Me too bro
Coming from G3, almost didn't go to to LG because of it. This thing is a whole different world of awesome. Things that overheated and throttled my G3 don't even warm this thing up, and best part, no data issues going from WiFi to mobile!!! Love the second screen too. Now when I'm navigating and streaming Bluetooth at the same time, I can change tracks without leaving nav app, notifications don't interrupt games/videos...Extremely happy so far!

Yeah I'm agree with you I love the second screen its one's of the things why I get this phone and I like to see my name on the top ? of the screen lol
Need to point out that realistically it is only a 5 inch screen.
With controls and second screen. You effectively have only a 5 inch screen with a whole lot of bulk. Granted the internals are great. Although it is not in any way a 5.7 inch screen. Great phone, but let down on such a massive phone with effectively no more screen area than a S4.
Not to mention. NO blinking notification and no temperature or humidity sensors. Infered is marginal at best.

Umm, no, it's not a 5" screen. The main screen is 5.7" minus how much space the buttons at the bottom take up, which is like any other phone not made my Samsung.
The second screen is a completely independent 2.1" screen. Please don't spread misinformation.
And they didn't put a led light because that is what the second screen is partly for. And if you want all those sensors, get a Samsung.
Sounds like you need to do more research before you buy a $600+ smartphone only to be disappointed for you own lack of research.

Actually, if you go get yourself a tape measure, the 5.7 doesn't include the second screen... And if you're really tech savvy, you can hide the navigation bar when you aren't using it... So on both of those counts, you are wrong... Also, all your notifications appear on the second screen, which to me is more convenient than a blinking light, since I don't even need to open my phone to check my notifications. And also, the infrared controls my stuff from anywhere in the living room, which works fine for me... Considering Samsung no longer has this option, it's a plus. Other than that, sorry to ruin your phone bash, have a super day.

This phone made me love it. My G3 started getting the BSOD and honestly I'd planned switch to a Samsung S7 Edge in March, or whenever it is released. Went to the store to try to get a used G4 just to hold me off until then but they didn't have any. Walked out with the V10. Unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP and SU and have been loving it ever since. I'm not really sure why because aside from the standard faster processor, gig more memory and slightly larger screen, it wasn't that much different from my G3 but I've really grown to like this thing. Second screen is the phone's first bullet point but it's kind of gimmicky and I don't really have a use for it, but besides that stuff just seems to work better on the V10. It doesn't have Bluetooth connection issues like my G3 did, phone doesn't heat a small room under heavy use, and I'm not clearing apps to free up 200mb more memory all day. Call quality is great, quick charge is awesome, and the 5.7" screen is really, really, really nice. A louder and clearer speaker is the only thing the G3 did better but the V10's will do. So I've warmed up to my step child and really not thinking about the S6/S7 at the moment.

You do know that the screen + the second screen measure to 5.9 inches right? I have a S4 also and the screen is alot bigger on the V10 than the S4...

I agree with you. I come from the nexus 6 and so far I love this phone but the lack of custom Rom and development is kind of ?.
Bought mine during launch week, and was disappointed it had major issues: second-screen bleed was bad, and the speaker sounded really distorted. Then a month later the wireless charging chip died.
T-Mobile replaced it with a brand new unit manufactured in late December and it is absolutely perfect. No bleed at all, speaker is crystal-clear. Loving it, especially the camera!
Started out with Lg G2 d800,loved that phone sold it and got lg g3 D850 awesome phone.. Finally decided to get the v10,its very smooth, fast, beautiful display, whenever i take pictures my friends are stunted by how beautiful and rich the photos come out. Manual controls on camera and video, dual front face camera, removable battery , sdcard support, slick and premium design over kill. This is by far the best device i have ever owned since day one 'htc touch pro2' ... Im really impressed with this phone...
I upgraded from a Nexus 6. My first experience with LG (Android wise) was with the G2 and the Flex. So going to the V10 was easy. My only caveat is the fact that I moved back to 5.1.1 when I've been on 6.0.1 for a bit. Can't wait for some decent roms to truly use this phones full potential.
I almost gave up on androind OS after two generations of Samsung Galaxy devices, Note 3 and until today Note 4. The update from Kitkat ruined the Note 4 experience completely for me, if anything left me frustrated. Ive reached an age whereby I just want something to do as it says on the box, typing on the Note 4 became a nightmare for me, tiny space bar mistyping all the time. Wifes Iphone 6plus was appealing but thought Id try another brand of Droid. Earlier today walked out of the T Mobile store with a new V10.
Trying to follow the latest on Samsungs recent announcements...
Sounds like there are "big" edges on a 5.5 inch screen?
Does this mean they will be proper edges like in the Note Edge?
What would you make of the fall in size from 5.6 to 5.5?
Could there still be a Note 7 Edge announced later?

