LG G3 (32gb) vs One Plus One (64gb)

so as the title states what would you guys rather have (att contract LG G3) or the 64GB One Plus One

The oneplus is a great phone but its hard to obtain due to the invite crap they do. If you have an invite I'd say buy both and see what you prefer. If you don't have an invite why even think which one to get.

say you had both boxed up on your desk right now.

They both have similar specs and camera too
both have s801,3gb ram, same sony camera sensor but the one plus is half the price and you need invite which is hard to get.
oh and then lg g3 have so called laser focus like dslr but anandtech proved that its not really a laser focus like dslr
http://www.anandtech.com/show/8062/a-closer-look-at-the-g3s-ir-laser-auto-focus-system

im just saying like if you had both still in box and had to give one up witch one would you keep? (and it would be your daily driver phone)

I previously posted my review of the OnePlus One over on the OnePlus forum but I guess I might as well post it here as well for others debating between the two...
TL;DR: I ordered the OnePlus One and the LG G3. When they arrived I was so unimpressed with the Oneplus One that I sold it to a coworker for the original price I paid and happily kept the G3.
Detailed version...
I won an invite from the Storm Of Invites about 5 weeks ago. I promptly placed an order and the phone arrived last Tuesday. However, while the phone was in transit I started doing more research to see if it really was the phone for me and if there were other options out there. In the end I chose to sell it to my co-worker and order the LG G3 instead. After doing my research I felt the G3 would better fit my needs. Once I finally got my hands on the OnePlus One in person and played with it for a bit I was VERY glad that I sold the One to my co-worker and opted for the G3 instead.
Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of pros to the One, but the cons greatly outweighed them for me...
Pros:
- It's very snappy. It feels as snappy right out of the box as my Nexus 5 did with all the tweaks and CM11 installed. It was definitely snappier than the G3 right out of the box. (But after some minor tweaking I can now say that the G3 is as fast.)
- The back plate of the phone feels fantastic in the hand. It's very premium and will hold up vey well to scratching.
- The reviews convinced me that the phone would be too big for use with one hand. This is actually not the case. I don't have large hands by any means and can say that the One feels great in one hand. I was not afraid of dropping it at all.
- Overall the phone feels like a premium ($600+) device and I'd argue that the overall feel is higher quality than the LG G3.
Cons:
- The d*** yellow tint at the bottom of the screen. I read about it from many users before receiving my phone. Some said it was very noticeable while others said it wasn't a big deal. However, the yellow tint is definitely there, it absolutely is noticeable on light grey/white backgrounds, and there is no doubt in my mind that it is a defect. The fact that OnePlus refuses to admit this is a defect and replace phones with this issue is very off-putting and tells me a lot about the company.
- Chrome bezels. This is personal preference but I hate phones with chrome bezels because they just scratch way too easily, in my experience. I wasn't a fan of the chrome bezels on my Nexus 4 and I surely don't like them on the OnePlus One. I have no doubt that they will get scratched up (even with a case) rather quickly.
- While the phone does feel good in one hand, it's still too tall. The height of the phone is borderline awkward looking in person. OnePlus really should have eliminated the capacitive buttons and tried trimming the bottom bezel down a bit.
- Piggy backing off that last one, why the hell does it have capacitive buttons? Google designed great on screen buttons for a reason. There is no need to tack on additional buttons as well. OnePlus should have left that B.S. with HTC and Samsung. I understand you can disable them for the on screen buttons but it's redundant and unnecessary to have them.
...
Anyway, aside from the yellow tint (which definitely would be a deal breaker on its own), the remaining "cons" would not be big issues individually. However, when combined, they made me significantly less impressed with the phone as a whole. Had I not sold the phone to my co-worker I would have returned it for a full refund.
For those who may be curious, here are 2 other big reasons why I decided to go with the G3 before the OnePlus One even arrived...
- Wifi calling (T-Mobile). The One will never have this feature and since my cell reception at home is horrendous, I've been wanting to get a phone capable of Wifi calling on T-Mobile for a while now.
- After watching MANY reviews of the OnePlus One and LG G3 over the past month or so, it seems everyone was most impressed with the G3's camera. The extremely fast laser focus is a very cool feature that I plan on making good use of. So far it's lived up to the hype.
- Buttons on the back instead of the sides. To me this is a great evolution of the smart phone. Over the past few years I've grown quite annoyed of side buttons that tend to cause issues with cases fitting perfectly and getting accidentally pressed when pulling the phone from your pocket. Plus I've felt that it can be awkward to access side buttons properly with one hand without feeling like you are going to drop the phone. The back buttons on the G3 are very welcomed, in my opinion.

