If money isn't an issue, the nexus 6 may be the better choice. In my country i can find a flex 2 for half the price of the Nexus 6. So, my choice was clear.
[LG G Flex 2] devilsadvocatenu:
For me, it wasn't so much a money issue as a storage issue. No microSD is not an option for my main device.
[LG G Flex 2] WittePens:
amazon has it for €320 ... if you can show me a flex 2 at half the price, then i'm gonna buy a few of those :silly:

expansys has it for €370
[LG G Flex 2] le grande magnetto:
do you live in Switzerland?
[LG G Flex 2] WittePens:
no belgium, but last time i checked thats part of europe aswell... amazon.de delivers to switserland doesn't it? (cause it sure does to belgium, even amazon.es delivers to belgium)
[LG G Flex 2] simon21:
Also, keep in mind that flex 2 is a one handed device and the nexus 6 is a two handed device
[LG G Flex 2] le grande magnetto:
What about Flex2 being futureproof? This device probably gonna receive android M, and few fixes, but due to LBL its gonna be stuck with whatever LG makes. No custom ROMs, no custom kernels. I'm currently thinking about purchasing this device, but idea about LBL keeps me away.
[LG G Flex 2] Kamepa:
I live in Switzerland. In my country I could buy a flex 2 for about 250$. A Nexus 6 would cost me here 480$. Therefore my choice was the Flex 2.

In the last days the prices in Europe droped generally. Here a good offer: http://www.ebay.de/itm/LG-G-Flex-2-H955-Platinum-Silver-/351557561976?clk_rvr_id=918905263557&rmvSB=true. It must be the European model H955 with 2GB ram and 16GB storage. But at least it's a free model and you get the updates quickly.
[LG G Flex 2] le grande magnetto:
How's those are so cheap? Are these prices for new phones?

Btw, what about 32/3 GB version, was it only for US market?
[LG G Flex 2] Ace42:
That's ATT's H950 for US...the Sprint model might have those too, haven't looked into that one much. Internationally the Flex is 2/16GB, or perhaps it's just the Korean variant. In the US the H950 has been $250 frequently.
[LG G Flex 2] le grande magnetto:
I may be about to join Flex2 family. :D
[LG G Flex 2] petraru1:
I have the Flex 2 H955 since yesterday, i bought it for 315 euro and i don't regret, i love this phone. Mine came with 5.1.1 out of the box, and did only 1 update (latest 5.1.1) and it doesn't overheat to much, first antutu run gave me 57k run it for 40 min and the score never went bellow 50k... btw the nexus 6 is 450 euro in my country :)
[LG G Flex 2] Kamepa:
The phones are new! The phone didn't sell well here and the shops want to get rid of them.

From what I know the 32/3GB version never came to Europe.

[LG G Flex 2] shizkoff777:
Nexus 6.ive owned both phones now and i can say i would rather have the nexus 6 for nothing other than how easy it is to root and mod it
[LG G Flex 2] mwedo:
My apology for bumping the thread but I feel that I'd get an answer(s) faster here than in general related there (still 0 replies there);

Basically, I want to know if there are any former G2 users who switched to GF2 as I wonder - to buy or not to buy G Flex 2 as an LG G2 user? I won't gain anything regarding the RAM and internal storage as both are 2/16 models, but I absolutely dig the design of GF2 and it has newer and faster SOC, better camera, better audio quality, better voice calls quality, microSD support (even though it's not important factor for me), official Marshmallow on its way...

Don't care about the locked bootloader on GF2 tbh, as it seems that everything is great so far on 5.1.1 (is it?), and worse battery than G2 is not an issue. I don't even care for bad gray colour (grainy screen issue). But that price... Dat price! Only €240/$260 for brand new with 24 mo. warranty, SIM unlocked, off-contract seems too good to miss.

Its pros (over the G2) should justify its price (difference), eh? I'm not even sure yet if I plan to sell G2 (because it's still one hell of a phone and with 5.1.1 & 6.0.1 is lightning fast) or just go with both. Can sell it for like $180 in mint condition with 5 mo. warranty left. The only thing I see against buying that beauty is that problem with going back to stock that I see all over the place (like literally everyone is bricking their devices etc.). Root is mandatory for me and there's no way to go without it, and I will miss a lot just simply flashing kdz file via the LG Flashtool in case that anything goes wrong...