For me, I've grown addicted to the wider screen on the Note edge so I probably would not go for Samsung's latest (although I could change my mind!). I'm sure camera and performance are great. Some other phones that look interesting are the Le Eco Le Max Pro (formely LETV) and the upcoming vivo. I don't know whether they will work well on US networks. Regardless, this may be a good year for various offerings...

I've had the Note Edge since day one and love the phone. However battery life hasn't been all that great for me the last couple of months and its also been giving problems. Not to mention that it wont be long before Samsung stops with the updates or takes forever to push out to Note Edge devices. And even tho it has the s pen I never saw myself using it much. Not concerned about the difference in screen size as I use mostly in landscape mode anyway. After seeing the Samsung event Sunday I've given it some thought and put my pre-order in today. I'll take the bigger battery, wireless charging, better processor, more memory and always on display over the wider screen. I know I could always wait for the next Note upgrade but I'm too dam impatient! . Oh, and I like the fact that Samsung is giving out the Gear VR and a 6-game bundle supposedly worth 150 dollars.

I like the wider screen also.
New phones are always going to be progress with a few hits and misses.
However the functionality of the note edges edge is so important to me that it's almost a non negotiable for my next phone.
That's why I am keen that new Samsungs have "real functional" edges.

I can see your point with the wanting the wider screen but correct me if Im wrong you still have the same functionality of the edge screen that you have with the note edge. Perhaps the note edge panel may be a bit wider. Both the S6 edge and the S7 edge still have the edge display which will show clock, notifications and with the s7 you have a new edge panel that swipes open and makes it useful to access applications using one hand. I mainly got the Note Edge so I can see notifications and sport tickers without having to open my phone but now I dont use it as much since I got a Gear S2. Plus I want to be able to use Samsung Pay and Note Edge will never get it.

I don't know about the s7 Edge but the s6
Edge certainly has inferior functionality to the note Edge......
I am hoping that s7 Edge is more like the Note Edge (from an edge perspective)... I can live with any other changes but can't live without a proper Edge.
......see below for an extract from a review talking about edge differences between Note and S6.....
The Note Edge SDK can not be used with the S6 Edge, and as such all of the existing content panels are useless. To make matters worse, you can’t do anything beyond the 4-core functions present in the S6 Edge and thus there is no potential to tweak or tinker. Edge Lighting, People Edge, Information Stream, and Night Clock: all of these could technically be done on a normal “flat” phone, just with slightly less comfort.
Why did Samsung strip away the real functionality of the Edge Display?
Edge Lighting has the side of the screen light up when you get a phone call or receive a notification. People Edge allows you to color-coordinate the lights with up to 5 contacts. Information Stream is similar to the ticker feature mentioned earlier on the Note Edge, and Night Clock is also related to lights. That’s it. Nothing impressive whatsoever, if you ask me, at least nothing that justifies making use of such a new piece of display technology.
Why did Samsung strip away the real functionality of the Edge Display? Simple: the S6 variant is much thinner than its Note sibling and, therefore, the curves are much less subtle. This in turn means that there is simply no place to put icons and the like. Unlike the Note Edge, the S6 Edge’s display is one single screen as opposed to “two”.
No way to samsung s7 edge, note edge is still promising and without s pen I will not buy any s series phones.

Samsung missing a trick here. ..
I keep going back and forth betweeen pickin up a used NOTE EDGE or the new S7edge, been to BB like 3 times to play with it and seen every youtube video reviewing it. Its a awesome phone but im still not happy about not having a replaceable battery and the edge screen really isnt independent like the Notes. I watch a lot of tv via SLINGBOX and really want to be able to see my notifications on the edge screen without interrupting the main screen. maybe its just cause the phone is in demo mode and its really glitchy but it seems like the edge panels come out over the entire screen blocking whats on the main screen. i try and imitate the app by using youtube but i cant really get it to work. the app panels are really cool but wish it was independent still. What do you guys think?

if you watch any of the videos when they show that u can pull the panel off the side of the main screen, it shows the panels but also clouds out the entire main screen, so its not just showing the panels over the screen.
check out this video

