I used to have a LG G4 before I bought this. The G4 was in every way a far better phone, especially because of the better camera and the replaceable battery. That is just the kind of deal you don't get with any other flagship ( unless you buy an LG device) . However, I am sad to mention here that the phone literally died in 6 months of usage. And similar reports are coming in from other users buying new devices as well. Unfortunately I had bought an international variant and repairing that was the same as buying a new phone. Obviously, I did not want to take a chance again and went for this instead. This is a phone which does not have one feature which is better than other flagships, but it is still the most balanced phone in terms of features out there. Nice display, good processor, latest firmware, decent sound quality and of course an above average camera. These are the things you would typically need in a phone. The battery backup is also above average, better than the Samsung's along with SD card storage. Most importantly it comes with a genuine warranty which was important to me this time
