i really dont think its worth it unless you want bigger phone....
i think the maximus size i can handle is 5.5 beside that..
here are my thoughts on it:
Pros:
1.Wider angle and perhaps better selfie camera(+1)
2.1GB more ( which i dont belive is really needed because the g4 is already working smooth)(+0.5)
3.finger print sensor(it might have more use on Android 6 but i dont use a password or pattern or anything on my phone so i dont really need it...)(+0.5)
Cons:
1.Same battery size + bigger screen + same resolution + secondry 2 inch display + same chipset = lower battery life (-1)
2. i am finding it really hard to handle with a screen of ~ 5.9 its just too big to be compared with the G4 (-1)
3.this phone is heavy! (192g) ( not going to score it, might not bother other people)
so in the end we got 1+0.5+0.5-1-1 = 0 which means that i am not going to upgrade
there is the material but i will put a case on the phone anyway so... i dont care about it.
and the gorilla glass 3 vs gorilla glass 4 and here again i put a good screen protector so ....
if you are going to use the phone naked than v10 is the winner if not the g4 is because ( you and i already got it)

I do agree with a lot of what you said. I don't care for a finger print scanner, which I'm actually against. I do like the video recording features the 64gb of storage and the materials. I do like that it has better manual noise cancellation with the three mics. The second screen is okay we'll see if it's actually useful or a gimmick. I do like the slightly bigger display, and the weight I kind of like because it gives me a better firm grip in my opinion. My hands are a little strong for the G4. I'll have to go to Tmo and play with it and see when its available in the US.
It sure looks nice, but since it's basically just a "more premium"-version of the same phone/hardware - and the stuff that makes it "more premium" are things i dont care about at all. ie. selfie stuff, fingerprint...
G4 is my first android phone and my first LG, V10 isn't going to change that. LG G5 or G6 perhaps =)
Biggest plus still - G4 is sooo much cheaper. Getting a real flagship for much much less money than any of the competitors, that's what i call 'premium'!

I can hardly recommend this phone to anyone who already has the G4... It' a minor upgrade in some areas
and even a downgrade in others IMO. I guess that's a matter of opinion... The only two things i am hyped about
are manual video controls and sound control (nevermind the 3 mics on V10, 2 mics can get the job done).
I believe that the G4 will get these features in near future (probbably with android MM which is set to
arrive early next year) because V10 uses the same camera sensor as G4.

By the time the G4 gets M the 5 will be coming out. I've been reading about it all morninmg and I think I like it. It's definitely sexy AF from appearance. I am seeing some of the flaws it has like with the second screen. Idk I had the G2, G3, and now the 4. I never got bored with the G2 and 3, but am already losing my appeal with the G4. Don't get me wrong it's better than anything else imo right now, but I am starting to want something different than what everyone else has.

Just what I thought too!
The LG V10 looks like an awesome phone but I'll stick with my awesome G4 for a while though.
Lol. I was thinking about this newer phone. It looks really nice! But there really isn't any "improvement" over the G4 except for the memory. Otherwise, it's the same screen resolution, technology, camera, UI. I mean, I love my G4! It's probably one of the best phones I've owned! But for me to sell this one, and buy the V10, I would need at LEAST a better camera, or ... HUGE battery... Or... I don't know. A stylus? I want the larger screen. But selling this one, losing some money, and dishing out a premium price for the SAME device except a tiny bit larger is out of the question for me. If they had only put in 4,000 mah I would have found it enough to get! haha.
Edit: Oh I know there are LOTS of improvements like the fingerprint scanner, and secondary screen and 2 selfie cameras.... But these for me a little things that don't make ANY difference to me. Camera, battery, screen size, these are huge deals for me. That's why I say that there wasn't really any REAL improvements FOR ME. But it is a great phone with a lot of good specs and cool ideas! But just not enough for me to sell my G4 and buy the V10. Especially without knowing the European price tag yet! haha.
i want the V10 camera app just for the sake of that video features but i guess we will see a version for the g4 as soon as the v10 is available and someone from xda gets it
I hope manual video ported for G4
I hope we can deactivate the OIS, we can do with ProShot app. But the OIS of the V10 looks way better !
There is an LG V10 forum now if you wish to continue this discussion there
At the very least we have an idea what the G5 coming out next year will look like. It will be more premium looking and feature a replaceable battery. Weight wise, proper case + g4 is 185-190gms anyway.
So they can make premium looking and replaceable battery after all. Who knew

