I just had my Moto g4 plus 64 stolen, I've used Moto G' for a few years now and they're brilliant, running stock android and no need to root.
I just ordered an unique z pro from eBay after watching a few YouTube reviews who all thought the phone was brilliant, now after looking on this forum there are a few saying do not buy.
If you have one, are you happy with it with official software? (I don't plan on routing a new phone)
I haven't receive it yet and am beginning to regret the purchase so it may have to go back!
I was looking at the Moto Z play but this is £130 cheeper.
I received mine from Gearbest five days ago. I also read all forum topics and was skeptic about the phone, even thou made a video of unpacking it.
First of all - the phone is absolutely brilliant - I have NONE of all problems people talking here: battery life is good - more than 5 hours with display switched on, apps orientation is fine, display is perfect - no scratches or anything else, my SD card working just perfect.
I got the phone with V3.01_20170321 ROM, 2 days ago it receives the v.3.01_20170408 as OTA update - NO problems at all.
Charging is slow, even using standard charger (I usually charge my phones while they are connected to PC).
Sound of the speakers is gorgeous, loud enough.
The phone is using pure Android which is good.
The camera is simply outstanding.
Also NO problems with Wi-Fi or 4G(LTE) - in my country Bulgaria all mobile operators are using 1800MHz for 4G. The coverage and the signal is on a maximum level.
For the money I've paid - this phone is super!
Thanks, have you got a link to your video?
I didn't upload it. The video is for my personal use - in case something wasn't OK when I got it, it would be easier to claim for money back or replace the phone.
More or less I can report the same. So far after a week, I have no hardware or software issue with the phone. Seems to be working as advertised. The only issue I had was with a few applications which simply refuse to run, but I didn't dig further to see why they FC. If intending to run it with no root and unmodified they it should be perfectly fine. Even though the os is AOSP based, I'd still prefer to have the possibility to run anything I'd like, such as Lineage for example. When it comes to charging, Im not sure what should be classified as slow or fast, but I think the phone charges in about an hour if I'm not mistaken. And one thing I'd like to see improved is the final quality of photos, since in the preview everything seems sharp and detailed but the captured photos seem somewhat pixelated for my taste but on the other hand I haven't explored that much the settings. In general it appears to be a good phone.
I have my Phone since a Week.
Very good sound
Good screen(thank's to Sharp! Real good Japanese quality)
The hardware is perfect
I received the Phone with V 3.01_20170321
I had some problems with the OTA Update 3.01_20170408:
- had to reset and recalibrate the gravity and compass sensors. Easy to do
- I had more problems with the radio 3G/4G. It lost a lot of times the GPRS connections and the modem had very big difficulties to reconnect it back on network. I can partially understand, my provider share his networks and frequencies with an other provider. But no excuse for Umi(digi ) i had never problems with other phones. Umi have to follow clearly the established protocols and do more tests !!
I reinstalled the firmware with flashtool with full formating. Since, it seems ok.
In all cases, I'll waiting a few days before I authorize the upgrade on Nougat(as soon it coming )
Some good non-sponsored reviews: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6UAkAU02cU&t=0s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49Bxa2Sy9Ck
I think those cover the bases pretty well.
One note is that the wifi radio is worse than my nexus 4 which is pretty sad. Wifi is really important.
Overall I'm happy with my $234 phone but it's definitely not the 'best budget phone.'
Disappointed with the Camera
I have a Nexus 6P and in comparison to it, Umi Z Pro fails in every aspect in terms of capturing images.
The camera on Z Pro is quick and it doesn't have similar focus as 6P.
But the image quality is okay, they hyped the phone for camera but I think that's not what they implemented.
Built quality is excellent, for a phone of this budget and stock android experience is a plus, no bloatware is a bonus.
I bought the phone regardless, my only regret is I can't get 4G data, as the bands are not supported.

