the only issues this phone has is, "minuses"
1)the small internall memory (that can be changed with external memory partition, with a guide in the forum)
2)no gorila glass
3)no amoled screen (personal)
overall performance in cpu and graphics are equal to galaxy s2 and galaxy nexus
what makes it better choice is, "pluses"
the overall design - build quallity
the bigger screen and the quallity of the screen
the big battery
price, could be the best value for the money device

P769 has gorilla glass only and has smaller screen 4.5 inch. i also corrected what i wanted to mean, i am a fun of amoled displays and i think that its a miss on the phone
p769 has gorilla glass 2 and the screen is fine without amoled. 10 days without a screen protector the glass is amazing, not a scratch. I never had a chance to experience N4 gorilla glass because i used the factory plastic protector from day one but this is very smooth. Curious to hear if anybody managed to scratch or crack L9.

Hehehe i did scratched mine. But this this scratch is almost invisible, i dropped phone on the ground. Comparing to the other phones i have the screen is highly scracht resistant, and the one i have made is so little that i can not see it even if i want, i have to search it.
But still it is possible to scrach it
Btw amoled screens sucks, especiali pentile amoled screens.

The only way to find out is to ask LG directly. I don't know what glass it is but its very smooth and durable. This is my only phone i went almost two weeks without protector while i waited for it to arrive from china. Not a scratch. No FM radio. Thanks a lot LG/Tmob

Thanks for your quick reply.
Wow everywhere I read it had FM even on Tmob authorized vendor sites and I think the Tmob site it self. Just saw today it says no in a different area of the site. That is total BS to include it on some phones and not others. Actually the various differences in features on the same model phone I find ridiculous, however a 4.5 as opposed to a 4.7 screen is a little less offensive than some phones having FM radios and others not. As you said thanks a lot LG/Tmob. I love this phone but this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth for where I will purchase and what I will purchase in the future.
PS Plus it ships with the 10g software so no root or rollback in order to root...for now.

4.5 instead of 4.7 is also offensive. I even bought two was so excited. Thought this phone had a future like optimus one or samsung exhibit. Its more powerful and everything works. Thought its a good cheaper alternative to N4 or the new Experias. 4.5 is comfortable in the hand and in holster. 4.7 is better for everything else. Now i want 5". I don't know what to expect anymore. More fw updates, no easy way to root 769 10g. I don't know... I'm just glad it works and like the built quality.
I'm used to not having fm radio, usb/otg, other things crippled or disabled, etc

Yeah I agree the difference in screen size is offensive just less offensive than leaving out a key feature like FM radio all together. If I had known that I might have chosen a different phone all together. That said now that I have mine I am glad I choose the phone I did but wish I had bought the international version off Ebay. Not fair LG/Tmob.
Really??

So, I'm guessing there's not one person here who hasn't seen someone using an iPhone with a shattered screen - I reckon you see at least one a week...
My understanding was because the capacitive screens used glass, instead of some kind of plastic on the ole resistive type screens...
So, the x10 has a glass screen, yeah? and so do a lot of devices that are coming out with capacitive screens
So why is it I've never seen a cracked x10 (or heard of one on this forum), or even anything other than a cracked iPhone...?
Are iPhone users just clumsy, or is it bad design...?
Not flaming the iPhone or its users, but why is it the only phone prone to cracking (as far as I can see)
thats a reasonable question. ive dropped my x10 several times now (clumsy i know) but no damage to report yet. i do have a few scratches in the touchscreen protective film from when the cat decided to swipe at the phone when it rang on the coffee table, but thats another story
same.. i've dropped it many times from above the waist level and it's got no scratch/no crack... nada...(i mean the screen)
I remember at least two threads about shattered or cracked x10 displays (ok, over one of them rolled a bus, so don't let us count that one...). It's not a specific problem of the iphone, it's a problem all big displays have to face.
Sorry for not searching the other threads, but it's 2am here and i'm too lazy right now...

