Was in an AT&T store today and met a rep from LG there. I asked him about the V10, and he said that the Marshmallow update should be coming any day now. I want to exchange my 6S+ for an LG V10, but oh man that Note 5 in gold was stunning (as well as the screen)! But would take the LG because of SD card and removable battery.
LG will release it then At&t will have to get their grubby little hands on it... I'm not expecting it until Jan/Feb at the earliest. I'd love to be wrong though....
Maybe root will be possible with Marshmallow.

Someday more likely, and if AT&T gets their hands on it..... It will probably be a cut, botched, and locked down version.

The Note 5 also has complete fail memory management (I own one). You're much better off with just about any other phone, unless you like having every single app reload every time you multitask back to it. LG has always done really well with the memory management.
Hoping it will come soon. Funny thing - if I still had my G3 I would have marshmallow already...

Samsung's screens sucks. Every Samsung phones I've seen at any stores have burnt in from that stupid demo loop.
If you want to trade that iPhone hit me up

That only happens to display models. No one is going to keep their screen on 24/7 with the same static images coming on repetitively. Samsung screens are great once you change the default screen setting to a more natural setting.
I see S5s with screen burn all the time...

Funny how all iphones, LG and MS Lumia phones have similar demo modes with screen on the same duration as Samsungs and none of them have screen burn ins like Samsung.

Then you should look at some LG G Flex's. There's plenty of them with screen burn in. Happens to all oled/amoled screens even those not on Samsung products. I never had screen burn in and I had every galaxy phone since the first S1.. It's a trade off almost, you're trading ok lcd quality for superior image/refresh rate at the risk of some burn in which usually takes about two years of normal use to develop and by then you've moved on to another device so chances of it happening are rare. Unless you're buying the display model, I really don't see how this is even a debate.

Gonna need a spare battery cuz the battery life sucks on this phone. The back buttons are a pain as well. Everything else about the phone is amazing.

Yeah, I can't make it close to a full day without recharging. And, I missed the free battery and charger by a month. I think they knew the battery life sucked and that's why they offered a free spare to "early adopters" SMH
I can go for about 15hr that's when I get back to my hotel from work and still have 40%. That's using my phone for videos on a bus for a hour each way to the plant. Videos at lunch and Facebook,Pandora, Bluetooth ( watch and headphones). Battery life is great for me

A big battery eater can be disabled. Under About Phone, you can uncheck Activity Logs. Got noticeable battery improvements after disabling this. Hope this helps :good:
And stillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll waiting.
What in the world is going on, and why do the G3 & G4 get it before the V10?
Looks like it's getting pushed out on the international V10s.

I'm so annoyed with the lack of support on this phone going to the S7 edge. I had more high hopes for the second screen and the fingerprint scanner. I still have issues with it unlocking frequently. And this whole not getting an update when it was supposed to get it back in December... Meh

So tomorrow is finally the day I get to upgrade my phone, my fascinate has treated me well these past two years, but its a bit dated now. So I've been following the forums and threads on the S III but I didn't see much people saying anything about specific hardware issues with the phone. When I go tomorrow to purchase my phone, is there any hardware specific stuff to look at to make sure my phone doesn't suffer from quality issues or run tests apps like display tester to test out the phone so I don't come out with a lemon and have to come back to exchange it? Any suggestions on making sure I don't get an lemon is much appreciated.
I wouldn't worry about it. Mine has been rock solid, even after a trip into the pool.
Enjoy your new phone. I'm sure you'll love it.

As someone who had a launch fascinate, and upgraded to an s3 in July, let me add my opinion.
Gps. Though still not bulletproof and instantly locking like my wife's iphone 4s, it is way better than the stock fassy and even cm builds
Rom. Stock Rom is way less bloated and tw is way better with a smaller footprint.
Quality. About the same. I miss the 4 capacitive buttons actually. Still find myself hitting the android options key when trying to get to the launcher
I still have my fascinate in case this breaks and needs to be swapped. I do not miss it at all though. I could never find a perfect Rom for it. Something was always broke or buggy. I love my s3. Was going to sell it to get an iphone 5, but I am going to keep it now.

Glad to have someone who has experience with the fascinate and gs3. I was concerned with the gps since the gps on the fascinate was pretty wonky. I guess the gs3 isn't much different in build quality with the thin plastic battery cover.
I previously owned a Fascinate as well, it was a great phone but outdated.
I was first worrying about the size being (alittle) too big, after few days it seems to be perfect size.
I do not like the physical home button and the external speakers location. The battery cover is a thin flexible plastic cover, atleast it will not shatter if dropped on hard surfaces.
And the most important of all, it is not an iphone. Unless you have a lemon or defected phone, you will love it.

