Can you please share your thoughts and experience on why a potential buyer should consider the shield please.?
There's plenty of other threads already on this forum about that. Please try using the search function. Or read product reviews about the Shield Tablet. They will give you a great summary.
I'll throw in this: K1 processor for far, far less than a Nexus 9.

Here on XDA there are more people who can really give a solid opinion on the tablet, and why it IS such a great buy.
You know all those people who do reviews and summary's and stuff, most of the time use the tablet for a few days, review it, then never touch it again...I wouldn't use or recommend those if I were you.
Also just remember, every question you ever ask for the rest of your life will have already been answered at some point. And every answer you give, there has already been another, better one given.

Very true which is why I asked for the experience of actual users as wouldn't trust online reviews. Am more concerned about the battery life to be honest. Apparently only 2 hours of gaming that would be ridiculous.

Remember the processor in this thing is supposedly as powerful as a Xbox 360, plus the 1080p screen its driving. And if your playing the most intense games, made to utilize all the Shields power, then yeah, 2-4 hours average.
Regular use however, I easily get 7-8 hours.

Well, I already have picked this over the z2
But, not for everyone. The Shield tablet is definitely more powerful, but the z2 has a larger screen, vibration, etc. Things that the Shield doesn't. I'd say figure out what you will mainly be using your tablet for and make a decision off that.
I'm really loving this phone. just picked it up a few hours ago and I am noticing some lag. Nothing crazy, just here and there. Maybe it's because I'm restoring my sms messages now.. It's not constant but once in awhile opening an app and clicking search will freeze it... stuff like that
My important test that lots of Samsung phones failed is downloading torrents and trying to do anything else at the same time. My note 4 couldnt play a podcast without stopping every so often when downloading torrents. Note 5 did it like a champ. No issues on the v10 so far.
I thought my phone was gliching when it said my card was 64gb and the internal was 64gb.. I thought i read somewhere that it was 16.. SO samsung stops sd card support and charges another 100 bucks for 64. and LG keeps it and gives me 64 for cheaper than sammy's 32.. awesome.
Really not impressed with the battery so far. Hopefully i can get the spare soon and it wont be such an issue but My note 5 (same size battery) had pretty impressive battery life compared to this.. it's just dropping and dropping.. Max brighness here is less than note 5's and it seems to use more power.. I have an external fast charger coming today so i'll be good anyway but i'm just not impressed at all.
I'm loving the camera... speed, quality, manual controls.. solid stuff. As a vidographer it's blowing my mind. Will this mean I can video live music without the mics crapping out? let's see.
I'm loving the build quality. Rubber is effing perfect! Screw glass and aluminum! It's amazing how it actually sticks to my couch cushion, bed, car seat when i put it down. dont love the slight extra weight and the stainless steel kind of makes it wider than it has to be but after seeing that drop test from android authority where it basically doesnt break from ANY normal drop, I'm ok with that.
Whatsapp is still putting it's heads up notification on the main screen instead of the second screen.... A big pull for me was notifications on the second screen and I use whatsapp a lot... this is kind of a let down though I can't blame LG for this.. Maybe if the phone gains traction whatsapp will update? is there a way to do it that i dont know about? Right now i installed an app to turn off the heads up notification and instead put it in the status bar but theres no way to get it to the second screen...
Maybe it's just me but for some reason apps have trouble once in a while getting a data connection on wifi or 4g.. Just for a few seconds a couple times.. but it is happening.
Hey mate, enjoy your phone
I hope the performance issue will be fixed after the initial day.
But the Whatsapp notification behavior is kinda weird indeed. I would assume otherwise because for example Google+ and Instagram notifications were popping up on the secondary screen on the youtube videos.
Im suprised by the V10s performace its opening and loading alot of apps faster then my Note 5 did and no lag on my end at all so far. Battery life is sub par i agree on that end, but overall i really like the phone so far.
I've only had it for a few hours and have been setting it up. Still haven't swapped Sim cards yet. Someone in another thread confirmed that the smart stay screen on feature was back on the V10 but I sure can't find the setting. Gorgeous phone and screen.

