All in all looks like a really solid successor to the G3. What do you guys think?

Honestly my biggest take away is that it still has a 3000mAh battery. That's WHY their giving away a free extra battery with it...cuz you're gonna need it. Otherwise it seems solid enough. I don't think I'll use the money to upgrade. I hope we will get some G4 ported roms around here.

We're still cat-and-mouse on acceptance of the price, but we apprehend the G5 to amount about 2613.95 AED. Indeed, Mobile Fun is already accepting pre-orders at 2613 AED.

Review of LG G5 should be posted in this thread. US Carrier models are a bit far from release atm.

Axon 7 vs. Lg G5

In Austria and Germany the Lg G5 and the Axon 7 cost pretty much the same. Which one is better?

you should wait for price drop. anyway lg g5 got better camera without discussion despite the fact that the same aperture f/1.8 (really i don't understand why Chinese companies can't copy camera from samsung s7 or lg g5). lg got awful design for me. lower battery but removable and guaranteed updates.
i can't help you i just need camera from lg g5, design from oneplus 3, audio chip from axon and speakers from axon or alcatel idol 4

Depends what's more important to you:
LG G5:
- Excellent performer
- Removable battery (great when there is no options for charging or traveling)
- IR blaster one the only current flagship to still offer this. tat I know of
- Very good camera with a second wide angle camera option
- Very good single speaker (I find it easier to hear this single speaker then my Nexus 6P's dual speakers if there is some noise in the environment)
Axon 7:
- Larger 5.5 inch AMOLED display vs the G5's 5.3" IPS LCD
- Superior HiFi audio from headphone jack AND dual front facing speakers
- Said to be Google Daydream VR ready
- Should be a good performer with SD 820 (Not sure if it as good as the G5)
- Looks to have a better build (no paint job).
I like my G5 but am (was?) interested in the Axon 7 mainly due to it better audio (headphone and external speakers) and is Daydream VR support. As time passes on I'm less and less interested in the Azon 7. I'm not sure the audio and VR really justifies getting the Axon 7. As I will likely use those features less then what I enjoy about the G5 (performance, camera).

G5 build quality is sh*t. The metal cut is different from phone to phone and unprecise. I did my research before I bought my new HTC 10.
G5 build quality is the biggest no-go G5 has. This is also what kept me away from buying it.
Other than that, G5 is ok.
I already leave G5 out of my list.
I need a second phone to replace my 1+1. At the moment, I have narrowed the lis down only to 3 phones, namely: ZTE Axon 7 , 1+3 and ASUS Zenfone 3 Deluxe.

Well with the Axon 7 getting a release date for the 27th of July and a better than expected $399.99 price, it's hard to pass up.
Have to see what early reviews say, but it's at killer specs at that price point. My interred had been a bit renewed.

G6 vs S8 for VR, Camera, Sound...

heya
So galaxyS2 finally on it's last legs.. yes, can't believe it lasted that long myself. Now in the market for either S8 (G950FD) or G6 (870DS with quad dac). I'm in the UK so planning to get it from wondaMobile.
Decided to go for the G6 (preferred the flat screen design, dual cameras, screen aspect ratio, don't care about wireless charging) and was just about to fire off the order when I read Google Daydream doesn't support it and that overall LCD is no match for AMOLED for VR!
Can anyone comment on their VR experiences with the G6? Trying to decide whether this will be a deal breaker or not.
And I guess whilst, I'm here:
1) Front camera: From what I've seen, the back camera functionality is kind of a tie vs S8. Yes, G6 has wide angle but S8 has dual pixel for better focus (apparently). Photo quality in general is about even. But not that much has been said about the front cameras. S8 is supposedly superior with 8MP and autofocus. What do you peeps think?
2) Sound: Is the quad dac on G6 hands down outright better than S8?
cheers!

Wait for the LG V30, I think it will have amoled screen with better camera than LG G6 and I supose it will support daydream with the snapdragon 835. The only disavantatge is it will cost more than the lg g6

yeh that is another option as well along with perhaps the pixel 2. apparently the v30 will have f1.6 camera?
But the wait would be a major bummer plus having to wait further for the prices to drop - the G6/S8 are at good price points now
if LCD screens are really that much inferior to AMOLED for VR then i might go with the S8 instead of waiting...

Yes it's confirmed it'll have f/1.6 aperture which is crazy for a 2017 flagship, 16mp main angle camera, 13 mp wide angle , I guess this will make LG V30 camera unbeatable until the 2018 flagships are out. The hype is much higher than any 2017 flagships where as the upcoming Galaxy Note 8 looks boring.

The today price of G6 make it worth buying, and next year to pass to v30.
LCD is not inferior to amoled, actually is quite good. To much hype these days.
If you want Unlockable bootloader with all advantage, do not buy DS, only if DS is a must. No need to think of dac, it is nothing spectacular for a normal user.

so after much indecision ... i think my thought pendulum has now swung back over to the S8 side...
but i guess will at least wait for the V30 and Note 8 to come out in a couple wks time to see

<HELP!> Root/recovery/custom roms for the h870ds ??

No. H870DS G6 cannot be bootloader unlocked and rooted.
But I see you posted identical question over in the V30 thread...
Over in the V30 forum EVERY V30 variant (including H930DS) has been rooted, has TWRP and can run custom ROMs (if you wish). However, I'm still on rooted stock firmware because I'm running Magisk mods like Anxious V30 that gives me what I want, plus stock LG camera, DTS Surround Sound, etc.
Basically the late 2017 V30 is what the early 2017 LG G6 SHOULD have been, instead of LG's idiotic G6 "regionalized" spec scheme where you couldn't get all the touted features in one phone. Plus 2017 V30 has the 2017 Snapdragon 835, not the previous year's 2016 Snapdragon 821 -- which the G6 has.
LG V30/V30+
* 1440P OLED (537 ppi)
* Qi wireless charging (for all variants)
* 3.5mm headset jack
* Quad DAC (for all variants)
* DTS 3D stereo (with root, which all variants have)
* IP68 dust/water resistance
* rear camera OIS on normal lens - plus 120 degree wide angle lens
* superfast fingerprint sensor
* 64GB (V30) or 128GB (V30+) internal storage (for all variants)
* microSD port for additional storage
* bootloader unlock and root (for all variants)
