Lol, I've seen a lot of chatter about the S7 and S7 Edge on this board lately and now this. I get the feeling a lot of people are scrambling to justify their ownership of the 6P now that the latest and greatest have been announced.
I get it, I've been there. My best advice is to enjoy your 6P if it's the phone that really fits your needs and you are genuinely happy with it. However, if you are posting about other phones, there is already something deep down inside you that is intrigued in a new phone. Trust me, I know. I get that feeling much too often, hence me being a phone junkie.
The 6P is a good stock Android phone, but there are new big boys on the block now. Just the way this industry works.

Maybe he's just not a fan of Samsung or LG???
I couldn't get rid of My Note 5 fast enough...the software is terrible. It lagged all over the place and TouchWiz, though better than it used to be, is still not very "pretty".
My fiancee still has her Note 5, but wishes she would have gotten the Nexus 6P whenever she uses my phone. She's always complaining to me how her phone constantly freezes up, and random reboots here and there. The RAM management is horrible on the Note 5.

Who says Samsung and LG are the only manufacturers? There seems to be solid offerings from companies like Alcatel and Xiaomi coming too. And HTC.
As to your other points, they are fair enough. Samsung and other heavy handed skins definitely aren't for everyone. And I whole heartedly agree that the ram management on the S6 and Note 5 was straight trash.
So in the end, it's definitely different strokes for different folks.

I would get the mii 5, or the s7 edge in a heartbeat it they had a skin like motorola's or like sony's pretty much stock android, with just minimal changes and another camera app , but I had a Note 4 and the software was terrible (lollipop), I had it 2 months and sold it, because I didn't want to put of with touchwiz anymore :/

Really? Where did you see that? I'm just curious. I have a Nexus 6P and HTC One M9. My 6P is my daliy driver 90% of the time. However, when i'm at home and if I want to listen to music or watch the many TV shows i see, I will use my M9. IMO it sounds a lot better with headphones. Sometimes I take both phones to work and will use my M9 to listen to music as i'm working.

I read it in some Android news site like the Android Police or the Android Authority I forget where but it's reported to be also a standalone DAC with type-C and 3.5m jack but not sure about bluetooth. Other DAC can be found in Amazon from around $20.00 and up. The V10 has a built in DAC that's supposed to be awesome hopefully the G5 DAC from B&O should be pretty good. Yeah, this set up with Viper! :good::good::good:
Hello Guys. Currently I have a Galaxy S6, and I was planning on buying a new phone. I was thinking on getting an LG V10 or LG G5(I always had LG phones before, like G2, G3). I didn't get G4 because of lack of fingerprint(I love fingerprint) and some other stuff. So to make it short what do you think? Should I get LG V10 or G5? Thanks in advance

from my experience and what you need, if you need speed for games and etc you should get G5...but, if you want a bigger device with amazing design and a second screen (wich for me is a must have) you should get the V10....is all about what you need and not what you want.
for the price i can grab the V10 or G5 today is almost at the same price (around 400-450) if was me i rather choose the G5 - i dont buy the G5 because is too small for my needs, and i came from a G Flex 2 with better SoC than my V10 and i like to have SD810 in V10 because will make it a beast more than already are...
i buy my V10 for 400 euros, the same i pay a year and half ago for my G3, i sold my G3 to buy the G Flex2 and sell my G Flex2 to buy my V10 and is so amazing phone, secons screen is really helpfull. the audio DAC is good enough if you have a good pair of headphones, the camera is full of extras...
- i dont know more to tell about the V10, because i use LG from almost 6 years, all my previous phones are LG and i love it so far i never have nothing to complain, ok, battery in some months will be worst, my V10 have almost 4 months with me and the battery dont last the same they last about a month ago, i try to do my best but isnt enough!
its with you, if you dont really care about size then go with G5 - or wait to buy V20 - if you have money to buy it, yeah, V20 is really a exelent device and you comming from a S6 is a well worth update. if you think go from S6 to V10 dont do it, dont worth it because S6 already is the same performance as V10 have, but i think V10 is lower, only thing V10 have over S6 is extras. if you think S6 to G5 is a yes because G5 is better than S6.