LG is offering a special, where if you purchase this phone before Nov 14 in the US, they will send you a free extra battery, battery charger, and 200GB SD card... For FREE! Take advantage if you can!

Thanks for the review. I really wanna get my paws on this phone but I'm out of the country and I won't be back in time for the promo
Lordy, your all beginning to get the phone! Arrrgh! More info please. How bad is the battery?
How much larger is the phone to the Note 5?
Is it a lot thicker? A lot wider? How smooth are the Screen inputs?
How long does it take to charge?
Everything.

Those questions are probably best answered by you going to check the phone out in store for yourself. No one can really give you the same experience and answer that you'd get on your own
These guys have had the phone less than a day, any opinion on the battery would not be fair.
I'm really hoping for something decent with the battery. I *NEED* juice! Hoping the LG promotional stuff will come quickly (assuming I buy the phone tomorrow AM)
Coming from a Note 2 with a 9300 ZeroLemon battery I have no idea how to deal with battery issues. I hear the battery low sound maybe once a month? It's a totally different experience with an extended battery. I'm hoping I can deal with swapping them out until hopefully *praying* ZeroLemon makes a battery for the V10.
I'm interested in any battery experiences....

Order it now online and have it shipped to a family members/friend house. Then you can still do the promo redemption online. Just a thought

And anyone already having the phone, how would you comment on "alt-tab" performance of it?
Is it still as great as G4 i.e. much better than Samsungs?
What I mean is, opening few apps (browser, game, mail etc) and then alt-tabbing/rotating back 5-6 apps one-by-one; will they just pop-up immediately and exactly where you left of rather then refreshing/restarting the app? That was a great performance feature of G4 against much "stronger" S6 and even Note5.

No chance of that. I'll have to get this online. Ta.
The v10 is a little bit taller. Note 5 battery will be better because Amoled is more efficient than IPS.
Currently have a G4 which has a 3000mAh battery with a 5.5 inch screen. V10 has a 3000mAh battery with a 5.7 inch screen. I'm guessing battery life be worse on the V10. Might just go with a Nexus 6P which has a 3450mAh battery with a 5.7 inch screen.

y did u downgraded from Note 5 to this? i had G4 and outside of camera and an ok screen, the phone was medicore at best, specially in games.
Saw the xz for about mid $400 online ,thinking that's low enough for me to buy rather that original +600 price.
-how has performance been on a day to day usage?
-any over heating issues?
-how has the camera performed on pictures and video?
-would you still need to backup DRM if wanting to root and unlock bootloader?
-how's battery life?
Any issues or concerns you might have,would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
I bought mine a few days ago. I am getting credited $150. I am glad I got mine.
- very smooth without any lags
- yes, when using the camera
- very good in btight light but very noisy when low light
- yes
- mine's bad but others say it's decent

Where is xz for 400！From what I search cheaper brand new one is $520
B&H has it for $450. I believe $475 shipped overnight. I got mine for $425 since I had credits shipped. Not sure where he got his for.
a. day to day usage is reasonable (occasional freezes but very rare)
b. no overheating at all (exceptional here)
c. camera/video performance strong (except low light/zoomed shots)
d. no root with a locked bootloader (unlock/back up drm keys etc.)
e. battery life 36 hrs on medium use/6hrs+ screen on time
the achilles heel is the ram management as approximately 50% is swallowed by nougat/system processes, and charging time can depend on the cable used (use the sony cable only)
seriously consider the xzs if you can afford it in April (improvements to camera, memory and battery)

