Hi,
at the moment I'm thinking about switching from LG v10 to Sony Z5 Premium, but I'm not quite sure about it just yet. V10 has few very important features (to me) which I'm not sure Z5 Premium has. I would really appreciate if someone checked the list and told me if it's possible on Z5 Premium. Thank you.
LG v10 Features:
Changing of quick android buttons (downline with back/home/apps buttons)
Quick snap of a photo and possibility to draw on it and edit it immediately after taking the shot
Manual Videa and Photo (if it's not possible, is there a way to use LG v10 camera on Z5)
Is the smaller size of the device a big problem?
Can I control TV/Projectors/Air Condition by using of the phone?
Is this phone lagging when I use it a lot? (LG v10 does lag quite often)
Can I use fingerprint scanner to unlock apps?
[Ill add new ideas, at the moment I can't think of any other]

Hello check this : http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=7536&idPhone2=7606 !!!
I HAVE NO PROBLEM AND NO LAG WITH MY SONY XPERIA Z5 PREMIUM 4K STÉRÉO SOUND WITH 23MPX WATERPROOF !!!
V10 is VERY VERY attractive and promising phone! the only problem is its not SONY!
i find over all LG Stock rom very heavy and spaghetti, so many thing, feature, drains battery! , but v10 struck me because of military design, customizable hot buttons, on second screen. and Huge screen!
but at the end! i bought Xperia Z5 recently over many many choices!
the features you mentioned, its mainly because of other LG devices with your mobile!
z54 don't work that way! also z5 is 3gb ram! , i guess v10 is 4gb
Hey
I'm very into G6 design. Now have G4, and I'm very satisfied with pictures quality, my work depends on pictures (I'm tattooist). Just wanted to ask you guys - is it worth to upgrade to G6? Is this phone have better pictures than G4? Maybe someone have both of this phones, and can take some samples to compare?
Pls share your thoughts, thx
I don't think that anything out right now is worth the upgrade. The phone isn't significantly different in my opinion. No picture from the cell phones will beat a DSLR though, so if quality is what you want, that might be best anyway.
The G6 is hands down better than the G4. I hate to put the G4 down like that. Even the G5 was a upgrade from the G4
The dual camera on the G5 is amazing and I wouldn't expect less with the G6

@ianwardell I know DSLR is the best, but in my way carrying two is problem.
@hyelton - you say G6 have way better pictures than G4?

My G5 has way better pictures than the G4. So yes. Along with the G5 and G6 performance wise blows away the G4.

Go check out Flickr. I don't own the G6. They are loads of samples at flickr and just search LG G6.
G6 uses a really old sensor. It's from September 2015. Also nearly no Nougat for G4. Also V20 has bootloop issues, who tells me, that G6 will not have. Therefore I will change the phone. I compared Huawei P10 with my G4, it makes much better pictures. Therefore I will switch to Mate 9 or S8.
I would rather go for the G5. G5, G6 (better wide camera) is about the same. Main difference is about the design. G5 offers the best value.
if you are going for camera quality, get galaxy s7 or the new s8. Tested 2 days ago and it really is amazing.
Never go for LG anymore, i rather buy an iPhone 7 than another LG smartphone.. The new Samsung S8 or Huawei P10 also is a good alternative..

G6 has IP68, G5 has not.
I will tell you one thing. Whatever it's G5 or G6 or even G8(exclusive leak!) it will *spoiler* bootloop on you I wouldn't consider it as it's basically worse version of Galaxy S8 with better camera, nothing else. LG ****ed everything again as aspect ratio is only used in stock apps while S8 can at least fit 16:9 on 18.5:9 which I find quite useful with such useless screens(who really needs that stupid aspect ratio? I won't buy phone with something else than 16:9)
I compared a G6 in the store to my G4 and the picture quality of the G6 was better especially if you like more of a color boost but the speaker of the G6 wasn't as good and that's my most used feature of my G4 it gets used way very more than the water proofing of my old Xperia Z3 and both LG G6 & Xperia Z3 phones loose sound in the speakers for 24 hours after being submerged in water.

