Was in a Nexus 5 since 2013 (i guess?). Would Not have switched if my Power Button did not break down. Was really satisfied with my Nexus an the (still excellent) Rom development. I mainly switched to the G6 because i thought they did an as good as Job with it as with the Nexus 5. Well i thought wrong. After only 2 weeks my camera glass cracked out of nowhere. Repaired it myself as LG said it was my fault. In retrospective i think i would go for a s8 or a p10.

Came from a s7 edge. G6 has excellent build quality, better battery, slightly worst camera. Overall very satisfied.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cheatman97:
I had an LG G2 for more than 3 years, and I am just as satisfied with my G6 as I was with that. Quality, premium phones. I hope they'll have longer support for this phone, not only 1 and a half years, so we'll get future android versions as well. I kind of solved this problem on my G2 by installing the Lineage Nougat ROM, but since it's AOSP based, the camera was really bad, to be honest. Now I'm staying on stock based firmwares as long as possible.

I just get the LG G6 yesterday, I using S8+ previously.

My 1st impression on LG G6 after switching from Samsung Galaxy S8+

S8+ the only win is the much appealing screen. Not means the G6 screen is bad, just it still slightly loose to S8+.

But G6 wins down others especially the phone smoothness, the very stunning Quad DAC sound output, this is the best sound quality I ever heard from a mobile phone, and off course the very cool and awesome Wide Angle Camera.

I'm coming too from a G4!

Was a great phone, but the battery life - I was getting maybe 1/2 of a day (2h30m SOT) - absolutely made me make the change, not to mention sometimes it turned off itself, especially when trying to take pics (the exact moment when I pressed the shutter button). Luckily my G4 is still under warranty, I'll go to the store to see what they can do. If they can fix this I'll sell it.

The G6 is a great phone, it smashes the G4 in many aspects, specially the screen and the battery life. Things I miss? IR and notification LED. C'mon LG, AOD on a LED screen?

Sony Xperia Z3, after 2 years and 6 month, suddenly it started to heat and being unbelievable laggy.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Seronez:
my best friend destroyed my s4 in a bar accidentially so I got his Z3 for compensation but lost it in a bus so I bought the phone with best price/value ratio H870DS 375€ and am happy so far no root is a bummer but I got alternatives for adaway and modded youtube etc. so only thing I'm really missing is viper audio processing.

A bootlooped Nexus 5X (before that the Nexus 5, Galaxy Nexus...yes. I'm a Nexus guy).

I'm fine with my new G6. I've had it for a month.

I was afraid I couldn't handle the LG software (or any type of customization actually), but I was wrong. I like the LG UI and all the small details are actually pretty useful. I'm talking about:

- double-tap to wake: once you try it, you'll no longer buy a phone that doesn't have it.

- Always on display: way better than the led. Hands down.

- the wide-angle camera: crucially important.

- display: wow!

- radio fm!!!

- LG sound effects: yes, "the small details"

What I dislike:

- Bloatware. They suck. Very much.

- Battery: from a 3300 mAh I expected more. It's fine but you get 4 hours of SOT. I hate the stanby drain though (1% per-hour even with always-on off.)

Very very good hardware for a long time.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] TedGrassman:
Motorola Moto G (1st gen), almost 4 years of duty.

So yeah it's a pretty big step-up! (both in price range and performance)

The main reasons leading me to change:

- Networking: no 4G, WiFi ac or NFC on my Moto

- Disastrous camera quality on the Moto. The LG G6 does a very good job, and I love the wide-angle camera. Front camera is quite disappointing though.

- Aging battery (was starting to have sudden drops). On this point, I must say I'm a bit disappointed too. You won't get much more than 4 hours of SoT with the G6. The drain with screen off is also non-negligeable. I sometimes struggle to finish a long day. But I work in a place where the mobile signal is very weak, so that might not help.

But overall I'm delighted with the G6. Performance is good, UI surprisingly so too, rear camera is really good. And that display and design are really amazing :D

Hey guys!!

Coming from Nexus6P (under Videotron in Montreal/Canada) to LG G6. I just got it yesterday as I had an amazing Promo deal (didn't a dime for the phone etc...plus a Free LG Gpad tablet). Overall I wanted to get the LG V30 but unfortunately this time the career Videotron decided to get exclusively the new Google Pixel 2 & XL instead of the V30 which I find really sucks and bad judgement from Videotron Marketing people.

