I've had Lg phones in the past. They're good phones but I'd have to wait and see if they fulfill their promise about updates as LG have been utterly woeful in the past with them.

Looks brilliant on paper, although the battery isn't the largest.

Nice phone, bad price.

They've opened a centre which deals specifically with updates. Let's see if it actually delivers....they've been really rubbish at delivering updates in the past.

Nice phone, bad price.

Watch the price plummet like a lead balloon within a few months like all LG phones do.

I've got an LG G2 and that has the same size battery

 

[sanaxe1]

Going by other LG phones you might as well wait 3 months and get it for about half the price.

3000mah is such a bad decision. They can't afford to make these silly mistakes but year on year they do exactly that.

The Huawei Mate 10 pro and P20 Pro have 4000mah batts in a similar sized phone ffs.

Exactly and they wonder why the likes of Samsung etc always do better.

Rookie mistake made by a well established company.

Wide-angle camera on the front but not on the back? My favourite feature of the S6 is the excellent wide-angle lens on the back.

Come again??

 

[Soviet]

Sorry, meant the G6. The wide angle camera on the back is pretty good, at least with good lighting.

This has a super wide angle cam on the back too.

Looks very similar to a OnePlus 6 only not as well specc'ed and more expensive

 

[stoosh]

^It'll come down in price in a few months time.

 

[biron_w]

Looks very similar to a OnePlus 6 every other phone released this year only not as well specc'ed and more expensive

Corrected it for you

 

[hillbilly2]

How is the LG operating system? I'm guessing its not stock vanilla android.

Just picked one of these up for £380 off a local seller seems snappy so far will keep you updated .

Right SIM unlocked it for 6 quid and i just say the screen is really nice. The LG skin is taking some getting used to though. The vibration motor is really really nice not the normal type. Hard to explain but makes it feel like you are pressing an actual key when typing .