Yeah, I was worried about the size until I tried out a floor model and to me, felt fine, different from the 4 inches of course but nothing like the galaxy note. I think one major difference is what you mentioned, the physical home button, coming from 4 capacitive buttons to just 3 buttons with one of them a physical one, is pretty different.
A lot of us come from the fascinate. Me too. I find this phone has built nicely on the original fascinate. Adding things that needed along with the general hardware upgrade. Or now thinking on it, Samsung or Qualcomm should have given us a quad core but such as life.

On another note, didn't get my galaxy s3 today. So I have unlimited data on my plan and went though hell to try to find a way to keep the unlimited data and get the phone at the discount price. I might of done it, but won't know until verizon sends me my phone in the mail. Will know in a couple days.
It's a great choice ! You will be glad you took the upgrade ! I even enjoy the phone out of the box . This phone is going to be limitless .

Let me be one of the first to say Welcome to the VZW GS3 Family! I may be on GS3 #3, but I think I finally got a keeper. The phone kicks my bionic's a** left and right, and I feel the GS3 is the best phone on the market atm.
As for me being on GS3 #3, I wouldent worry about build quality. First one had the screen gap issue (was back when the GS3 had 1 forum for all carriers), second one had dead pixels, but this current one is a keeper!
I am also new to the verizon fam. Came from sprint and am so happy with this gs3. So much to do that sometimes dont know what to do on the phone. What cool tricks do u suggest. I habeny been on this site in years.
To update everyone, I got my phone today and was able to activate it and keep unlimited! The sweet sweet smell of a new phone with unlimited 4G.

Did you specifically request to keep your unlimited? I am just curious because I preordered mine and was able to keep it. I am not sure if they are still allowing anyone who has unlimited to transition to the S3 with unlimited or only people who specifically request it... anyone have more information??
The phone is fantastic. I've had no issues with it. Welcome to the family!
I love my GS3. It's a great phone and build quality is pretty good. But I did have a few things though most of them are minor. Do check them out within your return window:
1. My 1st GS3 had GPS issue. Took forever to lock and wouldn't stay locked. Got an exchange for that and the 2nd one is way better, still not perfect but totally usable.
2. My 1st GS3 came with a tiny scratch on the screen. I found it after using the phone for < 2hours. At first I thought I scratched it. Then after keeping the phone in the same pocket (completely naked) for 3 weeks, and then having the 2nd one for a month, no scratch whatsoever. Now I'm pretty sure my 1st one came with the scratch. It's a very tiny scratch can only be seen from certain angle. But it annoyed the hell out of me.
3. Both the 1st and 2nd GS3's back cover have a squeaky spot. The 1st one right behind the volume rocker, the 2nd one behind the home button. Not the worst problem but can get annoying.
I saw other people report screen problem (dead pixel) so running a screen test is probably not a bad idea.

I did a cross upgrade, I was able to transfer my upgrade to a different phone and then have that line upgrade to the s3. When it came, I just esn swap (transferred the phone to my line). Note this only works with ordering from the website. At the store and anywhere else they will force you to switch. Trust me, I banged heads with a lot of people over this.

It feels solid to me. Its a thin cover but its all packed together in that slim body pretty tightly so it doesn't feel cheap (at least not to me). You can't tell its a thin plastic back unless you remove it as it doesn't move or give at all when it is on the phone. I think the fascinate felt worse
The GPS is no problem at all on the S3 but I never had issues with it on my fascinate either although I know a lot of people did.
Hey all
I for one will be waiting for this over the Note 4 (when it finally arrives in the UK) The curved screen technology really appeals, the slightly reduced battery capacity really does not bother me that much, for me its a small price for such an intriguing new feature. As the rest of the specs are pretty much identical to the Note 4, its down to who feels this new design is worthy of the wait.
Who's in? and how do other members feel about the extra screen real estate?:good:

I think I'm in your camp too. The only thing is, I have read some obscure articles claiming that this might not actually come to market for some time due to production issues and the curved glass. My contract renews in November, so hopefully we'll hear some more news before then.

