I've owned a Optimus G Pro, G2, G3, and gf had a G3 Vigor and it didn't slow down or was "heavy" on any of those devices. It being ugly and too bright is all opinion. Thankfully launchers and icon packs are a thing.
its my favorite Ui compared to Samsung its like weight and more useful. I don't agree. i also wish they upped the cpu. i do agree they only needed one camera in the front the wide 120 angle one. i also wish it had front firing speakers
From just this video I already like it way way more then Samsung pretty close to stock kit Kat way nicer then touch wiz I replaced my up on. My note 4 the first day I got it.
Nin Ja without insulted please .Do not judge by my name and surname, I am from French, where I was born. .I do not troll, and does not bind to only one brand when purchasing a phone. I write from experience with various phone which I had. Samsung has among the worst UI due to poor touchfiz and cramped bloatware and bad ram Menagment. and it is true now, as you can not accept it, that's for another story
V Madari yes because when people talk about phones they get really angry but it is a fact that some people think lg ui is bad but others think it is good like me
i liked your review and didn't like it at the same time. Can't explain. You seem to have a bias in your opinion. You don't like LG but you reviewed it as so. LG's UI is very nice. Not sure if you were the right man for the job.
+Snazzy Labs right.. but why even get a device if you really don't like it. I would NEVER review a windows phone because i hate them. for you to say "a new weird smartphone?" that says alot about you.
+Snazzy Labs right.. but why even get a device if you really don't like it. I would NEVER review a windows phone because i hate them. for you to say "a new weird smartphone?" that says alot about you.
+Jason Rutibager I love LG's hardware. I'm just not a fan of the interface. I review phones. It's my job. I see the best and worst of all smartphones and I publish videos based on my opinion. Many people review. Many reviews are similar. Many reviews are different. They're all opinion based. What I think is good, you may think isn't-and vice versa. P.S., I said "weird" meaning that it's a peculiar device. No other phone has had two front facing cameras and two screens. It's odd. It's peculiar. It's weird. Weird doesn't mean it's bad. It means it's different.
I still don't understand why people don't buy Sony phones. they have the glass build of Samsung's new phones, dual speakers, waterproofing, and great software. along with awesome battery life. 6 hours screen on time on my Z2.
+Stephen Butler It costs twice as much as the Nexus 6p. $1000 for a phone is horseshit. In 2 to 3 months phones with a newer, more powerful, more efficient, processor will be on the market for like $800 I bet.
that little speed test toward the end was impressive. It opens up apps almost instantly. I think it's a good phone and it is one I may pick up after the new year.
I love the UI on the LG phones, their perfect especially the IR blaster how you can change rooms just through the notification panel and when my volume button wasn't working I could change the volume straight through the notification... Yeah it is heavy but soo useful but hey we all have opinions I guess 👍 great review though!
I have had this phone for about 5 months now, and I must say, it is, hands down, the best phone I've ever had. The 64GB of internal storage is more than enough for me, but the added SD slot is nice to have. My games run smoothly and look incredible on the large screen. The overall screen resolution is just incredible. When paired with the great cameras, my pictures and videos look so sharp. This allowed me to get a lot of great pictures of my sister's wedding. The battery does tend to die out rather quickly, but the quick charge plug and replaceable battery are more than enough to balance that out. For sheer performance, this phone cannot currently be beaten. The sturdy build does it's job as I've inadvertently dropped it a few times with only minor cosmetic damage. This prompted me to find a good case to augment the sturdy build of the device. I went with a Zizo case which is not only tested to meet military standards, but, also fits my style quite well. Overall, a modern masterpiece. 5/5 stars.
I hope people don't expect this thing to be cheap. Although, I think by now LG knows it can't go too high on prices because people won't buy it. The G4 this learned a lot in the price area
this is the first video I watched of yours, as i own the g3 and am getting the v10 as soon as it comes to Verizon. I just would like to say that this video is amazing. You said everything I wanted to know about, and no extra crap. great job, you deserve more viewers and I think you will get there soon!