Do not forget that G2 mini is expected to be launched @ MWC next month. It will have 4,7" screen. And I think probably in august on IFA 2014 there will be launched G3 mini, 5" or 5,2", maybe it'll be G2 clone with G3 iron in it (like 16Mpix camera, 64Gb or 128Gb flash etc)
Will you ditch G2 if G3 Mini will got 128Gb flash storage? THAT is the question

I have my doubts about how much of an upgrade the G3 will be.
My thoughts on the following:
QHD - I seriously think this is more of a gimmick than anything useful in real life. Prior to owning a G2, I had an iPhone 4. As you know, the iPhone 4 has a ppi of 326 and this G2 has a ppi of 424. Difference? I can't see it. Both screens are awesome. I wouldn't be able to live with something that didn't have a retina resolution at normal viewing range.
Processor: LG's own ODIN processor sounds great, but if the launch really is this near, I think they will put a Snapdragon 805 into the phone rather than their own. Snapdragon 805 is sick and improved in comparison with the 800, but most changes are made towards the GPU and RAM read speeds. I like playing on my phone but as long as the processor still is based on a 28 nm architecture, expect faster battery drains and more frequent thermal throttling, assuming this isn't fixed either with hardware (such as passive cooling) or software (less aggressive thermal throttling).
Size: It was mentioned here, 5.2 is stretching it a bit, and 5.5 is probably too much.
Build quality: Here is where the G3 can excel. If they make it a premium smartphone with regards to the build quality, then it's a major update. Don't bother with glossy plastic - EVER - again. I assume they learnt that since they now are selling the G2 LE. If the build quality is premium, expect a premium price.
Meh, maybe I'm just jealous.
Ahh...figured this would happen soon. I'm starting to get tired of the over saturation of Android devices...but I guess that's how they stay in the mobile business. Not every company can afford to be like Apple and release a New phone once a year. In the end, its the existing customers that gets screwed. (More focus and support for newer devices and less for existing).

I'm not sure I really understand why people are so apprehensive about LG putting out a new model. They're already working on an official Kit Kat update for the G2 and we got a good group of devs here who can work out any kinks if need be so....what's the worry here?

I doubt LG will build their phone from metal. It will be plastic, or ceramic in plastic. Sometime they'll even make plastic armed with ceramic, probably. LG own their LG Chem so they won't tickle with metal. Their plastic is durable, sturdy, firm, and nice in feel. Also when it's -25°C the metal cools fast but plastic stays warm to one's hands. We live all over the world you know
If back is too glossy one can even wrap it in carbon or silicon coating with different funny prints

This update is fine 100%, but what happens with the next one? Longer and longer waiting times for updates, and then eventually no official images released...
Especially as phone contracts are getting longer, tying you to the phone for 2 years!! (at least this is the case in the UK!)