Thanks! :)
[LG G Flex 2] JadenWSOP:
Rooting is very easy. There are tutorials here in the forum. I always used the manual method. I've bricked my device more than once through modding the device and most of the time it was possible to back to stock via the .kdz-method with lg flash tools. The only time I wasn't able to unbrick it with the .kdz-method was when I flashed this mod.

http://xdaforums.com/g-flex2/development/dec-21-stock-lollipop-flex-2-ls996-t3275531

Bc it used files from the G4 and ****ed up download mode. I had to send it in. So I just don't risk to flash this mod anymore and I'm fine. You should be too. BTW I got mine in Nov on Black Friday at Media Markt Austria for 199 Euro. :cool:

It don't experience problems with bad screen quality besides the screen being way to bright when at minium brightness but you can fix it with using Lux Auto Brightness and CF.Lumen 3.0. It also should save you some battery bc it doesn't poll the light sensor all the time.

Battery and Performance can be improved using Greenify, ZZ PowerNap and Amplify along the Xposed Framework.

For more Performance you debloat, use the custom thermal config in this forum, use BootManager and AppOpsXposed.

Also used AdAway and YouTubeAdAway to get rid of Ads.

Viper4Android for better sound.

Also modding your SystemUi shouldn't be a problem with flashing Xposed and using modules like GravityBox, G4 TweaksBox, XStana and XToast.

Camera can be improved used Camera FV-5 with manual mode and better processing.
[LG G Flex 2] ProgLGFlex2:
LG G2 users will say yes.

Amazing phone.
[LG G Flex 2] copy2050:
Honestly GF2 is even better than LG G3 wish i already have by 1 year...i love the GF2 better than G3 because theyr curved body...the feel in the hand is priceless, the look of them! Of course the grainy screen for most users will be a deal breaker but for me arent...i buy it from germany for about 245€ in December because here in Portugal stores and online they cost about 350€ at that time but now here i can grab one for 260€ now!

Is crazy the price drop in GF2, such a exelent phone and for a suberb price i can even close the eyes i buy another if i can...one for daily use and other for the weekend's or for backup phone! Locked Bootloader isnt again a deal breaker for me, i like all stock and only root and debloat and put some apps like Kernel Adiutor, Amplify, AdAway and other things like many other users do...

My SoT is about 5/6 hours...standby time is about 3 weeks with even never touch them and see what fast battery drains and i have about 3 weeks to fully discharge...because i mod the thermal-engine file too and decrease the CPU and GPU clock...

THIS PHONE IS A MONSTER, HEAD TO HEAD WITH SGS5 and even SGS6 is way way better...and dont forget Nexus 6 have vanilla and is for that the performance can be the same...but doesnt have SD810 but SD805 instead with DD3 and not DDR4! ;)
[LG G Flex 2] mwedo:
Thanks guys! Much appreciated! :) GF2 ordered, should be in my hands this Monday and I can't ****ing wait! Like I'm some kid waiting for his birthday present :D
[LG G Flex 2] Masteryates:
I bought the Mrs a GF2 (H950) and its very impressive for the money. I would say a few things however:-

- If you go for the H950, getting updates is a total pain in the arse.

- If you go for the H955, you will have less RAM than when using the G2 as the GF2 is 64bit whereas the G2 is only 32bit. 64bit just takes more memory when doing everything. I went for the H950 for the Mrs as it has 3GB Ram.

- The camera is much better on the GF2 in normal conditions but worse in low light. For some reason, that laser struggles to focus. We tested over many shots like for like and the G2 was way better in low light.

- Battery life is way worse on the GF2.
[LG G Flex 2] mwedo:
[MENTION=5244232]Masteryates[/MENTION], thanks for your comment! H955 is (unfortunately) the only option for me here in Europe but I don't mind the 2 GB RAM as it's DDR4 paired with that SD810 monster. Currently I'm running MM 6.0.1 on my G2 and it's amazing improvement over all of the Lollipop versions so, hopefully, it will be a killer on GF2, once it's released :)

However, as I'm pretty much always on AOSP/CM ROMs, I hardly doubt that camera in low light can be worse than it is on G2 (it's "focusing" like 8-12 seconds!) :D Can't recall how was on stock ROM(s) but it wasn't that enjoyable to use anyway (in low light).