@sn0warny great review. @therussiann although the oneplus sounds appealing I've read that its had a lot of issues software wise. And cm needs to push a lot of updates to fix these. It would be an awesome phone just needs a lot of refinement. That said G3 all the way

I am a nexus 5 user. but i would get G3 over 1+1.

I have the oneplus 64gb black one in my pocket right now along side my nexus 5. I got it yesterday and wanted to test it out before deciding what to do. I also have an lg g3 coming tomorrow as well so im going to have all 3 at once to make my choice.
I can tell you right now i really really like the oneplus one. feels great in hand and the sandstone back cover is money. It is a little tall though. I will probably be selling it in favor of the lg g3. Check swappa soon for my post. phone is fast and awesome just not fully my scene i think. Will know for sure once i have a couple days with the g3...i played with one last night and it was really really nice

oneplus one is like big foot ....

This poll i a G3 forum is kind of pointless. We already know what the results will be. But I know LG will stand by their product and make good on their warranty. A new company coming in and trying to do things cheaply raises concerns for me in that area, and the apparent screen issue in the above comment reinforces that.
But I'm also a college student and don't have the money to just get another phone if mine has problems.

A big reason I stayed away from the OPO, is ease of repairs/replacement. Judging by how shady ONE Plus' business practices are, I feel you'd have to jump through hoops to get anything fixed.

lol, you never take poll in a biased community my friend. but LG g3 all day and every day...the phone is better, the company is better, warranty is better, shipping is better, obtainability is better, company honesty is better, screen is better (no yellow)...what else...

Lg. Simply cause I'm not interested in following contests and begging for invites. I rather walk into a store and buy my phone.

I'm using both the One plus one and G3 over the last couple of days. I'm liking the OPO over G3 currently mainly because it is more snappier and feels better in the hand than G3. I feel the G3 is little too wide to be held comfortably for long durations of time. The camera is better in the G3. Overall the OPO is a great value compared to G3 or other flagship if you could get hold of one at the actual price.

Truth is I still love my nexus 5 over all. I will use the g3 until the nexus 6 drops probably

If the G3 feels too wide, then the OPO would feel even wider, given it's the wider device.

No it's not because I'm using them both. OPO is taller and G3 is wider.

Still a good phone?

A bit deceived by HTC with the U 11 that has apparently a bad 3.5mm adapter, I am searching for a good phone to replace my 1 year old HTC 10.
I saw the V20 is an excellent audio phone with a very good camera and screen but I am afraid of a lack of custom roms and contrast for the screen.
What do you think? Is the V20 too old to fight against newer S8 and U 11 or it's still a strong candidate?
Any lags?

I don't have my phone as I am still waiting for it to come in the mail; However, the spec on papers appears that both phones are similar in CPU and RAM. Is there something specific that draws you to the V20?

question is: why would you want to replace your htc10 in first place?
except you have some problem with it, I would see no reason why you should change it with a v20... unless you're going to use really high impedance headsets... but since you're considering the s8 as a substitute, I doubt have you have any interest for that kind of headsets.
v20 and htc10 share the same SoC, have more or less the same overall photo quality (v20 has the wide angle camera which is useful and nice but you may or may not be interested in landscapes), v20 has a better screen, but altogether it's not a great step forward from the htc10.
so... if listening to lossless tracks with high impedance headsets isn't your top priority, you can either keep your htc10 or go for the s8. otherwise v20 is a no brainer, together with the korean g6.
if you're just looking for a fresh new smartphone, s8

Well the v20 has an IR blaster and a removable battery. That alone makes it a step up from the HTC 10. The S8 and u11 don't have enough specs to make up for that IMO. If I was buying a phone today, I would personally choose the v20. I Love mine!

The V20 is way too heavy, I was interested at first for the bigger screen but this phone is too heavy even without a cover

Not compared to the U11 you mentioned - that's only 5g lighter.
The V20 is well engineered and solidly built, that's a plus. A case adds very little extra weight.