My contact is up in October, but will move over to a SIM only contract until available. I can live with my faithful note 3 a little longer:highfive:
Lets hope the rumors are untrue, first time in a while I've been truly excited about an upgrade. :good:
Yep waiting on this one.... The note 4 is too close to my note 3 to be interested in it.
Waiting ... :highfive:
:good:
I'm on Verizon, living in the Greater Manchester Metroplex (actually, a little rural town but it sounds good). The odds of our corporate store having the Edge - even ONE - are dismal. So I'm going to have to order it online at 12:00:01 AM the day of release... or pre-order, whichever comes first.
I'm really hoping I can get the Edge, although one part of me is hesitant: the MODDER part of me.
How much development will there be for the Edge? Will there be sufficient quantities of stock to satisfy the demand on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon? Or will each U.S. carrier have maybe 50 of these things? Will developers even bother with it? Or will there be enough of a supply that developers will embrace it, root it, bootstrap it and create custom ROMs?
That is my question...
I'm waiting on this as well. At first, when I saw the details on the Note 4 when Samsung had their introduction, I was relieved because I knew I would save money since there was really nothing(in my opinion) worth upgrading from a Note 3 for.
But once I saw the info on the Note Edge, I was excited because I knew that I wanted to get it(and slightly disappointed because I thought I would be saving money on a phone upgrade this year.).
From what I've seen on the net, the Note 4 should launch in the United States sometime in October. Hopefully this means the Note Edge will launch in November.
The thing I really like about the Edge is that it will be very useful in multitasking since the access to app shortcuts will be on the Edge display. This will really increase productivity in my opnion. Even with the smaller sized battery, it should be fine since we can use the Edge display to check on notifications, etc. without waking the main screen.
I am still on my good 'ol Note 2. I wanted to original upgrade to the Note 4 until I saw the Note edge. Just wish they would give out some info
I have a GFlex now and impatiently waiting for the Edge!!!!
If the Note Edge is <$1000, I will definitely get it regardless of custom Roms, support, or reduced battery issue, simply because I want to do my part as to motivate Samsung in trying something new to smartphone world. Samsung took pioneer steps that no one else has taken for the good of the whole, instead of most company out there who only goes after their profit.
Only 1 question I still have regarding the Edge, and this is after watching all videos, articles of it. If we can turn on the curve screen for notification and such without turn on the main screen, then how do we plan to do so? I mean, should I press the power button? or a home button? Or whatever button? Wouldn't pressing those physical buttons turn on the main screen as well? Please someone tell me...

Yea I think that the edge would be a swipe like the note 3.
if i reach for my phone the screen lights up and tells me the time and miss calls, email etc...
so I can seen samsung making a setting for picking which screen to be active for swipe.
also I believe the power button would be map for the full screen on. And they will probably have swipe over just for the side screen. It means sense to me but let's see of they do it.
I'm thinking of getting the Note 4 when it drops since the Edge doesn't look like it'll be for sale until early next year. I'm on T-Mobile so technically I could "JUMP" after 6 months (April). Whatever phone I get, strong development support is a huge factor.

I was at the UK Samsung Experience. store at Stratford and was told the Edge is not coming to the UK as an official device release.
i'm waiting for Edge. I think if Australia release is 5th Nov, US would be before that. All carriers still have this as "coming soon". I wish Samsung was as aggressive as Apple in marketing and releases.
Just heard this will be a very limited release. Not for the UK or US.
I got mine yesterday 4/8/15 - Im on Sprint and when I turned it on and did self activation I got a black screen... Eventually had to factory reset and go to sprint and get them to re activate it. Also Ive noticed it has been prettty laggy stuttering here and there. Google Keyboard doesn't fix it. Its not thaaat laggy but its enough to notice. My Sprint GS6 edge Black 64gb DID INFACT come with the hair line scratches people are reporting. battery life has been decently good.
Battery:
Full Day 1 GS6 Edge: April 9th 2015
Screen On time: 3hrs 50 min
7AM-1:04PM
Usage - Everything, auto brightness... All edge features on. half mobile data half wifi, NO BATTERY SAVER
Ive been getting about 8 or 9 hours on heavy usage mostly wifi though. black 32gb no scratches or other issues. No lag. Feels and looks great. Sound isnt as bad as people say. But i came from an s4. I do notice it seems warm when charging with the screen off lol. But maybe thats just the fast charger at work. The usb is snug though going in and kind of worries ya as yo how itll hold up. Data was way snappier and received lte in areas i previously couldn't.
Got mine on the 8th as well. No issues with lag, but my phone does have the small cosmetic scratches in the screen. Any idea if Sprint would do an exchange because of it? Battery has been just ok so far. Wasn't able to make it through the day on light usage without having to throw it on the charger before the end of night. Barely had 2 hours of screen time. Fingerprint scanner works like 75% of the time. Anyone have any tips on how to get the scanner to work more accurately? The phone is absolutely beautiful though.

