Hey everyone !
I'm from the LG OPTIMUS 4X HD forum and I used to like my phone, but since the last few months it's performance has been starting to decay and I think it's time for a replacement
So since the price of the LG G2 decayed a lot since the last few months, I was wondering about buying it - but first wanted to hear about some actual impartial feedback on the phone. Can you guys help me out? Some pros and cons would do !
There's a ton of these threads. You could easily search one up and read it
This one should sum ying's up pretty good

Hi everyone. I posted earlier in this forum about getting a Nexus 4 and everyone said I should and I was going to order it but then I changed my mind. I don't understand my mentality on this and I hate that I have it but I always want the latest and greatest. I mean it is kind of everyone's mentality but I'm just saying. So I stumbled upon the Oppo Find 5 and I really liked it and for the price it was great for an unlocked handset with those hardware specs. I just feel that there is going to be another flagship phone from Oppo in the coming months considering they did great with the Find 5. Does anybody know about any rumors of a new handset from Oppo? I am also considering getting the Note 3 when it comes out unlocked so if anybody has any rumors on that then please let me know. Also I might even get the next nexus if it compares to the high end smartphones out there and if it comes at a reasonable price unlocked. Thank You.
Check this out; Oppo Find 7.

Oh wow I did not hear about this haha Thanks man. I also thanked your profile. Now I am very excited about this phone lol. I am going to get a phone in November because I am 15 years old and sadly I do not have a steady income haha but I will soon make enough money to buy this phone once it comes out. Thank You. Also do you have any details about any other phones or links to articles? Hopefully this will cost in the same price range as the Oppo Find 7. I would really prefer a Nexus handheld because it is very easy to root and install ROMS and other hacks and it is supported heavily by the community. But looking at this phone and the Oppo Find 5 I will have to change my mind. Do you think that once this phone comes out, the XDA Developers forum will support this handheld as in alot of people will be there to help with problems with rooting and do you think that this phone will have plenty of ROMS available for it because personally I do not like their custom UI that they have set and I would rather have Cyangemod or XenonHD or AOKP ROM on it. And to the other comment, I am in no hurry of needing another smartphone right now and Note 2 just seems old to me.
No I don't have any other links to other smartphones. I just Googled the Oppo Find 7 because I remembered reading something about it a few days ago.
Side note: I just bought a 16GB Nexus 4 (used on Swappa) and am very happy with it. I was considering buying the iOcean x7, but decided on the Nexus 4 because of the developer support. If custom ROM's, themeing and things like that are important to you, I highly suggest the Nexus 4.

I mean I would be alright with the Nexus 4 but I feel as if it is too close to the time of a new nexus being released and I don't want to buy a Nexus 4 right now and figure that there will be a better one in the coming months whihc is going to happen. Thank you for your support though. I am kind of into the custom ROMS and stuff but not that heavily. I am getting into Android programming though but that has nothing to do with the device. And also I had one more question. If I buy a locked phone off of Amazon, lets say the Galaxy S4, and I get it for $200, do I have to fill out my contract details on Amazon or is that done through activation of the phone?
Hi I am currently having a Samsung Galaxy S3 Phone which is quite good for my use. Still its been a year now with it, so thought of changing it to something else. Saw a Moto X on Swappa which looks good for my budget. What do you guys think about moving from S3 to Moto X? Is it worth it ?
i think its very worth it. The Moto X is a wonderful device and i would happily upgrade to one no problems. the things i find attractive is the stock android look and feel without BS Touchwiz or Sense overalls. Not to mention ActiveDisplay which is handy if you are mostly working of a desk ( i do) SInce i dont have the device (i too own a GS3) i cant really tell you much from a hands-on point-of-view. But in my opinion, the Moto X is among the best device available now.
Thank you Guys for the reply ! Unfortuantely that guy sold the phone to some one else already. Waiting for some good offer again.
Thanks for your input guys !
Hello everyone
I just wanted to share that I have been looking for a new phone since March this year and after looking at the latest and greatest around, I am still really happy with my Samsung Galaxy S3 even though I have owned it for a personal record of 20 months.
I've seriously looked at the Sammy 5, LG G3 and the HTC One M8 but none seem to excite me enough to justify buying a new model and with the great ROM development going on here I think that I can still take advantages of the latest developments.
Just wanted to post a positive no gripes thought on here for a change??
What thoughts are others having, assuming that finance is not a major constraint?
Hi, I currently have the galaxy note 3, and my contract is up right now.
I have only owned and loved the galaxy notes since the original, and was very excited about the note 5.... Until it was announced, and am now feeling very underwhelmed by it. Then there was all the talk of the lg g4 pro (again very excited by all the hype), which turned out to be this phone, the lg v10.
My question is, having never owned an LG phone before, should I get this phone?
I love the look of it, but am a bit concerned over the sd808, and overall it looks like an oversized g4 from the specs.
My mobile contract will be 24 months.
Do I hang on and see what happens in 2016, or jump in and get what seems to be a really decent phone (when it is released in the uk).
What are LG like when it comes to software updates compared with Samsung?
Having watched all the vids on YouTube, does anyone know what it's like after a few days use when the hype has worn down a bit? I've looked and only found 1 on YouTube.
Thanks in advance for your opinions
Dave
In 2016 you are going to ask your self the same question on a newer device than this. Technology just moves so fast, so next year something new will come along and you will be just as confused. Just buy it if you like it..
Only had an G2 in the past, but back then LG were decent on software updates. No way quicker or slower than other makers. Personally i Root and flash custom root so im updated before LG pushes out their own ROMs.
Go for it.. try it.. Like it? Buy it.
I personally sit and watch the reviews and words on the street (XDA) if it is good or not. Usually don´t buy first batch phones as they are the ones coming with errors.

Honestly, if your main concern over the 808 is not having a top antutu benchmark, then you should wait for 2016. The 808 has plenty of horsepower to make the G4 and V10 fly, so if its user experience you are more concerned with, I say make the leap!
OK, currently I'm on the Verizon Droid Turbo. And I'm eligible for an upgrade. I'm wondering if it's a good move to get an LG V10? This is the first LG phone in along time that has wowed me. Is it a good upgrade?
I have it and honestly it is a very impressive device. Go check it out hands-on at the AT&T/T-Mobile/Verizon store.
I jumped two days ago from the Note4....I'm very happy I did. So far i have no complaints with the phone and liking the new features.
I had the LG G3, but I've been jumping around different devices for the past few years (Nexus 4, 5, Galaxy S3, LG G3 and a few others). This is the first phone that I have been happy with in a long time. It's really fast, well built, camera is awesome, had a removable battery and expandable memory. the fingerprint reader is really awesome if you've never used one before.
In short, If you can deal with the oversized nature of the phone, YES. it's worth it. Especially if you can get in on the 200gb sd card and spare battery and charger deal from LG.
Sounds like my next phone. I don't worry about phone size, I've got big hands. Sometimes I think my turbo is too small. Appreciate the input everyone!
Had every phone in my sig (6 in the past year - wow, haha). V10 has excited me the most since the Nexus 5. Note 4 was a performance/camera beast for its time, but nowadays nothing Samsung has made has been impressive. I have no complaints with the V10 and was on-edge waiting for its release since it was announced.
