What's the point of 4GB RAM if the multitasking will be pure shit?

LG is at least trying to innovate and it has everything most power users want: micro sd slot and removable battery.

WOW! Sony Z6 better be something really good, and they better announce it fast..
S7E looks like the real deal now.

Worried about the 2800 mAH battery. At least it's replaceable, I guess.

Wait the screen in the G5 isn't AMOLED? Expected LG to make the jump.
Hope the rumors aren't true and the Alcatel Idol 4S is cheaper than the $500 price point.

So what time is Samsung's event? Also no app drawer is a bummer. I don't what to root a phone just to get the most basic android feature around.
With Apple having an AMOLED screen on their next phone (or so say the rumors) I think the not enough supply for everyone, even with LG's new factory (I know, it's weird they would sell to themselves before Apple).

The rumors say an OLED iPhone is rumored to start with the iPhone 8. I haven't seen a single one about the 7 having an OLED screen

The G5 looks pretty cool but the skin is probably even worse than touchwiz. Not sure about that 2800 mah battery either when the S7 is supposedly going to be 3600 mah.
Also, that Xperia leaks looks good. Better than having a stupid glass back.

The S7 is going to be 3000mAh. But with a smaller screen and an amoled display.
Google Now Launcher wouldn't work?

I don't understand this post. What's keeping you from finding that out, seriously?

Not sure, a few hands on hinted that it wouldn't, but if a new launcher would do it this might be my next phone.
There's zero reason it won't work. Got a link to those hands one that say that? Don't believe it for a second.

If you know it looks better in person then you surely know the how sizeable it is, because you've seen it with your own eyes.
Didn't realize that information had just came this information about the G5 was covered by a bunch of websites this morning (only watched the verge video). Usually details like dimensions aren't covered until a bit later after the announcement.

LG's skin is truly ugly :/

it's pretty tall and pretty wide
also 2800mah is concerning for a 5.3inch quad hd screen. Even though I think the modular thing is really dumb, I give them props for trying something new.
Huawei coming out with a surface clone... My windows tablet future is looking brighter! Competition here will be great and push for lower prices.
Yeah I really enjoy the innovative things that LG is doing but the size will automatically eliminate this unfortunately. Hopefully HTC comes up with something interesting and comes in a more compact size.

It was either Android authority or pocket now, but the exact words were that "there's currently no way to disable it" but I probably just took them too seriously.
Having the ability to change the homescreen is one of Android's best features. Disabling that feature might be one of the worst decisions ever.

They probably mean within the LG launcher. There isn't a single Android phone that won't let you use a 3rd party launcher as far as I know.
I don't see it in either of their written articles nor do I remember it from the pocket now videos.
AA has this in their written hands on

Is Samsung's live stream over? my internet crapped out for like 5 minutes.

It's still going on.

Weird, I keep getting errors trying to get in it, oh well.
Just give up on Sony lol.
Z6 will be medicore, they'll never get it right sadly.
I have more faith in a HTC come back than Sony producing the goods.
Z6 with snapdragon 820, marshmallow, and 1080P screen is going to give God like battery life and great performance

Silver edge looks so nice. I like what LG is trying to do but there's a huge disconnect especially with the small battery and shitty ui. May have to go with the edge.
G5 is dope and less than 5.5 inches but all that expansion slot stuff is overrated minus the battery increase.
One of those add-ons has a 4000 mah battery pack...
And IR, give us IR Sony. They need add something else to the Z6 thanks to the space savings from the 820 and USB C.
The S7 looks like the winner thus far but Sony has better dev support. Looking forward to buying my second Android smartphone this year.

I;d be all over that edge if I wasn't so put off my touchwiz and the lenghty update time
In the end I think the S7 is the better phone, barring any problems that might arise during reviews (battery, RAM management).
The S6 was a good phone, but the battery, lack of an mSD slot and the RAM just made it a lot worse. They improved the two first thing, and in reviews we'll see if they solved the RAM management issues.

Yeah, Samsung lost me on no Type-C. I won't be buying a phone without it.

I never doubted the specs would be good on these phones. It's everything else that's the problem. Also the G5 is too big, even if it ran stock I couldn't have it.
S7 is good though. I held one at work and it's smaller in the hand by just a teency bit than my S6. Touchwiz is still a thing though and you won't get android N for god knows how long but the specs are nice if that's your thing. No type c is def baffling .