I loved V20 but I don't think I have enough money to buy it. So that's why I was asking between these two. I was also considering Nexus 6P also(mainly because of development, custom roms and latest android update) but I am a little bit worried about it's camera, I don't know how it compares to LG G5 or S7

Thank you alot! Now I'm thinking between G5 and 6P. As I read some reviews 6P camera was okay it just tends to make photos a little bit darker than other smartphones. But on the other side there is alot of android development(like custom roms, plus the price will fall down more when Pixel devices will launch) Anyway I will wait for at least one other month until V20 and Pixel devices come out!

i dont belive in that kind of comparisons because i have tested that phones in first person, more than one time, i know what i see and what i feel with those phones and for your information: yes the sound of 6P is better than S7 and G5, TOGHETER!!! the 6P have dual front facing stereo speakers, G5 is mono and S7 with that kind of water protection is the worst of all!
- people should stop saying sammy is better than every other phone because they arent, like apple because apple are junk, you overpay for cheap aluminium and pay for the brand only, like you buy a original Coke and a cheap imitation of Coke!!! Sammy only was good until S3, since S4 that time sammy only do the same thing and dont say sammy kill every phone in this year with Note7 iris scanner, thats a gimmick feature, A BIG GIMMICK, more than their ridiculous chinese battery!
Sammy isnt sign of quality those days, even Xiaomi, Huawei and OnePlus are doing better job than sammy!

Im using v10 atm...so I don't have s7...but s7 is most complete phone today...As I said 2 speakers means nothing...what, you put your phone on the table and listen music? pls...
All high end phones are fighting over one thing...camera...everything else is less important ...they are all fast, they won't lag etc.
It's just about camera and phone look...and atm s7 camera is the best...

at the moment nothing, i am pretty sure when V20 is out - they should went for sale tomorrow - they will be the best camera-phone in the market for sure! with the same manual controls like V10 and G5 dual camera setup will kill the S7 (if already not have die yet).
i have V10 too and i like it, not because performance but for overall feeling, design and camera features and for sure someday i will update to V20.
Ok so first off the G5 does not come with hifi dac. It is an add on module that you will have to find and pay for separately if you want that feature.
I have never had any lag playing games with my v10 so I can't speak for that. It's powerful enough for me.
One thing to note is that all LG phones are having some kind of soldering issue with the motherboards. So keep that in mind if you go with v10 or any LG phone. You don't want to buy a dud.
Last thing to keep in mind is that unless you go with TMobile version of v10 there is absolutely no developer support for this phone. Even if you do go TMobile the developer scene is next to nothing. If developer support is important to you keep this fact in mind.
lg v10 camera kills if you take steady pics...and manual controls are great...but auto mode is just ok...that's the part where s7 kicks in...I think that auto mode on v10 can be better but maybe we need some custom rom...until than...
About lags...I didn't have lags since note 2
Hello guys! I was thinking on buying a new device. Currently I have Galaxy S6, but before this device I always had LG phones(LG G2, G3). I didn't like G4 mostly because of lack of fingerprint sensor silly reason but I use it alot. So now I was thinking on buying LG G5 or LG V10. I don't think I will use the modulars in LG G5(except maybe I will get an extra battery). So which one do you suggest for me?(you can make other suggestions also) Thank you in advance

Honestly, if you like custom ROMs at all, I would vote no on both LG phones.
I would rather be running CM versus a stock ROM + Xposed. Xposed just seems to have too many issues where apps or tweaks stop working.
I previously had a V10, then via a warranty exchange, they gave me a G5. I accepted the G5 since I decided the V10 was just too big and bulky and the G5 was newer.
Comparing the two, I prefer my G5 over the V10 still. I do feel like the G5 is much more fragile. It is just more plastic-y versus my steel-railed V10. Additionally, the latest software on the G5 is much more feature-filled and polished versus the V10. Don't quite understand why the V10 doesn't have a very similar build of MM, but w/e.
Alternatives? Maybe wait until Oct 4th so we can get a look at Google's phone?
I am probably a bad person for suggestions as it seems like no phone can meet proper standards for me... Now if say the S7 was built by HTC, unlocked, water-resistant, nice 5.1" size... Maybe I would have a new phone myself!

