lol i used a g5 before and i had complaints with the battery

i used the g6 and never had complaints with the battery, i think with facebook messengers update, its taking a lot out of the battery, 3300 mah is always better than 2800

check post from battert review, some are getting 8 hrs sot depending on how you use your phone
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] skyfox99:
I have G5 and G6 at the moment. Other than speaker earpiece being snafu, which is probably a disappointing one-off considering I'm the only one reporting it, the G6 is easily better in most categories, especially in battery life, than G5. I've screenshoted up tune in the real life section and have really tested battery life, having both simultaneously and one lasting longer than the other all the proof I need.

The camera definitely seemed sharper on the G5, I'll concede and am disappointed for sure, but the G6 camera being more software based I'm hoping a future update helps. The G6 camera isn't bad, but should've been way better by today's standard. Having used the G6 extensively, non stop for an entire day, and it not dying isn't something the G5 could ever do, but then again it has a spare battery ready to go so I never cared too much. So having a battery ready to pop in is a loss, but necessary for water resistance which a sweaty face could cause water damage on the G5 (literally happened to me)..

Not having an IR blaster stinks, but most people don't use it, we are the minority there so I understand the decision to exclude it, even if I don't like the decision.

Overall the G6 is an upgrade, and if the camera was where it should be, would have been a 100% win, but the camera lacking puts it about 85% upgrade over G5 since the camera is a great importance nowadays.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
"3300mah is always better than 2800" well thats so false, because it depends. For example a 2800mah battery on a 4" phone with 720p display is way better than 3300mah on a 6.2" phone with Quad HD display, also it depends on the cpu and gpu too, are they power hungry or not. It's not just about capacity.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] PHYCLOPSH:
Considering the 500mAH increase in battery capacity, with all things being similar, a simple calculation shows the G6 should be getting about 10hrs SOT to the G5's 7. That combined with the missing functions and the at-best-equivalent-camera aren't compelling me to upgrade at this time.

I hope the G7 fulfills LG's promises a whole lot better, or I may be forced to defect to Samsung (having solely used the LG G series phones since the original Optimus G aka G1).
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dinoypeter:
lol were talking about the same resolution and processor

anyway, it all comes to preference, i like my g6, and if u dont like then keep searching for the perfect phone, i found the perfect phone for me so i have no complaints :) i like the camera on the g6 better than the g5, its all preference
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
But not same screen size ;)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dinoypeter:
dude whatever, the s7 edge has a larger screen than the s7 but has better battery life

My bad it's probably my fault for mentioning Phone Arena, that's like stirring the sh*tpot. If there were a dumpster of the whole mobile world, it might be stamped PA.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] The Apostle:
You need to account for the larger screen.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rydsmith:
I really hate the "wait for an update" responses.

No, one should not wait for an update. If I paid $713 (the AT&T price) today, I should judge the phone today for that price, not what I might get later down the line.

I'm sorry but I find that excuse to be unacceptable and verging on fanboy.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] PHYCLOPSH:
You're right on the money (no pun intended). And if you're waiting for an update from AT&T to improve your device, move along. I have yet to receive an update from AT&T in the last decade that has made any of my phones better. They have caused boot-looping, damage (from overheating) and lowered battery life though, which only an insane person could call an "improvement".

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] skyfox99:
That's silly. Early adopters often pay to "test" the device. Expecting an update isn't outside the norm. but you pay the price to be "first" for almost anything. Do you expect your phone to not ever be supported with updates, ever?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] maruichan:
Ooooh, like what improvements?

I'm fairly happy with the LG G6 camera, but it definitely needs a little bit more shot planning than other cameras. The HDR could be be re-tuned a little bit as it is very sensitive when there are multi-light sources in a shot.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] StaticMoot:
My complaint was why go with a weaker shooter than the camera in the V20. I had the V20 and I could get some really good shots with that. Assuming the same software tuning, a 13mp camera just isn't going to get the same detail as a 20mp. It was just frustrating because even using the manual mode, it was still a challenge to get a decent photo of any sort of moving object. Really, to each their own though. I need a fast camera that can take good point and shoot photos since my main subject is photos of my kids. A fleshed out manual mode does me little to no good because by the time I have the shot set up, the scene has changed. Entirely anecdotal, but Samsung has done better for me in the point and shoot department. Hence why the G6 is going back. I tried for a full week and I just can't bring myself to love the thing.

YMMV
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] maruichan:
Pretty much, reviews have been all over the charts if you ask me when it comes to various aspects of the device. It's hard to say who is over-reacting and who isn't. For my use case, it's been fantastic, but I find that there are some types of shots that require too much "tweaking" and seems to be HDR working too hard. My Samsungs did great on auto, but they weren't as versatile in some areas and the wide angle lens is a great boon. The color accuracy is certainly more accurate with LG (though admittedly it makes the shots more boring sometimes).

