I came from a Huawai Mate 9.

The G6 is in most things better but the Update interval by the G6 is very poor!

By my MAte 9 i become every 1 -2 month Security Updates

Actually, we've been consistently getting security updates since before around November. The Oreo update is coming this February so expect the latest security patches along with it.

From an iPhone SE. Loved that little phone, was good in every way except the screen size.

The G6 is a solid phone, if it had an amoled screen i would like it even more. But the screen is great nonetheless.

Got the silver one, one of the most beautiful phones out there imo.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] morrga:
The phone I was using prior to the G6 was a Nubia Z11. IT was also a very nice device with good specs. But I had two essential issuses:

- I generally use phone with an officially supported custom ROM and root, but the Mokee support for the Nubia Z11 was stopped in August last year

- The camera stopped focussing

I'm using the G6 with TWRP 3.2.1 and LOS 14.1 and it's absolutly performing well. Updates are coming at least once per month. The only current restrictions are: no encyption and no nandroid backups. But this will soon be solved.

The G6 is a wonderful and powerful device with very usable proportions and features (SD-card slot, dual SIM, IP67, dual camera) so that I think, I will stay with it for quite some time.

(My device history: Samsung Galaxy, HTC Desire, Galaxy Nexus, Fairphone I, Oneplus One, Sony Z5c, Nubia Z11, G6)

I come from a Xiaomi Mi Note 2, which I loved!! It had 22Mpx camera but it wasn't that great... amazing space for cropping, that's true, but nothing special... I came to the G6 because of the special Wide Angle lens... BUT I got the 2.09mm version so it's really annoying... lol

I had an LG G2 in 2014-2015 and rocked an old Nexus 5 until now. I hope I don't end up missing stock android.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] eksasol:
I had iPhone 7, but was bored with it and missed the headphone jack. Then LG G6 and sold it promptly. Then I went to Note 5 which I loved, but gave away to a family member. Then I went with the Snapdragon version of S7 Edge, which was the worst phone I ever used, difficult to hold, always touching the screen by accident, very laggy, overheating and throttling all the time, even after disabling the bloatwares.

Now I just purchased the G6 a second time. My needs are different now and I don't spend time reading and watching smartphone stuff anymore. I just need a solid all around phone. I almost went with the first gen Pixel for the headphone jack and camera., but I felt the G6 hardware is better and probably will last longer. Also the fact that it's not curved screen which is a major deciding factor.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sp_1st_timer:
I'm coming from the original HTC One (rooted), and I loved a lot of things about which includes the following:

1) I can listen to local FM radio stations (does not use up data), which I do daily while at work.

2) The stock email app is simple, secure, fast, no syncing issues, and uses less data by allowing me to sync only when I'm checking for new emails.

3) Using the side buttons (volume keys) is the most convenient and quick way to wake the screen (instead of the power button) for checking the time or presence of notifications.

4) Watching a Youtube video on this phone sounds like it's coming from a laptop. That's how clear the sound is coming from its built-in speakers.

5) Battery lasts for 2 days before I would need to re-charge it again. I have not heard of any other phone which can still do that after 5 years of use.

6) I can use it as my remote control for my TV/Cable when somebody at home misplaces the regular remote.

The following are the only reasons I thought of replacing it:

1) The dreaded purple tint when using the camera under low-light

2) Its software version is vulnerable to certain MMS exploits, making me hesitate to download any MMS coming from anybody.

3) It's not water resistant.

The first 2 candidates to replace my HTC One:

1) Sone Xperia X -- But it overheats when recording videos, and has annoying vibrations when using the built-in speaker. So I gave it away.

2) LG V30+ -- Would have been my next phone I would not replace in 5 years, but cancelled my order after realizing the US version cannot be rooted.

I ended up with the G6, because it has FM radio, can be rooted, and it's not that "S" brand I'm personally boycotting for stiffing me out of a warranty service (RANT WARNING: They may have saved 50 dollars by not providing me warranty service for a product which had become faulty due to their faulty firmware, but they have lost hundreds of millions of dollars via flaming battery plague).
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] SeZ87:
Coming from a Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 which I loved the design and form factor of, which also would have been good enough for me performance wise, but I didn't take into account how much more space Android requires since recently, rendering the phone useless after a couple of months because as soon as the storage would get full, it would slow down and start malfunctioning. Samsung also made it impossible to integrate micro sd as internal storage, making me question which genius thought it would be a good idea to even release a phone with 16GB storage in 2017.

After looking for a while and comparing I decided to get the LG G6 because it's super cheap (and I don't like spending a lot of money on - let's be honest here - overpriced electronics. So far I like it, although rooting it presented quite a bit of issues, also I still have to get used to the fingerprint reader being the power button. Whatever you do - don't get a flip case for this phone, it's a nightmare to handle the power button with it, I received mine with a case included.

I really do miss the small form factor of the A3 2017 though, before that I had the Xperia Z3 compact which fell apart on its own after normal and case protected use. I want to avoid buying phones from Sony and Samsung in the future.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] J-Zzz:
Vivo XShot. Had it about close to 3 years. It's similar to LG G6 in terms of specs even though it's a 2014 phone. HiFi DAC, 13 MP camera with f1.8 aperture and Snapdragon 801 processor etc. It had a few overall problems in terms of useability but it was still a great phone. Recently the screen started acting up with ghosting on the bottom half of the screen (it's a LCD screen so no idea why it happened). That half eventually blacked out completely so got the LG G6.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] SkilesAwaRz:
Hi, do you think guys that the g6 can replace my honor 7 ? Is it worth for 370€ ?