When I went yesterday I also had an amaaazing offer to get the Note 8 and we know that the Note8 is top notch in terms of Camera but that Wide Angle from the G6 to V30 is simply unbeatable. I don't know if the Note8 has a Wide-Anlge lense like the G6 or V30. Honestly that s the MAIN reason I didn't take the NOTE8 because other than that, Note8 has expandable storage/fast charge etc.. etc.. plus the Stylus. And I think Samsung gets OS updates faster than LG phones.

But yeees coming from Nexus6P after 3 years of using, Battery starts draining too fast so I had to update.

But I must say LG G6 is a pure beauty, the Screen wooooooow and that Wide Angle lens as I take a lot of pics, is simply amaaaazing. And the manual Mode in LG from what I've seen is unbeatable.

Very happy with my LG only thing is sucks we can NOT get Google Dialer phone installed and there's no Root way yet for G6. Hopefully Oreo 8 gets pushed before 2018 new year ;)

Cheers ;)

Windows Lumia 950 (LOVED IT) > Blackberry KeyONE > LG G6

To be honest, I'd still be using my Blackberry if it were possible. Unfortunately, I got one of the first ones in the US and the screen fell out. I ended up returning for a refund because I refused to use a phone who's screen falls out so easily (let alone at all). I purchased the LG G6 because it had better specs and was cheaper by $50. I would have bought another Blackberry KeyONE, but the fixed units were not out until over a month later. :(

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] officialmy:
You did well mate, great choice you did as I'm also very happy with the LG G6. The screen is simply stunning and the camera as well. Even though I do myself love Pure Android, I installed Nova Launcher and done with it.

Only thing I'm struggling is that so far LG's phone from what I read are very hard to ROOT. All my Nexus phones I have always been rooted so I can install whatever I feel like. This time after getting the LG G6 and starting to install my apps, I noticed that Instagram came already installed and I can NOT seem to UN-UNINSTALL IT completely so I can go and install Instagram + mods version. But everytime I try to install other Instagram MOds, I get a message saying that the app can not be installed because another app already installed. Thats the only thing I really don't like not running full Pure Android.

But I guess can't have it all ;)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Andrewp87:
I'm coming from LG G3 after it served me for 3 years. I was waiting another phone like G3 all this time. QuadHD display, good user experience (maybe not the fastest phone), reasonable price and doesn't have any major issue like bootloop or screen issue.

I just got my G6 today and so far I use it today, It amazes me, it gives me same feeling when I got my G3 3 years ago. Even more I think, battery so much improved (one of G3 weakness) and no more heating problem. So I think I will have another 3 years to be a LG customer again :)

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Melissakis:
I'm coming form Samsung Note 4.

I kept it for almost 4 years, I just couldn't part with the replaceable battery and the S-pen. But looking the way the Notes follow (ultra long and narrow, edge screens), I decided that enough is enough.

I really miss the S-pen, but that's another topic I'll open. On the other hand I love the sound quality, the small footprint and the FM radio. Incredibly good phone.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] NovaViper:
I can from the Samsung S6 Edge.. and honestly, I love my LG G6 WAY better than the S6. For one thing, Sprint with the S6 was terrible, so the LG G6 is under AT&T (much, much better than Sprint). Now, as for the devices, the LG G6 runs much smoother (and has an expandable storage) aswell as not having lots of bloatware. The LG G6 is alot bigger aswell, and it has that more vanilla look I've wanted for a while. ALSO, this was a key reason why I wanted to switch so bad: my S6 was rooted and I accidentally took out Knox, so everything started going nuts on that phone, I had such a hard time running certain apps because of Knox AND SafetyNet being voided. Overall, I really enjoy the phone, a nice step up from my janky S6. :good:

It's been a while since I've been on Android, went from an old Samsung phone with keypad (mind you, this was 2013-14 haha), then on to an used Galaxy S3 from a family member, then I went rogue and bought 2 iPhones (5 and 5S). Was given the choice between a 6S and an LG G6, so here I am.

Gotta say I really love this phone and how well Android has developed over the past few years.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ZareliMan:
I was extremely happy with my LG G2. Tried to replace it with a Moto G4 but it felt like a downgrade. I think I will buy the LG G6 but I'm not sure since local retailers are terrible at communicating the specific model number and I can't know if it has the Quad DAC (which is must have for me).
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] WWHDilyass:
I regret selling my 3t to get this g6. If you are on xda and like all the rom development stuff then g6 is NOT the answer you're looking for.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] temporarium:
Just curious, what about the LineageOS, Fulmics and RR ROMs? I'm sure there are others. I'm sure these developers merge the security updates more frequently than LG.

