Long story short - I love it. At the beginning I thought - how it is possible to live with a such large screened phone, but after a month, I can honestly say - it's not so bad. Most of the things I do are typing, which is easy, thanks to Fleksy's compact layout. It's a bit harder to reach far left-top corner, but I do it very rarely, so no biggie. Everything else you can read below.
Shortly - highly recommended!
9/10 - cause battery could be better and size sometimes is a bit much, but everything else just compensates it.
Build Quality: Feels amazing in hand, Build quality is very good.
Camera: Main thing for me was camera, as I am unable to buy and carry a DSLR with me all the time, and I just need camera with manual controls.
16 MP, f/1.8, 28 mm, laser autofocus, OIS, LED flash, Manual controls, DNG - what not to love?
Image quality is mind blowing, and video looks incredible. Best smartphone camera on the market right now and maybe for a while. The S6 camera is great but when I fired up the LG G4 camera I was blown away. I may not be a professional photographer but boy this camera is awesome. Automatic mode is great and fast for the average consumer and Manual mode is awesome(I only used it a little bit but I did see the differences). Much better than almost everything else out there. Hope to see LG V10 manual video options in some kind of update.
Multimedia: Incredible on such screen. Would be 10/10 with front stereo speakers. But still, the back speaker is loud and clear enough for me with clear bass production and this one is great for a back faced one.
Internet: Such speed. Very wow. Much screen.
Text Input: The same as previous phones using Fleksy keyboard with compact, one sided layout. And if I preferred, I could easily switch to full, or split one, and keep writing. It's more than manageable.
UI Speed: Very, very minor hickups here and there. Mostly unnoticable, but had to be said. But extremely rare and for a brief moment.
Display: Fantastic screen! Waiting for my Google Cardboard to fully enjoy QHD. Blacks are extremely dark for a IPS screen, but still lags a bit behind AMOLED, although difference is not so big as I thought. But colors are more natural than those on AMOLED screens.
Battery: It's ok, I guess. It's not a big surprise. It's quite hard to feed 5'5 QHD screen and hexacore CPU. Could be better, but still - acceptable. Sometimes I charge it twice a day, but, to be honest - those are the days I spent browsing or gaming all day. Without those - easily one day.
In a nutshell: a great smartphone! Just a couple of things to fix but the overall quality and UX is fantastic! Best 2015 smartphone for sure.
Pros:
Photo and Video quality
Camera UI, f1.8, manual controls, OIS
QHD screen is beyond amazing. Amazing crisp and clear display. Colours are more vivid.
Leather back makes it unique(Plastic is super cool too)
Multitasking is great
Dedicated button for pulling notification bar down. Simply - AMAZING!
Speaker is very, very loud and clear. Sound and call quality is superb.
Thanks to curved screen, it`s harder to scratch it. I think.
MicroSD card slot
Lots of Ram
Knock Code screen lock
Cons
Battery could be better
Sound quality lacks a bit of punch. But it is understandable - it's not a HiFi audio player. Sounds the same as iPhone 6+, so not a CON actually.
Double LED flash could be amazing, but this one is also very powerful.
When laying on table, it`s somehow difficult to manage volume for a music player. Although it can be done from notification bar.
Hope it will be informative and useful. Thanks!
go for it best phone.:)