5.5" is a great size for me. It shouldn't be a mainstream size though and I still consider it phablet size, but if it becomes mainstream that means there are more choices and better/newer hardware for people like me who want bigger screens, to the detriment of those who want smaller ones of course.
They need to remove the back buttons and go back to normal ones. Even after seasoned use, I still find it difficult to press and it takes extra time and prone to error. A button on the side is so much easier and no nonsense. You can feel it easily, don't risk dropping the phone like I always do trying to find the back button, and can be easily pressed by either hand with different fingers. The knock knock feature is poorly implemented and doesn't work half the time.
Like others have mentioned, the build quality needs to be drastically improved. It's still a cheap plastic device, and very slippery and hard to hold, moreso than the Galaxy S4 and many other phones. I had to put a case on mine since it had very little surface area to hold and was very slippery even when fully degreased. Why make it thin if you have to put a case on it anyway? The hyperglaze coating on the Samsungs is much grippier.
Anyway, everyone is starting from scratch in 2014 for phone designs and premium materials so LG G2 needs to do the same. iPhone 6 will have totally new design since its about time and Tim Cook needs to prove himself. Galaxy S5 will have guaranteed new design as the Samsung execs have said, because the S4 underperformed because it looked the same as the S3. Moto X is very premium plastic unibody. HTC of course going back to the metal of the One. And a whole slew of Chinese manufacturers with steel frames or metal covers that put the bland LG G2 plastic design and materials to shame. I can't tell which side is up and which side is down most of the time when using my phone at a glance, since it all looks the same to me, unless I look specifically for the LG logo. Then I have to momentarily remember if its suppose to be on top or on bottom. I can orient the phone instantly in my pocket when I feel the power button on the side, which is another reason why LG needs to go back to regular buttons.
And yes, either put a better OIS on your next camera, or stop using it so aggressively, as I may be going back to Samsung if they have the better camera, and the camera is the main deciding factor for me. I am counting on LG to give Samsung some competition, as honestly even though there are a lot of Android phones, there are very few large name brands in the high end area. I can count them on one hand. Samsung, LG, HTC...and that's it. Motorola is clearly in midrange right now. Sony barely shows up in the US. Ditto to all the other companies and Chinese ones, which don't have the track record LG has and has lower standards for phone quality, even if the phones may look nice from the outside.
Already?
Wow... I'm really shocked they're releasing the g3 already... A little early perhaps? Either way, I think I'll be more than happy with my G2 for quite some time.

depends on what you consider "a lot better". The 805 would be a nice bump in battery life and would make things snappier with a QHD screen. Would also see improvement in gaming. Im sure if the G3 came with the 805 people would be complaining less about the battery life. Also it really depends on how the software is utilized with the 805 to see real differences. Considering how bloated touchwiz is i doubt itd feel like a huge difference in performance.

I completely agree. I almost passed on the G3 to wait for the Note 4, but I'm glad I didn't. If I had, I'd be going to get the G3 today.
The Note Edge looks like it will be a complete nightmare for case makers or anyone that is prone to dropping their phone.

That too. In a world full of useless gimmicks, I think Samsung just took the cake with this one...
I quite like the note 4. Just wish they changed the design a bit more, flush back camera and got rid of the physical home button.
I too had a lot of thoughts if I chose poorly by buying the G3 instead of waiting for the note 4 (speaking as a previous note 2 owner)
But c'mon there is nothing special about the note 4...legendary battery life on the note serious?
The note 4 had a 3200mAh battery(Same as the note3) and it will sip the juice more than ever thanks to the 2k screen..so no longer "legendary" battery life...it left with the note 2
Camera? Though I rarely use my phone for photos ( Prefer my much more loved Nikon D7000 )..but the G3 does it all and well.. i do occasionally take some photos in case I don't have my photography gear with me
And the results are pretty good for a phone...
Software?please keep me away from TW
S Pen? I rarely used it with my note 2
CPU / GPU bump? I don't use phone for intense gaming or so...and I believe the 801 SoC is more than enough
I though miss the AMOLED display :\
In a nutshell..I'm perfectly happy with the G3..Although I wish for AOSP Rom for the G3