A happy user and an excellent phone. Some improvements we would all like to see to make it the Ultimate phone are: -water proof -include headphone for U.S. carriers -Dual front facing speakers -OLED Display -thinner -Metalic color tone Logo for a premium appeal LG should not remove any hardware or software from the correct design. Please don't create a failed product like the LG G5. This phone is the best phone I've own, and it's the first LG phone I've ever own. I've been switching people to LG. Keep it up. can't wait to see if any of those things mentioned above will be included in the future upgrade model.
The software, including the icons, are and have been for me, among the best features of this phone. They are clean, modern and don't resemble cartoon or an old version of windows and the software works for me! So you're wrong, not everybody shares your opinion. But, where I do agree with you is the camera is exceptional and the colors true to life.
It's a 5,7 screen!! Why is everyone complaining about the secondary screen being a issue. You should know that this size device is not for one hand use.
I've had this phone for two weeks and I love it more each day. I wish that this review had been done after a little more time with the phone. I'll look forward to the full review. I use the second screen more than anything else. It was unexpected that I'd love it as much as I do. Also it's great that I never have to plug in the phone or charge it because putting in a fully charged battery eliminates any waiting or inconvenience. Quick and wireless charging will never be able to be faster than 60 seconds. Having this choice moved me from Samsung to LG. I'll always support being able to have more choices even if those choices aren't relevant to me at the time. It took me about a week to get used to the bigger size and now I'll probably never go back to a smaller size. After messing around with my friends galaxy note 5 I like my V10 way better and this is after being with Samsung for four years. I love love love this phone! It's always great to be pleasantly surprised.
I just want to comment on the second screen and it's usage with one hand. The reason the grip on the phone is so good, is so you can just nudge the phone up in your hand from resting on your palm, to resting on your fingers while you use your thumb to control the second screen. You can flawlessly make this move since the rubberized back makes it harder for the phone to slip.
+TheLast2nd Also, the toggles on your second screen when the phone is locked is for your protection. I have a password and a fingerprint lock. So when my phone's off, although it's shitty that I can't make any calls or open any apps right away, it's mainly so other people can't access your top contacts or open your recently viewed apps. Should the option be there, with you being able to "Unlock before you call/open an app"? Yes. But considering LG comes out with a new phone every 3 months, they don't really give their developers enough time to really think everything through. They should have an update on that soon.
Liked the review but the software comments are WAYYY off. After using Samsung phones for the last 5 years, this phone is a breath of fresh air. The software is SOOO much more stable. Haven't had any crashes or the stupid pop up asking me if I want pick Touchwiz Home or Touchwiz easy home! Also, doesn't use as much battery or resources and doesn't have as much garbage pre-installed in the phone itself and I have a T-Mobile version. Almost felt like a vanilla android phone. One thing I will add I wish this phone had, is touch gestures like the BalckBerry 10 phones and the HTC M8. Getting used to the buttons being in the back is kind of a pain and work in progress but the gestures would have made it much easier to adapt to. The screen is gorgeous, the camera almost flawless. The I hope they add IOS and 60fps using 4K for the next iteration, this would just be amazing! The fit and finish is amazing, about the only complaint I have are the buttons on the back which they REALLY need to add gestures in my opinion. If you've never used a BB10 phone or an M8 with the gestures, you're missing out on how much simpler it makes it using your device to wake it up and make it do other things. Finally the standard 64gb and 4gb RAM can't be beat for the price!
Hey man, just wanted to tell to that I discovered you few moments ago on Reddit and I must admit, you're great! Instant subscriber, hope you will make ton of new content. Stay snazzy and good luck mate!
It's a good thing it has nougat now, it looks exactly like the V20 and pretty similar to the G6 as well. Performance and battery life was also noticeably increased with nougat, I get about 20-30 minutes more SOT and apps load/close quicker and don't crash freeze or lag like with marshmallow.
good review, keep it up. Want to know more and more about the LGV 10. You suffer from the same delusion however, about OIS. OIS is a mechanical suspension of the lens in a cell phone camera and it is always on no matter what youre shooting. It is the software stabilization that is on or off during some modes because it's just too much for the processor to handle. Most cell phones are working so hard to film 4k video that they just cannot handle software image stabilization at the same time. The OIS, however, is always on.
