Already? This could come out in about 6 months according to other articles. Pretty sure I'm returning my G4 to Verizon in exchange for a Nexus 6..

Not because of this just find battery life disappointing. Haven't had any touch issues. But I did go right to Nova launcher and SwiftKey.

1. Rumor
2. Guess you missed the thread that still sitting here on the front page started today about this every same thing
I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I've never truly had my mind blown. If the specs are fact, then I'll be prepared to be blown.
I'm returning my G4 as well, and getting another Note 4, a black one this time. Such hot specs on this gizmo and being unrooted is like driving my Benz at 55mph. Can't even run any adblocker. What kinda life is that!
Screen's too big for my taste. Same reason I've never liked the note or Nexus 6 even though i owned them both. G4 is pushing my limit with size as it is. I would only be jealous if the thing comes with an unlocked bootloader out of the box!

Haha.. I know how you feel.. well, I'm planning to return mine too.. Tell you the truth, the only thing I consider when choosing G4 is external battery and media card that Samsung left behind and wonderful root experience I got with G3.. but LG playing hard on this unlock thing, so no more LG for me..
I hope the lg g4 pro will alot better then this g4 808 snapdragon.

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
Yesterday my phone just went black and no matter how hard I tried to turn it on, it just wouldn't turn on.. Also, yes, I have tried plugging it in without battery and seeing if it will display the missing battery screen, but it only sometimes does, which would indicate a failing hardware inside my phone.
My question was, is the J500FN (2016) a great upgrade over my dead LG L Fino? Are you guys satisfied with the phone? Is the touchscreen input response time great? Also, which ROM/Kernel would you recommend me to use if I bought this phone?
Thanks in advance!

Hello!
My answer to your question is no.
J5 (2016) doesn't have that much development and Touchwiz sux.
I'm a J500FN (2015) owner and the phone is quite good and i didn't have any problem with it. But I'm using CM to use my phone to it's fullest capabilities, and not Touchwiz which make a phone a crap phone.
I don't recommend buying Samsung unless there is stable CM/AOSP available.
If you're looking for a phone with good XDA support, I would say to take a look at Moto G4 Play. It has similar hardware specs as J5 2016 and it got good XDA support.
Here is a comparison with specs between Moto G4 Play and J5 2016: http://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8104&idPhone2=7869 .
It depends what's your budget and what phone you want (e.g. with removable battery or not etc.).

Well, I don't plan on staying on Touchwiz even if I buy the phone, I just like it specs-side and that it has removable battery and SD card slot.

Well, J5 (2016) has few ROMs based on Touchwiz which is same thing. It doesn't have cm.
It's your choice, but if I were you, then I would choose the Moto G4 Play.

Ohh... I just noticed that J5 (2016) is J510FN, I was thinking that it was J500FN.. Good I noticed
Ok, so do you think J5 (2016) will get different ROMs soon ? I'm asking because J5 (2016) has a 500MB more RAM and has a bit of visual appearance improvements.

I dont think it will get any CM based rom. There is only one developer which made a kernel.
Man, just go for Moto G4 Play (2gb ram version) . It will even have Nougat according to gsmarena, if you care about it. It is cheaper, has similar specs and has good XDA support. Moto ftw! xD

J5 2016 has 2gb ram and Moto G4 Play 16gb version has 2gb ram too.
J5 2016 has GPU Adreno 306, which isn't too good if you game a lot. The FPS drop over time is quite significant, playing heavy games like GTA SA lags a lot. Otherwise it'd have been a great phone.
I have a J5 2016 (J5108) with stock 5.1.1 unrooted
I might get the Moto G4 Play after all.. Seems a better choice by a bit to me..

Thanks for the advice guys, but OnePlus 2/3 far exceed my budget..
Also I don't care that much about the camera - I don't focus on having an excellent camera anyways. And it can't have such a bad camera.. (Probably is better than on my LG L Fino)
I've watched videos on YouTube, showing the camera's capabilities and the quality seems decent enough for me.

Well thats unfortunate because the only issue with moto camera is it fails to focus on the subject. Very poor quality low light photos and videos tho but seems like you don't care about camera.

You said you have owned a G2 and a G3 but you can't know for the G4's quality..
Quick question. Is it worth getting a G4 Plus or G5 Plus and replacing a Galaxy S5? The S5 has had it's bootloader cracked and is now unlockable if you have the right version of it. The Specs on the S5 seem to be a bit better than the G4 or G5 plus, but I like the features of Moto's. This device would be for my sister, who is in no way a power user. I do all her technical stuff for her. One advantage of the Moto's is they will be updated to Nougat where as the S5 will be done at MM, I think. Secondly the unlocking of the Moto bootloader is crazy simple and the S5 is a bit more involved. Any opinions are appreciated. Thank you.
Go for a Nokia 6 or G5 plus.

I agree, but the Spec's on the older SG5 are not the bad compared to the G5 Plus. It's not like the G5 Plus totally destroys the SG5. I do like the clean Moto interface and the Moto actions. Biometric unlocking is cool too. I am leaning towards the G5 Plus but wanted to see what others thought as well.

I really wouldn't get an S5 unless new. The majority of S5s out there are refurbs or used, and even then they cost upwards of $200. IF you CAN get it new for under $200, pick one up. Custom ROMs are aplenty for it and it has better hardware than the G4/G5 (SD801, better camera, waterproofing, etc.).
The G5 should get Android O later this year, even given Lenovo's spotty track record on updates.
The G4 won't get O unless through custom ROMs.
Age also matters. I would say that the G5 would be a little better durability wise given its metal construction, but I also don't know how old your sister is.

My original post might have been confusing, she currently has the S5. We are considering getting her the G5 Plus. She is not techie and wouldn't benefit in any way from a custom ROM. She wouldn't know how to do anything with custom firmware.

Ah OK, makes sense. Yeah, then I would go with the G5 Plus.
Personally, I think Lenovo dropped the ball with the Plus as the standard G has a removable back and battery, while the Plus does not.
The G4 has a removable back, and while it technically does not have a removable battery it can be removed with a few screws, connectors, and battery adhesive. So, in the long run, I would definitely prefer the G4.

It is nice that the G4 has a removable battery, but I like the specs of the G5 Plus a bit more. She will upgrade her phone again in 2 years or so anyway. If the battery can't last that long then I'm done with Moto. We will keep the S5 as a backup and I plan on unlocking the boot loader if she has the version that is unlockable.

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.

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.

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