I think a dbrand skin will be perfect no? it will make it prettier and protect it against scratches

I've dropped my phone several times. This phone is built to last, you don't need a silly case over it covering up all the sexiness lol

I got rid of my V20 after 5 months I hated it. Battery life was awful. The look and feel was cheap. The speaker was tinny. It was very sluggish from time to time without a reason. The screen was very good for a LCD. Dual camera was fun and pictures came out well most of the time but nothing to brag about.

Overall love

Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the Moto G6, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the Moto G6 is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Got it activated first on Project Fi 3 days ago, for some reasons - I was "expecting" it to be a little bigger but it's just 2 clicks larger than the Nexus 5X getting traded in with the "generous" upgrade. For an entry/mid-range smartphone in 2018, I voted a 4 out of 5 (not that the absence of NFC or inability to use G.Pay is a make or break deal, I hardly use it & most places still do not accept it as mobile payment here in the US)
Dolby sound is very good, screen is bright & audio played via the speaker is fine - giving it a good workout as we hit the road today for a trip, more on the G6 later ... bootloader still locked at the moment.
Net cost to get this brand new G6 to me is about $120 after the trade-in, not really spend much more than paying someone to replace the old, tired & not as good 2.5 years old battery on the Nexus 5X, so I'm a little biased on this Lenovo/Motorola piece.

Similar thoughts as you (also running the Project Fi version of the phone).
- Phone is smaller than I expected.
- Loving the thin bezels, looks much more premium than the actual cost to me ($200)
- I don't use NFC. Don't trust it, so the lack of NFC is not a big deal
- Battery life is good, front facing speaker loud, screen is bright and sharp
- Responsiveness is in line with what you would expect from a $300-400 phone IMO
- Nearly stock Android experience = CLUTCH

Agree with others. Coming from a 5X most everything is acceptable given the price. I was blown away by the speaker. BUT my biggest gripe is the cameras low light performance...its not good by any means, very grainy, colors are bad. Regular outdoor pics are good though. Also wouldve preferred for it to NOT have a glass back since im a klutz and guaranteed to break it.

Have had this phone a couple of weeks now. Got to say I like it a lot. Definitely a step up from my Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 that I had for 3 years. This is also the most expensive phone (about $250) I've had as I'm a cheap skate and no way I'm ever paying $400 plus for a phone. Just can't bring myself to do it. The price I paid for this phone is "high dollar" for me, lol. Still getting used to the new 18x9 screen. A part of me likes it and a part of me likes 16x9 better. Since pretty much all phones are going to this size, I guess I better get used to it. The new screen size almost feels like a "cheater" to me. Moved the menu icons inside screen and made the width smaller making keyboard in portrait view (which is the way I text) actually a little smaller than what I had. Taller view but most stuff you view in landscape has bars so I don't see the benefit to it yet. Most comments I read about it, people love it. Me not so much. Phone itself is very good. Performance is very good, screen resolution is very good, camera is very good, battery life is very good (especially compared to my Redmi Note 2 which was a battery sucker). I like Android 8 and Moto apps. Pretty much bloatware free, and is nice and snappy. Had to put a case on it (put a Spigen on it) cause the phone actually felt a little small in my hands. The case gave it a little more bulk and made it feel a lot better in my hand. Love the fingerprint scanner which to me is the coolest thing since sliced bread (yup I'm a dinosaur). To tell the truth I would probably still be using the Note 2 but it started acting up on me. Now since I got this one though, it pretty much blows away my old phone in every way possible which of course is a good thing since I spent the bucks for a new phone. All in all I'm pretty damned happy with this phone. About the only thing I could say I wished it was, was a bigger phone. I went from a 5.5" 16x9 screen to a 5.7" 18x9 screen and this feels smaller than the other one to me in my hands. In the 18x9 size, I wish a had like a 6" or 6.5" screen. That would give more width that I would like to have. The width on the 16x9 was actually about 1/4" wider than the18x9 one, which is actually a substantial difference when using a keyboard.