I personally have used LG ,Samsung and Apple software and seem to like LG more then the other two ,I also think that removable battery is one of the coolest classic features of what an android should be.
I needed to hear that because i went upgrade my note 4 to the V10 and when I WENT TO THE STORE TO TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THAT DEVICE I was impressed with the camera and the video settings but was a bit troubled about the overall look of the phone. You hit it on the nose when you mentioned how bad LG Software is I agree with you 100 percent. I guess I WILL USE LESS LG FEATURES....I MIGHT NEED YOUR HELP WITH GETTING SITUATED WITH MY NEW PHONE IN A FEW DAYS
Completely agree with you, if the second screen were in the bottom, it would be perfect. IMO, It would have been better, one single front camera (the best of two) and a front flash led...
How can you say the LG UI is so bad and terrible when it looks just like all the major flagship devices except it's way smoother and damn near lag free! Second , the 808 is not a year old! The G4, which is only four, almost five months old, is the first phone and flagship to have it and worked closely with Qualcomm to optimize it! The v10 is the pro version of the G4 but shares almost everything hardware wise! The v10 added a few features but it's overall a bad ass device! Yes , it's your opinion but we want constructive criticism not bias rants! Thanks
why? why hate the UI? its awesome man. But i still love the older optimus UI. UX4.0 is not bad too. its really nice. the experience is brillant and easy
Nice video man. Have the S6 at present, but the battery life is killing me. Might look to upgrade given this is the only phone that can match the S6 camera without switching to the dark side. Interesting that you aren't a fan of the 2nd display, most other early previews have praised it as a pretty cool addition. What I do find odd is the decision to stick with the same battery as in the G4.
I have to disagree. I've had the phone for about four days now, and I think the second screen is genius. So many times where I've been on Facebook or browsing the Internet and was able to easily check text messages or e-mail with just one touch. It's great.
I love the latest LG UI. Last year I've switched from a Nexus 4 (the best experience I have ever saw from a phone) to an LG G Pro and.. the software was way ahead of Samsung's TW (in terms of performance) but.. it wasn't very good looking. Then bought a Note 4 and now A G4 and the new LG UX looks a lot better to me, comparing it with Sammys TW, design, speed and everything else.
I just purchased my Note 5 to get something different then my baby who has the Samsung Galaxy 6 curve ! Both heavy hitter phones and jump on demand plan we can keep up with the latest - Can't wait until the Note 6 curve in a few months ☆☆☆☆☆
I like LG's UI more than any other phone, including Samsung's crappy touchwiz. And the second screen is actually very useful and I like the placement of it.
just wanted to say i completely agree with you about LG's UI. it's functional for the most part, but not very pretty to look at. great hardware, but it's missing eye candy, and that may seem trivial but it's important when you're spending over $600 on something you're going to interact with every day.
4 to 4 and a half hours of on screen time? I thought my 9 hours was bad. As much as I love LG, I wish companies would focus more on AMAZING!!! battery life vs more HD in the screen. I still watch my videos in 480p.
Before I got my LG G4 about 2 months ago, I had a Note 4. TouchWiz is so laggy compared to LG UI. Yes, it's not as good looking and the menus are a bit weird, but it's MUCH quicker than TouchWiz, BY FAR. In fact, there's no comparison. This phone is super quick!! I'm not to fussed about the V10, because I find the 2nd screen implementation a bit strange. The screen should have been on the bottom or side. It's silly having it at the top. Also, it's bigger than the iPhone 6+. I think 5.5" for a screen size is about perfect. I'm more than happy with my G4. I don't feel gutted at all that the V10 is out. Nova and Moonshine icon pack, job done.
LG are smart not to put a lot of effort into the skin like Samsung. It's an Android the whole point is to clean the slate and customize to your liking with Nova, Multipicture Live Wall Paper and an icon pack of your liking. I'm not sure why people are in love with the look of stock Android, I find it very boring. You can have something much more creative similar to what the ColdFustion TH-camr does using creative photography and minimalist icons. The OIS not available on 4k should be a simple matter of an software update? If the second screen exists only to show battery life it's already paid for itself. I try to keep my batteries between 50-80% to extend cycles. This seems like the best phablet on hardware you can buy. A friend was pissed that the his newly acquired iPhone 6S does not have manual controls on video like the V10. LG is going for the jugular.