Well, I guess I am a believer that all high-end device cameras are pretty darn good now; Isn't much of a noticeable difference between most of them.
Looking at some lengthy comparisons- http://www.androidcentral.com/camera-showdown-s7-vs-6s-vs-6p-vs-950, looks like it is kind of a toss-up.
What I can't speak for is how fast it is... When comparing my last few phones, Nexus 5 vs V10 vs G5; I would say the order is G5, N5, V10. For whatever reason, from launch to snap took FOREVER on my V10. I LOVE how fast the G5 is, I can take a photo in like 2 seconds, which is a big advantage to me.

It's much more likely to get fully working CM on a Qualcomm device like the G5 than on an Exynos device like the SGS6 or SGS7.
The Nexus 6p is outdated, I wouldn't buy a Snapdragon 810 device now.
The G5 is lightning-fast and has a very good camera. Also the battery runtime is good IMO. With CM or AOSP it would be a tremendous smartphone, let's see if the camera issue will be solved.
But however you decide, you have to buy what you like most.

Sorry for asking all these questions : but is there any development going on on AOSP ROMS for G5? If so what variant should I get?
Depends on you. If you like stock. G5 is a great buy. I don't mind if the H860 has no custom ROM for now as long as the stock official ROM is stable and usable and runs great. To be honest the stock ROM is great. Battery is good, performance is good and everything else. I'm happy that I bought G5. A big leap from my LG G2. Camera, gaming, video and the like are great. Custom ROM's are optional and depends on the user. I do like custom ROM but I'm satisfied with my current state of my G5. :victory:
If it's not too expensive I would go for the LG V20. I am happy with my G5, but I have an european H850 with unlocked bootloader and for a great price
Look into the V20 if you don't mind a larger phone
The phone hardware is amazing but it doesn't have many roms on the software side. I would still get it if I were you. I've had big problems with the Cam+ module I got as a preorder. 3rd one works fine though.
Honestly if you are going to get the LG G5. Get the V20 instead.

I can get a used one, or bad esn from US(which are very cheap) and unlock it(because I currently live in europe)
I really like it. It took some time getting used to it but I got it on prime day really cheap, so cheap in fact that once I sell it in 2 years I probably will not have lost any money
Battery life is good the cameras are awesome and it is really fast. If you can get a good deal on it, go for it
Tested back to back with my wife's V20 using the included AKG earbuds using a high fidelity flac file of the Allman Brothers song Old Friend, which is two acoustic guitars with strong vocals. Night and day, there was far more detail and less hiss using the V20. Tested also with hih quality flac files of Metallica and Andrea Bocelli. Same. Far more detail.
Used Poweramp Alpha with high fidelity output enabled. Nothing scientific, just back to hack.
I mostly like the Note 8 otherwise, but for sound quality alone I think I'll return for the V30 when it comes out. Haven't Used the S Pen hardly at all, which surprised me. For me, audio quality is important.
Just one man''s opinion.

So what was your purpose of buying a Note then if you had no intention of using the pen? Seems you bought it for all the wrong reasons and decided to post here to get others to sway away from the Note 8.
Just information others might find useful sir. Not trying to sway anyone in any direction.
You are comparing a phone that was made for quality audio to a phone that wasn't.
Now, LG V20 stylus is inferior compared to the Notes.
"audio quality is important"... what the Note 8 could do was known before you ordered it. Sorry but all one had to do is search and then look at the history of Galaxy phones in regards to sound. For me the word 'NOTE" says it all. Now.. again for ME... MUSIC? Yeah.. not going with any phone
After my Note 7 Fiasco I got the LG v20. The sound was good on it. But I don't listen to anything on my phones anyway. The phone it's self was ok at best. The LG v30 will be the same. Lg is incapable of making a phone with the build quality like the Note. I can tell by looking at the v30 that it is going to feel cheap.

Opinions are always welcome but your opinion is of the "duh really" variety. If you want the best sound get a V10, V20, or V30 when it arrives. For that matter I'll trade you my U11 straight up, if music is that important to you.
Enjoy your Note8.

After my Note 7 Fiasco I got the LG v20. The sound was good on it. But I don't listen to anything on my phones anyway. The phone it's self was ok at best. The LG v30 will be the same. Lg is incapable of making a phone with the build quality like the Note. I can tell by looking at the v30 that it is going to feel cheap.