Great post, MikeO89...
Love your enthusiasm for the G6. It pretty much echoes mine.
I paid £220 here in the UK for mine, and like yourself, it's really about as much as I want to pay for a phone these days. There's been a considerable amount of coverage over the recent release of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, and certainly the specs do look pretty damn awesome, but at close to nearly a £1000, an eye-watering sum of money for me... well, I just couldn't envisage spending that amount, even if I had it. Maybe when I have the next winning Euromillions lottery ticket, I'll buy one or whatever flagship is out then, but until that auspicious and lucky day arrives, I'm more than happy with my Moto G6.
And which I bought to replace my ageing and battery-dying HTC One M8, which I paid £530 for back in 2014. I remember my Dad at the time saying in almost stunned and amazed disbelief "You want to spend how much on a phone??!!!" as though he'd not quite heard me correctly. Of course, I did try to explain that it was more of a personal pocket computer that just happens to have the ability to make phone calls. After I bought one and he saw it in action and began to understand the capabilities of it... well, he went out and bought one himself!
That was four years ago, and I'm a little bit more price conscious these days, so when my One M8's battery began to die earlier this year, I knew I needed a new phone.
Initially, I made the mistake of assuming that you needed to spend £600 or £700 on a phone to get a quality device. I'd been hearing about the Moto G series phones and the rave reviews they'd received around a year before, so when I heard about this years G6 release, I checked out all the reviews. My initial response was one of skepticism ~ how can a company like Lenovo release a phone with such great features at just a shade over £200 AND make a profit. Surely there's a catch, I mean there has to be, right? Wrong!
As it turns out, the Moto G6 is every bit as good as the reviews say it is. And you don't need to mortgage your soul to own one. I mean, where do I begin... fast turbo charging, really nice vibrant colourful screen, amazing battery life, Android 8 Oreo with next-to-no bloat, and fingerprint unlock. Yeah, I love fingerprint unlock. It's like your very own personal ON switch that nobody else can use, and no more playing join-the-dots and trying to remember which unlock pattern is correct for this device amongst the other devices (tablets) I own.
As for the size and aspect ratio, I love it. Coming from my old HTC One M8 which had an aspect of 16:9 and a resolution of 1080x1920...
...to the Moto G6 with an aspect of 18:9 (Rhetorical question: why isn't it just simply called 2:1) and resolution of 1080x2160, which my calculations reveal to be a 12.5% increase based on number of pixels alone. It is a sort of a cheat, but I feel in a good way. I now have a phone that doesn't feel significantly bigger than my One M8, because the width has stayed the same, but the height has increased, but not by that much when you 'add-on' the One M8's speakers at the top and bottom, but the actual screen size increase on the G6 is quite noticeable.
I use Nova Launcher, and I like tinkering around with Themes, Icon Packs, Wallpapers and Layouts and with the increase vertically, I now have more layout options for things like icons and widgets, because there's an extra couple of rows on the Nova desktop. And 5.7 inches feels about right to me. I'm not sure I would feel comfortable handling something like a 6 inch or larger device. If I can, I like to operate my phone one-handed and the bigger these things get, the more difficult one-handed operation becomes.
I do take your point about black bars in landscape mode though, particularly if you're watching video content, most of which tends to be shot in 16:9 aspect. This doesn't overly bother me really, because I generally don't watch a lot of stuff on my phone anyway. And when I do, I just sort of ignore the black bars. I watch a lot of old films and TV dramas on my TV back when things were shot in 4:3 aspect, and I just got used to seeing left and right black bars on my TV, so on my phone it's really not an issue for me.
I guess we can quibble about the shortcomings of the G6 ~ for example, the one thing I do miss is the left and right stereo HTC BoomSound front facing speakers that provided great quality audio on my old One M8. On the G6 there's only a single mono speaker - it sounds pretty good, but I miss the stereo - gotta dig out my headphones now if I want stereo. Great that there's an old fashioned 3.5mm audio socket on it for me to use my headphones. Won't get that an some £1000 flagships! I jest of course; I'm not having a pop at flagship devices, I'm just amused by the irony of it.
So, on the whole, minor quibbles aside, the Moto G6 is a pretty amazing phone for such a great price. It performs brilliantly and looks great. The Gorilla Glass back adds a touch of class to the device, although it can feel a little bit slippery at times. When I first got it, I had unpleasant visions of it sliding out of my hand and crashing to the concrete outside and cracking all that beautiful glass (the horror, the horror!), so I have now ensconced it in the protective embrace of a Spigen case, which actually looks quite good, and feels good in the hand too.
Well, that pretty much says it all really. A great phone at a great price. Can't really say much more than that... Well, I could, but then I'd be here all night typing superlatives and this post would just go on and on and on and on, etc., etc. and etc.
Ged.

its not the fastest device but for a budget device I really like it.

