Any Regrets?

Has anyone bought the 6P and then asked themselves "why on earth did I spend the money, the other one was equally as good as this one".
I'm torn because from a standpoint of specs I just don't see a bunch of difference and the 6 is a great phone. SO that's the question, if anyone regrets it other than the fact it's a new phone, i would love to hear your take. :silly:
Thanks

6 vs 6P, maybe there's an argument there. I came from the N5.. No contest.

Came from the ZenFone 2....no regrets either.

Came from the S5 and this phone seems like an answered prayer.

I came from a Note 5 and I have no regrets. Much more clean and smooth.

Yes I have had this internal discussion. I had the OG LG G2 and it is perfect in every way for me at least. I do really like the larger screen but I will miss the G2.
The thing with specs are they are just that....specs... the lg g2 still feels fast and has no real lag and its old as F*******

Coming from the Nexus 6, I can say there was enough there to make me want the 6P. Sensor hub+ doze, battery, processor, finger print scanner, better display, not so wide frame, camera, it doesn't rock around on the table when you try to use it, 128GB, etc... I can say it is a solid upgrade in just about every way.
It's still brand spanking new, and I still haven't gotten over that kid in a candy store feel of getting a new device. Right now I would say I am extremely pleased and not regretting the purchase at all. Time will tell if I develop any complaints.
Edit: I would say the slightly smaller screen was the only thing I immediately noticed was different while using it, but it was not really a downgrade. 5.7 vs 5.9 inches isn't a huge change in real estate, but it still is a change. On the bright side, at least the 6P fits in my car's cupholder!

My only concern is the size. Coming from m8; this phone is way took big but I really like the specs of it. Trying to get used to the size.

Not one bit. I love this phone. Plus, mine seems to be bug or defect free. Yay!
Former Z3 owner.

I dont use my N6 for anything anymore..
This phone is sooooo much batter
Fingerprint scanner
Not as wide
Awesome dual front speakers
Better camera
Way better gaming performance
Better screen

0 regrets. Love doze, the screen, the speakers, the freedom to do whatever I like with the software. I am a bit hesitant about the camera but hopefully they push some software improvements later.

Slightly disappointred with my display. Whites are dirty / yellowish when looking straight at it. Look much better when viewing from an angle. Suffering a bit of color changing when i move the handset about.
Last phones was a Nexus 5, and a couple of months with a cheapy UMI Iron. Both of which had better whites. Hoping this is fixable.

Too big , mine is going back. My LG g3 had nearly the same size display in a much smaller package.

I know that you shouldn't have to for the price point of this phone, but there is already a kernel to adjust the screen temps and there will undoubtedly be more. LCD screens always have cooler, crisper light colors that comparatively seem almost dingey on AMOLEDs. But hey, you have a Nexus, so you can adjust everything you need to on a software level

None.

Nope 'no ragrets' (if anyone gets that reference) i came from a 64gb Nexus 6 which cost me $700+ tax so for $650+ tax the 128gb 6P was a steal. I love this phone and the camera is a beast. I haven't looked back and even sold my old Nexus 6 because i like this phone so much.

Eww LCD display are a thing of the past i prefer AMOLED screens because you get a true black and they just look better. If i could have an OLED or AMOLED TV and not pay $$$$$$$$ i gladly would buy one. I have a really nice LG monitor but the backlight annoys me and I wish it was an AMOLED especially after paying $1k for it. Everyone has their preference and mine is and always will be an OLED or AMOLED

I'm actually an AMOLED fan myself :highfive: it took me a while to get used to the difference in whites coming from an HTC M8 to the droid turbo (my 6p won't be in hand until tomorrow). But I had an S4 prior to the M8 and I truly appreciate the saturated darks on AMOLEDs. After a week or so, I never even notice the slight hues associated with AMOLED screens but I think some are just more sensitive toniticing the the contrast than others. Hopefully in the next 5 years an AMOLED TV will become a more affordable option

That's how I feel. My first Android phone was the S3 which had an AMOLED screen them I had a Note 3. I moved in to a LCD on my G3 and while i liked the phone the screen at times was horrible in comparison. I've had some other LCD phones and tablets but anything with an AMOLED will win my money in the end. It's sad to see Motorola stray from them because now we are left with Samsung phones, and Nexii for now (for the most part). I'm sure with the recent rumors of apple considering an AMOLED will spark further demand for them which is a good thing. I really enjoy how nice AMOLED/OLED screens look. Let's not forget the battery life that usually follows which is generally better.

