LG G4 was announced today! One of the highlight was UX4 update.
Do you think LG G Flex 2 will get it soon? Or ever?
I like some features of G4. Wish it would be on Flex2 too
Hmm... SD810 with more power but overheating and curved screen...
Or less power with SD808 with better camera and screen quality..
Decisions decisions..
I imagine we will see it at some point but I doubt they will be in any rush to get it pushed out with the G4 shipping soon.

G4!
would would guys suggest..i have a choice but i can decide...ive read ALOT about flex 2 lag issue..is it that extreme..??
I had the lg g 3 and now have the flex 2, with the 5.1 update works great, but performance are similar on g3 and g flex 2, maybe (almost for me) the display is better on G3, the p-oled displays are not for everyone.

which one is it better to carry around and handle?
They are very similar on all . the g3 is a Little bit smaller. The curve in the flex for me are excellent to carry on jeans but like the g3 only if you dont use a tight one. To handle its ok if you consider a 5.5" phone its more like a phablet

i have had everything from the G2, flex 1, G3, and now i have the G4 and the FLex 2, i love them both but the Flex 2 is a powerhouse, i would def go for the FLex 2 instead of the G3
I'm planning also to sell my G3 and replace it with G Flex 2, is it worth it?

Flex is fast, good camera - same as the g3 maybe a bit better- and running 5.1.
On the other hand, G3 has bigger resolution, more ram and has many custom roms. At this point, with bootloader locked I would keep G3 (just for the custom roms, everything else is -for me- better on g flex). So.. Think about what you need in your phone and that is it
If you got a g3 your not missing nothing worth upgrading. Save it until something really good comes out. But for the g flex 2 price you really can't beat it.

This is not a common issue at all. Must be something with YOUR phone. It never happened to me nor I've ever heard about this particular issue.
There are some complaints about Flex 2 screen here on xda, but none like yours.
The only thing I don't like on my Flex 2 is the locked bootloader, therefore lack of development.
The 5.1.1 update solved the lag issues as I expected, battery life is adequate, to me, the screen looks gorgeous...
I, personally, don't have any complaints.

I read a few thread that says the poled display have a grainy display and something about colours tending to go yellowish or something when dimmed or over long usage period.

I don't know about"grainy" but the yellowish stuff you're talking about is the infamous burn in. It didn't happen to me on Flex2, but I've got bad case on my Note 2. But I'm using that one for Google Navigation constantly for years.. I noticed it first time after a couple of months.

There is a very big difference in performance between lg gflex 2 and lg g3
The thread is like comparing oneplus 1 with oneplus 2.
i just sold my g3 and got a 3gb ram / 32 gb rom G flex 2. this phone is amazing to handle . i think banana phones are the future . the screen is very bad compared to the QHD on the g 3 but in a couple of days u wont notice it anymore . phone gets very hot , even with copper shim put in .
its a more interesting phone , it turns heads everywhere .
if u can get it at a good price , go for flex 2

I totally agree with you! Qhd screen is indeed in general nicer and better to the eye but
If you want to play qhd content it needs cpu >=sd 805/810 .....though qhd content or 4k is not very frequent.
Youtube in qhd resolution on the other hand is playable even with snapdragon 800.
i never had performance issues on the g3 ( i had the 3 gb ram var with cloudy rom on it ) . played youtube at 1440p without problems . looked spectacular with some kcal adjustments .
the curved screen is more imersive and can be "fixed" using the vivid setting ( makes it more fake , more staturated , more shiny )
There is a comparison between phones in the smooth scrolling ability here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/3cktdm/scrolling_comparison_between_s6_and_nexus_5/.
Can anyone post a picture to show how the G Flex 2 perform? I want to buy G Flex 2 because the price is very low compare to G4 and S6 but I'm skeptical about its performance. Thanks.
Hi guys,
I need a new phone and deciding between the GF2 and the 1+X is incredibly hard. I got an invite, but I'm not sure I should go for it. I need to know soon since I have until tomorrow to decide as the deal on NewEgg for the GF2 ends tomorrow. I love the specs, but do you guys see this device getting support in the future from devs? TWRP would be great.
The model in question is the H950. I was going to flash it to an H950PR though. Thanks.
Oneplus will have more support, LG G Flex 2 bootloader is still locked which makes it almost impossible to make roms/kernels. I went with flex 2 and i like it, snapdragon 810 is beast compared to 801. And i heard the 801 in Oneplus underpreforms in games, but i guess it will be fixed with updates. LG G Flex 2 weakest point in my opinion is screen. In theory it's very good, perfect blacks due to Plastic OLED, nice intensive colors, a little bit too high brightness. But practically a lot of people has some color tints on screen, brightness difference on screen and ,the worst in my opinion, grain, which occur mostly on greyish colors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9pYswQitiU
Some are better, some are worse. I think of sending my phone to LG for display replace, because i have some grainess and little blue tints on left side of my screen.
Thanks for the input. That's what I was thinking, but my worry is after Marshmellow LG is going to leave this device in the dust. Besides that, I'm leaning toward in every way. I love what OnePlus did with the X though so I'm kinda on a fence. In all honesty, a SD 400 is still plenty fast in my eyes which is why I'm a little skeptic. Does the overhearing issue still exist, and do you see this device ever getting an unlocked boot loader? When it does, can we expect ROMs such as CM 13? I just don't know what to do
I think it will get unlocked in future, and people will start to make roms, mods and kernels for Flex 2. It is still most powerful LG device to date, and it has power for atleast few more years, because they didn't go with QHD display like in LG G4 or G3 for example, which is stupid move for me, 1080p denisty on 5.5' Flex 2 is more than necessary, iphone 6s has "only" 326 pixel per inch, but screen is still sharp and less pixels makes its performance one of the best in smartphones. And, LG G4 is "only" SD808 + QHD while Flex 2 is SD810 + FHD. Flex 2 does not overheat in my opinion. It gets pretty warm, and system slows down hardware a little, but the device isn't too hot and performance is still top shelf. I have little blue tint on my screen and some grainess, i'm going to send it back to LG for replace, will see if things get better or worse
//Edit: And wow, this phone is super handy and comfortable. I was worried, because my previous LG Optimus G was 4.7', i tried to use my friend's 5,5' lenovo and i was sceptical about big displays. But the curve and design makes huge difference for Flex I don't know really why LG acts like they forgot about Flex 2. It is one of the best phones i had and it is pretty cheap if we look at other flagships. I guess they moved on to LG G4 is POLED, which is great, but there is a lot problems with grain, tints, etc.

Totally agree with you. 2k or above resolution is superfluous on 5.5" or smaller screen as we can hardly see the differences with naked eyes and it just weakens the performance and battery of the phone.
After nearly 5 years my lg g5 started showing signs of aging and i asked myself if i could upgrade the internal hardware of my phone. So headed on yt and found nothing about it, but i found some lg g8 thinq teardown footage and noticed that its wide angle camera it's basically the same size as the one in the lg g5. So can i put the lg g8 camera inside my lg g5?
Assuming that i can fit the new camera in the phone I think to answer this question i mey need to answer these questions first:
-do both camera have same connector?
-if yes,do i need driver for the new camera?
-are there any?