Yeah ill get an edge
Well.. I keep wondering what exactly more people want from a smartphone.
How different can it be? If Samsung increases the size, it looses it's pocket-ability and market share. If they use even more premium materials, it becomes fragile (glass) and weight increases. These would be downgrades.
Design: It's basically a block with a huge screen. There's not many ways you can re-design that. Samsung did add metal to the edges to give a premium feel without weight increases and I think they have done a decent job at that. Remove the front buttons? Sure.. I'm sure many support the idea. But don't forget.. it's Samsung's signature design to have a centre physical button and many people buy Samsung because of that. Just like how Apple has their round button. The advantage is that you get more screen space too.
The dimpled back of the S5 received more negativity and they decided to keep the faux leather texture from N3. Nothing wrong about it. Miles better than glossy materials imho.
Internals: The CPU bump from 800 2.3Ghz to 805 2.7GHhz is very decent. You can't find anything better out there now (maybe except the NV's K1). A 64bit CPU won't do the end-user any good at this point. The screen bump from FHD to QHD is also expected and goes very nicely with the big screen. However, I have to admit that the curved screen edges are kinda sucky, esp if you're gonna apply an SP.
Software: Seriously.. I think the new screen grab function is very neat. No need saving individual pics or text before sharing. The photo taking from notes and handwriting detection is pretty nifty.. not to mention it does keystone correction! Also, a screen grab of a bunch of text will end up as ASCII when you paste it. It does OCR on the fly. Multi tasking is a step closer to windows-like. These are real new features.. not gimmicks unlike the smart-stay, smart-wave, smart hover or whatever.
In summary, I am pretty pleased with the Note4's offering. Beware, I am not a Samsung fanboy. The S5 was a crappy upgrade from the S4, being bigger, uglier and all.. but I would say the Note4 is a decent upgrade from Note3. :good:
Will I be switching to N4? No. I don't need the stylus nor the bigger screen size. Not needing such a device doesn't mean it's bad :silly:
Cheers!
After having a G2 and Flex which I liked both phones a lot I was going to wait for the Note 4. I just wanted something different. I played with a G3 and had to get it. So I'm glad I didn't wait for Note 4. Have a Jump to use and might try iPhone 6 though. Lol
Maybe if Samsung stopped downgrading devices at the same time.
The Note 4 is slightly taller and heavier than the Note 3
They removed USB 3.0 and went back with USB 2.0
The speaker is now on the back instead of the bottom
I agree that there is only so much that can be done, but look at the G3 for instance. They made the bezels as thin as possible compared to other phones, since it's not water resistant like the S5 I don't know what their excuse is for not making the bezels smaller. The battery is basically the same size, every other Note model has had a significant improvement in battery capacity, plus with QHD it's going to be worse just like the G3 is to the G2.
Overall Samsung makes a device that has good specs, but in a shell that is not pleasing to look at and easy to forget, with an OS that is full of so many half-baked features that since they don't work consistently, no one ever uses them. They need to get some new design engineers and take a page out of Apple's attention to every little detail, and either fix or remove most of their features so they actually work.
so.
Now that you have seen the LG G4 and the specs...
Are you getting it?
Whats your next upgrade?

It seems that many of us G3 users are not impressed by the Specs on the G4 and might hold off on purchasing or upgrading until the G5 release.

I want the Black or Brown leather. In my opinion looks more premium than glass.
Except for the leather back: where is the great improvement, to move from the g3 to g4??
I haven't seen it/found it yet..
If you feel the xtra millisecond difference is worth spending £££€€€$$$ on by all means. I however, am happy with the G3 if it was a major leap between the G3/G4 then maybe but based on the cost/upgrade theres no point imho. Will wait for the G5. Am sure the leather back will make its way to the G3 at some stage either via 3rd party or LG themselves.

If you feel the xtra millisecond difference is worth spending £££€€€$$$ on by all means. I however, am happy with the G3 if it was a major leap between the G3/G4 then maybe but based on the cost/upgrade theres no point imho. Will wait for the G5.

