1) No removable battery
2) No microSD
Things that would make me very unhappy:
1) If the phone gets any taller or wider
2) If it stops supporting Qi
3) if it ditches the curved back
Things that would make me very happy:
1) They shrink the bezels even more
2) Verizon doesn't logo it up
3) They make an iPhone quality fingerprint scanner on the back power button that will work while knock code is still on too
4) Ditch the LG skin
5) More powerful IR blaster
6) 1080p resolution if it means better battery life versus 1440p

Well, considering I just upgrade to the G3 in December, not having an upgrade for two more years pretty much prevents me from upgrading to the G4! LOL!

I'm in the same boat. Got my G3 in August so I'm stuck with that for a while.
I don't see how people can justify buying the next new iPhone, Galaxy S or LG's flagships every year.
I don't feel like the jump from the G3 to the G4 is going to be enough to get me to upgrade.
The HTC One M9 will keep me from buying the G4.

Buy new device, sell old one on eBay for small loss; it amounts to renting a phone for $100 a year.
My crack habit. Sorry OP!
Every phone up until the my g3 had a custom recovery available thanks to developers figuring out how to by pass the bootloader or unlock it before I bought it. Whereas the G3 wasn't for about the 1st month I owned it and it drove me nuts because I am a flash aholic so I can't wait to see what the G4 is like, but this time I'm going to wait until the or it gets a custom recovery!
Unless it had a minimum of 64 GB of internal storage, there's no way I'd get any smartphone without a MicroSD slot.
I can't think of anything they could add so maybe working on size a little big not sure thats possible though. They can make the screen go brighter that seems to be one of the bigger complaints with the g3. I really have been lucky with not having to many issues. last year I jumped through the big 3 phones and ended up with g3 but I dont see a reason to try the other 2 as of right now.
While on the subject of possible weakness in the G3, my two main although relatively minor complaints and room for improvement are:
1. The notification LED is not noticeable unless I'm looking directly at it. For comparison, although the Galaxy S2's was too big and cartoony, the Galaxy S3's was perfect. I could see it out of the corner of my eye but it wasn't obnoxious. The problem might not be the size on the G3, it might be how deep inside the LED is, limiting it's visibility at anything but near direct angles.
2. Laying on it's back on my work desk or elsewhere, I never hear or feel the vibration, which I have set for all notifications. I theorize that the curved back, which I like very much, keeps the vibration from being noticeable due to the very small area of contact between the back of the phone and the desk surface. I don't want to keep it flipped over, I prefer it on it's back, I don't want to have it flipped over AND turn on the camera flash notifications, and from what I've seen without modification, the screen lighting up temporarily for notifications isn't that noticeable either.
The g2 had bad sound quality. The g3 has even worse sound quality.

I dunno. I am so disappointed with the Nexus 6 launch. Its still nearly impossible to get this phone and its still pretty pricey. I am disappointed that Verizon never formally launched it.
If the LG G4 has 4gbs of ram, I would without a doubt sell my g3 and get the g4.
But its looking like the galaxy s6 and htc one m9 both only have 3gbs of ram.
Why do I want more? To make it future proof. My lg g3 performs blazingly fast with Illusion 5.5 5.0.2 based rom. No major issues.
I would say that if motorola and lenovo release a padfone like device I would jump on that. Or ya know, if the Droid Turbo finally gets root... ha ha.
Do we have any concrete info on the G4?
I Got my G3 back in September, its a champ. I see no reason to upgrade right away.
With Bump out, the ability to run custom kernel/ROM, on 5.0 btw, so again, no reason to update. I love my phone.
I didn't think I would be here saying that coming from the Nexus 5. The root and rom method is so seamless and the ROMs so stable, running BlissPOP 2-20 here.
I would like a more premium feel to the device, but o'well. I can run anything I want on this thing, no problem.
...but do we have any info other then the couple concept renders, that are confirmed?
Ugh. It's getting bigger. But just barely. I so wish they would have wen the other way size wise.

It's definitely be closer to $200 for me personally by my math, and I'm perfectly happy with my G3. Any device without a removable battery, a micro SD slot, and root and bootloader unlock is a device you can count me out of haha To each their own

Verizon LG G3 's are going for $315 ($400 mint) on swappa. Assuming G4 is $600, that's $285 you would pay for a new one. I would gladly pay an extra $85 to stay out of a contract (especially since I'm still on an unlimited data plan).