U can plainly see that the edge screen is taking over the main screen and u can not see whats on it anymore

I agree, i mean thats what my dilema is with this phone, yes u can scroll thru the notifications on the edge when the screen is off but when screen is on, its part of the screen again and those panels overrun the main screen, i guess im going to wait it out a few more months either for price to maybe drop or for the next Note series. Hoping the bring the edge back with them, as well as the waterproofing, but i heard from the Samsung rep at Best Buy that the battery will not be removable, thats for sure. errrr

I regularly need my spare battery with note edge.... so I wouldn't buy a phone without.
I'm glad edge is a beast so could withstand a longer cycle whilst the Samsung execs sort themselves out!!!
There is absolutely no need to have an edge that's wider than one icon either..... if u need lots of info use the good damn main screen! !!!

hi guys,
i'm from germany and i need help for buying a new (oder used) phone.
atm i have an Oneplus X because of the size (i have tiny hands and i want to use the phone with one hand), the display (i love the amoled because of the sharpness) and the camera.
what i miss actual: a physical home button. why: because i use the phone as a sat nav (with osmand+ app) on my motorcylce. i have an water resist phone holder like that (https://www.amazon.de/LKB29LW-WASSE...8-13&keywords=wasserdichte+handyhülle+fahrrad) and i cant use the side buttons because of the case. dtw dont work because of the foil in front of the display. have tried it soo often. when screen is dark i always have to open the case...
so what i need for the new season: phone around 4,8 to 5,2 inc with possibily to wake up in a case.
what sould it be able to: rooting, xposed and so on. good camera... the things i like on my oneplus.
i like the samsung s7... but: i think it is too expensive.
what else can i buy?
greetings from germany

I'm not sure if this is where this question belongs but anyway:
My favorite phone I've ever had was the Nexus 6p. I loved how big and wide it was. I loved how easily I could root and flash custom roms to it. I loved all the modification of the OS I could do to it. I currently have the 8+, but am looking for an upgrade. The pixel XL 3 is probably going to be if not 700+ close to it. So, would you say the 6t (not out yet) and 6 OnePlus is similar? Is it easy to root, good screen, battery life etc? Is it over hyped? What is your opinion.
Thanks
Stay tuned over here for news and reviews once released...
I think OP6 and OP6T will be almost the same just some facelift modifications.
So...
Easy root --> yes
Good screen --> I would say yes
Battery life --> isn't the best, but it's good.
Over hyped? --> never!?
I'm guessing it'll cost more for very similar to identical internal hardware.
The only things that would get me to upgrade are a battery 4000+mAh, a MUCH much better camera (like, it'd have to be the best on the market by far for sure, I'm pretty happy with the OP6 camera), or if it somehow ended up cheaper than the OP6. And even for me to upgrade then, I'd have to accidentally break my OP6 first for me to spend that much money again.

What about charging it? Can you use a regular cable? I don't like that you have to use the propitary hardware. Especially since I'm currently upgrading my home to use power outlets among other reasons.
I think the 6 and 6t will be similar in most ways. I mainly see 2 aspects that can make a difference:
1. the removal/loss of the rear fingerprint scanner.
I'm pretty pissed by that. I don't know if banking apps will let you use it for example (the apps will have to be updated/modified because the bottom half of the screen will have to make way for an area on the bottom where you need to place your finger on the screen to unlock). of course apps will adapt to the front in-screen fingerprint scanner but who knows how fast this will happen.
Plus no more fingerprint gestures while the phone is on (pulling down status bar, single traps, double taps,...).
Also, the in screen scanner is going to be slower than the standard rear scanners and when you grab your phone in your pocket where you can now just unlock it by feeling the spot in the back (and the phone comes unlocked and with screen on when it's in front of your face) you will have to actually look at the screen and place your finger on the exact spot where it has to rest in order for it to unlock. Don't see the point in that because face unlock would most likely unlock during that moment of search and press.
2. maybe this point is false, but possibly there will be more development for the 6t due to the fact that it will be available to a much wider audience being offered by t-mobile in the US. so far OnePlus phones have not been available in any US phone carrier store so way more people are going to actually see a OnePlus at the place they usually go to look for phones.
I don't expect the camera to be better than in the 6.
The phone's speed will be identical since it's using the same hardware.
You're missing out on the 3.5mm headphone jack in case that's important to you. And perhaps they will add wireless charging with the 6t (we'll see).
I had a Nexus 6P before as well.
Personally I find the screen ratio of the nexus better than the 19:9 from OP6.
Both are missing a sd-slot although the OP6 is dual sim but both slots are sim only.
Screen quality is good but compared to Samsung it is just average. Not sure if it's the quality or the colour adjustments.
I often have non-recognized touch inputs but this could be due to the screen protector it comes with. I will remove mine and see if it gets better.
The fingerprint reader has it bugs as well when it does not recognize my finger and ask for the pin. Something I never had with my nexus.
Audio speaker quality is ok not more. Better use earphones.
Camera is good but by far not the best.
Rooting is easy but a bit different because of a/b slots. You get used to it after first flash (or boot loop ).
Battery life is good for me.
USB is USB type C but it is a USB2.0 connection so HDMI adapters and stuff are not working (at least not for me).
Volume slider is a nice extra.
OOS is quite good too altough I completly debloated it with xXx magisk custom rom.
Would I buy it again?
Yes. The hardware package is very good compared to it'sprice.
My next phone needs a sd-slot again. I hope OP thinks about that again...
Will I upgrade to OP6T?
No. No need for me. And the missing audio jack is a no go for me at this time .