It seems there are not too much improvements from G3 to G4, just the camera, yeah the screen is better but I feel fine with the current one, I even would prefer 1080p, I can't see difference between QHD and FHD at this size of screen (I currently change it for FHD resolution for better performance).
I hope we get the LG G4 features on roms for G3.
However, I have phone's contract for 1 year, and mine ends on July, if my carrier offers me the G4 at a good price like they did for G3, then I will upgrade if they doesn't then I will keep my money and maybe buy a newer smartwatch or just save the money for another stuff.
Yes I will get it looks better than S6 plus the camera is crazy

The ui looks really smooth. Hope LG can port a version for us.

I'm getting this one just for the camera, but not now maybe a 8 months later.
I would like it too but I'm happy with the G3. I don't use the camera too much. An there are some new feature which maybe are not that grate cuz they just came in. I learned that NEW is not always better. Maybe I'll get it, maybe I'll wait fot G5.
Nah, I don't see why I would spend so much money on marginal improvements. I do believe that the G4 is better in almost every way but the G3 is still a great device.
I do hope that LG will port their renewed software to the G3 although they didn't really do it for the G2... Again, I thank the dev community for providing us with great software. Without them I would have hated the G3 experience (I just didn't liked the stock software...)

That's not leather. It's rugged plastic. It's a LG cover (not a battery cover). I have one in black.
I think the only worry I have now with the G4 being announced/released is with updates?. LG has been really good at the moment with releasing updates for our G3's but... Am sure we will now be last with future updates .
Having watched a number of videos of the G4, the only major change is the camera imho. It also appears that the screen is less sharp?. Like I stated in my previous post, the jump from the G3 to G4 isn't big enough to warrant a upgrade.. For me at least anyway.
Lets just see how LG fair with updates for a "old" device?!.
If the processor was 810 I'd think of upgrading in the future but 808 still better but not that big deal for me. There are other good improvements but G3 does the job perfectly fine and I'm sticking with it!
Waiting for a renewed nexus 5, (hoping to see something at Google I/O). The G3 is a good device, but N5's form factor suits me best, in addition to performance and fluidness of stock android.
Well i think its not worth the upgrade. I mean the cam is really impressive+the improvements on screen (brighter +quantum display) but G3 is perfect for now, screen is really good perfomance too plus we have roms ,mods to improve it even more so i dont think i ll bother buying it.Maybe after some months when the price is lower.... maybe..
i believe the leap from UX 3.0 to 4.0 is not that significant
but i am tempted by the camera and the screen - as much as i love my G3, i too still find that the screen could've been britghter for my liking
For me, probably not.
I'm not taken by the new changes to the design, or the slight increase in specs. I cant justify spending a fortune for it when I'm perfectly happy with my G3. Pretty much as everyone above says really, but I'll hold out. :angel:
Only if
Why didn't LG get it upgrade to 4gb RAM !
If got 4gb Ram i upgrade it today if already on sales
Is there any confirmed news about V20??
I can't believe there's no discussion on this! I'm psyched!
praying they keep the removable battery... Make it bigger and go with dual real cameras of the g5!
Let's make a dream phone... I'll take some front facing speakers too!
http://m.gsmarena.com/lg_v20-8238.php
OK this just popped up. I'm pretty much doing a Google search every 10 minutes. (bored at work)
Can this be true?
5.7 " screen
4000 mah battery
20 MP rear camera
Second screen
4 gb ram with 33/64 gb version
6 gb ram option with 128gb version
*drooling*
*edit* I guess it's just a rumor. Bah
Sent from my pretty nifty brand new LG V10
My troughs about this news:
- Hope LG dont screw everything like in V10, hope for better battery, better dual front camera (without that beauty mode, because they screw it with that), hope for a better speaker or at least stereo front facing speakers.
Power isnt problem, make it with SD821/823 and put 6GB DDR4 RAM and 64 internal with microSD support and dont do too much variants with diferent sizes, make one worldwide version with same specs and we be happy!
5.7 inch is enough but why not remove the second screen (i know is a V10 exclusive feature and V20 will be nothing witout this but...) and make screen 6"?
All other features like IR Baster, Audio DAC, 2k display, aluminium rails on side, volume and fingerprint/power buttons on the back (like i love it). - Maybe a kevlar back cover and not plastic will be the next thing!
otherwise if the V20 will be worse than V10 i preciate anyway because i buy my V10 a month ago and i dont want to trade my phone so quick, hope they last for years with me...if V20 will be a beast and have a good looking then i will trade my V10 soon!
My wish list
- 821/823 processor
- unlocked bootloader
-a tad nicer screen
- remove the lower black bar at the bottom of the screen with the logo to make the body smaller
- remove the aluminum bars to make it thinner
- slim the bezels
- larger battery 4000mah
-improve the speaker (or add dual like the nexus 6P)
-id rather a 6" screen, same footprint w/out the second screen- useless gimmick imo
- better dac, always on..something akin to the vivo that has dual ess dacs
- improve the buetooth (hopefully aptx hd) and keep the ir blaster but improve the usage width ( i still prefer the blaster on my old note 4).
If they can keep it under 799, that would be awesome too.
Not sure what to so with my v10, once the v20 is out, tmobile only offered me $110 on trade in value, that is some serious depreciation.
Anyone think this new fingerprint on screen is related to V20 ?