I love the LG G4 for the Leather Back and the LG V10, but I still have my G3 because it feels the best in my hands and can be rooted. With root I can flash CyanogenMod which will remove any signs of LG software and give me Stock Android with minor tweaks. It makes the phone feel much faster. That is why I still have my LG G3 on Verizon! The G4 has root and the V10 does not. NO CyanogenMod for either phone yet.
I have a LG G3, and you know what is the problems of this phone ? Software ! Yeah, launcher redraw and multitasking is not as good as it should because LG Rom are not fairly optimised ! Thatg why I'm running a ASOP Rom that make my G3 a real beast, however the battery life is quite bad (like 3h30 SO). I hope, one day, LG will totally rethink his software from A to Z, if it's the case, Samsung and other Android brands will have to clearly worried about LG a lot !
how is the LG software bad? The settings app looks almost exactly like my Note3, the notifications drop down does it's job just fine, and the icons are customizable to ANYTHING you want so how can those possibly be bad? Even if you dont' like them, change them.
Thanks for the great review. I have the Galaxy 5 and am about to upgrade. Do you think it's a bad idea so close to October maybe they'll come out with another version? I was leaning towards the V10 and I am just not happy with Samsung anymore. What do you think? um p.s. love the 'stache :)
This is a fantastic phone, but I'm gonna disable that second screen the second I'm done setting it up. Good thing it doesn't have the glare issues like Samsung's Edge phones.
Nice review! However I strongly disagree with your views on the LG UI, ever since the improvements from the G3 (I don't remember the UI version numbers) the LG UI has been remade, rebranded...reborn, and the one on the G4 has to be the absolute best. I haven't tested this V10 yet so I can't speak on that. I use to be a big fan of HTC's Sense UI and this is the only thing I can find that comfortably replaces that. I have always hated Samsung's Touchwhiz UX, but the Note 5's is the least laggy and cluttered of them all. The long and short of it is that I find the LG UI absolutely beautiful.
so basically put Nova on and it's the perfect phone? in using nova on my G3 and I agree that it is much better than LG's skin. in excited to get the V10 it's hands down the best phone out right now
LG G4... If you use nova launcher... You loose the capability of 'double tap to screen off' features disabled... Someone told to tap in notification areas but looks awful... LG needs to work on their icon department for sure... Stock Android icon might be game changers.... Another drawbacks in dual window the use of apps is limited.... LG's camera on G4 made me switch from Note 4 to it. Looking forward to more reviews on V10, soon.
Am I the only one who likes LG's UI? I find it a lot nicer to use than the likes of Touchwiz personally.
+Caedo nope. i don't find it too bad either.
It's a lighter TouchWiz imo. It's really ugly and way too bright, and also fairly heavy on the phone.
I've owned a Optimus G Pro, G2, G3, and gf had a G3 Vigor and it didn't slow down or was "heavy" on any of those devices. It being ugly and too bright is all opinion. Thankfully launchers and icon packs are a thing.
its my favorite Ui compared to Samsung its like weight and more useful. I don't agree. i also wish they upped the cpu. i do agree they only needed one camera in the front the wide 120 angle one. i also wish it had front firing speakers
From just this video I already like it way way more then Samsung pretty close to stock kit Kat way nicer then touch wiz I replaced my up on. My note 4 the first day I got it.
I love LG UI instead of Samsung UI
+Rusli Irawan LG UI is beter than samsung touchfiz that many bugs and lags
+Rusli Irawan Yes, its much better than Samsung UI! This youtube guy is stupid

the new note 5 with touch wiz is smooth
actually lg ui is awsome
+Haider android I agree
me too
V Madari me you and him agreed that lg ui is good
+xj77 some people can't tell the difference between fact and opinion.
V Madari yes because when people talk about phones they get really angry but it is a fact that some people think lg ui is bad but others think it is good like me
I don't agree at all, I like LG's UI...
I love lg ui too
+Jayvon me too.