I think the 6 and 6t will be similar in most ways. I mainly see 2 aspects that can make a difference:
1. the removal/loss of the rear fingerprint scanner.
I'm pretty pissed by that. I don't know if banking apps will let you use it for example (the apps will have to be updated/modified because the bottom half of the screen will have to make way for an area on the bottom where you need to place your finger on the screen to unlock). of course apps will adapt to the front in-screen fingerprint scanner but who knows how fast this will happen.
Plus no more fingerprint gestures while the phone is on (pulling down status bar, single traps, double taps,...).
Also, the in screen scanner is going to be slower than the standard rear scanners and when you grab your phone in your pocket where you can now just unlock it by feeling the spot in the back (and the phone comes unlocked and with screen on when it's in front of your face) you will have to actually look at the screen and place your finger on the exact spot where it has to rest in order for it to unlock. Don't see the point in that because face unlock would most likely unlock during that moment of search and press.
2. maybe this point is false, but possibly there will be more development for the 6t due to the fact that it will be available to a much wider audience being offered by t-mobile in the US. so far OnePlus phones have not been available in any US phone carrier store so way more people are going to actually see a OnePlus at the place they usually go to look for phones.
I don't expect the camera to be better than in the 6.
The phone's speed will be identical since it's using the same hardware.
You're missing out on the 3.5mm headphone jack in case that's important to you. And perhaps they will add wireless charging with the 6t (we'll see).

1) I agree wholeheartedly. A rear fingerprint scanner placed properly is better than anything up front.
The counterargument usually goes - if your phone is lying on your desk, then it is easier to unlock it without picking it up.
My counter-counterargument is that if you want to unlock the phone, because you saw a notification, you probably would want to pick it up anyway. In other words, if the phone is requiring your unlocked activities, you would probably want to pick it up.
One exception that immediately jumps to my mind - you see a Gmail notification, and you want to read the full text without picking up the phone... I suppose that happens. Sometimes.
2) T-Mobile is probably a very small carrier compared to Asia, where these phones are mostly sold.

What about charging it? Can you use a regular cable? I don't like that you have to use the propitary hardware. Especially since I'm currently upgrading my home to use power outlets among other reasons.

Yes u can use a non OP cable and block but it won't fast charge.
Loss of led light stops me from 6t
Jack. No jack no joy.
I NEVER use lock with finger, for instance. I would be more happy with inclusion of SD reader....
Times.... ((
I previously had a Galaxy S8+, upgraded to Note8 and then upgraded to OnePlus 6. This is the first phone in ages that I've really liked, even though it has a bit smaller screen than I would really like.
Compared to the Samsung S8+/Note8:
The screen isn't as good as Samsungs in direct sunlight. On samsung I never had to brighten the screen to read on screen, but with OP6 it is necessary. No big deal though.
No SD-card slot.
No wireless charging.
But everything else is just simply better! Better battery life, snappier android, We've got PIE! samsung go eat your Oreos. Lots of customization with ROMs. Easy bootloader unlock and root, no hassle getting the latest official roms, no regrets from me, I'm on the OnePlus train now!