I heard about this a while back, and thought nothing of it, cause they were only available in China, but it looks like Big Red is marketing the middle class of the 3 variants as the RAZR Max.

I like the 13mpx camera, and 720p display, but I don't think it's enough for me to make a big stink about upgrading. The REAL question is: Will it be running ICS upon it's release? If so, it's good news for us!

wow if that has a 4.5" screen with a 720p resolution and is the same size as the current razr, it is going to be nuts and i am going to be mad
Since I got in on the 1c Amazon deal, I can't really be frustrated about the other options.
I'd probably prefer a nexus, but not for $300 more. Same with the Razor Maxx. Now if Amazon offers it for 1c the day after my 1 month exchange time is up... then I'll be a bit frustrated.
I figure get the most I can out of the Razr for 2 years and then whatever is around then will be amazing.

Lol! I got mine from Amazon for a penny too, and knowing how marketing and sales teams tend to work, I wouldn't be surprised if something like that happened. It's not likely, though, and I can't say I'd be all THAT frustrated, since I love this one so much! I'm not a big fan of the Nexus either, I think our RAZR is pretty superior in build quality, and the rest of it isn't enough to make me lust after it since we'll be getting ICS too...

Ah, just wait till mid jan, there will be lots of better devices on the way. Enjoy what you have now and don't fret about the future, there will always be one.
Google really should limit the number of devices allowed to be released in a set period by one manufacturer. One of the biggest complaints I've heard from friends and others I've talked to is that there are so many different Android devices and any device you get is outdated nearly immediately. Each manufacturer should be forced to come out with one flagship phone and be required to keep it for a certain time period before the next model release. This would make them think twice before rushing a new device out and actually take the time to release a proper device with all the best specs
Highly doubt that it would come launched with ICS. Figure SGS2 would get it before the max, or our razr.
we're all gonna be fuming when quad core phones start rolling out, watch.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA App
Used to the "new phone" being old news in a month or two but if the razrmaxx was like the China variant I would be just a tad upset. Seeing as I had to convince big red to send me the razr for free to replace my months old bionic because of constant issues I doubt I could do it again with the maxx. Meh, either way i'm happy for now. And ya I probably will be fuming when quads roll out but so goes tech, new today ancient tomorrow.
Sent from my DROID RAZR
I was comparing the dates listed for the phones in the "leak" to their actually release date and there is about a 6 wk delay. So I'd guess that we see the Razr Maxx the last week in January (6 wks after 12/15/11.) That puts it about 10 weeks after the Razr, which was about 10 weeks after the Bionic.
Is Moto really on a 10 wk update cycle- that is insane.

Not insane. That is awesome. Means you can get a new phone every 10 weeks. Better than the alternative that Apple provides of 1 new (and usually disappointing) phone per year.

You would still have options. There is more than one manufacturer of Android phones. All I'm saying is limit it per manufacturer. With Samsung, HTC, and Motorola that'd be a guaranteed of 3 flagship phones out at once (4 if LG would release something that actually is, well, impressive)

Awesome that you are buying a new phone for full price every 10 weeks for just a few changes? I'd rather wait 20-30 weeks, pay the price, and get a greatly upgraded device.

Awesome that you "can" buy a new phone every 10 weeks. No one is forcing you to buy one that frequently. Choices/options are a good thing. In your case, you can still buy one every 20-30 weeks and get a greatly upgraded device. In fact, even better that during that time there were 2-3 new devices released!
The only downside to so many new models is it means that the market gets flooded with android variants. This makes it harder for developers to get their software to work cleanly on all phones- which is one of the few clear advantages of iOS.
Release date - September 12th.