Agreed, I got the LG V20 and regretted it quickly. Loved the audio, but not much else.
Wow. Harsh crowd. Sorry y'all were so offended. Was just sharing intel/opinion that might be useful to prospective buyers.
In any case, hope the discussion is useful to someone. It's still a stellar piece of engineering.

Tested back to back with my wife's V20 using the included AKG earbuds using a high fidelity flac file of the Allman Brothers song Old Friend, which is two acoustic guitars with strong vocals. Night and day, there was far more detail and less hiss using the V20. Tested also with hih quality flac files of Metallica and Andrea Bocelli. Same. Far more detail.
Used Poweramp Alpha with high fidelity output enabled. Nothing scientific, just back to hack.
I mostly like the Note 8 otherwise, but for sound quality alone I think I'll return for the V30 when it comes out. Haven't Used the S Pen hardly at all, which surprised me. For me, audio quality is important.
Just one man''s opinion.

It was kind of a given with the V20's quad-dac, but appreciated none the less

I have 703, and same on the note 4. How did u get 704? I go on the poweramp website and go to download but there no link to click on.
704 is only available from the Poweramp forum. It's easy to find there.

When I first receive my Note 8. I was despised with how it sounds.
I think you want to make your own adapt sound setting first. only then it sounds good. really good.
Listen with Tidal and Neuron. boy. it sounds so good!!
Adapt sound on note 8 is much more better than adapt sound on my last note 3
Yeah amhave to agree with everyone else. If audio is important, LG V10/30 is for you.
Comparing quad dacs to what Samsung offers is not an even match.
If audio is important, i would advise you to get a separate audio device. I have note 8 as my daily driver for work, personal and games. I own a DP-CM1X for audio with 2.5mm balanced cable to my im03.

I have the Note FE, Note 8 and LG V20.
Note 8 is much better than the Note FE but no way as good as the V20 when you use 24 bit music (Lossless). But I believe most consumers use streaming services which use high but rate MP3s so most so consumers would be happy with the Note 8. I am not which is why I use a dedicated Sony NW ZX300 DAP.
Hey,
am about to buy a new phone and am a bit conflicted.
My main goal is actually to have a smaller phone and great battery life.
Would you rather buy the LG G6 or the Galaxy s8? I would like to hear it from ppl who use the G6 that's why I created this thread.
Thanks in advance!
as I've been told by some friends, battery life might suck on the s8 ( I'm pretty fine with the g6's battery atm ) and i can't find any comparison videos 'cause all of them are about the s8+ vs g6, not the regular one. if you're going for the s8+ and not the s8, that should be your go to phone. if I had the possibility, I would go for s8+, not the s8 nor g6.
This message is from g6 plus 128
S7 edge 32 is better than this thing
It aged much better. Has amazing support and much better value
So s8 of course is a better choice specially speed and updates
The thing is, it's hard for people to say which one's better, since most people only have one of them. But by looking at the spec sheet, the s8 wins. However, my experience with the g6 has been very pleasant, everything from battery life to the camera have been very good (except for software updates). So if you are going to buy the 64gb lg g6 (h870ds), keep two things in mind. You might have to wait until August to get oreo, and the h870ds variant isn't bootloader unlockable (meaning you can't root it).

Thanks for all answers!
Oh damn I just ordered the 870ds, I didn't know it's not unlocked .
Anyway thanks, but the s8+ is way too big, the g6 is already too big actually

That's strange, my g6 fits perfectly in my hand, and I have pretty small hands. Anyway, glad you picked one.

For me it's too big to navigate like an iPhone 6 that I had in my hands.
Anyway I will sell my G6 as soon as it arrives, since not even bootloader unlocked. Gotta get the s8 I guess.
Thanks for the helps

Sorry being stupid but is Samsung and Knox better? Always thought Sammy would be a bad idea if you want a free device.

I will read again about it, but as far as Í can see at least the bootloader won't be locked on the dual sim models.
If you find a smaller alternative that looks good and has a similar CPU and good battery life + good custom ROM support, I would also buy that. So far only seen s8 in that direction
For anyone interested in a battery comparison: https://www.phonearena.com/reviews/LG-G6-Review_id4323/page/4
LG G6 is preferable only if you have expensive high impedance headphones. Otherwise for the same price S8 looks better.
I wouldn't buy Sammy where Xiaomi or Meizu offer same performance for half price.