I love the lg UI
I like LG's UI too
me too. tried all other ui's only stayed with lg.
i liked your review and didn't like it at the same time. Can't explain. You seem to have a bias in your opinion. You don't like LG but you reviewed it as so. LG's UI is very nice. Not sure if you were the right man for the job.
+Jason Rutibager Well of course I have a bias. That's what a review is.... It's an opinion.
+Snazzy Labs right.. but why even get a device if you really don't like it. I would NEVER review a windows phone because i hate them. for you to say "a new weird smartphone?" that says alot about you.

Snazzy Labs i'm just messin with you. i'm adding your page now :) thanks for the reply.
No offense but I think this dude doesn't know what he's talking about. Most of his criticisms are just so wrong for me.
now give us your points
+Faws why
+Gabriel Mandawe Exactly
I still don't understand why people don't buy Sony phones. they have the glass build of Samsung's new phones, dual speakers, waterproofing, and great software. along with awesome battery life. 6 hours screen on time on my Z2.
because they're not coming to the U.S
Amoled screen, bro. Any phone I buy must have an amoled screen.
Which one do you recommend?
+Stephen Butler It costs twice as much as the Nexus 6p. $1000 for a phone is horseshit. In 2 to 3 months phones with a newer, more powerful, more efficient, processor will be on the market for like $800 I bet.

I love, love, love, love LG's Ui.
It's so nice to see an unbiased review when a company has sent you a product. Good job!
I've never seen your videos before. This was my first one.
You, sir, are a great personality behind the camera. Great quality.
I love the UI on the LG phones, their perfect especially the IR blaster how you can change rooms just through the notification panel and when my volume button wasn't working I could change the volume straight through the notification...

Very nice Sneak Peek. You are one of the best reviewers I've seen on TH-cam. Very good on-camera presence. Thanks!

Happy G3 owner here. I like the LG interface. It's simple and straight to the point. Battery life and charge times are great on this phone anyways.
I like how the blue and the black look together on this phone
LG Ui is the most customizable Ui its like the having Nova launcher. your just pain wiered dude

Hey man, just wanted to tell to that I discovered you few moments ago on Reddit and I must admit, you're great! Instant subscriber, hope you will make ton of new content. Stay snazzy and good luck mate!
4K video does have optical image stabilization, 1080p video also uses software image stabilization together with optical.
Nice review man, looking forward to your full review in the coming weeks
It's a good thing it has nougat now, it looks exactly like the V20 and pretty similar to the G6 as well. Performance and battery life was also noticeably increased with nougat, I get about 20-30 minutes more SOT and apps load/close quicker and don't crash freeze or lag like with marshmallow.
Nice little review, Dude! Great phone,... I elect it as this year's GOAT!
good review, keep it up. Want to know more and more about the LGV 10. You suffer from the same delusion however, about OIS. OIS is a mechanical suspension of the lens in a cell phone camera and it is always on no matter what youre shooting.

I hate how reviewers always complain about not reaching the top of a phone with one hand

Great work. Just found your channel. Snazzy trumps Crispy every time! Subscribed.
Best revew ever, I really appreciated your work, keep it up.
I love that drone shot!
Will you cover the audio quality, the music amp mainly, in the full review, as it was a selling point in the product video?
Absolutely.
I watched this video and I kid you not. 3 seconds in I discredit the mustache so much. The opinion is invalid.
Sorry my good looks intimidate you.
I needed to hear that because i went upgrade my note 4 to the V10 and when I WENT TO THE STORE TO TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THAT DEVICE I was impressed with the camera and the video settings but was a bit troubled about the overall look of the phone. You hit it on the nose when you mentioned how bad LG Software is I agree with you 100 percent. I guess I WILL USE LESS LG FEATURES....I MIGHT NEED YOUR HELP WITH GETTING SITUATED WITH MY NEW PHONE IN A FEW DAYS
Completely agree with you, if the second screen were in the bottom, it would be perfect. IMO, It would have been better, one single front camera (the best of two) and a front flash led...
very good review. I like hearing the negatives along with the positives
How can you say the LG UI is so bad and terrible when it looks just like all the major flagship devices except it's way smoother and damn near lag free! Second , the 808 is not a year old! The G4, which is only four, almost five months old, is the first phone and flagship to have it and worked closely with Qualcomm to optimize it! The v10 is the pro version of the G4 but shares almost everything hardware wise! The v10 added a few features but it's overall a bad ass device! Yes , it's your opinion but we want constructive criticism not bias rants! Thanks
LG UI is beter than samsung touchfiz that many bugs and lags .I write from experience
Amazing review, dude you deserve more subs !
are you his friend? lol
Chris Choi nope, i said that because he knows the stuff pretty well of what he's talking about.