But as of yet, there hasn't been any mention of a special function, correct?
I went into my local vzw corporate store to look at upgrading to the S4. The manager told me that an LG rep came today and told them that the demos will be available in two weeks.
I'm considering waiting for the G2 but can't get over the non removable battery and no SD.... I might take the plunge and get the S4. Either way I'm curious to test this phone out.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
My S4 is going back tomorrow once I reset it and box it up. I decided to wait for the G2 arrive and GN3 to be announced at IFA so I can get a better understanding. All I need to know is that Verizon isn't going to screw us and not offer a 32GB, heck I would love a 64GB but we know that WON'T happen on Verizon. I also don't expect it until at least Black Friday :|
I don't know why, but I'm excited for this phone. Anyone have experience with LG devices in the past? Have they ever had much support for cyanogenmod? This thing would be sweet with stock android...I think so at least

I am looking FWD to this phone and I will probably be upgrading my S3 for this phone. It has better specs than anyother phone out there right now. The only other phone I might consider is the new Note 3, but I don't think it is coming to VZW. I think the only downside to this phone is the no SDCard input which makes me want to get the 32gb one if I buy the LG G2.
So I am on the fence. Get the HTC One in a few days time when Verizon finally releases it or wait just a bit longer for this bad boy?
Since Verizon is getting exclusives I would think they would rush this device to the door unlike how they handled the HTC One.
Anyone have an idea when they might start selling this? In a couple months? Late Sep? October?

I'm sure the N3 will be on Verizon, the N2 sold like wildfire for them and Samsung has more carrier leverage than any other manufacturer besides Apple. No way would Sammy let the biggest U.S. network drop their second-best selling phone series.

Most likely October, they said it would take a month to six weeks to send review units to the news outlets, which usually happens a couple weeks before public release.
As far as this vs. the One, it just depends on what you value more. This has a bigger battery, bigger screen, and more powerful processor. The One has better speakers and design. Also you have to consider that development will be more active on the One. It will most likely be more popular with HTC's upcoming marketing push, plus once it's bootloader is unlocked you'll be able to port all the other ROM's already available for it.
I'm not sure how active the community will be for the One on Verizon. People are saying the device could be locked down to hell and with it already being 4 months old maybe developers will just wait till the next big thing. That being the Note 3 or the G2.

Hopefully the lockdown isn't as bad as the s4 but as far development goes with APN editing you can port any of the ROM's already available.

I'm ready to upgrade from my razr and the G2 is looking like the #1 contender for my next device. The Note 3 also looks great, but might be a little big for my taste. With the G2 packing a Snapdragon 800, Adreno 330 GPU, large battery, great camera, and 32gb of storage I should be happy with it for awhile. Only thing i'm worried about is android os updates. With this being released on all 4 major U.S. carriers and LG's most anticipated device yet I can't imagine it not getting at least the next few android
updates.
The G2 is launching with 4.2.2 out of the box correct?

Since the Z3V is on its way we should have a place to discuss news and rumors for us VZW users. I for one am really looking forward to getting this phone. I own a PS4 so remote play is a huge plus.
When do you think it will release?
How much do u think it will cost on and off contract?
Will it be fully unlockable? (AOSP/CM?)
Keep it clean guys, let's not make this a comparison to other phones thread.

good luck lol
T-mobile's been generally nice with unlocked bootloaders, but their Z1s variant is bootloader locked and they refuse to unlock it
http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/70666
I am also looking forward to the Z3V. It was about time for a Soy phone on Verizon.
PCMag mentioned that it is supposed to have wireless charging and it should have support for VoLTE,
I am pretty sure that it will go on sale sometimes in October.
When the Z1s released on T-Mobile it was $599 to $650 off contract but I think that Z3v will const more becuse Verizon is greedy.
$699 is my guess.
Verizon phones are never unlocked so I don't think that Z3V is going to be unlocked.
Yeah its such a shame we can't get unlocked phones on VZW. Its the main reason I won't buy another Sammy phone. I think the remote play will make up for it though. Let's try to keep any info that comes along here. I sure hope the phone comes out before the end of October in the US

of course it won't look exactly like that, but my point is that it will likely have some Verizon branding on the outside. it's been known vz likes to slap on their logos on anywhere possible. iirc even on some of their other android phones they have reload their own verizon styled SMS client.. heck, they even decided to tack on a "V" on the phone model.. Z3V .. does not justify reason to not get the phone, but just pointing it out
I got an email today allowing me to pre register. The email only had the TMo logo in it but no sign of VZW. Hope to get more info soon.
I haven't decided on my next phone yet, but the Z3V is definitely on my radar. Most of my rooting experience so far has been with Samsung devices and my current primary phone is a rooted/ROM'ed Note2. I recently bought a couple of Xperia Plays off of eBay (mainly to play games), and I've enjoyed learning about flastool, ftf's, etc... Even though it's an older phone, I'm still impressed with the Xperia Play's overall quality and I like how it seems that Sony is pretty supportive of Android development. If the Z3V allows the bootloader to be unlocked, then I may take the plunge and get one.