I went in the Sprint store and they were shocked that I had the phone. First they told me they couldn't do anything because I wasn't supposed to have it... Then after they realized Pre Orders shipped early they just told me to call customer service to request a replacement.
Thats messed up because Sprint customer service told me to go into a store. After all I've been through with them lately i have come to the conclusion that they have absolutely no idea what's going on most of the time.

Picked it up on launch day
Got the device (white, 64gig) around noon today (eastern), haven't been able to put it down. Screen is amazing, apps download and install from the Google Store in record time (coming from an N5) via wifi or Sprint Spark, speaking of Spark...I am getting coverage in more areas than I was before. Camera is by far the best experience I have had with Android and I am an original G1 owner, wow...we have come so far. Point and shoot is by far a much more fluid and pleasant experience. almost 9 gigs are taken up by system memory. Battery life and speed of charging has been a good experience thus far. Did i mention the screen? :good:
Got my white 32 gb edge yesterday from Best Buy. It looks great and no scratches seen
I did the update and everything seems to be working fine. The battery is great so far but I did notice some lag when something is downloading in the background a bit but nothing too bad. The brightness is being a bit annoying. The softkeys are too bright at night unless battery saver is turned on. The manual brightness is too bright and auto is too dim. Coming from the adaptive brightness from stock lolipop, its a bit disappointing. I love this phone however. The curved screen is fantastic, especially with gallery pictures. Also its ridiculously sharp. Battery is great so far and fast charging is great.
Called customer service...
I called in and they told me to take it to a repair center... They seem very uneducated on the issue. All they have to do is search it up, its very common now and annoying.

Got mine on the 8th as well. No issues with lag, but my phone does have the small cosmetic scratches in the screen. Any idea if Sprint would do an exchange because of it? Battery has been just ok so far. Wasn't able to make it through the day on light usage without having to throw it on the charger before the end of night. Barely had 2 hours of screen time. Fingerprint scanner works like 75% of the time. Anyone have any tips on how to get the scanner to work more accurately? The phone is absolutely beautiful though.

Thats messed up because Sprint customer service told me to go into a store. After all I've been through with them lately i have come to the conclusion that they have absolutely no idea what's going on most of the time.

Screen Brightness Issue
Also, I compared my screen with two other peoples screens on max brightness and mine is a little less bright then theirs and is more on the warmer side... Disappointing...

Mine takes up 6.7 something on system memeory. Anyone else? Just curious. On a 32gb black
I love my S6 Edge. Wish I could have gotten it in green though and with the news of demand outpacing supply and curved glass production problems I don't ever believe I will ever be able to get it into emergald green. There is already a shortage of the Edge devices which I why I am glad I pre-ordered.
The only other thing is Sprints network. My nexus 6 is on Cricket and I wish I would have ordered it on AT&T and kept my Note 4 on Sprint, or moved my Nexus 6 to Sprint. Hopefully they will roll Spark out here soon and that will address the capacity issues that seem to plague Louisiana.
It's an amazing phone. I love it.
The S6E is my first metal & glass phone and I'm loving it so far. The phone looks great in Gold Platinum and it's really classy & sleek looking.
The performance is great, operation smooth, great feel in hand & easy to use one-handed, and the camera is fabulous.
I'm not bothered by a lack of microSD & removable battery as I thought I would be (probably the Nexus 5 got me used to that).
This is definitely the best phone in the world for me right now.