Sure. You can use regular cable, but the loading speed is slow.
Fast charging works with original charger only.
6T is supposed to have an even faster charger.

wtf? that's getting dropped too?!?
one more reason to go with the 6 than with the 6t.
what good reasons do you all see choosing the 6t over the 6?
that the notch is smaller?
that there is a bit more screen and less bezels?
the slightly bigger battery?
maybe waterproof and maybe wireless charging?
can't really find a reason that makes the 6t more interesting than the 6...
Without using the dash, are we talking like 3 hours to charge or like 2 hours

I have not seen this mentioned before. Where did you read that?
Thanks
Reading all your comments.... I'm planning to update my OPO (still a great phone), but OP6 or OP6T.......and price will probably be +600€ :/

The OP6 can be had for 510$ while the 6T will cost around 550€.
If you want the jack and don't care about in-screen fp sensor, the OP6 is a better choice.

There is no wireless charging according to Pete Lau.
Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the Samsung Galaxy S10e, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the Samsung Galaxy S10e is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
It's a good phone, lots of functionality and software options.
It should be a great phone but there are three things that do annoy me that I notice all the time.
The side fingerprint sensor combined with power button isn't nice to use in some circumstances, especially if fingers are slightly damp and it doesn't read the print, refuses to unlock and you're trying to press the power button to PIN unlock instead and it registers too many attempts.
The screen is just a bit too narrow. I miskey on it a lot more than with my Axon 7.
Another screen thing, when attempting to touch a selection on a web page, the accuracy when zoomed out is not as good as my Axon 7 and I have to zoom in first. Sounds trivial but is quite annoying and here I am comparing a 900 dollar phone back to a 400 dollar phone and not finding the cheaper one to be a worse experience.
The whinges out of the way, there is a heck of a lot of good about the S10e to enjoy.
Garbage
Bootloader is locked so that right there makes me give it 1 star. The phone is mine so I should have the ability to root it if I want. C'mon Samsung or anyone affiliated with them, let us unlock the fu**ing bootloader; your warranty is sh*t anyway. Peace!!
I'm pretty happy with the hardware, if you could unlock the bootloader. Inevitably Google changes something that you can only revert with something like Xposed. Or there's OneUI stuff you can't change (like moving or getting rid of the clock on the left of status bar).
A few minor things I miss not being rooted. Battery is a little on the small side. I came from a Droid Turbo, and that thing was a tank so I didn't need a case.
A lot of little things about OneUI I don't care for, and can't change. But my main gripe is notifications on this phone are a nightmare. It took me FOREVER to find and setup an app to give it a notification light, and then get notification reminders to work properly (still isn't perfect). And yet with the chaos of too damn many notification options, it STILL is inadequate and inflexible - if your app doesn't let you set its own notification sound, or OneUI ignores it, you have only the default system or ringtone sounds. You can't otherwise set a different sound for text notifications.
I guess the more I think about it, the lower my rating goes. It's working pretty good for me, now, after DOZENS OF HOURS searching out workarounds for mods that were easily done in a custom rom. And on that basis I have to give it only 3 stars.
I might actually consider trading out for the Pixel 4a, which looks to have a similar footprint. But no wireless charging would be a deal-breaker.
Missing certain features to make me love it 100% but I am pretty happy with it. My first galaxy phone (had the nexus and the epic 4g which were both terrible). Besides that I had an Asus Zenfone 2 and an Axon 7.
This is a really nice device. Good build quality. I\ve had better for the same price or cheaper.
I am very happy with this phone after losing the fight with my Sony phones to get them to work with VoLTE in Australia. the S10e is a good size, (not quite as good as the Xperia compacts), and is responsive to most commands. the battery lasts really well and the screen is very good.The fingerprint sensor drives me nuts and works only randomly. The finger print sensor on the Xperia XZ2 and XZ3 work really well and I miss that. I have a Galaxy tablet and the finger print sensor is no good on that either. All in all, a quality phone that will hopefully last me a few years.

Have you checked the quality of your fingerprints? My mother had the same issue, turns out her fingers have almost no fingerprints. The fingerprint scanner on the S10e is awesome and you should not be having any issue whatsoever.

I am sure after years of being in trade work my finger prints are compromised, but the Xperia XZ2 and XZ3 worked perfectly with my fingers, where the S10e is hit and miss even for my wife who's hands are not abused like mine. Typically repeatedly get the message "cover the entire fingerprint sensor". Sometimes it work instantly, other times even the facial recognition does not work, but most of the time it does. Love the phone though.