I couldn't agree more with you man. That was a really odd move on Moto's part IMO because of their way of delivering notifications...really stupid to move away from the low battery draw of AMOLEDs regarding active notifications. Though, I think Moto is a sinking ship in general these days, but that a-whole-nother discussion. I hope Apple does push for AMOLED so that it becomes more coveted feature, but it takes them a while to get on board with big changes.

Love the phone coming from a Verizon note 3. Two comments. One, the battery life isn't that great compared to the note. Samsung actually did a great job there imo. But I can still get two days out of the phone with light to moderate usage so all good. Two, for whatever reason apps take a long time to install after the download is finished. Everything else is fast on the phone.

LG G5 vs LG G4

In this topic discuss about this 2 devices. Are you satisfied to see lg's new phone? How is new UI compare to G4? Does G5's modules worth?
If you ask me : The design of g5 simply awful than g4. Probably the build quality is better. New UI not bad at all. Only thing that i didn't like is that, there is no app drawer on G5. It is interesting to see mew modules on G5 but for me, i don't need to use them.

Hands-on videos made me change idea about this new G5:
It seems to be a very good phone and the new UI is quite fashinating to me
(But launcher icons are ugly, ahah :silly
I don't appriciate new design (the front), but that would be confortable to use, IMHO

Think they should have stuck to 5.5 inch but guess their thinking is 5.3 inch phone is nearer size of most of the flagship phone competition, so in theory more likely to sell more units. Whether in reality that's the situation only time will tell

The smaller display means no G5 for me....5.5in is the smallest display I will go for these days.
I'm going to see what the S7 Edge looks like (on paper and in-hand)...the rumoured 5.7in screen with the curves might feel like a 5.5in device without the curves. The battery and waterproofing I'm hearing about has me interested in this product, and the Note 5 has much better outdoor brightness so I'm hoping that will carry forward to the S7 series.
If the S7 Edge does not do it for me ergonomically, then I'll see what the V11/Note 6 has to offer later this year, or if I get impatient maybe the Nexus 6P (but the 6P might not be much of an upgrade for me over the G4).

Personally,im not very impressed with the new G5.

I'll wait for the g6

Also waiting for the G6. Or the new nexus, we'll see how it compares.

Most likely, bootloader unlock will be impossible, so for me it's a no go (but that's subject to change if development takes off)

Can't see many people buying modules. After all your gonna need to take case off of you want to use them, and how many people are going to want to risk dropping their brand new phone without a case on. I just can't see it taking off anyhow, don't see that's whatwhat the majority of people want from a phone.
And the metal premium body looks pain ugly imo. May have well stuck with plastic/leather.

Sure, they should've used 5.5" screen, but that raises one important question: How big do you think the G5 would be if they used 5.5"? I look at it this way, G2 had 5.2" and one of the best screen-to-body ratios ever. Now the G5 has 5.3" screen while at the same time being taller than the G4 and having a smaller battery... Not impressed at all . They are fishing in the dark, experimenting too much and instead of focusing on the important stuff (soc, screen, camera, battery, design), they introduce some gimmicky "friends" whom practically nobody will use as they will probbably cost 50% of the price of G5. I'm a bit dissapointed...

Well, I'd be the first to get a module for a bigger battery. And you can't see people using it? Yeah I mean, it's that much better that we basically get clone after clone of the S6 or 6S that are just sealed off and "premium". LG is literally the only company that is actually trying to innovate stuff and do something different. I watched the S7 conference and it was like watching any Apple press conference ever. A lot of fancy words with a lot of bull**** behind it. As for the case, I've had an iPhone 4, iPhone 5, G3 and now a G4 and I have yet to put a case on any of my phones. And no, they don't look like they've been trough hell and back.