I'm in the same boat...currently I have a VZW Note 2 on BeansROM. Thought I was a lock to go to the Note 4 but it might be a hair too big...plus the S5 was locked down tight for a long time so I am guessing the N4 will be too. I can probably live without ROMs but I want root.
The early reviews, especially around real world battery life have got me thinking Z3.

Yeah, it'll either be a new moto x or z3v for me... Assuming the rumors about it coming to Verizon are true, at least. Fingers crossed!
Yeah...it's this or the Turbo for me.
Really want this though for the remote play and build quality.
Z3v confirmed from Verizon rep
Received confirmation today from my Verizon rep that the Z3 is definitely coming. Their Sony rep came in today and said news coming very soon.
We can chill here.
Will you ditch your current device to get this? Have you owned the M7 and M8
Topics of discussion:
Off topic, this stik'n thread ain't got some off topic... it should all be off topic
Cell phones... Does anything (atm) even compare to this bad boi?
Ideas you've seen in other roms, of which you would like to see incorporated to this device.

Nope...I don't feel there is enough improvements over the M8.

Probably a good thing you don't. Not sure you have enough room in your sig, to house another device worth of info
Was going to jump to sprint to get this. Finally leave Verizon. These reviews are pretty bad though. Hopefully with updates some of these issues can be fixed.

The best YT vid I watched said something to the tune of:
if you need a new device, it's a great first or replacement. I would not sell my M8 to get the M9, as there are not enough improvements to the platform. Stick with the M8.
That's rather telling, I would say.

Yeah this is pretty disappointing.

really there is no improvement. seeing the m9 review. the camera is not good. that why is not worth it,
Well here's a little "pick me up":good:
When you're all ready for it:
[NOOB Friendly] Root and Install TWRP on HTC One M9
Latest version of M9 TWRP, direct DL page:
http://teamw.in/devices/htconem9.html
Probably.
This will be a long version of saying YES, so here goes...
I had the M7, loved it. Jumped right on the M8 and "liked" it. My biggest issue with the M8 is kind of a silly one and it's mostly a behavior thing for me. Essentially, I couldn't stand how slippery the lil' bastard was. In my first few days, I dropped it on the pavement just carrying it to my car. Most of the drops were at my desk, just trying to do one-handed input. The thing is large, even for my large hands, so one-handed input was tricky, especially with a slippery phone. Now, most of you probably wonder, "Why the hell don't you just get a case?" Simple. I don't like cases much. I like the feel of the slim device in my hand without extra bulk. Often times, I slip the phone into the back pocket of my Levis. That's where my problems began. Sitting on a 2nd story balcony at dinner one night, my back was to the railing. The phone was so slippery that it slipped out of my back pocket and dropped two stories to the sidewalk below (thank God nobody got hurt). Shattered screen, requested my insurance replacement and got it in two days. The problem was, every single replacement (3 in total) had a blown speaker. After Sprint sending me 3 different replacements, I was so pissed that I switched to the Galaxy S5.
The Galaxy S5 is my first Samsung and now I know why. It's a big ol' piece of sh!t. Slow, clunky, plastic, TouchWiz - need I say more?
Bottom line, I've heard that the M9 has a better grip and isn't as slippery as the M8, so I'm thinking I have to switch back. Just can't handle this Samsung junk. I'll be selling it on eBay with all the accessories (Mophie case, extra battery with a dual charging dock, carbon fiber slim case, and a shatter proof screen protector).