Overall probably the best bang for your buck if your looking at carrier specific devices. Came from a Galaxy S7 which I kinda went swimming with. I'm loving the 18:9 screen. I do notice the occasional hiccup when multitasking, but the battery life is on another level compared to my old S7.

Love my North American unlocked G6! Great value for the money. The battery life is fine, but I suggest using a browser for some of your social media, if you want to get plenty of power for a day of use.
I've already gotten direct looks at my phone from other people, and some folks can't believe I paid less than $300 for it. Glad I chose the oyster finish vs deep indigo. I do have a case on it, as the glass back is known to crack easily if the phone falls hard on the ground. My B&H order came with a free frosted silicone case, and tempered glass for the screen. Perfect!

Coming from U11 life, this phone seems better.
VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling work out of the box with T-Mobile
Rather loud speaker
I think 2:1 screen is OK
It looks like plain Android
Cam looks OK under low light
Decent reception with B12
It's fast like 6xx processor.
Adjustable screen tint
I am satisfied with the phone for the price.

Cool looking..

I've manageg to buy mine G6 for 129EUR, for that price it's best device I could choose.

Great phone for ~$100 now on eBay that's still getting security updates.
Pros:
+ $100 now on eBay for like-new condition
+ Almost pure stock Android, very little bloat and what is there I actually use (chop twice for flashlight, etc). Very stable.
+ Great band support, unlocked XT1925-6 will work on any US carrier, only missing bands 14, 46, and 71.
+ 3gb RAM is plenty sufficient to keep about three resource-heavy apps active at once.
+ Camera is decent enough and about what you'd expect from a phone in this price range.
+ You can adjust DPI under developer options, which makes content on phone appear larger/smaller so you can fit more on-screen. Very handy.
Cons:
- SD450 is an obvious bottleneck in resource-heavy apps, expect sporadic lag if you're playing PUBGM or running a browser with ten tabs open.
- Battery life could be better, usually end the day around 20% with moderate use. Not bad, but not great either.
If this had a SD600 series and a slightly larger battery it'd easily be 5*. For $100 bucks though it's hard to be upset with it.

Well I found the first problem with this phone. I can't get it to recognize an external microphone to record with the camera. I plugged in an external mic I had (3.5mm with 4 pin plug) and at first thought it was working as I made a couple of videos. Then I noticed in the videos that the sound would go up and down through the video. As I later found out, the volume was going up and down each time I would walk away from the phone while recording being the external mic had a 6 ft cord on it. I then actually tested the external mic this time (like I should have from the beginning) and found out the whole time it was still recording with the onboard mic even with external mic plugged in. The G6 was just ignoring it as a microphone and treating it as a headphone. So now I'm stymied. The onboard mic works well enough but I really wanted to have an external mic if I wanted it. I can hardly find any info on this whole external mic vs onboard mic thing with cellphones. Still like this phone and plan on having it for quite some time but a little bummed about this latest development.

OK, doing a follow up post to the one above concerning the issue with G6 not recognizing external mic when making a video. I had about given up on this and I had been searching like crazy about it. With my lack on finding anyone having similar issues like this, I was starting to think I'm the only one who is trying to use an external mic with this phone to make videos. I thought maybe is was just a jack issue so I then tried same external mic with my voice recorder app. With that app the external mic was working. Now I knew it wasn't the jack. I then installed "Open Camera" from the Google Play Store. There was actually a setting in video settings to select an external mic for recording. I then went ahead and made another video using the external mic and what do you know it worked perfect! One other setting that I'm excited about so far in Open Camera is the video stabilization setting. I don't have the steadiest hands and always had to use a tripod or my videos would come out like being on a boat. Made one with that setting on and it kept the video still as I was shooting it. It made me look like my shake was gone (wish it really was). This Open Camera app just kicks the living **** out of the Moto G6 stock camera app! Sure glad I tried it.