Yeah, seems there were at least 2 others - one got hit by a cricket ball, and another was cracked when the owner was trying to change their cover from black to white...
All of which are more like freak accidents, than common place.
I've seen maybe two shattered iPhones ever, and I see a lot of them on the trains here.
What's the point of this thread? To talk **** about the iPhone...? Like, the iPhone is the highest selling smartphone in the world... which means with their numbers, problems are going to seem bigger than they are, but they're still only a proportional percentage of the total. I would predict a similar percentage of shattered (by dropping) X10 screens as the iPhone.

What's the point of your post? To talk **** about the thread...?
But since it wasn't clear at the start, I'm just curious (I think that's what forums are also for, but maybe they're just to whine about 1.6 and 2.1 )
You are right though, it's probably got a lot to do with the percentage of iPhones, but less than a third of the phones out there are iPhones, so I'd expect there to be more other cracked phones (not just x10's) - you know, 1 iPhone for 2 other phones (maybe a Desire, perhaps a Driod, or god forbid, maybe even a Galaxy S )
but no, I've only seen iPhones, and quite a lot... I recall at least 5
I can't say I see any smartphones outside of the X10 or iPhone on any sort of regular basis here in Japan, but, I've never seen a smashed X10 and only two iPhones.
I don't think any phone is more "prone" to accidents, but it stands to reason that the more mainstream your product becomes, the more irresponsible your customer base will be with your product. Like, for the most part, geeks who take care of their phones will own an X10, but a bunch of kids or people who just don't care.
ive just been in london and while on the underground ive seen 6 or 8 people using cracked screen iphunes, and i have also dropped my x10 afew times and no damage on her what so ever!

That's a good point... I guess the most 'kids' seem to have iPhones, and out of everyone I've seen with a cracked phone, they certainly appear to be the type of person who wouldn't care too much...
Three cheers for us geeks with x10's !!!
And also, I reckon we're all so careful with our x10's cos we're patiently waiting for 2.1, and who wants to finally get 2.1 on a broken phone...??
ive seen iphones crack from just getting placed on a table. Ive seen pretty bad cracks from iphones being dropped.
Ive dropped the x10 a few times and ive had some pretty heavy stuff land squarely on the screen and its held up. in terms of overall build quality its on par with my blackberrys for sure
the rubberised backing of the x10 makes it harder to slip out of the hands.
I haven't seen or heard many desires with cracked screens either, but quite a few Samsung galaxy s with craved screens.
iPhone's are slippery with their glossy finish and the iPhone 4 is like a wet fish its so slippery.
I cracked mine
I cracked My screen playing golf it fell from about 1 metre and smashed the touch screen but still worked replaced it now for £90 though!
Ive seen one before. It was done on purpose with the end of a bayonet. But it was still smashed (needed to claim on the insurance because it would not charge) smashed a iPhone screen just by dropping it

Only the black one is rubberized. The white one is quite glossy.
Then again, I use covers on my phone, so my phones are always rubbered up!
Im the most unlucky owner
First I feel down some stairs with the phone in my back pocket = LCD display cracked
4 weeks later lost the phone out of a pocket while biking dropped on asphalt and smashed the corner of the fron/touch screen :-(
replaced both so I now know how to open a x10 and by the way got a very good offer on the front via ebay , original I think it was only 50 eur

I have seen many damaged Iphones. My boss actually cracked his screen getting it out of his pocket, and that was the second screen he broke.
He states that it is like the screen is already flexed and if he applied even a small amount of extra flex it would crack.

This is actually quite true. My friend had an iphone and he put it under his pillow. He rolled over it in his sleep to find the screen is shattered

Here's a story for you that someone posted on another forum I use...
I went round to my mates earlier and as I got out of my car one of his naughbours was trying to start his motorbike so I offered to give him a push start.
As I was running along I felt something hit my knee, as I looked down I saw my X10 flying to the ground and right in front of the back wheel. Just at the time he released the clutch and the back wheel locked and well Im sure you can guess what happened.