That is true, the screen to body ratio just gets worse. And how didn't they focus on the important stuff? You have a brighter screen, the 820 SOC, a better camera (or at least equivalent to the V10/G4), a premium metal design (looks nice to me). The only thing that sucks is the smaller battery, but then again, maybe the 820 will compensate for it with better efficiency? Who knows, we'll see.

Feature wise it's alright. No worse than my current G4 (didn't use QSlide or, really, any of the LG additions), but the smaller screen, lack of an app drawer (which, I know, can be compensated for with a 3rd party launcher; then again I would've wanted to give the stock launcher a go), and, most of all, a hideous design are the reasons why I would not get the G5 (moreover, I own the G4 for just under five months). Wonder what they come up with next, but if I had to make the switch now, it most likely would not be a G5.

Small battery, no back buttons, small screen, hideous bulge at the back, friends without benefits , nice idea with modular build but afraid to see "my modular hole entry display broken" like comments......
No go for me. Waiting for next year. Except the SD 820 nothing worth spending so much money.

We have to add a bigger space and pay for Bang & Olufsen module to have a good quality sound ? We don't have to do this with other devices like Meizu or HTC or others devices, Stoopid LG...

G2 and g3 was small diference and no need to upgrade from g2 to g3, g2 to g4 yes, same as g4 to g5 - NO g4 to g6 - yes , simple

I'm done with LG after the G4 because of its issues, mostly the bootloop.
If I wasn't, LG lost me at a smaller screen, smaller battery, and removing the buttons from the back.

Everything was going great until I realized that I need to turn off the phone, remove the battery and turn it on again if I want to listen to music using a 3.5mm headset.

Not that pretty (camera protrusion?), but a metal body is nice.
Size - not a big deal to me, as I use both the G4 and V10 and don't seem to have a preference in terms of size
Camera - interesting having two rear cameras, thou I doubt I would care. The dual fronts on the V10 are actually somewhat useful (group vs single selfies)
No volume button on the back, that I don't like so much
Module addons? Another meh for me, personally. Replaceable battery is good.
UI? meh. I use google now anyhoo. the G4 and V10's uis are ok, though.
I'd take one if it were free, maybe. Dunno If I would upgrade to one, though.

Planning to buy S7 edge need suggestions!!!

hi friends
i am girish here
I am planning to buy this device can any one please suggest me its pro's and con's?
Also need some sample pictures from cameras to decide as my wife want best camera
hope some one will surely guide me

If you need the best camera, the S7/Edge is the only choice, there is no other phone that can provide this image quality.

Agreed, the image quality is really awesome, sometimes even more realistic than reality ahah
I don't see any con's except for the price
It has the best screen, the best camera, a really awesome battery (see on XDA), a beautiful design (S7 edge), and the water resistance can save you ! Honestly it's THE phone to buy

Consider the dual sim version... Not much more expensive.. I regret not getting it thinking the battery life would be too adversely effected... A colleague of mine bought it after me and we don't notice any major battery life degradation. Regardless, S7 is a solid piece of work..no cons I've noticed after about a month of use.

thank you all of you:laugh: i will soon join you all in the development section of this device:good::highfive:

Well I have a 6s plus as well and the camera is stunning on the edge
Best camera on a phone I've ever seen.

Go for it, can't go wrong.
Best Phone I ever had.

Buy a good case if you buy one of these phones. I recommend this one or cases like it that cover parts of the front. My girlfriend's screen shattered the other day from a waste high drop in a Caseology case and I've dropped my phone on pavement more than a dozen times with zero damage.

Hi guys!
Finally after so many years using WM, I decided to make a change( specially that i dropped badly, deadly my 950xl). I fall in love with the s7 edge screen and specs. The only thing I'm afraid...the screen. I read a lot of storries about the screen cracked from nowhere, or so. Is that sensitive piece of glass?!

