****LG G6****

Visually, the screen is virtually the same to my eyes, aside, of course, from being slightly taller.

Agree on the build quality comment, the modular bottom was poorly executed on the G5. Once in a case though, it's less noticeable.
 
The camera app on this phone is atrocious, it applies a bank of filters which destroy any detail the image has.

Any tips on a replacement app, trying a few out now.
 
What are the weak points on this phone?

I've currently got an S7 and while it's very "nice" I can't help but feel it's a bit generic and I fancy something a bit different!

The G6 appeals to me because I loved my G4 - definitely one of the best phones I've ever owned - fantastic camera and I love the positioning of the power button on the back of the handset!

I'm wondering whether the G6 is the one to go for or should I fork out a bit (well quite a lot actually!) more for the V30?

The battery isn't as good as I hoped and the display isn't as amazing as a more expensive model of course.. Otherwise it has been a solid and reliable phone for me so far.

I never had such a problem. I've owned many phones over the years, and the one on the G6 had my second favourite camera, after the Pixel 2.

I got some really nice photos out of the cameras on the phone.

Edit: I don't recommend the Google Camera app, it adds a significant amount of noise to a photo.

Hmmm, have got John Lewis to price match at £379 but can buy it elsewhere for that including a "Rolly Keyboard" - I've read that the G6 has a 2 year warranty anyway so I'm wondering if it's worth the extra £20 to have the JL warranty over and above the LG warranty?? (the keyboard is a nice extra but I can't imagine I'll use it much, if at all!)

Always been well impressed with the JL warranty service, especially on their TV's!
 
What is the LG implementation of Android like compared to the vanilla version used on the Moto G5. Managed to kill my current phone with excessive water last week, and the LG is on my list of possible replacements.

It has a VERY heavy skin on it. I hated it at first but after a while I got used to it and didn't mind it. There is a theme engine built in so I just used that.
 
I tend to put a launcher on within about 5 minutes on any new phone anyway - current favourite is Smart Launcher - easy to use, loads of customisation options and really sensibly laid out!

Think I'm gonna pick the G6 up this afternoon! :)
 
Had the G6 a few months overall decent phone BUT the wide-angle lens can be a lottery as to which one you get either 2.01mm the better sharper lens or the 2.09mm less sharp lens that a lot have complained about.