I know many want Oreo on their device. IMHO, Oreo is like Windows 10 - still being tested on users and under development. I prefer to stick to something stable, customizable and under my controln - a la Windows 7. MM 7.1.2 with Xposed fits the bill.

The fact that the LG6 is unlocked (if you buy the right model) at least makes it possible root and modify via Xposed, no? Or, you could cook your own ROM and contribute?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] two_handed:
My thoughts exactly. There are lots of phones/manufacturors (Huawei or Samsung of course) which make it a lot harder for devs to develop Custom ROMs.

A fully supported (even with encryption) LineageOS is a good sign for possibilities to get and develop custom ROMs.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ZareliMan:
Currently only 2 models of the G6 can be unlocked. And that versions can only be bought in the US or in Europe. So unless you live there, you would have to pay for shipping, wait weeks and hope it doesn't arrive broken (because you would have to send it back for warranty). So no, the LG G6 is not really an unlocked device.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] WWHDilyass:
Fulmics development stopped. Lineage still has bugs and rr development kinda stopped but now the developer is saying he's back so we'll see. If you ever had a nexus 5 you'll never know what a rich xda development forum is.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] temporarium:
I know we're off topic, but these days it seems you have two choices: either you have a fully unlocked and developer-friendly device, or a device that's well designed and with great hardware (at a reasonable price) - a bit difficult to get both in one :(
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] WWHDilyass:
True
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tilman:
Bought the G6 a month ago, coming from Z5 Premium, & been using Sony since the Ericsson days, but the G6 has me surprised, a great phone overall. With every update, Sony ruined the battery life on Z5P, the 4K screen was meh, & camera, lol, no manual controls, corner softening, & a bit distortion in the only primary lens itself. And the speakers weren't on par considering the huge bezels.

The G6, I have no complaints whatsoever, the battery life for me is stunning, and switching mobile data between SIMs is easy, with the Sony it would restart twice.

The only thing that I miss is the ability to unlock bootloader, & root, Xperias are pretty easy with that.

Hi. Bought my G6 a week ago. Coming from S7e (mainboard failed). I`m definitely not missing the samsung. The G6 is great, the camera is better (I love the wide angle camera), smooth UI (but I`m experiencing some microlag in very simple games like Sudoku for some reason), the only thing that is not so good is the battery life.

1. Samsung Galaxy S2

- my first Android phone. Quite decent device in its time

2. Sony Xperia Z1 Compact

- wanted better camera. I was very happy with it until...

3. Sony Xperia Z5 Compact

- heard that it has manual camera controls. Was disappointed on very first day because it did not allow full 23 Mpix resolution for 3rd party cameras. And it actually did not have full manual controls for camera. So started looking for better alternative

4. OnePlus 2

- very good camera compared to even Z5C, but further photo tests showed quite nasty watercolor effect in certain situations

5. LG G6

- LG stock camera app in latest V11G update is very good (I got that update on the same day I bought the device). One drawback is that my favorite 3rd party camera app Open Camera lacks touch metering in this device. So I have to learn to use either LG camera or try to find best settings for Google Camera HDR+ port.

Asus zenfone 2 then asus zenfone 3........I'm not really into flagship phones...As long as the phone I have can play most games at moderate settings, I'm good.....I was not planning on getting the G6 because I try to avoid buying flagships as much as possible(I don't use a lot of the features).....The only reason I got the G6 is because my local carrier offered me a great deal for the G6($190 if converted from local currency)....My monthly payments did not increase so this is a deal that I just cannot pass....Turns out, my carrier is already trying to let go of their remaining G6 stocks....

So far, no regrets....I'm still not a flagship fan but I can see why a lot of people are saying good things about this phone...
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fegitoli:
Interesting. My carrier was doing something similar with their G6 stock and I got mine for $100 down.

The phone is pretty good overall, but there's still a handful of problems from my experience. From the top of my head, in terms of problems, the G6's camera is iffy, the headphone jack is at the top (a problem because it's a tall phone and personal preference), the battery life isn't so good and performance isn't the greatest until you delete a lot of bloatware. Still, somehow, not a bad phone. There are clearly better options though.
