A good phone

Go to solution Solved by ★ Coups ★,

Curious, what are the reasons you cancelled your OP2 order? Might help us weed out some devices.

It would also help if you gave us a few ideas of what you find important in a phone, so as we can better direct you.

 

I cancelled my Oneplus Two because it has many things that need to be sorted. Bad camera, Fingerprint sensor issues after a few months and a weak battery to name a few

 

I love the camera on the LG G4, which makes me lean towards that

A high resolution display would be great too.

 

Also, I like to have navigation buttons on the phone, instead of on the screen

So recently I ordered a Oneplus Two. I have canceled the order for numerous reasons.

 

So. Again im looking for a new phone.

 

I have my eyes on the LG G4 due to its awesome performance, and camera

I also have my eyes on the Nexus 6p

 

 

Any recomendations, problems or good points about these phones?

 

I currently have the Samsung S4

I'd go Note 5.

 

I'm not a huge fan of the G4. It feels cheap to me.

6P is decent but apparently fragile, if that worries you at all.

There's a lot of really decent phones out right now, but I feel nothing this year was really that mind blowing.

Sounds like the Note 5 in a nutshell. Or the S6 Edge+.

The G4 doesn't get great battery life. I'd say the only advantage it really has is the expandable storage.

Are you in a huge hurry? I know there's always something "just around the corner", but we're only 3 months away from phones with the SD820, X20, and Exynos 88**.

These should be a lot better than the SoC's that are currently out there.

I'm getting the Z5 Premium tomorrow so can give a personal review then but from everything I've seen and read so far it's definitely the one to go for.

What do you use your phone for, what features do you value most, how heavy of a user are you?