G6 has no notification light, realized it a few days ago. For me it's important, maybe for you too.
it doesn't have IR port also, no remote control support anymore
it's a beautiful phone but functionality wise, you loose things and pay for it

Bootloop issue was fixed with the G5 and V20.

If you really want to compare cameras, do it here http://www.gsmarena.com/piccmp.php3?idType=4&idPhone1=6901&idPhone2=7815&idPhone3=8466. Click on different parts of the photo in the left and you will see that colors are actually better represented on G4, G6 has more detail on some parts of it, G5 is pretty similar to G4. The hardware is not that different on the cameras that are comparable (the ones with AutoFocus, no wide lens). A big difference is done in the postprocessing. G6 has Nougat, G4 has Marshmallow. Compare G5 with G6, both running Nougat. When all 3 will have Nougat, then somebody should do a test with all 3 of them in the same lab environment.
Regarding functionality, you get what you get. Some people complain about a missing IR blaster, but I rarely use it. I personally do not like the all glass design of the G6 and the fact that even in 2017 LG does not have a strong update plan. There were people saying that G5 is free from bootloop, but it is not, there are still some issues, although not as many as G4 had. Nobody can tell you that the G6 will be better supported than the G4 or if it is better. We are all pretty subjective when it comes to our opinions, no matter how hard we try, our opinion is formed from all our experience. I, for one, will not choose a LG tablet/smartphone because of the sporadic software update.
LG software update track record doesn't seemed good enough for me to continue.
Those low range phones and tablet from Samsung seemed to have even more update than what I received.
Android O is almost coming out. But g4 is still waiting for nougat. And has any LG phone been updated to 7.1?

Hi all,
Noob question but I wanted to ask anyways.
I've had a play about with my friends Samsung Note 8 and with its dual cameras on the back it can take a photo at the same time with both sensors.
Is there any way this could be modded or enabled on the G6 to do the same?
Thanks in advance!

Lg will never release camera data to even get 3rd party apps to use the wide camera so I 100% see this never becoming reality sadly. Btw I want the note 8 camera in my g6 as well
Hi everyone!
I am a happy user of LG G6, please dont judge me, writting here for the first time.
The question is, what do you think about camera of LG G6, yeah I know it is good enough, but V30 better.
I wonder if it is possible to interchange them manually, cause I really dont like the form of V30, but the camera of the V30 is really amazing, anyone did that? Or it is impossible because of software issues?
LG G6 camera is not good enough. I can even say it's trash. G4's camera is much better than G6. G6 is using a mid-low range sensor, maybe they can implement some features that makes camera better in Oreo update but I'm not sure.
So the lg v20 and the G6 is going at 155$ here, which one should I get? I really listen to music a lot, like a lot and I take pictures of scenery here and there, but I heard lg v20s rear camera lens cover cracks! I wanted to get the v20 but that problem really concerns me so should I get the v20 over the G6? Does G6 got any problems like this? Will it be better than the V20?
It would be a great help, I am really struggling to decide.
TIA.
Go for the LG G6.
If you are the picky audiophile type, like the one to read through each and every of the 100+ headphones tested by a head-fi.org member https://www.head-fi.org/threads/shootout-114-portable-headphones-reviewed-xiaomi-mi-headphones-added-04-21-2015.433318/,
Then you will want either the
V20 that has the quad-dac
OR
The handful of G6 varients that have the quad-dac.
(Which may limit your reception bands since the us/Canadian models don't have the quad-dac, and the foreign models don't have all the usa bands).
Functionally, the two phones will be essentially the same - cpu, gpu, cameras - but the v20 has the bigger G3/G4 like size screen, whereas the G6 is the G2 but a finger width taller.
If you can't find any G6 models with quad-dac, the v20 is the easy audiophile choice.

G6 no doubt
G6, without a blink of an eye, but try buying the G6 with Quad-DAC variant...
V20 is old, did not receive any more updates, and is ugly...for 155 the G6 is way to go here, the only advantage of V20 is the IR blaster but is a thing some can live without, but overall build, look and feel is G6.