If you are going to buy Samsung you should wait for the S8, it will have the latest version of Android, that's how slow Samsung are releasing it to the current ones

Ugly phone and the screen doesn't compare IMO. This screen on the S7 Edge is unbelievable. As for cameras, never used the Pixel camera, but in comparisons I've seen online, they are close, but the S7's camera usually comes out the winner in head to head battles. Especially for speed and more options in the camera app itself, which vanilla Android on the Pixel is sadly lacking.

Take the silver one. It's wonderful

While I have the classic black, yup, the silver one is nice, but my wife has the blue. It is really nice. I would have gotten it myself, but didn't want to have the same colour phone and she got hers first

Ok guys, is not about the color, camera or what so ever. Is about the screen. Is it showing after some use, any black spots or the screen just crack " just by it's self ?" is it that sensitive piece of kit?

I haven't had the S7 Edge for that long, but as mentioned, the screen is amazing. As for issues with it? I haven't read anything online and I did a lot of research before coming from the 6P to this phone. It is built solidly IMO and should have no issues. If others have had a problem, they can post here, but this is a solid phone for sure.

Thinking about getting rid of this ..

Thinking about getting rid of this and going with OnePlus 3 again..
Am I the only one who doesn't have good battery life ? I'm on like day 2 or 3 and doesn't seem good at all. Also the cameras don't seem as good especially slomo..it looks so noisy and low res..any ideas?

Battery life is great for most of us. Not sure if you got a lemon. Both phones have similar battery life. Camera wise, the one plus 3 wins. The axon 7s camera doesn't impress at all. If camera is important, your options are the one plus 3 or the honor 8.

Maybe I'll just wait to see if there is any improving software updates or maybe see how cm13 is

I have the Axon 7, OnePlus 3 and Honor 8, and I get about the same battery life on all 3. About 5-6 hours of SOT with 16-18 hours of all day usage. I also agree that the camera is better on the honor 8 and OnePlus 3, but I'm hoping a software update makes the camera a bit better on the Axon.

Audio both headphones and speakers are incredible, amoled 1440 also impressive, oneplus 3 screen hurts eyrs looking at. Screen is crap and audio is no better. I got one and felt relief gettin rid of it.
Camera and software are better, also dev community.
So if you are more on dev and photo side choose 1+3, if multimedia fan stay with axon 7.
About honor 8, don't forget GPU is much worse, and glass body is fragile and fingerprints nagnet.

Screen looked sharp on op3 to me lol axon 7 doesn't impress me..maybe the included screen protector I have on it degrades it ?

The LG V20 that was just shown recently looks like my next phone. It's got everything this phone has and more including backcover and removeable battery. LG does get decent custom rom support and factory updates are better imo than Samsung. The only issue I have in the past is LG tends to get hotter because of LCD. LG did mention V20 has ES9218 DAC from ESS.
My beef with the Axon 7 is the antennas are weak and GPS signals are problematic. I've had the G4 and the signals and GPS are strong.

Have your vision checked.,seriously. The OP3 is 1080p and pentile, meaning the actual ppi is around 330, which is low and visible. Unless you mash your face right up to the axon 7 (uses the s6's amoled) you wont see the pixels.

lol I'm 17 I have perfect vision. It looks nice and vibrant to me but yeah I do know that you can see the pixels easier on op3 vs axon 7 but from normal distance the axon 7 didn't "wow" me maybe this screen protector doesn't do much justice for it, especially since it's a finger print smudge magnet

The Axon 7’s 5-inch 2560 x 1440 pixel display is bright and clear, faring well in open sunlight. This is another instance in which it outdoes the OnePlus 3, which is also 5.5-inches, but only 1920 x 1080 pixels when it comes to resolution.
The main issue with the One Plus 3’s (OP3) display is the accuracy of its color rendition, an issue that blew up the company’s online forums until it released an update to giving users access to sRGB developer options, though this, reported many, was not entirely successful.
While I’m no colour accuracy expert, the Axon 7’s display colours appear correct, and the display looks noticeably richer than the OP3’s screen.

lol I'm 17 I have perfect vision. It looks nice and vibrant to me but yeah I do know that you can see the pixels easier on op3 vs axon 7 but from normal distance the axon 7 didn't "wow" me maybe this screen protector doesn't do much justice for it, especially since it's a finger print smudge magnet

Are you using the screen protector that came inside the box (the one you have to apply yourself) os the plastic that come on the phone from the factory ?
If it's the latter, take it off as that isn't a screen protector. Apply the one that came inside the box yourself, or go naked.
It makes a huge difference as the one already on is just there for packaging purposes.