Hello everybody,
I am considering purchasing an S3 but i have a quite big question for witch i could not find an accurate answer on this forum. Is it true that the display of the I9300 is predisposed to cracks due to it's slightly curved shape? I have a friend that has a GSM service and he told me that most of the S3s that came to him for a repair had that kind of problem and he also said that i shouldn't buy this kind of phone.
Unfortunately I cannot afford the new S4 and the S3 felt pretty good in my hand when I had the chance to test is a bit. In general i take good care of my phones, but I am wondering, are there any chances of breaking the screen alt the slightest shock that the phone would receive?
I dropped mine a fair few times (on concrete) and its never broke, I have a flip front case on it and its still like new (I've had it for about 6 months now)

Thank you for your fast response. So your opinion is that I should buy one, right?
Haha its not up to me mate, I'm just saying the S3 is no more breakable then any other phone... I definitely don't regret buying my S3. But its still up to you.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Another thing I want to ask. How is the GPS on the S3? I travel quite a lot and I use the GPS every time, but mine i9001 is simply rubbish as it takes about 7-8 minutes until it gets a lock, the signal is mostly weak and the error is somewhere between 60 and 100 meters and it gets disconnected from time to time. I tried custom ROMS, different GPS tweaks and apps that were supposed to make the GPS on my phone work properly but it was all in vane.
Did you had the chance to test the GPS on your phone? How does it behave?

If you're worried about it's toughness just get a solid case, plenty to chose from. I got a black UAG and it's an excelent compromise between tough, weight and style. That said, i don't think it was made for being able to stand much. Never dropped mine, even with the case but i don't think it would take the beating well.
About the gps it's realy good. Also had an i9000 and i definitly know where you're coming from but it's quite different with the S3. Locks really fast. As always, the very first time takes a while. From that point on it's golden. Few seconds and it's ready. Even faster than my proper ndrive gps device. Also doesn't break lock which was my real problem with the i9000. With slimrom, at this very moment, from inside a cafe near the window, mesured with GPS Test, i'm picking 9 / 10 sattelites with an accuracy of 10 - 12 meters.

ive got to agree I've dropped my s3 twice without its case on and all I have is a tiny scratch on the plastic back cover.
and i use gps all the time while out bike riding (often in no cell signal areas) and it is really fast at connecting and the only time it's ever disconnected was a trip to a toilet with a roof overhead.

As I mentioned in my first post in general I take good care of my phones. On my i9001 I have a Momax case like this http://forum.softpedia.com/uploads2/1c/anunturi_image_153850.jpg and I am very pleased with it as it protected my phone very well when I dropped it. Maybe I can find one for the S3 too.
Thank you all for your responses and advices. I hope that next week I'll be the owner of a new Samsung Galaxy S3. :fingers-crossed:
Chuck Norris has a S3 Thats how tough it is! - Seriously, i dropped a pint glass on mine! I put it on the worktop, went to get a glass = slipped glass from cupboard on to S3! the glass broke! S3 just laughed it off, not a scratch! ( I realise i was very lucky)

Well, try to get the i9305 (the 4G one). The price difference shouldn't be significant, it's the same as the S3 except with 2Gb of ram (the s3 only has 1Gb). Makes a world of difference, trust me.

It's tough. But then again, if you take good enough care of your device, they're all tough.I'd say give it a try. Most carriers have an option, where you can try a new device for two weeks, and if you don't like it, you can send it back and get a new one. I'd do that. Personally, I've never had any mechanical problems with any of my Samsungs (M7600, Omnia 7, Galaxy S II, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S III) and I'm pretty happy much with them.
Depends on the luck of the bounce here is a two foot drop onto grass

2 feet on to grass? Maybe you launched it from two feet onto grass. I'm gonna call BS. Had to be a stone or something in the grass. I've dropped mine from about 5'8" onto cobble stone like path way and all it got was a couple little spots where the pain chipped and plastic kinda "dented" or chipped. No scratches. Its pretty durable. Dropped mine about 6 times and I've had it since about a week after it came out. Not a screen crack or break. I don't use a case.