And yeah, just got a call a couple of minutes ago to stay at home as the package will be delivered in about an hour, yay :)
[LG G Flex 2] Masteryates:
Yes, I'm in the same boat regarding the GF2 as I'm also in Europe. I would be very interested to see the performance of the GF2 vs G2 when you have lots of apps open and are getting near the limits of the GF2's RAM. Lets hope its a non issue. (I only ask this as my Nexus 9 which is 64bit with only 2 GB Ram constantly runs out of Ram and forces closes things in the background.)

You are correct about the G2's camera taking an age to focus in low light. What we found was that although the G2's camera was slow, the resulting picture was great. On the GF2 it would say it had focused straight away only to take a unfocused shot. We tried it over and over again on different subjects with exactly the same outcome. :crying:

Hope you love your new phone and please report back. :highfive:

Sorry for going off topic btw. :o
[LG G Flex 2] talya10:
So you still recommend GF2 over G3 ?

I am about to pull the trigger for either one of GF2 or G3 but i am still not sure which one :confused:

GF2 cost 267 euros while G3 cost 228 euros, both 2/16 version (Holland)

The near future proof specs of the GF2 or the somehow 'outdated' specs of the G3 is my biggest question

Is the GF2 display that bad of a downgrade compared to G3 ?

What about the audio jack quality

I will not be using it for gaming, i will mostly use it for social media apps,YT,Netflix and as mine on the way audio device

Are those 40 euros extra worth spending for the GF2 over the G3 according to you ?
[LG G Flex 2] pelelademadera:
If you like to touch your phone, buy the g3.

I have a g3 now, tmobile version, I had a gf2, now hardbricked.

No difference at all, the only I miss is the curve, Its really comfortable in the pocket
[LG G Flex 2] WujekT:
If you plan to buy 2/16gb version, buy GF2. If you can buy 3/32 version of G3, that be better choice for multitasking.

Wysłane z mojego LG-H955 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[LG G Flex 2] talya10:
Thank you both :)

I had the chance to play around the G3 today, though GF2 is only available online and i am yet to meet a person who have the gf2 (such a niche phone) lol so i cant tell the difference, the G3 i checked today was with MM, very fluid and fast i must admit :)

Yes they are very identical in many aspects but this much talked P-Oled display is what worries me ... how bad or good is it compared to the G3 display ?

and what about the audio jack which one is better ? as i will be using that most of the time.
[LG G Flex 2] TheDanHruby:
Hi i owned lg g3 s5 and gf2 .s5 is slow and laggy compared to flex and g3 has lots of stuthers in the ui and i had the 3gb ram version and it didnt make much of a diference. The audio on flex and g3 is both superior.I personaly liked gf2 screen over g3 becouse of better saturation and richer collours. The flex is the best of them.... But lg didnt unlocked gf2 bootloader.so there is no custom roms.G3 has lots of custom roms. E.g. Fullcomics rom is awesome.Very speedy and long battery life. So it depends on how much you need custom roms if you dont care go for the g flex you will be happy with it.sorry for my bad english.

[Nexus 6P General] shadowcore:
Source:

http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-e...hich-blows-irreversibly-on-bootloader-unlock/

In other words, they can refuse warranty if you unlock the bootloader because of the furse being blown after bootloader unlock. Since its a hardware change, its irreversible. For more information, check http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28464645

http://blog.azimuthsecurity.com/2013/04/unlocking-motorola-bootloader.html

What does that mean for the average consumer? Unlocking bootloader is a costlier matter now, at least for a nexus device.. Warranty is a service provided by OEMs. They can outright refuse warranty if they have a reason to and in some cases for no reason. Its a grey area.

IMHO, if you are willing to buy a nexus device and dont want to test out custom roms and rooting the device, you are not using a nexus correctly. Unfortunately, it seems even a nexus is becoming an average users go-go phone,instead of it being more developer friendly.