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fix-this!:
its much faster than my v20, i actually really like it. definitly missing root but ill give it a few weeks and see what comes. i dont see any lag what so ever on my at&t model.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlackKnight23:
You cant base devices on benchmarks. Real world and benchmarks are different. Benchmarks iphones are awesome real world they are slow. Wait for two updates then retest by then they should workout most of the bugs.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisrj28:
I've been reading this thread since before I got the phone and I must say I'm very happy with it. Got the T-Mobile version on TMOUS. I was coming from a v20 and form factor, feel in the hand, appearance, functionality, all of it is better.

This phone is faster than my v20, looks much better, and takes better pictures. Compared to the TV remote Galaxy S8 I'm very happy with this. Battery has been good, it's been a long time since I've gotten 5 hours of SOT on a full days use. And this was the first day I had it.

Not having root sucks but overall I'm happy with this phone, just wanted to put a positive spin here cuz a lot of folks seem to be having a negative experience.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] echto:
I'm very happy with it for daily use and the battery life is great. I wish the camera was better, then again I may just be overly picky when it comes to that. I posted some pics over in the '...considering an s8?' forum. There are pics I've taken with the G6 and the V20. I can live with it for now.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Lol I dunno what iPhone you're using... Mine absolutely flies.

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

Blah screen? It is the top rated LCD of all time. I think it's fantastic personally.

Customisation I can understand, though that has become less and less of a concern for me these days.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] taphius:
Top rated spec wise (color accuracy), not everyone has same preferences for colors though. (iphones have great screens regardless)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
I can agree with you there but man, like you said, it is an awesome screen regardless. I have a nexus 6p as well and I actually prefer the iPhone screen. From a person who pretty much always loved amoled, they do a great job.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] taphius:
Indeed, I actually like LCD screens more than amoled for the most part. Love my huawei's panels. The G6 i just got is the first LG without banding or backlight bleed i've had in like 7 lg phones (multiple v20s, 1 v10 and a few g5's and g4s). This thing is pristine. Gets incredibly dark
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Srikar_NBK:
This phone is a laggy mess for me. It's turned out to be laggy even quicker than the V20. I switched from Samsung to LG hoping that LG doesn't have as a laggy janky mess that Samsung phones turn into after a few months of use. Nope, LG is equally bad as Samsung. Time to move to a One Plus phone
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
I haven't seen it in person yet but it looks great in review videos.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArborRes:
You may want to examine some of your apps that you are running as a potential source of your lagging experience. Both phones that you mentioned, V20 and G6, run very smoothly for me and my wife without any lag whatsoever. My previous recent Samsung phones, Note 7 and S7 didn't lag either.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] roosxter:
I love this thing. Mine is really snappy and almost works on my g5 case lol
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] roosxter:
Almost
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlackKnight23:
Iphone has a blah screen they were mostly yep screens until 7+ now its a 1080p screen. Screen on the G6 looks so much better. Data speed on my iphone compared to my android is slower. The Android always performed better with me in regards to data speed.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Lol I have my doubts, and reviews say otherwise...

Data speed on my iPhone kills my Nexus.

Anyway I can see you're a standard fanboy and iPhone hater so carry on, I used to be like that when I was still a kid.

I like both os's, I don't have some big allegiance to either.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlackKnight23:
Lol. I'm an android fan. I can see why some people are iOS fans. I just get tired of Apple releasing unfinished devices I.e. I purchased a MacBook pro and wasn't able to connect to internet until I down software updates to a usb drive amd installed them. I used to have iPhones then the iphone 4 issue with antenna and etc.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Lol I'm pretty sure you're just making things up at this point...

I'm a tech fan, that's about it. This is my first iPhone but there are things that are fantastic about both.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlackKnight23:
I agree with positives in both sides. And I'm not making up issues I had with my mac when it was new. I bought it directly through Apple online while serving in Iraq. When I got the computer it would not connect to Wi-Fi at all (which is all we had) I had to download files to my work computer and use a thumb drive just to make it work.

Like I said I can see good about both. Apple fully controls their devices completely thus faster updates to all. Some people don't understand about Android is developed by google based off Nexus now Pixel devices and manufactures has to tweak this to work on their devices. And the manufactures are the reasons for delays plus most use terrible skins. LG and Samsung has been making positive moves towards slimming this down. I just prefer the integration that Android has over apple. I.e. I can directly share pictures from apps to any app on my phone without having to download.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
I've been on android since 2008, most of my phones have been nexuses (nexii? Lol). I love android but there are things I've grown tired of.

Random battery drain, UI lag, lack of updates unless you have a nexus (and tbh until the 6p they were pretty subpar phones). I'm bored of constantly tweaking my device and just want something that works well consistently without compromise.

I juggle back and forth between android and iPhone these days. I wish I could combine them, though honestly they seem to be getting closer and closer in many ways.

Also, I've owned macbooks and never had to even install drivers before, so can't relate to what you're saying at all.

You can share with any app now, and can also drag and drop.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlackKnight23:
It wasn't a driver it was some software patches they had released. This was in 2010. I was just annoyed a new product from the box didn't work.