Got one on Motorola promo for $100. Very nice inexpensive backup phone!

upgrade to g7?

I have a really good deal on a g7 that I may go forth with and give my perfect condition g6 to my mom. Has anyone upgraded to the g7. Is it worth it even at only $200 for the g7 will I notice a upgrade?

I think it's a good deal but you probably won't notice much of a difference. I personally wouldn't bother with LG at this point and get something like OnePlus or Pixel.

Notch = yuk.

I wouldn't do that. The G7 has a smaller battery and the notch.
I have been waiting for the G7 to replace my G6, but I couldn't find enough reasons to justify it, so I stayed with my G6. Now I wait for the G8, but it seems that it won't be good enough either. Let's see.

well, it doesnt matter g6 or g7 is way to close generation and didnt see many improvements, one phone you should see is LG V30/V35/V30S, thats a major improvement over G6 and better than G7, not the SoC but you have more features and a better camera, and V30 variants are also cheap those days.

I owed and sold the v30 I like the speed. It didn't like the screen size too wide for me for everyday use. I truly like my g6 but at times it's slow. And the g7 has the better processor along with a better selfie cam. (More for me and my fiance) I never selfie alone. I like the IPS display better to Idk why but I do. The notch can be hidden so that's whatever. Mostly looking at it for a bit more screen size and the boom box sound.

I think it's a good deal but you probably won't notice much of a difference. I personally wouldn't bother with LG at this point and get something like OnePlus or Pixel.

Can't did the single lens camera of the pixel. Yes it's an AMAZING camera but frustrated that they are smart enough to know dual lens is better for the front but not smart enough to carry it over to the back. Also the screen to body ratio in the pixel does not impress I rarely need the stereo speakers so the standard pixel is out and the XL is too large for my liking with one hand usage. Fast and AMAZING as the 6T is the price all at once scares me off. Lol I'm in Verizon and I know the 6T will work with it but at $600 and no certified IP rating I can't do it. I work outside and I'm always at the beach or hiking near water so I don't want to worry about it. I know the makers at ONE+ stated that "it is water resistant as much as any other device nowadays" but they don't pay for the IP rating certification so that they don't have to raise the price of the phone and I get that but still that means they don't have to warranty it from any water or moisture damage either. Along with the lack of Qi charging which I use at work and my night stand at home. I know it's gpt days charge or whatever they call it but still the convenience of QI is just something I'd not want to give up just yet.

Smaller battery with better battery managing processor so it's a trade off I feel. Also the g8 is going to be a let down unless they really make it some thing to stand out. I've seen the leaks and as of right now they did not. I'd go with v40 or v50 IF they'd attach a stylus. They need a flagship with stylus IMO. The stylo 4 is a GREAT mid range phone but I'm on Verizon and wouldn't be able to use it let alone sacrifice camera quality and over all device speed just for a stylus

Not the best of LG

Well... I had the G4 H815 and... the way it feels in the hand, G4 much better.
-The way it sounds, the speaker and headphones, G4 much louder and clear, with the same LG QuadBeat 3 that I love.
-The way it looks, G4 it's "unique" while V30 is just another flat round corner phone. From far you don't recognize if it's an LG, Samsung, or any other.
-The volume keys... to have them on the back was awesome. Once again, the V30 is just like the others, side keys.
-Display... the curved was good against damage, the size of G4 was perfect fit. The V30 just got the extra black bars on the sides, vulnerable to scratches and other damages.
For me it was more a downgrade, the only plus is the new processor, faster on the multitask and a little faster internet connection in 4G-LTE.
-On photos/video I feel that the G4 make a better job (maybe not so good on darker), except for the AI and QLenses (things that I don't use...).
I'm a little worried about the shock resistance. Looks a little fragile to me.
Just hope that LG get back on the phone business again to bring new/distinct designs to the market. I loved them since the G2 until the V10. LG was the Alfa Romeo of the phone market. Stylish and underrated... (very underrated).
BTW, the G4 died after 7 years of hard use, metal work environment and heavy apps running (3 HD IP security cameras surveillance). A least a hundred times GPS always ON and charging during car trips of 15 hours non stop.
If the V30 resists to half of what G4 did, I'll be very happy with it.