You are wright. The i9305 is only 30 euros more expensive than the original i9300. I'll wait a little more and save the extra 30 euros and I'll definitely get the i9305. Thanks for the tip.
I own an gs3 but they say that its not that well made.i mean i ve seen some drop tests and it didnt go very well compared to other phones.However it is the best buy i ve made so far ,so it is up to you.

I work in an environment where I have had the opportunity to talk with a representative from Gorilla Glass. Gorilla Glass is still glass. It is certainly more resistance to breakage and scratches than non GG, but tap it right at the wrong frequency, and it'll crack real well. My wife's phone was dropped by our 7 year old the 2nd day she had it. Hairline crack in two places.
I'm going to go slightly OT, but it's still relevant. IF you break your glass, the part that breaks is a cheap $10 part to replace. Only, replacing ONLY the glass is all but impossible. Don't ask me how I know. :angel: You're best off buying the full frame with the LCD, digitizer, and front glass pre installed. Then, just a gentle hand can replace the glass in about 10 minutes. I just bought such an assembly today for about $170 on eBay.
But the general sentiment here still holds true - unless you're buying a Rugby, the general toughness of the S3 is going to be generally the same as any other similar sized device.

Wow. Seriously? Well.. that sucks ***k..
I'm on a contract with the German Telekom (T-Mobile (Before any Americans start bloating about how cr*p they are in America: They're the best Provider, here in Europe!)) and I've always had those chances. Maybe you should move
Quite frankly I am disappointed but relieved. There's nothing overwhelming about it, so our g2 won't be outdated just yet.
It uses a higher binned snapdragon 800 (which they call snapdragon 801), it is water resistant and dust resistant (ip68), has fingerprint reader and heart rate monitor. Battery is 2600mah, 1080p screen and 2gb ram. Something is telling me that there is a more premium version coming out - maybe the f line.
I could never be happier with my LG-D802.

its 2800mAh, which still is a big disappointment leading that they increased the screen size to 5.1inches
they do claim that you can get over 10hours of web browsing on LTE? idk if numbers are true but so far I love the fact everyones implementing some sort of elemental protections to keep our devices water or dust resistant at least, as far as i know i think there will be two versions of the S5 with one being a 2K and 1080 versions, I could be wrong though as I didnt watch the first half of the unveiling
youre right in some ways that G2 doesnt feel ALL outdated as of yet.
lets hope G3 will advance more than the S5 in terms of new "technology"
what stole the show for me at MWC is the Sony Z2 with its 5.2inch Live Color LED display, 3200mah battery, Snap 801 and fresh water proof
that shouldve gotten more hype
Having owned the S3, S4, and the Note 2, I am thoroughly unimpressed. I like the Sony Z2 way more than the S5.
G2 bezel is a win.

okay i know that the G2 has super slim bezels but now that you brought it up in a comparison like this i never knew how well minimized it is compared to the Samsung.
Props to LG for making the G2 reasonably futureproof. Similar to the OP, i was relieved as well because I'm stuck with this phone until 2016.

Yes, this exactly. I never realized how awesome G2's bezels are. Also, need not worry, the G2 is nicely future-proofed. It's already almost 5 months old? And it's just as good as the ones coming out now.
If anything, I wish the Sony Z2 got the limelight. The specs look awesome. That paired with the fact that Sony has always been dev friendly, it's certainly worth a look.
Added the fact that for serial ROM flashers all Samsung devices include warranty busting KNOX protection, even more reason to stick with your LG G2
If anything it makes me more excited to see what LG has in store for the G3.

