Damn. I wanted the G5 pretty badly. Let's see what the rest of reviews say. :/

It sounds like LG is continuing to have the same problem HTC is likely to face in a few weeks. LG Simply cannot compete with Samsung's phones and so they decided to do something completely different in order to be able to distinguish themselves from their competition. The problem is the LG G5 is a phone built around compromises in order to get the modular design LG wanted to go with. I am not sure how the margins look at the lower price points, but they should consider going the Motorola route and offering their flagship around the $400-$500 range.
I expect HTC is going to have an even worse time when they launch the HTC 10 because no matter how good of a phone it may be they won't be able to compete with Samsung as usual.

I'm not a big fan of AP's reviews but alot of the points made are subjective and whatnot. I mean he poo poos on the camera, but isn't the camera the same sensor as last year? How is that a negative? Unless his point is that it should be changed for some reason. I'm still getting it and I will let everyone know how I feel about it. Also reading the review it's like most of his points are "it's not as good as the GS7 so it's bad". I love the point about if it was $400 he won't buy it even though it's running specs are that on par or better than the GS7. Can't take the review seriously when objectivity is thrown out the window.
Really not losing anything when I trade in my Note 5 on JOD.
PS: 90% of his review is on a pre-production unit.

continuum still doesn't sync notifications between iOS and OS X though. Android+Pushbullet is actually better for notifications with OSX than iOS+Continuum.

holy fuck CM13 is so fucking fast
That feeling when you almost brick your phone
And that feel when you thought it was bricked but you bring it back from the dead.
Glad you made the leap, welcome in brother...
Yep. My G2 on CM13 is leaps and bounds faster than my gf's stock G3.

Erica Griffin just unboxed her G5 and my god.....my dick just went limp.
Hell CM13 makes my Nexus 7 2012 usable again, and my Samsung Tab 3 like a brand new device...
MM is the reward for the punishment that was Lollipop, lol
For two reasons.
It certainly cannot hurt...
CM13 is awesome on a Galaxy S3.
Flash every month for the AOSP security update.
That's impossible these days.
Your choices are limited to Motorola X Pure, Nexus phones, and international phones.
Somehow USA allows carriers to sell different versions with LTE bands gimped.

Holy fuck, i would be pissed as hell if i received a phone like that.
why not? I like putting stuff on old shit and making it more useful. I think I was able to run Kit Kat on an old Droid Incredible using a CM port.

Hey, so is there a recommended Twitter app? I'm having trouble with the official one in trying to get it to notify me on mentions. It only bothers telling me about liked tweets and direct messages.
I suppose while I'm on the app subject, any recommenced podcast apps that isn't doggcatcher? I've used that one for a good while now, looking to try anything new just for the sake of it.

S7 edge is a beast.
Even the fearful touchwiz works great as long as you replace the default ugly theme with a free material theme from Samsung store.
And that's coming from a former Sony xperia fanboi, who prefers simplicity in utility.

So the AP review was right...modular phone just don't make sense IMO, and with LG known looser QC, seems like they need a V11 soon...

Yeah, the unboxing made me want the V10 more than anything. Too bad it still sits around 450 here.

I don't know if I'm in a minority here but I'm not really bothered about removable batteries. I haven't had a phone with one in like five years.
Can't go wrong with Pocketcasts or Podcast Addict.

Uh, apparently the G5 is plastic with a 'metal finish'

Wow, what a total letdown that phone is.
It's closer to their answer against iMessage. But what I don't get is why doesn't Microsoft just build a SMS app? People begrudgingly use Messenger now after Hangouts turned out to be a poor SMS client. A Microsoft app for SMS could sync notifications and allow sending of messages from Windows 10.
Not cool

Well, they'll get what they deserve. Poor sales. Remember how everyone was so hyped for them when the G2 came out? I knew it was over for them when they released the G3 that was literally worse than its predecessor.
Their answer to iMessage is Skype
Oh wow.

OMG what a fucking shitshow.
Which should've been implemented like iMessage years ago, yet they still haven't managed that. In W10M you have to manually swap between the two.
Skype has even less traction among my friends than Hangouts. Nobody uses Skype anymore.
It boggles my mind that neither Google or Microsoft have matched iMessage yet.