4G works just fine so it's supported

I have had one for about 2 months and I can't see why others are saying not to buy one.
It is well made, reminds me of a galaxy edge in its design. I have never had any software problems with it. The screen is nice and it is responsive.
The 4g in my area is hit and miss, and the UMI z Pro doesn't do as well as my previous phone (Lg G3) for getting a 4g signal, but it drops to using 3g where the 4g signal is weak so not really an issue. I would say that that is the only negative thing I could say about it, but it is no deal breaker. Remember that it costs hundreds less than Samsung, LG etc's flagships, and in my opinion, it is well worth buying.
I am looking forward to the android 7.0 update, which should be soon.
Enjoy your phone and don't worry about making a bad purchase.
Just ordered...GearBest just shipped it from EUwarehouse to replace my worn down S4active

I received my Z Pro about 4 weeks ago.
The first impression is very good.
Super design and the hardware is top for this price class.
So far (almost) everything works perfectly.
The camera still has certain weaknesses.
That was with my UMI Super already so.
The focus does not seem to work properly.
The photos are very blurred/cloudy.
Only in bokeh mode the photos are good.
I hope UMIDIGI finds a solution and fixes this problem with one of the next updates.
Okay...got mine yesterday....
First impressions are good, but without making any changes to the stock ROM some apps are not working (maybe CPU or ROM related, i have to figure that one out in the coming days....)
For instance Firefox Browser didn't work for me (FC) but uninstall and reinstall seemed to do the trick. Also MX-player Pro tells me: 'component files are corrupted or android internal modules are not compatible with current version'.
ANother thing is that i can't manage to get it working with my Samsung Gear S watch ...but i think i'll find a way after some research...

Hello all!
I now own the exclusive to Xfinity Mobile LG X Charge phone.
For the time I have used it thus far which is just over 12 hours and I have discovered it is missing some essential apps I am very keen on having and am missing which are the basic LG apps Email and Gallery. The Email app worked so good and was so lightweight and simple and just always worked without fuss. The Gallery app is basically the same thing for me. I do not want to use Google Photos and manage my photos. I loved having my picture folders in a nice and simple app.
So now I come here seeking any help or advice on how I could possibly get some stock LG apps to actually work with this new phone. I cannot find any information on this phone anywhere as far as root/custom things.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciative. Thank you.
How do you like it? I should have mine on Monday. I planned on just using the sim card in my S7 for now but after seeing the massive battery, I might just go with it. I don't do anything too intensive.

I'm loving the battery life so far. I've been getting 15+ SoT with light usage, some Pokemon GO and music streaming in there as well.
Some things that are of inconvenience to me personally is I cannot get file transfers to work over USB hooking it up to my computer. I tried downloading LG drivers for it and all that. I just ended up using AirDroid to transfer my files over to it.
It works just fine now. It was either my cousins phone as he has the exact same model or it was his computer not allowing the USB hook-up to work. My phone and computer works just fine hooking it up over USB.
It also doesn't come with some stock apps like Gallery and a stock Email app. I have started using Gmail for all of my emails like Hotmail, etc. and using the app Piktures in place of stock Gallery. It has a built in file manager but I did not find it very useful so I picked up open source Amaze file manager, it plays nice.
The camera isn't too shabby I didn't seem to find a manual mode at all so I tried Open Camera, but it appeared to reduce quality so I scrapped it. I came from a locked unpaid for ATT LG G4 so rip on the amazing camera quality I'm use to.
Final thoughts: Love the great battery life and for a light user like my self it is a solid phone as I don't do anything too intensive.
Also if you miss the app drawer you can download it back from LGs app update center in settings.
I've been using it for a few days now. So far I think it's great. The battery is fantastic. I used it all day long yesterday and it was on 48% by the end of the night. That's a great tip about the app drawer. I've had it for so long now that's awkward not having it. I hope this phone gets a little love from developers. I tried KingRoot but no luck. The camera is the only downside for me. It's definitely lower quality than I'm used to. I'll take the trade off right now. It's nice not making monthly payments on a phone.

Yes I was so use to the app drawer I had to find a way to get it back, it was driving me nuts lol. I hardly use it as much now but I still do every once and awhile. The default UI launcher has every single app on your phone as a shortcut on your homescreen and I wasn't a fan of that.
Yeah I didn't think KingRoot would work, thanks for trying though. This phone will most likely not get root which makes me sad, but the phone feels pretty stock as it is with little to no bloatware, at least with the Xfinity Mobile model. Do you have this or the Cricket model?

I got it for Xfinity. I'm not a huge fan of Comcast, but my Verizon bill was out of control. I went from $180 a month for 10GB to $80. I have unlimited, my wife is per GB because she doesn't use much. I was also paying $30 a month for my S7 Edge. So the difference is really $50 a month. I'll take it.
I agree about root. I doubt anyone will pay attention to this phone. We can hope though. I can follow instructions but find exploits is way over my head.
Yup it is nice especially if you already have service through Comcast.
I tried Debloater to disable apps but it's either Nougat or a security patch that doesn't allow Debloater to work anymore.