http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-v20-renders-features-708851/
Here it is on Android authority
Why does it look so G5ish?
That back is definitely not "rugged" looking.
Volume on the side. I just got used to it on the back.
Modules? At least that means still keeping a removable battery...
I like the idea of the dual back cameras. That was one of my wishes.
I don't think it's as nice looking the V10 but that could be because the leaked renders are white and I just don't like the way white phones look.
I don't see any signs of a new on screen fingerprint reader (same back button) and definitely no sign of a stylus. (I knew it was just a dream)
At least I finally have a new leak to look at!
I'll close with this.... If they ever came up with some sort of keyboard attachment for use with that modular setup... Well... I'd just die. Seriously, I'd fly to Korea to buy the thing.

yes, right...LG is the only who gives you full specs with this kind of extras, i love the IR Blaster since my first LG Android phone back in 2013. Since then i cant live without IR Blaster and since then i only buy LG's phones.
Thats why i love LG, others like sammy are skiping IR Blaster (and then i laugh a lot) because they rise the prices day after day and give you less and less extras. While LG even in some "low end" phones keep putting the IR Blaster...is amazing!
my fist LG with IR Baster was G2 Mini, then G3, then G Flex2 and now V10...hope someday they improve the Quickremote app to control more stuff, or radiofrequency stuff it will be amazing.
But i know thats not gonna happen, they forget the app since G3 and now is all of the same, no new compatible TV's or Cable Boxe's codes. Let's hope they realize who important is IR Blaster for people who buy LG because of that.

smartphones like Samsungs are currently becoming more and more like Iphones lol. Giving less features at a higher price. I mean, i really love the IR Blast, ( it has become a need for me now,. and i bet some people do love to do pranks with it lol which is fine), also the removable battery. I have to say, the best smartphone Samsung has come up with is the Galaxy s5! i still own it and i do love it, it has everything i need plus some extras in case i my curiosity awakes. But since the s6 and up..... all i see is samsung removing great features, and applying an useless glass design that.... If they havent notice, one can actually use the fingerprint of the owner without being the owner because that glass design retains all fingerprints and so,,,, just use a piece of tape and some dust and buala..... instant fingerprint for robbers. Now.. The LG V20, im not so sure it will look like the render images that has been poping all over the internet now. what tells me that the one who built that "preview model" isnt just someone who loved the g5 design and so it just designed a phone based on what he/she would love to have? i mean, for someone with basic training in softwares such as CAD3d and or blender, that should be an easy cake to bake. so, chances are it is a fake design. I kind of doubt that LG will use the same approach of the prime coating covering the thick metal layer below, they know that is one of the main reason the phone had such a low rating from population all over the world. But if they use that approach again... LG must be stupid lol! Nevertheless, I do expect for the phone to have IR blast, sd card slot, 4/6 GB ram,, SD 820 or better. The new fingerprint that has been rumored so much, maybe waterproof (A BIG MAYBE LOL), and if they are going to use the same approach for modularity, they should integrate a second battery inside the phone so that when you remove the module part, it doesnt turn off for at least 5 minutes, otherwise, that modularity feature seems kind of time consuming. Now, i know some of this things wont be made, but well, Dreaming is good. Oh yeeeeeah and i forgot, FOR GOD SAKE, I HOPE THE BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED AT LEAST FOR TMOBILE OR EUROPEAN Models! lol, it took a while for the g5 to be cracked by the devs and it would be such a pain that it were to happen the same with the v20

