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.

Should I buy the G4 Plus now or wait until the G5 Plus is released ?

Hi, I currently have a Moto G (2014) and I want to change my phone.
I don't know if I should wait for the moto G5 (I don't know the release date) or buy the G4 now.
I heard that it will be not much better than the G4 anyway ?
Also another question , how's the x265(1080p) decoding on Moto G4 ? Most of my video files are encoded in x265..

G5 images was fake... Go for g4 plus

Dunno

I havent had any problems with G4+. I dont play many games and I dont record long videos so I havent had any heat issues. I bought 64gb for $250 on Swappa.
I unlocked bootloader, Seamless root without any hiccups. Great device for me.
I dont think the Moto G series will get much better than the current Moto G4+ for a year or two.
PS I also have Moto G3 2015 as my oops phone. There is an advantage with Moto G4+.

Unless I'm mistaken it's the same hardware just with a fingerprint sensor and more storage options. I have the regular G4 and like it and wouldn't use the fingerprint anyways. If you want more storage it's probably cheaper to get like a 32-64gb as card for cheaper than the price difference of buying the other phone model. Just my opinion.

Go for Moto G4 plus now !
Go for G4+ as the G5 news cannot be relied upon. Also, your G(2014) is way too old, if you wanna change your phone, G4+ would be best so far in that price range. Waiting for G5 at this stage will make you halt for atleast a year-and-half from now, and would not contain much of the "GREATER" changes. As for codec support, the device (G4+) works perfectly fine with the x265(1080p) decoding. In fact it works brilliant with all codecs.

Wait for REDMI 4 PRIME ( Snapdragon 625, 4000mAh battery,3GB RAm,32 gb internal, fingerprint scanner), all under 15K!!!!!
Its rumoured to launch in India in Jan/Feb.
I would hold my horses and wait for its launch,Snapdragon 617 is one of the worst performing Soc ever(I didn't forgot Snapdragon 810 v2.1)
PS: I have nothing against g4 plus except that mediocre processor used by Moto to save cost!! I recommended my sister to buy moto g4 plus, it's an excellent camera phone under 15K,if not the best budget phone.

The phone throttles very soon and is not good basic functionality like recording FHD videos as the frame drops starts to occur and is even present in the saved video file. Also not good for gaming more than 30min!!!!!!

It was fixed some months ago. No overheating issues viewing VR 360º videos or playing Asphalt 8 in latest MM or Nougat.

Both devices come with 2 cameras and a single battery in the box.
Camera wise they are both really good cameras but I'd go LG because the software is way better and you get the added benefit from the support of GCam mods and other Snapdragon device ports. FFC on the P10 is better than the G6 though. Display is better on the G6 with qHD+ Vs FHD on the P10. Kirin 960 is a newer processor than the SD821 however the difference in benchmark speed is not phenomenal. P10 will get project treble support and that will probably be a nice thing to have aosp/custom ROMs ported over to the device because EMUI is not everyone's cup of tea. G6 has had some issues with software updates as you've probably read in the forum's. All in all both are really good devices and depending on the price either one is not really a bad choice.

the lg 40 USD more expensive

After using the G6 for 3 months or so and coming from a Nexus 6P - I would recommend the P10. Unless you want IP68:

LG are disappointing with their update rollout for a flagship, and if you are looking at a DS module, no boot loader unlock which is also a disappointment.
I'm also now experiencing some bluetooth audio quality issues when paired with 2 other BT devices in my car - I have tested this on two other phones (the 6P and my old Sony Xperia) and neither of them have the same behaviour when paired with the same devices.
This phone is starting to disappoint me.

I don't have the P10, but I had the Honor 8 and I swore to never use a EMUI phone again. It had so much bugs and quirks. Especially with the feature to make apps sleep and even after you whitelist them and tweak settings, sometimes the notification is not assured to appear every single time. Last time I used EMUI, if you lock your phone with Android Device Manager's lost phone feature, you can completely bypass the lock screen with ease.
I do know the Kirin processor is really fast, if you are looking for outright performance, it's probably better to go with the P10, especially with 1080p screen which will run smoother.
In term of camera, I like the fact that the LG have Snapdradon so it can use Google Camera HDR+ mode.
Personally, I would take the G6 mainly for the larger display. G6 also have USB 3.1, water resistant, and wireless charging.

Go for the Huawei P10 https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_p10-8514.php
They are outstanding devices!

G6 all the way. Two things i don't like about Huawei, one is EMUI and second they don't use any type of oleophobic coating, not even on flagship devices. Glass (which is not even Gorilla glass) gets so fingerprinty it's unbearable.

Got lg g6.
I already had an Honor 8.
I prefer the speed of honor. Lg g6 is nice but not so... And i think camera is normal. Not crazy.
So i recommand you P10.
But i must recommand Oneplus 5T, and maybe if you can wait, take the next model, Oneplus 6 !

Get the LG. Huawei has support that is worse than LG.
LG is also offering a two year warranty.

I had same dilemma. Screen-cpu-battery should be on p10 side. I sad should be cause on net i saw different scenarios about battery.
I took lg g6 even it was 50 usd more expensive mainly because i had lg devices before and i couldn't stand emui.
Meanwhile i "discovered" wide angle camera and great build quality (dropped this one 10+ times). Though i got model with inferior camera i can say lg g6 i rock solid device and if u can't choose among others like one plus or shaomi go for lg.

My girlfriend has the P10 and I get G6. I compare both phones, testing many things and I prefer the G6: better software, the phone looks better and you haver a better screen. Maybe some colors in P10 looks better, but in general, you must get the G6.

AT&T custom rom?

Hey, I accidentally bought the AT&T version of the lg g6 from ebay. All I want to do is install a custom rom. Is this possible on the bootloader locked version?

Of course not. You should probably have bought the 2017 V30, if you wanted bootloader unlock, TWRP, root, custom ROMs... All LG V30 have bootloader unlock, root, custom ROMs.
You can also Frankenstein almost any North American V30 to another: AT&T H931 to carrier unlocked "open market" US998, Sprint LS998 to Canada H931, 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)