OH MY GOD! i knew that our G2 has some impressive bezels, but the samsung flagship positively sucks compared to the G2!!! Wow
it looks like some old mid tier samsung device, not at all a flagship that has released almost 5 months after the G2!!!
I am loving my G2!! Woot!
Wow I'm totally shocked in what Samsung presented there today. There's nothing in the world which would make me buy this ugly phone. A weak battery as always on top. What did samsung think in building a more ugly and unattractive phone then the S4

some leakers are saying that it won't cost as much as the usual newly released flagship. Basically made a flagship look like a typical midrange android device imo.
honestly, it looks exactly like the galaxy S2 with a larger screen
My S2 has broken 3 months ago and it couldn't be repaired so I had to buy a phone in December. I was hesitated becuse of S5, but now I am extremely glad that I bought LG G2. I am suprised that Samsung released such an average flagship model. There isn't much innovation although they release it 6 months later.
Yea the S5 is months behind with very little incentive. The screen isn't as bright and is bigger overall for having a slightly smaller display. However the hardware buttons will give the S5 a larger play area since it won't have a navbar.
For me, I'm happy I didn't wait and jumped on the G2 when I did. The G2 has a bigger battery and screen but in a smaller form factor. I don't want (ever) a fingerprint reader with a device that has carrierIQ crap installed. Stock TapOn feature of the G2 is awesome too.
The if the S5 had a 64-bit processor, it might have been leading the pack of next Gen, but now its at the back of this Gen. Its a good competitor to the G2 but nothing special over it.
Sent from my VS980 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
64 bit would have made no difference at all.
I agree, the S5 looks a bit weak for a brand new device that has to survive a year. Some of the camera features look nice and some of the other features are good, but the hardware is VERY disappointing. The g2 looks like a much better device, and a few extra features here and there would keep it ahead.
Lets see what KK really brings us. We still dont know really, AT&T devices are crippled by design and the Korean unit is unlike all the others.
From the moment I saw the LG G2, I knew that LG spared no effort on that phone and it will be current for a long time. Latest chipset, a 5.2" screen, 3000mAh battery and optical image stabilization while being and still remaining smaller than all the other flagships with its incredibly thin bezels. And I couldn't use a phone without the Knock On feature anymore. I don't need another phone for at least 1 year or even more.
Gs5 sucks, Samsung make a great mistake today
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I agree that it is not the most attractive phone, but I actually see what Samsung is doing here. For the average person and not tech nerds like ourselves, the top of the line crazy specs do not sell phones. Simplicity with a few distinguishable marketable features sell phones. I love the screen to bezel ration on my LG G2 but alot of the public can overlook that for the finger scanning feature which is the reason for the larger bezel. To add features like 3 gigs of ram or 2k display is just not necessary to the average customers. The screen looks great on the GS5, they can market the finger scanning, and that back is very nice and one thing I do wish the G2 has. I have been saying since the Nexus 7 2012 that phones should come with that back, If it feels anything like that then kudos to Samsung. My point is if they can add those features, market it like crazy the way samsung does, and keep the price point lower then new flagships traditionally are, then Samsung will definitely have a winner. Even if our G2 is still on par with its 6 months since its release. That being said.. I am staying with my G2
It... is... HORRIBLE!!!!! mother of god... Its the worst phone i've seen in years... please, dont buy this piece of ****.
Looking forward to the G3 now...

Hi all
suppose that you didn't buy Galaxy Alpha yet ... would you buy it now ???
please explain why for both answers yes/no ....
don't tell me that the battery is too small because I don't care about this thing at all
------------
I can't see enough support for this phone on the internet especially on xda i love rooting & changing my system & play with my phone :3
please give some attention to my question .......
thanks
Yes.
The reasons :
+Beautiful design and nice feel
+Excellent 8core processor
+No problems in functionality ( no lags, freezes, restarts, shutdowns)
+I like super amoled screens, the blacks are amazing.
+Good camera in day light (not good in low light conditions though)
+I like powerful compact phones.
+ Priced at 300€ in my country ( one of the most top selling smartphones when the priced dropped) , which makes it the top value for money compact smartphone.
As for your needs , there is a problem and you already know it . The support from devs is little so you will not be able to "play" with custom roms.
No
Now that the S6 is out I would probably have gotten that.
The small battery may be a non-issue for you but for most people, it is a real annoyance. So I would chalk up the battery life to be the top reason I would not get this phone if I hadn't.
yes ... this phone is better than eny other phones.....even better than s6 becuse the s6 has a 2k screen and in the games is not that good...alpha is the best i install cm 12.1 that was awesome and in cm 12.1 battry life was verry good much better than ferench android 5.0 i get 54000 antutu and 1.50 free ram but still cm in the nightly ...im going to keep it for next 4 yers .. i love it
maybe. I would go for the s6 if I had the money
is there cyanogenmod support for galaxy alpha !! it is unofficial as i see on the internet :\ ..
what about the performance of the memory (RAM) & the white colour problem with the camera like these photos & the focus speed of the camera??