G4 owners upgrading to G6: happy with purchase?

I have the LG G4 and was considering the upgrade to G6. Verizon customer.
1. How do the cameras compare? The rear is supposed to be better by all accounts. Front camera is 5 MP on G6 and 8 MP on G4, is this a downgrade in photo quality? Perhaps not since MP is not everything.
2. How does the battery life compare?
3. Is a case important on G6? Seems necessary with all that glass. G4 was excellent for handling falls due to leather or plastic back and slight curve in screen.
Downsides are loss of IR blaster and no more removable battery. Any other losses upgrading G4 to G6?
One more thing, the Galaxy S8 can stretch youtube videos to fullscreen but I get the impression the G6 does not have this ability, is that correct?

I upgraded from a G3 to a G6 on Sprint. I haven't had it long enough to answer all your questions, but I can offer a little input.
The battery life is significantly better. Obviously, there is a lot of degradation given the G3 is several years old, but I went out and bought a new G3 battery a year ago. The G6 gets me through a whole day easy. I do use an Android Wear watch to triage notifications, so I have a less than average screen time on the phone, but I'll go running using the phone's GPS in the morning or do an hour of lifting with the screen on the whole time inputting into an exercise app, etc. The fast charge on the G6 is amazing. It is multiples faster charging than the G3. I also bought a wireless charger, which is great to set on my desk at work.
I think a case is important. The glass back is gorgeous, but I've only seen it for about 10 seconds once while I held it 6 inches over a plush carpet to install the case. I dunno. I put on a Spigen carbon case, and it does not add much bulk to the phone. I had a Spigen on my G3 for three years and it looked like it went through a war. The G3 looks pristine.
Lack of IR blaster wasn't a problem for me because I just took my old G3 and put it in the TV room to use as a remote. The only issue I see with the non-removable battery is getting a few years down the road when its capacity is less.
I don't use YouTube much at all. I did just now pop it open and fired up a video, and can confirm it did not stretch to full screen. I thought I read somewhere that Google was going to work on this on the software end as they're expecting more 16:9 phones to come along. I have no idea what the S8 does.
I haven't tested out the camera much. Honestly, I was amazed at the high quality of the G3 camera and would be happy if the G6 was as good. I take videos of our kid's wrestling matches and share some of the videos with other parents when they can't be there to watch their kids. I have gotten a lot of remarks about how fantastic my phone's videos are (the G3, that is) from people that have iPhone 6's and 7's. Still photos were awesome from the G3, and I should drag my butt out and try out the G6's new wide view.
I can't think of any other downsides. I do like the form factor of the G6 a lot more than the G3. I didn't mind the G3 that much, but the G6 is a lot narrower. It feels much more comfortable in the hand than the G3. It's taller, but that doesn't seem to be much of an issue for me. Fingerprint scanner on the G6 is great. Unlocks the phone instantly. It was a big adjustment to get used to volume buttons on the back of the G3, and now it's a big adjustment to get used to the "normal" side buttons of the G6. The G6 doesn't seem crazy faster than the G3 and the screen resolution is the same. The G6 does look a little sharper and clearer. My Sprint G6 is supposed to have this awesome new HPUE that increases speeds inside buildings, but I haven't noticed much of a difference in LTE speeds. Maybe that will come.
My G3 was stuck on Marshmallow, and the G6 comes with Nougat and Google Assistant out of the box. I haven't gotten into any good conversations with Assistant yet.