I really want to but I'm so used to the note 3 features like spen that it's going to be tough. Not to mention the much larger screen. I love htc though and dislike touchwiz but have got used to it. I really want those dual speakers though. So badly wanted the prime or larger version.... And I get the reason to stick with the m8 if you have it.. I stayed with the note 3 over the note 4 for the same reasons and am happy I did.
I'm honestly hoping to hold on for the note 5 or if this m9 prime is ever released maybe they will have worked out the bugs of this one first.. So tough when your ready for a change. The wait is grueling but I want to be happy about buying a $600 pocket computer. ..
Totes ma goat sent from ma note
Anyone else already have theirs?
Going to get mine after I pay my Easy Pay stuff off next week, hopefully there's some form of CM ready when I get it. I'm sick and tired of the G3's development scene, all the GSM variants get the good ROMs while the Sprint variant had to rely on some ducktape & staple version of CM (Seriously, they increased the max volume and tried to fix NFC for the 1000th time and called it a "nightly") . I'll be really excited if CM11.1 gets ported because Holo is damn pretty on the M8 but I doubt it's gonna happen.
I am coming from the m7 looking forward to the m9
Got mine a few days ago at an event here in Los Angeles. Loving it
Sprint store or Bestbuy?
I revisit this decision every upgrade. Times have changed and are their any benefits to one or the other?
Bestbuy used to carry a better damage warranty/replacement deal long time ago. No frills no questions asked.
No more. They take the monthly charge and no matter what it is, they want another 150$. Plus they dont offer a loaner till you get a new one.
Used to have sprint plan similar to above, but have not since they use assurion.
Your experiences? Comments...

I've had the V30 since launch and am looking hard at the V60. I've never owned a Samsung, but also considering the S20.
I currently have a Note9 as my main device and a Mate 10 Pro as a back up. This is because I really like using a desktop mode on my device. Now LG have implemented a version they come into my sights as a viable option. And the V60 looks to be an awesome option. The second screen looks genuinely useful as well.
I'm considering the V60 as my next option. I'm on a Moto Z Play with a cracked screen so I've been looking for something to upgrade to for quite some time. The V60 checks all the boxes I need:
good sized battery
good screen
good connectivity
good audio
good features
I probably won't use the dual screen accessory often. If they price the V60 right, it will be an instant buy for me.
Depends on whether I can remap the STUPID assistant button or not. If I cannot remap it, then absolutely NO! Turning it off is not good enough. If it is there I want it to do something, but I never use these useless assistants at all!
I'm extremely tempted.. after ordering my s20 Ultra 3 weeks ago and coupled by the fact that I am still awaiting it to ship I'm about to cancel my order and await for this to officially drop.

I'll probably think about getting one because I'm not satisfied with my LG G8 battery life. It's kinda bad. Probably a bad unit, I know most people are getting decent battery life.
Although the V60 will probably be too big for me. Owned a 6.4" phone in the past and it was big, but 6.8"? Damn lol

Did a live chat with LG tech support yesterday to ask whether the STUPID dedicated Google Assistant button could be remapped to anything more useful...The answer was NO. So I told the tech to forward my decision to those who make such decisions that they lost a sale. I hate useless features that cannot be disabled, uninstalled, or especially for a hardware button...cannot be remapped to something else. Their loss...many more fish in the sea! Looking at the new Sony Xperia 1 Mark 2. Meh
Ordered mine first thing this morning. Glad I did because AT&T is now out of stock already lol. Can't wait to come back to LG after having an iPhone for 2 years. I still use my V20 for things my iPhone can't do. I shouldn't need a supplementary phone if I paid $1k.
Lol I got mine

Nice, had to order online because the stores were closed. How is it so far ? Like it, hate it ?
I'll get it after it gets root. until then i'm sticking to my v30. I am seriously looking at the pixel 4 XL. I need my root.

I've found that the tech support people are often very limited in the understanding of what can and can't be done on devices they support. I've ordered one, and I'll let you know what I can find out.

I look forward to hearing from you on the remapping issue. I have done a great deal of searching for answers to my question with several different LG devices that have the button incorporated into the hardware and the answer is always a big fat NO to LG allowing a remap of the Google Assistant button. I have read about a few work around's or 3rd party apps that partially work, and then there are those who say the work around's do NOT work for them...so it appears to be hit-and-miss. Some have surmised that it is Google that doesn't allow this to take place. If that is so then Google must be paying a tidy sum to LG and other OEM's that include the button in their devices. This to me is the epitome of arrogance to think that people want their useless crap forced on them when paying major money for a cell phone. I will be sure to spend my money elsewhere. For LG to agree to a $$$$ contract with Google for something like this will not bale them out of bankruptcy should this phone fail...in fact...it may lead directly to the very failure they're trying to avoid. So sad!

Will you keep the phone in the dual screen housing 24/7? If not, what are you looking at for cases?
Unlocked carrier available yet?