I agree. I've always rooted my phones and put custom ROM' s on them. Never felt the need to even root my v10. I've had it since launch.
Sent from my LG-H901 using XDA Free mobile app
i am really interested to buy LG v20 but as ive heard that LG has locked the bootloader and its very difficult for the devs to root it? I bought Note 5 and after a month LG v10 was released so not i am waiting for v20 i hope so V20 is a dev friendly phone.
Hey thanks for helping out.
Okay, let's break things down. Consider I can get either of these phones for the same price. Now, go through my impressions on both the phones and help me decide.
So, these are reasons to go for,
G6 over OP5
- The design
- "I" think the G6 camera got an edge over OP5
- It's compact yet has a bigger screen
- Water resistance (not really a deal breaker for me though)
- OIS
- Design again (It's essentially just the design and alot the design)
OP5 over G6
- I love Oxygen OS just because it's closer to stock android (G6 doesn't even come close in this department)
- Much cleaner with nearly no bloatware
- More RAM and better processor means smoother and faster experience
- I think I would find myself using the portrait mode more often than a wide angle shot
- Dash charging (of course)
- Alert slider
- Faster read and writes
- Prefer AMOLED over LCD
And there are things like SOT, sound quality/volume and other little things that would make one of them top the other. Hope someone can give some valuable comments on this. Thanks again
PS: I know the later list is longer, but it's just not that easy for me Also you may know other things that would make either of my lists grow.
also a LED notification for the OP5, the G6 doesn`t have one, that was the one thing that bugged me about the G6, so I ended up getting rid of it, I would go OP5, but I will have my OP5 tomorrow...... so I will see if my mind changes on that lol
For me The OP5 is better

The design of the oneplus5 is good bro , i know it's like a year old desing and everybody been pissing on it , but be sure to know that if it wasn't close in apparence to the Iphone 7 , nobody will point it out as a "bad" design ... once you take that idea out of your brain , the design is really good , also don't judge it like you see it because unless u held it you know nothing about it ... like MKBHD said : the most important is how it feels .
The camera on it is also great , i couldn't rely on the reviews on youtube , just because some people showed it better than the biggest phones , while others showed it like trash ... so for this i'll say it's up to you , it's definitely a user preferance thing , but note that hopefully it will get better with software updates and also that the phone is less than a week old
compact , bigger screen , water resistance ... are things that - again - come to your preferance , some of us would've wanted an infinity display on it , even the company said it themselves ... if it's a deal breaker for you than definitely consider them
as for OIS , it's something shamefull , like how could a company promote a phone and make it's selling point on the camera and not include OIS ?! i don't know , but something to point out , is that of there were EIS with 4K vids , or if EIS was more enhanced ... the lack of OIS will be no problem , even though
OIS >>> EIS ... but still an enhanced EIS will do the job , and hopefully OP will be on it with software updated to put EIS for 4K videos and make it over all better
hope i helped you with is , presonnally just for stock-ish android experience , and support of the dev community and root and all that ... i will choose a OnePlus phone over anything else ... the GPixel is great , but very expensive nd lacks some very cool stuff that the OP5 has ... and after all , it is your call , for me ... i would rock that OP5 .
G6 only has snapdragon 821 whereas OnePlus has 835. That's another big item I think.
Some for hijacking the topic but I too am considering buying OP5 but am confused which version should I get, the 6GB one or the 8GB one. Storage is not an issue as 64 GB will be four times more than what I need, lol. But just curious if that 2 GB will make any difference in performance? If not now, will it make difference in the next say 6-12 months, as I am considering to buy this one for at least 2 years.
Thanks
G6 better build quality, display, camera. The only downside to it is its an S821 but the S821 is a great SOC.