Just an update in case anyone cares. This phone is freaking awesome. It's almost 7:00pm and my batter is at 75%. It's plenty fast enough. The only downside to me is the camera. It's not a deal breaker though.

Just curious as to what you think is wrong with the camera? I actually thought the camera was really good compared to my other phones. Moto g4 play and Samsung Galaxy grand prime. This phone seems to take very clear photos and videos.

The camera is a step down from my old LG G4, but the camera is good enough for me. It is still a decent camera.
For lithium630 I guess he is comparing it to the camera on his Samsung S7 which has dual 12MP cameras.

I see, you can't really compare a high end phone to a budget phone. There are probably plenty of differences between the two. Honestly.

I had the Samsung S7 Edge before this one. The pictures were crystal clear. By comparison this one often looks a little out of focus to me and grainy.

The S7 edge is a top of the line phone, you shouldn't compare it to a budget phone. It's like comparing a Lamborghini to a Ford.

I realize that. I was explaining what it was like to make the switch in case anyone was thinking of it. I'm shocked that the camera is the ONLY trade-off for me. I love this phone. I can't imagine paying four times the price for a "top tier" phone again.
The only other downside is that I doubt developers will give it any love. There was no bootloader unlock for the S7 Edge anyway.
Hi everyone!
I bought an LG G5 about 3 weeks ago. I was coming from a Xiaomi mi5 (that I loved! But had signal problems in the States) and the LG G5 feels like a single core 512mb of RAM phone. Using the LG launcher it was so laggy scrolling pages, so I switched to Nova launcher and now at least the launcher feels better. The problem is that everything else sucks. Even just using chrome is so painful, scrolling long webpages is not smooth at all, same thing happens scrolling my phone's settings or any other app. Sometimes it seems a little better but after some hard use and some apps opened it starts lagging like crazy and it even freezes. The performance of this phone is awful and I haven't had such a low performance phone in years. Also it gets really hot with normal use. So this is all very weird to me and I'm wondering if there's a problem with my device or if a factory reset could solve my problems. As I got the phone I updated it to Nougat but didn't do any factory reset (since it was brand new and nothing was installed yet). Do you guys think that could be affecting it? How is your phone acting? Is the LG G5 such a crappy, slow and laggy phone or I'm experiencing something abnormal?
Thank you to everyone who will answer this post and try to help!
I just bought an RS988 G5 last week too. I updated to Nougat (21b) and did a factory reset (really wish there was a simple clear system cache option in the recovery).
Anyway, I have not experienced much lag at all. In fact, it is noticeably smoother than my S7. Also, mine doesn't get very warm unless I do heavy tasks like gaming.
I'm actually quite pleased with the G5. Compared to the S7, my only issues are the build quality is definitely a step back. And the software support (from both LG and third-party) is rather weak, especially for our model.
Other than that, I'm pretty happy with the performance, battery life and camera. I'm getting ~20-30min more SoT than my 1-year old S7. Even aesthetically it's not as bad as it is in videos/photos (I have the titan version)... looks much better in person.
Is that your device is a original product? Not buy from those china store? Nowadays have alot of fake phone. I scare that the phone is not G5.
Another thing, between this 3 weeks, do you install any apps?

Thank you for answering! So from what I understand your phone doesn't lag and it's not slow. I think I'll try a factory reset cause the phone I'm using doesn't feel like a flagship at all

Thank you for answering! I'm sure my phone is an LG G5 original. I bought it from a physical store (Best Buy) and I doubt it's a fake. In these 3 weeks I installed the regular apps that I had in my Mi5 and that didn't affect it at all. I don't think it's because of the apps and if it is then I don't know what to do cause I regularly use all of them and I need them
Hello guys ,
As the the title indicate it , I'm about buying a LG G5 from a friend and i want to know, do you recommend me this phone to use it for at least another year.

Depends on your needs, the price, and weather or not it's bootloader unlockable, and whether an accurate GPS is crucial for you.