this is really the best phone of 2014 in my opinion!
compact and powerfull and no issues
as a minus, only battery but you dont care about
not to forget a big minus for me is that damn gorilla glass 4 display - after 2 weeks of use i saw 3 superficial scratches and i dont know how they appeared.
i use my phone with the ringke fusion case and alone in my pocket...
for me this is a dillema -how the hell gorilla glass 4 get scratched knowing that no heavy materials pocked the phone...
youtube is full of videos with gorilla glass 4 being resistant to scissors, cutter, keys, etc
my old lg g2 was used with keys in my pocket and display is still untouched, not even a microscratch!
and of course that will not be changed on guarantee, i have talked to customer service of the shop.
i should talk with gorillas peoduction service, but i have no hopes.
thanks bro.
anyone would talk about the camera or the memory ?? :'(
camera wasent that good it bad verry bad ....memory was the best 1.530 mb free ram
I buy it now cause it is $250 unlock n new. It is a nice phone for this price. It has metallic edges and removable battery. I use this tiny phone when I go jogging instead of the bigger phone which I also have.
Yes. But only the octacore version. Att one not only dies in 3-4 hours. It lags real bad. If ur in america get the 850m. Best fone I've had. And I've had em all. I do wish there was more development. Tho. But the one Rom we got is great tho
I just got my alpha 2 days ago. Mines the att version, the 850m was $100 more, but for the price it was at its a very good phone, I think the camera is very good, the battery life is ok, but you can turn on power save mode if you're going to be away from a charger, I wish Samsung wouldn't have discontinued the alpha line. It's a very good phone, my favorite part is the metal build and the display, the display is very good even at 720p

Do you use your 850M with ATT? If so, do you have trouble connecting to LTE?
I've just bought my brand new Galaxy Alpha (850F), 330€ (with 23% vat).
It came with Lollipop installed (v5.0.2).
I found it the best choice for this prize target considering the specs and screen size (4,7'' was the limit).
My last device was the heroic Galaxy S - still perfectly working, but 5 years of difference is quite something...

Camera is very good but not excellent or great.
Camera is like a Galaxy S5 if S5 is in 12 megapixel mode.
Because Alpha IS the S5 Sensor restricted to 12 megapixels in Firmware. Samsung intentionally held back the Camera to be BELOW quality of S5 ¿!
Note 4 , S6, LG G4 Cameras are a major step up from Alpha but in good light you can get very good results.
If you get a Tempered Glass Screen Protector Alpha is one of the most durable Phones extremely rigid.
I had the Alpha charging on someones Patio and when sliding door was opened the USB Cable metal end into Phone got bent to perfect 90 degree angle ( ouch) with NO damage to Alpha USB Port or Frame etc. Case was a Casemate Naked Tough but it was the metal frame that absorbed the force.
USB Cords still fit snugly.
That is a rugged metal frame !
The Exynos Alphas have the Wolfson Audio Chip which gives a great speakerphone almost as loud as S6 but less distortion so you can hear an Internet Broadcast clearly 20 or 30 feet away in quiet room or quiet Patio etc on Tune In or Iheart and hear what they are saying.
Spare battery for heavy users 3 to 4.5 hours SOT at low brightness per battery charge on one battery.
Very good loud call quality- again Speaker is as loud and full as HTC One Mini (not the big HTC) and on a way different level than S4 S5 etc.
The AT&T Version does not have this
Speaker volume or fullness- AT&T has decent but tinny speaker.
Alpha is very good at $250 to $350
IF you like a smaller rugged phone.
IF you like very high res screens obviously you won't like 720p but I like it.
Agree to get Exynos version faster more efficient CPU and much better Audio.
As discontinued less popular phone not much Development.
Where ever i read three are several people going through all sorts of issues with G5. Iam currently waiting for mine but all these QC issues are really starting to make me worried.
Now i am not sure wether to go ahead or cancel my pre order.
Mine is flawless. Looks perfect, no headphone issues, wifi calling works. I guess I haven't looked at screen bleed but don't really care about that. Haven't noticed any screen bloom.