6GB will last you for some years to come. As of now, there is no real usage for 8GB of RAM; the software isn't properly optimized (yet). With some time and custom ROMs this will probably change though. But still, considering most major flagships (S8, Pixel, G6) only have 4GB, the 6GB version should be more than enough. I was considering the 8GB version only because of how storage consumption is currently growing pretty fast, so I was concerned I might run out of storage when I manage to keep my phone more than 3 years. Also I like the matte black version more.
At the end, I still opted for the 6GB/64GB/Slate Grey version though. Arrives tomorrow

For the casual user you probably won't notice a difference. 6GB is still well beyond what you'd get from pretty much any other manufacturer. If you are a super heavy multitasker, that is probably where you might see a difference.
That said, I got the 8GB one, but it's probably overkill even for me. One of the biggest surprises using this phone is that even large games stay open, suspended in the background practically forever. No more random Pokémon Go Plus disconnects!
Software is key for me. I sold my S8 because as much as loved the hardware, the op5 blows it out of the water in performance. Lgs software imo is even worse than Samsung as it's just all over the place.
Personally I wouldn't pay anything over $300 for a phone with last year's SOC. While it still works perfectly fine, that's akin to paying 2017 prices for a 2016 car.
Basically (to me) the raw speed and clean software on the op5 puts it over anything save for the pixel, which would be a closer call if the pixel could be had for less than the op5 price.

Agreed. I'm currently using the Pixel XL. And it's blazing fast and super smooth(Except some rare frame drops I encounter in the Android O beta). It's sad that I gotta let go of my Pixel. (Reasons I'm letting it go: It's been purchased from US and it doesn't support some bandwidths I need here in India. Also ROM is only 32, no dual sim and occasional microphone issues)
There no other, absolutely no other complaints I have with my Pixel. (Except for a stereo speaker I'd still want that)

I don't have any problem with the build quality of my O+5... It's nice, slim, thin, feels solid, ... great phone. Build quality? 100% good. :good:
OnePlus 5 all the way. The G6 is pretty much dead in the water. LG should have waited for SD 835 imo.

It's the bezels..man.. The phone really doesn't look like all that 2017. I would not have a second thought had the OP5 a bit slimmer bezels. At least like the G6 if not like S8
Believe me i faced the same dilemma.
There's no hitch in my mind after choosing the OP5.
Personally, it is a preference as to what you want in your phone.
Go over the pros and cons for both.
Check camera quality samples.
See comparison videos.
Etc.
Then make an informed decision bro.
On a Side Note:
These days the cameras on most mobiles are so good, it's very hard to make out whats good n what's not, in a manner of speaking...
The OP5 is missing a sd card slot. Thats a big drawback for me

I don't think I'd run out of memory with 128GB version (maybe 64GB too) really. Considering I also got a laptop if I needed a backup. I'm having a tough time with the 32GB on my Pixel XL though. There's only so much you can do even with a laptop to backup.
It's good only.
I have not tested it fully but I like it.
I switched from a Nexus 6P.. & still like the OP5 camera
It's still on personal preference..
Do check MKBHD's review on it.
Even SuperSaf camera comparisons..
You'll get the idea
