I'd get it if you don't like S8's curved edges. LG isn't a bad phone, but I prefer the S8.

is the s8 like the edge style of other phones? like where you need to have a case otherwise youll hit the sides of the screen when holding it and it will mess up what you're doing

Avoid LG phones, so many issues. 

I got a G6 because I am a Lg fanboy and because my fat fingers keep interfering with the sides of the S8's screen.I also sweat a lot when i grab out my phone so that was a concern.

My life

You would think Ubisoft would support the Bulldozer based architectures more given their digging themed names like bulldozer, Piledriver, Steamroller and Excavator.

What issue are you talking about? The Bootloops were fixed with the G6 but nothing official.

True. I would expect LG to rethink their design if they get this issue with multiple phones. But eh do you trust LG.

Also wasn't the issue with the G4 Like overheating and the CPU not connecting to the mobo? I believe LG actually did put in the effort to put a heat pipe inside this time.

The G6 is a very nice phone.  And the battery life is decent.  You can get by an entire day on a charge.  How are people saying the phones have horrible battery life?  Don't use them at 100% brightness. That's a fast way to even drain a laptop battery without putting the GPUs and CPU's under heavy load....

 

Check the feedback on Amazon.  You don't see people whining about bad battery life there...

 

Just don't run at 100% brightness (again).