True, I dont see people complaining about iphone quality that much.
But all things aside, I am hoping that UK dont get that many defective units since we have stricter QC measure in place.
Like most things, people dont bother to write unless they have a complaint. So im sure for every complaint you hear there are a hundred happy people. I have had mine since release day and the only thing i am dissapointed in is the volume buttons being on the side(which i all ready knew).

Glad to hear u are happy with your G5.
As for the volume control I am glad that they decided to put it on the side, since its easier for me to skip tracks easily while phone is in my pocket but with my G3 i have to really search for it and most of the times i would just hit the power button or camera lens
Camera lens scratched already.
I've had the phone since April 1st and i've been very happy with, however i just noticed that my Camera's glass cover in the back is already scratched. I have a case on the phone and I've been very careful with the phone. I'm very disappointed and annoyed that this got scratched up so easily! has anyone else noticed this? just seems like a very cheap material in the back. Is there any protector i can buy or will it distort the image?

That sucks. I'm pretty certain I saw a case on Amazon that covers the camera as well. Yes, it must distort the photo a LITTLE but hopefully not much. Maybe it was the Lifeproof case?

Looks like you dont have a case on your phone, and since G5 has a camera bump it is bound to get scratched when left on a hard surface.

Keep your order. It'll be worth it for you trust me. Got mine from ee today. Absolutely amazing phone and in perfect condition with amazing build quality.
I've been very happy with the build quality of mine (had it since Wednesday), moving from a Nexus 5X the quality is in such a higher league in my opinion. So I am very happy. If build quality is your only concern I wouldn't worry, like others have said for every one complaint there will of been many more who have been fine! The phone (at least in the UK anyway) comes with a 2 year warranty (one year for the battery) so that has to go some way in showing that LG believe tha5 the build quality of the phone will last at least that amount of time. I've only got one problem so far which is that the camera, on both the normal and wide angle (although more noticeable on the wide angle) seems to distort massively, almost as though you are shooting through a plastic protective cover. Although I've picked at the camera it doesn't appear one was on it out of the box and I don't want to try too much harder in case it isn't and it is just a terrible software bug that it causing it! The camera in the 5X has been amazing in low light and this feels a bit of a deal breaker for me personally (the camera is the main feature even above battery). Has anyone else had to remove some a plastic cover from the camera after taking it out the box?

M8 i would just take it back and replace it, no point in taking a chance.
My G5 is flawless and looks amazing.
Got mine 4-1-16 and have had zero issues. No light bleed no calling or headphone jax issues no gaps and some say that the side ring or whatever around the phone is like sharp or something mine is not. Some people are saying the battery life sucks but mine is great i get 5 to 5.5 hours screen on time. Also if the screen is off over 8 hours like if i dont charge at night i get maybe 5 to 8% drop at most.
My suggestion is when you get your phone if you see anything wrong like sharp edges gaps light bleed go and exchange for a new one. I think I heard Lg has multiple plants manufacturing the phone and one of them must be effing up big time. I got mine at best buy so I dunno if that makes a difference
I've heard more complaints with the build quality of this phone than with any other in recent memory.
Yes, some may be nitpicky, but for a damn near $700 device, we're allowed to be picky.
I'm not saying it's a bad device, I'm just going by what I've been researching/seen instore. It sounds like it performs like a Champ but you may have to go through a few to get a solid built one.