I like the idea of having a 5.7 screen with a 5.2 body size (also like huawei p9 lite and xiaomi redmi 5).

I'm just a bit worried about the updates... (as happened with my h7, only 1 major update).

I can afford not having official updates (e.g. installing LOS), but is this really usable for a day-to-day usage ?

Also, p9 lite has treble support (really good for long time updates) and redmi 5 has miui and will have big community. But both are really bad photophones.

What are your thoughs ?

Thanks!

My G6 is on the way. Coming from legendary Oneplus One, have it for 3 years and I think it's time to change. After 3 years of use I still manage to get 4-5 SoT, so hopefully won't be disappointed with LG.

Main reasons to move: camera, IP68 and nicer form factor.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] cory733:
Nexus 6p.

No battery issues on mine and I bought it used off Swappa a year ago. Must have been a fresh replacement. The 6p feels like a tablet compared to the G6. I hate it's huge bezels and lack of a micro sd slot. The G6 (US997) seems to be the only rootable, unlockable modern phone with an SD card slot available for T-Mobile/Straighttalk.

Each have their pros and cons,

The Nexus has obviously better speakers, charges much faster (G6 won't even fast charge from USB C to USB C), more storage (64 vs 32), and way more development.

The G6 fingerprint unlocks faster, and has an SD slot, small bezels, actually fits comfortably in my pocket, has FM Radio (which I'll never use but I like that it's available), waterproof, wide angle camera, etc.

It's too bad there isn't more development for this phone.

From the Huawei Honor 8 64GB model that I used heavily for a year and sadly busted the display.

So far, a week with the G6 that I really wanted to love has been very tough. I haven't found my love for this phone yet. I believe I'm going to sell it off and fix the Honor 8 and switch back to it.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] brutal_noise:
From Xperia Z. It served me well for 5 years. So far I love the G6 - it looks the part, the camera is decent, it's fast enough and with the help of Nova launcher UI looks sweet as well. The only thing that's missing is the Oreo update, but I'm used to delayed updates anyway.

Sony Xperia ##?

HTC M8s

Galaxy S7 Edge (pink line issue after a few days) => sent back

LG G6 with 2.09 lens (pics not sharp with wide angle cam) => sent back

LG G6 with 2.01 lens

I have compared Super AMOLED of the S7 Edge with IPS of LG G6.

The Super AMOLED screen is amazing, but only if brightness is not low.

When low (eg. in order to save battery), the white color becomes pinkish... so weird !

The IPS screen is very good with low or high brightness.

I also compared the pics taken with my S7 edge and the LG G6.

The LG G6 photos are much better in my opinion, and even better with the ported Google Cam.

And also I prefer flat screen rather than curved screen.

Normally, I'm on a three-year replacement cycle. I got the LG G6 for free when a family member got one last spring on a BOGO from T-Mobile. While I'm happier with the G6 than the S7, I'll be giving the S10/10+ a close look when they come out next year. (That will be c. three years since I got my S7.)

I had an LG G5 wich was amazing, then got an Xperia XZ, then got an LG G6 (Silver) then got an XZ1 (best phone I've ever had), then I was in desperate need of money and sold it for $500 and got my 2nd LG G6(black) for around $300.

I hate that the phone overheats so much, and the gaming performance is mediocre to say the least, cant even keep 60fps in battlelands royale a top-down shooter, pubg mobile is unplayable even in the lowest settings, while on my XZ1 it was a gaming beast. I plan to sell and either get a Pocophone F1, an LG G7 , or a OnePlus6, whichever is cheaper when I get the money.

HTC 10

I think the G6 is a better phone, it seems to have everything stock that I need.

I have 64gb quad-dac version.

1. The headphone socket is picky on what works, I've found that only 4 pin 3.5mm jacks work.

2. As I can't unlock the bootloader (yet), I can't instal Ainur audio Mod. On the HTC10 it was brilliant. G6 audio probably on par with the HTC10 without audio mod.

I haven't used my 8525 for several months because I upgraded to an 8925. I'd like to re-flash my 8525 to the latest AT&T branded 3.62 ROM before I sell it, but I don't want to overwrite the IPL / SPL (currently at

(IPL 1.04, SPL 2.10.Olipro).

Has anyone cooked a bland ROM to have the exact AT&T 3.62 and maybe even the latest radio, but purposefully excluded the IPL / SPL?

I don't want to step up to the stock AT&T ROM and have to SIM unlock the phone again unless I really have to. Of course, if upgrading and then running pof's version v3a SIM & CID unlocker is the simplest method, I guess I don't mind. Just not sure which way to go or if anyone's tried the unlocker on such the most recent stock ROM. The last thing I want to do is make this process harder.

Any advice is appreciated!

Any 7+ custom has nothing from stock Nougat. You are safe.

After restore - you need also stock recovery if you want update to nougat.

For stock remember:

OTA update is only for full stock firmware.

After downgrade any ota update can end with hard brick.