+Pratik Patil well i think his review is good. but not amazing .
Chris Choi maybe, but i found it pretty good.
The LG UI is the best if not the one and only
should wait for regular international version. all of these mini-tests are based on the Korean version
3:09 lol! Is this what we've come to now? This made me laugh! My goodness 😂😂😂
I agree, the second screen should be in the button..
Good job, wish you did a bit more review on the camera and the camera settings..
waxed mostache got me like. let's party like it's 1899. cool rev.
why? why hate the UI? its awesome man. But i still love the older optimus UI. UX4.0 is not bad too. its really nice. the experience is brillant and easy
Nice video man. Have the S6 at present, but the battery life is killing me. Might look to upgrade given this is the only phone that can match the S6 camera without switching to the dark side.
Interesting that you aren't a fan of the 2nd display, most other early previews have praised it as a pretty cool addition.
What I do find odd is the decision to stick with the same battery as in the G4.
Thanks for your 3 days review!
I have to disagree. I've had the phone for about four days now, and I think the second screen is genius. So many times where I've been on Facebook or browsing the Internet and was able to easily check text messages or e-mail with just one touch. It's great.
Looking forward to the full review.
If the secondary screen not useful as you say it is, then turn it off. Its simple not even a really big deal.
the mustache is amazing. i love it!
I love the latest LG UI. Last year I've switched from a Nexus 4 (the best experience I have ever saw from a phone) to an LG G Pro and.. the software was way ahead of Samsung's TW (in terms of performance) but.. it wasn't very good looking. Then bought a Note 4 and now A G4 and the new LG UX looks a lot better to me, comparing it with Sammys TW, design, speed and everything else.
I agree with you. Finally a real opinion that I'm in line with
Thanks for the clear review - and I don't even mind the moustache
I just purchased my Note 5 to get something different then my baby who has the Samsung Galaxy 6 curve ! Both heavy hitter phones and jump on demand plan we can keep up with the latest - Can't wait until the Note 6 curve in a few months ☆☆☆☆☆
The LG UI is okay to me. But then I've been using LG smartphones for years, so I guess I'm used to it.
great review. im lg right now. keep it up lg. liking this phone a lot. thanks.
I had this phone over a month and had no problem with it. Everyone has their own opinion.
I personally like this implementation better than a curved display.
I like LG's UI more than any other phone, including Samsung's crappy touchwiz. And the second screen is actually very useful and I like the placement of it.
when will you upload the full review I'm dying to see it...
Good review. Love your mustache BTW.
just wanted to say i completely agree with you about LG's UI. it's functional for the most part, but not very pretty to look at. great hardware, but it's missing eye candy, and that may seem trivial but it's important when you're spending over $600 on something you're going to interact with every day.
It definitly looks like the OIS is on in 4K. I think the option is not available since OIS is mandatory with such a high resolution anyway....
Love to see your review on the maxx2 and turbo2
Actually it's a 5.9" screen if you count in the secondary display.
4 to 4 and a half hours of on screen time? I thought my 9 hours was bad. As much as I love LG, I wish companies would focus more on AMAZING!!! battery life vs more HD in the screen. I still watch my videos in 480p.
Before I got my LG G4 about 2 months ago, I had a Note 4. TouchWiz is so laggy compared to LG UI. Yes, it's not as good looking and the menus are a bit weird, but it's MUCH quicker than TouchWiz, BY FAR. In fact, there's no comparison. This phone is super quick!!
