This phone serves no purpose. I don't know ow why anyone would buy a G6 unless it's heavily discounted. It's using a 2016 processor and they finally caught up with Samsung's 2015 hardware build quality.

Still looks worse than the first gen.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
V20 feels like a better phone?
The XZ premium will be my next phone if those specs are true.
Top and bottom bezels don't matter to me. Only the side ones.
I won't like though, the Xiamoi mi mix is a beauty though.

still no crown is a shame....but there's a normal version and it has NFC so that's a plus. Something about it seems worse than the first one though.

It is.

are you sure? Didn't it clear the FCC recently? And it's 100% coming to canada so no reason it can't come to the usa as well.
They haven't mentioned Canada either. Seems like they only revealed first wave launches which is mostly europe but it's coming to Canada in June. I'd expect the same for the USA give or take.

Probably coming, but they need to sell Mate 9 stock first.

Well...there's always the V30 in a couple months lol.

As far as I have seen it isn't. I hope I'm wrong and would love a source that says it is.

G6 also highlights the problem of yes chips are fast enough so you don't need the latest chip per say.
Yet people aren't gonna pay high pricing if it isn't.

* Not for Europe
They should be faster in getting those out though, V10 and V20 are great pro phones that were released way too late into the cycle to sold decently enough.

Did they upgrade the SoC on the Nokia 6 cos I am seeing Snapdragon 430 for the Nokia 6?
-Pyromaniac-

between spring and summer is likely
Don't know. Just looking at what's buzzing at the moment.
430 would match the Moto g5, which replaces the Moto g4 play. The only thing remarkable is its manufacturing process is 14nm along with a number of LTE bands.
You might be right on power, so it's a low end phone.
Still won't dismiss what Nokia has.
I follow low end stuff here since everyone else posts high end.

Well, my Nexus 5 finally died yesterday. SIM card only works a few minutes at a time, then I have to eject and reinsert it. Even a data reset and removing the battery didn't help.

So it's time for a new phone. $200 is my budget right now. Was looking at the Le Max 2 X829. Any thoughts on this? And what's the difference between the X829 and earlier versions? Apparently it will work on my carrier in the US (Straight Talk/ATT).

The P10 looks pretty good. I like the hardware button comeback.
The Verge has their normal shitty hand-on with the P10 up. Love how they say Huawei no has features like the iPhone when they had them first and even better implemented. They say price is going to be 650 & 700 euros for the regular and plus. They also say the Plus is getting the larger aperture lens. The P10 seems to be exactly the same as the Mate 9. The fact the finger print sensor works as the home, back, and used app button is interesting.
Based on that I think I'm going to pick up an international S7. With the price around $470 now it seems to be the best upgrade to the 5X. The P9 or Honor 8 don't seem as good all around.

Thinking on the KeyOne. Long battery life appeals to me.
Samsung is getting all the SD835s that they can make.
Don't give them your clicks, man.

But didn't you get the memo?
You're supposed to shove iPhone in every conversation we have here.

Eh. I guess this phone is truly for Europe only.
Everywhere else around the world is retiring its 2G network where as there 3G will retire first before 2G.
brot might be interested.
Why make one good phone when you can produce three different variants all with features missing. Fucking LG. The G6 would actually be a very good device if they all had the quad DAC and Qi.

Too Many Phones
Hawaii needs to get their shit in order and stop releasing the same phone in 10 different packages.
The P10 Plus is a QHD display so isn't that considered better? It also has a larger aperture camera and more RAM. Neither of those actually make it better. I agree with everyone else about them having to many phones. Mate 9, P10, Honor 8, and 6X would make a solid line up with more money available for marketing each one. Plus I would think they have make more profit.
Anyone think the G6 is going to have horrible battery life with a 3,300 battery and 5.7" screen?
Could be touch screen lag as well. I wish there was more testing of this. I think 100-200ms is sadly the norm on Android devices with some being even worse.

Mate 9 pro has a 2k amoled screen. Think the 128gb model also has 6 gb of ram like the P10 plus.
Harry Stewart

Dude, the Mate 9 Pro is basically a novelty item that selling for 1,000 EUR. I mean, it's cool, but unless money is no object for you it shouldn't really enter into the discussion. The P10 Plus (128GB+6GB RAM version) is going to retail for EUR 750 in my area, same price as the LG G6 and only 90 EUR more than the regular Mate 9. Compared to the Mate 9: higher res screen, better cameras and smaller size (and still with a hefty 3,750mah battery), exactly what I was looking for. So I guess Huawei's too many phones strategy worked out in one case, haha, because I'm pre-ordering it. Blue or black though...

I was always more than satisfied with my g3 and V10,
Then they didn't bring the V20 to Europe and now the g6 is gelded but they still charge their premium price.
Guess that was the end of our relationship, LG. There are so many other good phones out there.

Yeah I had a G2 and G3, wanted the V20 but it was never available here (the V34, too, goddamn LG that phone is perfect, why Japan exclusive?!?) and today's G6 announcement is the final F U I'm gonna take as a European customer. The G6's estimated shipping date is mid April, too, so they're not even that serious about competing with Samsung anymore. By comparison, Huawei has already made the P10/Plus available at most local retailers for delivery in 2 weeks, with pre-order bonuses. So nice to have an OEM that is at least trying.

Lol the lg ship date is mid April? That's the same time as the s8.
Harry Stewart

Yep. Maybe a little sooner in the UK, but in continental Europe looking to be mid April. Does LG know how to take the wind out of their own sails (or sales ho ho) or what.

Yeah I'm really interested to see how oneplus keeps up. They can't release a better spec'd 3T. Radio silence on pixel 2 is a bit worrying but we'll see. I want it to be a hard decision come sept/oct but so far it's not seeming like it will be.
Only time will tell.