Eh....
It is up to you. Given how many Edges are floating around with scratched screens it really is a gamble. I have not really heard of any issues with the S6 but there are reports on all carriers of scratched S6E devices. And like any other carrier, Sprint isn't going to keep opening boxes for you, even if they do have them in stock. You could get one where the screen has the scratches on the screen, or in/under the screen. I guess you have to decide if you really could live with that if you do get a defective unit. Some people say they can live with it. Others cannot.

i could probably live with that. my main concern is even with a case and i drop the edge, the curved part of the glass is exposed to potentially get more damage. does it feel like ur gonna drop it at all when u use it?
Not a very good first impression for me since screen rotation was broken out of the box and Samsung support has no clue about whether it's going to be a software fix or not.
I'm very happy with my edge. I would never chage it with a normal one. It is much more beautiful. This is my opinion. And my screen is not scratch and i have very good batery life: 24h batery with 5h SOT or 48h with 2h 30 min SOT.
First one had dead pixel right in the middle of the screen. Second phone kept getting the battery overheating message and would not let me use any apps besides the phone app. Exchanged for my third this morning...so far so good. Even worse news however, is that while I was getting my last phone there was another guy in there getting an exchange on his Note 5 for the screen going bad. He said it started out in the upper left hand corner and eventually just spread throughout the entire screen. He said he had the phone for about a week and a half. Needless to say, I'm slightly worried that Samsung may have rushed this out just a bit too quickly. Time will tell I suppose. Happy otherwise

I'm on my second. The first one had an issue with the glass not being fused with the display properly. There were small gaps between the glass and the display. Not really a huge issue but in certain colors you can notice it.
But most, if not all, devices have their issues and bad batches, defects etc..
I just posted about me being on second note not even in a week. Screen went dead, flickers green.

I personally think Samsung rushed this device and we're paying for it. Disappointed. .. but still like it over my S4
Yea, not knocking the phone...seriously a bad ass phone for sure...best out there right now as far as I'm concerned. Just stating my experience so far. Third phone holding up so far

Haven't had one issue since the release of the phone. I'm shocked you guys are having those issues.

Notbing to be shocked about. Everything has a error rate. Some note 5's have defects, most do not.
I am a technician at Sprint retail location. I have seen all these issues, but very few and far between. It's not anything that I'm worried about, as I purchased a note 5 as well. Sometimes you get some bad luck.
My wife's new Note5 has had a few spells where it wouldn't ring for incoming calls or text, any thoughts on this?

If you haven't already, try ##72786# in the dialer.
Also make sure her network connections are set to LTE/CDMA and not Automatic. I've had a lot of service issues come in due to being set to automatic.

Thanks, I did set it to lte/CDMA but haven't done the ##72786# thing yet. It's done it twice, she's had it for a week now. You can call her and it goes straight to vm and not even ring.
If the problem persists, take it into a corporate store and have them 14 day exchange it for a new device. I would give it a few days after re-provisioning (the 72786 code) to see if it happens again. But be sure to do it within those 14 days (day 1 does not count, so it is 14 days after the day of the sale) so you are guaranteed to get a new device, although I am sure there aren't any reconditioned devices for the note 5.... yet.
edit: a word.
Thanks, yeah this Note5 was a replacement for a broken Note4 through asurion. Other than this little hiccup it's a very nice phone.

Yeah she likes it, I do too to be honest.
In that case, you have device protection, where if it is not working they will replace it in store. Just try to do it within 30 days where it doesn't hurt the tech's numbers.
But yes, you did get lucky, but not very surprisingly seeing as Note 4, even reconditioned, inventory is non-existent. Quickest I've ever seen a note series phone go off planogram and end of life.
Samsung can't fix these phones.
Sent mine in for the bottom of the screen not working, they say it's BER, and they can't fix it NO MATTER WHAT I WANT TO SPEND. I asked the guy over and over "If a board in my Samsung TV goes bad, you will replace it, but not in your flagship phone?" his answer was no they won't fix it.
They say it has water damage, which is hilarious. I MAY have pulled it out of my pocket, in it's case, in a drizzle once and in 3 weeks it's ruined?
If you don't have an otter case or something that completely encompasses this phone to keep the water out, I suggest you get one.
I've dropped a phone in a tub of water that is still working fine, a few drops on this phone and it's done.
I have to agree, I bet this phone gets a really bad reputation pretty quickly for being a super poor design.

All Note 4's are being replaced with Note 5's. If you start a claim online right after confirming you had a Note 4 it says it will be replaced with the Note 5 due to them not having Note 4's anymore.
Well my mother in law went to a sprint store having issues with her Note4, they had to order her a new phone and they sent her another Note4.

Sprint stores use a different company for replacement devices vs. Asurion. I do know that we are still replacing Note 4's with Note 4's in store, though it is on back order. Asurion is probably giving out Note 5's due to their vendor not being able to get an ample amount of Note 4's to offer next day replacements.
How much do you love your V10 ?
After root my v10 I really love more then before because root bring me to Manny options for Theming my V10 make feel my phone lake on others level .

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!

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.