I'm not to fussed about the V10, because I find the 2nd screen implementation a bit strange. The screen should have been on the bottom or side. It's silly having it at the top. Also, it's bigger than the iPhone 6+. I think 5.5" for a screen size is about perfect. I'm more than happy with my G4. I don't feel gutted at all that the V10 is out. Nova and Moonshine icon pack, job done.
i have the iphone 6s Plus, but ill be sure to pick thr next LG up. im starting to miss LG
thanks for another snazzy preeview!
LG are smart not to put a lot of effort into the skin like Samsung. It's an Android the whole point is to clean the slate and customize to your liking with Nova, Multipicture Live Wall Paper and an icon pack of your liking. I'm not sure why people are in love with the look of stock Android, I find it very boring. You can have something much more creative similar to what the ColdFustion TH-camr does using creative photography and minimalist icons.
The OIS not available on 4k should be a simple matter of an software update? If the second screen exists only to show battery life it's already paid for itself. I try to keep my batteries between 50-80% to extend cycles.
This seems like the best phablet on hardware you can buy. A friend was pissed that the his newly acquired iPhone 6S does not have manual controls on video like the V10.
LG is going for the jugular.
I only watched this until the end because the hispter beard was too much for me to close the tab.
That drone is dope af.....
Hey Quinn, give us a review on Tidal? Always been curious to know more about it.
I love the LG G4 for the Leather Back and the LG V10, but I still have my G3 because it feels the best in my hands and can be rooted. With root I can flash CyanogenMod which will remove any signs of LG software and give me Stock Android with minor tweaks. It makes the phone feel much faster. That is why I still have my LG G3 on Verizon! The G4 has root and the V10 does not. NO CyanogenMod for either phone yet.
Thanks; really great review!... You've been reading my mind!
Better marketing: An extra battery in the box with fast charging kit instead of two front facing camera.
I love the lg UI. I think most people that have lg enjoy it.
I have a LG G3, and you know what is the problems of this phone ? Software ! Yeah, launcher redraw and multitasking is not as good as it should because LG Rom are not fairly optimised ! Thatg why I'm running a ASOP Rom that make my G3 a real beast, however the battery life is quite bad (like 3h30 SO). I hope, one day, LG will totally rethink his software from A to Z, if it's the case, Samsung and other Android brands will have to clearly worried about LG a lot !
WHOA! Where did you get the Blue and Black version of the phone!?
clever
how is the LG software bad? The settings app looks almost exactly like my Note3, the notifications drop down does it's job just fine, and the icons are customizable to ANYTHING you want so how can those possibly be bad? Even if you dont' like them, change them.
Yoooo the UI isn't bad. It looks pretty good
nice review, very informative. i am using G4 and the price drops almost 200USD in just 3 months, which is disappointing.
Thanks for the great review. I have the Galaxy 5 and am about to upgrade. Do you think it's a bad idea so close to October maybe they'll come out with another version? I was leaning towards the V10 and I am just not happy with Samsung anymore. What do you think? um p.s. love the 'stache :)
Very nice bro. Clean. To the point. Unbiased as it should be. No wanna,be "street cred" thank you
This is a fantastic phone, but I'm gonna disable that second screen the second I'm done setting it up. Good thing it doesn't have the glare issues like Samsung's Edge phones.
If they made a more compact version id be all for it.
Nice review! However I strongly disagree with your views on the LG UI, ever since the improvements from the G3 (I don't remember the UI version numbers) the LG UI has been remade, rebranded...reborn, and the one on the G4 has to be the absolute best. I haven't tested this V10 yet so I can't speak on that. I use to be a big fan of HTC's Sense UI and this is the only thing I can find that comfortably replaces that. I have always hated Samsung's Touchwhiz UX, but the Note 5's is the least laggy and cluttered of them all. The long and short of it is that I find the LG UI absolutely beautiful.
so basically put Nova on and it's the perfect phone? in using nova on my G3 and I agree that it is much better than LG's skin. in excited to get the V10 it's hands down the best phone out right now
LG G4... If you use nova launcher... You loose the capability of 'double tap to screen off' features disabled... Someone told to tap in notification areas but looks awful... LG needs to work on their icon department for sure... Stock Android icon might be game changers.... Another drawbacks in dual window the use of apps is limited.... LG's camera on G4 made me switch from Note 4 to it. Looking forward to more reviews on V10, soon.