It would be nice if they collaborated on just one device. I bet it would outsell everything. Lol
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] donwhall70:
Picked up one from the local T-Mo store yesterday. I'm not exactly sure what to think about it at this point. Most of the time it seems to run buttery smooth and then it starts to lag for a bit, especially when switching apps. I pick up my 6P and it seems to run much smoother than this thing does. Not sure if I should just return it or wait to see what patches will do. Having a V10 on a patch level from last year doesn't give me optimism as to if LG will keep this thing updated. As far as the hardware and design, I love it... Any other device would have been returned instantly. I guess I will give it a couple weeks and see how it goes.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ted presley:
A little hesitation when I first saw this thread. But as I'm so fed up with Samsung touchwiz framework (it's not slow, but have weird lags happening occasionally for non-Samsung software, for example Gkeyboard is not smooth at all for whatever versions, while Samsung keyboard is much better).

I did try all newest stuffs from Samsung to see any improvement, but it's not. Try the latest android 7.0, try the new Samsung Experience launcher...nothing help...

Another thing that pushed me is AMOLED screen, I don't know whatever high rating it gets, the yellowish white color annoys me too much (Taking photo is one of my hobbies). I hate iPhone, but its white point suits my liking.

I decided to give up the 4000 mAh battery of S7 Active to get a smoother experience and nice white color screen. And G6 doesn't make me disappointed, very happy right now, only wish the battery is bigger :D.

BTW, for all who give the lagging comments, you should update to latest OTA and let things settles down on your phone for a while (contact restore, email sync, applications sync). Everything will be better than from there.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] suhridkhan:
Agree, it's pretty normal for android phones to occasionally lag the first couple days. The phone has to install many apps, sync data and build cache for those apps. If it lags after that then there is obviously an issue.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] donwhall70:
I think my biggest problem is how high I raise my expectations. In reality, there isn't that great of a difference between the 810 and 821. I should be able to deal with the performance of this device. The only real issue I have is the auto brightness Grey's out the slider when enabled so I can't set a baseline. At night, the thing literally goes down to zero. I've looked around and it seems as though the T-Mo version is the only one that has this.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] suhridkhan:
Coming from Nexus 6p, you actually won't see much of a performance improvement, at least not on speed. But 821 is much more efficient. My 6p always used to get pretty warm, I don't know if the situation got any better with Nougat.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ted presley:
I have the same feelling about heating, my G6 is cooler than S7 Active while I'm using LTE connection for few hours. It's still warm a bit, but slightly cooler than S7 and G5 as well.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] BuLLeT_PrOOf_wAlleTz:
User error!! Don't let apps run wild draining battery in the background. Use greenify. And if your constantly on it. It will drain!

I used the phone pretty heavy, messaging calls, little Gps, alot of you tube, Pandora while on Bluetooth...And etc.

And still had like 27% around 11:00pm at night. And phone been off the charger since 6am.

All good over here.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] B3501:
Once again LG have failed with their G flagship. Horrible experience in a phone. What a shame.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ted presley:
Just curious, Did/do you own a LG G6? Or even a G5?

I don't want to be impolite, but I think that's better if we try and evaluate things before giving our own opinion. It helps others.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] donwhall70:
3 days in and I'm not seeing much improvement. I put it side by side with my 6P and the performance difference is fairly noticable at times. Maybe it is the difference between 7.0 and 7.1.1? Battery life is a bit better with the G6 though. I am torn at this point as I love the feel of this phone over my 6P. Guess I need to decide which is more important. Decisions decisions lol
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ted presley:
I think the performance is not really a big jump because:

- I believe Google phones are always smother than any other Android phones due to better software optimizing.

- Snap 821 is more for power efficiency improvement than really big jump in term of performanceI

- Yes, I think 7.1.1 is a smoother Android version than 7.0 (Google have mentioned something about touch latency decrease​ in 7.1 and later version)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Theboots39:
I just traded in my v20 for the g6. I like the g6 way better so far. I had some issues with my v20 I just couldn't get past. The g6 feels better in hand and is quicker. I love my g6 so far and I'm glad I made the switch.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisrj28:
I have had the exact same experience. The V20 seriously annoyed me and I liked the G6 from the moment I saw one at the store.

Battery life is cool, phone is nice and fast, takes good pics. All around great experience. Couple things I wish it had but they aren't deal breakers
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
Curious what the issues you had with the V20 are.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Theboots39:
Had to restart multiple times a day for everything to work properly. Some apps wouldn't open, Google sometimes wouldn't even work. Just had some serious glitches that I never has a problem with on any other phone. I had the v10 before the v20 and had a great experience with v10 so I figured v20 would be even better. I was wrong. I like the g6 much better so far. No issues with it as of yet.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
Interesting. Mine seems to be working fairly well, though I wouldn't mind the better wide angle camera on the G6.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlackKnight23:
Mine works great as well. I pre-ordered it and had it since next day after pre-order. I want to say almost two months now. The last update from T-Mobile smoothed out performance.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] REN3G8:
I've had mine running Nova Prime from day 1, so far I don't experience any lag... can't say much about the stock LG UI, the day that I used it I thought it was ok, did not experience unnecessary lag, and the update brought back the app drawer... but I'm used to Nova so to the back of the app drawer the stock UI went. :)

And yes, the phone is running great... pretty quick so far and much better looking than my previous phone, I have a UAG case on it and even with that, it fits and feels great in the hand.