Okay thank you for this conversation
Yeah, I'd say this is a great phone, unmodified or modified. I was worried at first that the module design would make it fragile, but mine took a long tumble in a clothes dryer and the modules still lock perfectly. The glass has no visible scratches. The stock ROM is the best, most customizable stock ROM I've ever used. The Kryo chipset is still very advanced. Many newer phones are taking a step backwards with their chipset and other specs, which makes me want to return to the G5 again if I lose mine.
hi i'm also a moroccan and i recommand the lg g5 but you must be careful you now we live in morocco , but it's a great phone
if you want more information you can ask every thing you want
Not all models have FM radio
I've had my G5 since Oct. 2016 and haven't seen any newer phones I'd prefer. Be aware that not all G5 models (RS988, e.g.) have FM radio.
i would´t recommend this phone. The GPS issue is really annoying, bootloader impossible to unlock makes the device unrooteable, and the update frecuency is horrible.
I want to change it for another phone already.

Never had problems with GPS.
Yeah, locked bootloader is a problem for people who prefer rooted device with magisk & other tweaks. Either way, device is good even without root.
I do, however, agree that frequency of updates is horrible for almost any variant of LG G5.

My H860 received the November security update over a month from now, and received android N October- early November 2016. (Which is very good). However, android Oreo is scheduled for Mid 2018 ?
Using LG G5 RS988 since OCT2017... And going fine.

I use LG G5 dual H860 and what you said it's right. However this phone is my biggest disappointment since i had my first smartphone.
Image retention can be hid "temporarily" using application called SFILTER in Google play (the opacity must be at 30%). The main idea of this application is to hide the ghosting image but it will appear again if you uninstall it (tried several blue light filter apps and this one worked to remove ghosting image).
The worst defect in LG G5 is the bad power management. I could not see my battery charging while i was using the phone at the same time. I had to leave it charged without using it if i want my battery full (i used 2.4A charger which should be enough).
GPS sucks. I have no other words to describe it.
Other than what i mentioned above, everything is nearly flawless, especially to play games with high definition graphic. Thanks to the advanced GPU, Adreno 530.
I sold my samsung s7 and got a used lg g5 at half of the price s7 was sold. Despite the lack of wireless charging (which I solved by using nillkin's magic tags) and the cardio/stress/O2 meter I am really very pleased with the overall performance and quality of this specific device i 've got, tbh it's surprisingly faster than the s7 (with better camera also) and very close to my s8 in terms of response and fluidity. I am not major fan of customizations, since in the past most i have tried caused mostly sideeffects in each device tested (of course there are also some that work really well), and always prefer to have some warranty as backup. I hope not to sound biazed, i really try to be as neutral as possible always from my personal point of view.
As of this morning, the LG g5 (mine, anyway) is still better than 83% of all other phones in terms of gaming power and performance. This one's running Fulmics, bootloader is unlocked. I bought it new on eBay for 147.00 us. It's about a month old. I think it's still worth it to buy an LG g5.
I think you can try the Tecno Spark 7P. It has a triple camera setup which is actually really good and not to forget the mediatek chipset, satisfactory for gaming. Overall, I think we got a decent device here.
Anybody made the switch? LG has a lot of problems and no signs of fixes coming anytime soon.
I'm looking to use this on T-Mobile in the USA. I don't care about WiFi calling, but want fast speeds with LTE. Would this be a good device on T-Mobile?
Being rooted and running Xposed would also be a plus.
Also, the APL version is the correct one for the USA correct?

Bluetooth quality is very bad sounding no matter what connection. Fingerprint sensor needs tapped twice sometimes. Bottom of the screen doesn't always register to type. Random reboots. Very blotchy screen on dark colors. When using wired headphones and adjusting the volume, the volume cuts way down to almost zero before it goes to the volume selected. I also don't like that the phone hasn't had an update for the 932 in 4 months.

i see , LG have many variants so they seems doesnt have time to take care all of it . The only problem with my mate 10 is camera quality , i have no idea why dxo gave it 97 score

Could it be an isolated incident? Maybe you got a bad camera?
To me the mate 10 looks similar to the v30, but lacks all of LG's issues.

Switching to a V30 from mate 10 for the camera? Seems like a lateral move imo
im using both ( mate 10 (non pro) and lg v30+) loving them both, but for the camera department, my mate 10 is still better than v30. Quality, color reproduction, and low light picture, mate 10 is still better. Wide camera is V30 selling points and also the quad dac. Other than that; performance, battery life, Mate 10 is winner.
I have a V30+ and don’t have any of your issues. You can even install the Pixel wide and normal camera apps too.
I had the Mate 10 Pro previously and loved it. Still miss the camera options. Wish I could combine both phones.
