LG G5

The LG G5 comes in four colors. They are:

Silver
Titan — a dark gray, really
Gold
Pink (not "rose gold," but proper pink)

Not a fan of the design at all, but like the whole "LG G5 Friends" concept, especially the B&O attachment. Will be interesting to see how this does against the S7 and S7 Edge as it's right in the middle.
 
I think the smaller screen size is a good idea. The G4 were just a bit too big for some people.
 
I just got the G4 2 weeks ago. I knew this was around the corner. But then I heard about modular design, magic slot and moving the buttons from the back. That got me worried.

After seeing the previews on YouTube now I'm happy with the G4. The curve is gone, the battery is smaller*. And the notification tray is all white. Bleh...

But the camera is tops I really like that wide angle primary camera. But other than that... Not my cup of tea.

The battery is smaller but so is the screen, AAAAND, this has a Snapdragon 820 which is meant to be far efficient than what the 808 and 810 are. I believe the 820 alone will make all the difference here, performance between the final G5 units vs. G4 + V10, should see a big jump especially in graphics as the 808 uses an even less powerful GPU than 2014's Snapdragon 805.

Ah yes, whenever an Android bumps up in spec one should always expect such a comment.

crApple running on 2gb and lower.. windows, heck, that runs more smoothly than any android device on as little as 512mb ram+a crappy dual core cpu. (i'll admit W10M needs 1gb to run smoothly) That just tells me android development isn't going in a good direction after KitKat released. Sometimes more features yes, but requires such a massive specbump to run smoothly compared to other platforms that offer the same experience on lesser specs

Smaller screen is a big No, I want bigger - ala 5.7" not smaller.

No rear speaker either it appears, my G4 easily has the best speaker on any mobile device I have owned or used, in large part to the rear facing speaker, seems to help amplify the sound via reflection and nullify to a fair degree the over trebly sound that mobile speakers are prone to.

Not so much interested in performance and graphics on a mobile device, they have more than enough nowadays, but yes I don't dispute that. It's just that I don't find the phone aesthetically pleasing anymore. That slight curve added a lot to the phones ergonomics. Also the magic slot thing feels gimmicky to me.

I can see why LG went this way. I doubt Samsung or HTC will be making anywhere near as much buzz as LG at their launches. This will be exciting for customers as opposed to the boring incremental iterations that the aforementioned will most likely release.

When Apple bumped up the screen res of its tablet with the iPad Pro and brought in various ways to multitask they threw in 4GB RAM, most Androids like the G5 have these same capabilities and more, so sorry, your point with Apple is invalid.

Windows Phone/Mobile hardware is always a few months behind Android, the 950s come with 3GB RAM, we'll on probably see a 4GB RAM 950 successor this year if Microsoft don't drop that fail of an OS.

Cheers. :)

EDIT:

Well lookie lookie, is that a 4GB RAM Windows Phone/Mobile I see:

I guess that means WP/WM development isn't going in a good direction, yeah?
