so far. Tomorrow starts the battery life tests.
The speed of the animation can be adjusted in the developer settings. You should change this to 0.5x for the 3 parts, reboot. Then your phone should be feeling fast