-Excellent. No problems in daily usage.
- No over heat issues. In every situations.
- in my opinion i try every 2016 top phone. Xz have the Best camera overall. Video perfectly stabilized and very dettalied. Pictures perfect in every situations. The front camera too.
- I don't try for now but yes.
- For me is very good. If you active stamina with third option, you have excellent battery life with only x reality off and only better gestions of battery. I can play with games and do everything without problems and have fantastic battery life. I reach without stamina minium 5 hrs sot and maxium 6 hrs sot. With stamina third options minium 5:40 hrs maxium 8hrs (yes 8 hrs sot).
No issues with latest firmware on xz.
Just ordered mine, i was originally thinking of z5 premium but i wanted type C over the 4k display since i have nexus 5x and really enjoy the charging with type C's, i really wanted the XZ premium but im too impatient as this is my second nexus that i slept and sweated on in my sleep and had problems with the touch screen not registering touch at times (for a nexus 5x user having screen problems i'm probably i special case since i sweat a lot LOLOLOL). so in short bought my ZX off of amazon today with next day shipping. #coolstorybro ahah

my main concern wasn't the price, more of how fast it gets too me, maybe next day option isn't the best and there is a site out there that would of got it to me this after noon but nah not trippin.
there was a few for just shy of 400, hell for what i paid for i could of got the dual sim 64gb version but i realized that model is probably worse on the development aspect of it after looking at some roms on XDA for ZX not really compatible between single sim varrients. is this true? i only been researching the past day to see what were my options

well got the phone now, after booting it on US firmware, I eventually flash the NOBA version and so far it's all good, volume, double tap and signal is ok, signal bar is different form the US version which is 5bars, NOBA is only 4bars(US I get 4 bars/NOBA on 2), so I don't know if it's basically the same, so far speed is okay and smoothness is let's just say it like a BUTTER=) Battery life, maybe a day or two days after=)

Well, my wife just called me right now to greet me a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and it's loud enough for me, don't know what others are talking about the speaker... Bought this used-good in Amazon, and it's like brand new, missing earbuds though, but I don't care coz I used Bluetooth ?
Just got my Pixel 4 XL over the holidays. Coming from the Pixel 2 XL. Have to say that I got good screen on time with the Pixel 2 XL, usually around 6-7 hours on average. But this is blowing me away. I'm not a power user or anything, I don't play many games but I am on my phone a lot for work answering emails, of course I make and receive calls, I surf the web, go on Facebook, Twitter, watch YouTube videos and play music.
After looking at all the reviews from tech YouTubers (mostly negative) I know the Pixel is the phone for me. I've had an iPhone, Samsung, LG and such, but I can't see myself getting away from the Pixel. Even my last Samsung had the Pixel launcher on it. The reviews didn't turn me off, nor did the reported terrible battery and I'm glad they didn't. Cause 9 hours SOT is beyond stellar. What does yours look like?

Observational post of the week
I join the request!
I don't own a smart watch and I have been looking at the Watch 5 Pro and wanted to know more about it, the good, bad and ugly.
I really wish the watchs had CGM capabilities for Diabetes, but I am sure they are working on it. How accurate are the sensors in the Watch 5 Pro?
And what purpose does LTE have on a watch, If I am using it with a Note 20 Ultra do I really need the extra cost of the LTE model?

The purpose is to be able to send and receive messages, stream music, etc., and are in places where a phone is too cumbersome or not able to be used. Places like gyms or certain office settings.
There are also the "look what I can do" geeks.

Nope.
I stopped by the local big box electronics store and looked at the Watch 5 Pro..... I don;t know what people are complaining about as far as the weight goes, it would take 5 of them to weight as much as any of my Invicta Russian Diver watches......lol
And 45mm bezel is too big? then you would hate a full size diver watch. I would like to see a 52mm Watch 5 Pro and for them use the extra space for a bigger display and more sensors like a CGM.

After looking at it and then at the price they want, I am going to hold off, I really want a CGM on a watch, its probably going to be 2-4 more generations before they can do that and I am sure all the sensors and battery life will keep getting better too.

agree with the hefty price tag. I only got it because they gave me $180 for my GW4 and a $50 Samsung credit.
I just gave in and got it. After debloating and playing with it (heavy use) and setting it up and using it half a day I'm currently sitting at 26% when I opened the box today and turned it on it was at 52%
