    My G5 has the worst standby time vs my S7e and Pixel both on Nougat but it isn't that bad at 2% overnight and SOT is decent. I wanted the new and improved Doze but decided against it.

    I like the notification system and settings menu better on the G5. I didn't want Nougat to change it as well as I didn't want to lose the Flappy Android Easter egg.

    Nougat is fine on both my S7e and Pixel but I wouldn't say I noticed a huge difference between it vs G5 on Marshmallow. G5 on MM is pretty smooth already. Curious if G5 on N improves battery life though.

                  Very happy. The only issue. It sometimes heats a lots even when no app is running or is on charging.

                  My query is when H860N - India will get Android N update ?

                      AnonD-308035, 14 Apr 2017I want to buy new phone but can't decide between g5 and HTC 10I had the HTC 10 for a week why I chose to return and keep G5:

                      All cameras seemed better and wide angle is awesome, rear finger print coupled with knock knock code, IR blaster, charges to 100 way faster, 5hrs screen on time, and number one reason:

                      Replaceable battery.

                      And I actually don't have any modules but in all honesty what an amazing concept to have a removeable chin. I spilled beer on my LG and had to replace my power button.

                      But then... Just recently I guess the liquid damage finally reared its ugly head again and my charging port and speaker were working on and off. Unreliable and frustrating. But then... It was a $20 solution. I bought a new chin on online and no more problems. Even the clips to the battery were solid again.

                      So yeah I'm still loving my G5... But then again... I also still hate seeing the lightbleed on farmers screen images. Meh. Ill still keep her as a backup when I upgrade though ;D

                      Alright good luck!

                        AnonD-308035, 14 Apr 2017I want to buy new phone but can't decide between g5 and HTC 10I have both and my G5 beats the HTC 10 hands down for battery life and also the always on display is extremely useful and it just does everything really well but the HTC 10 has slightly better sound and build quality and customisation but its battery life is rubbish.

                        Personally I'd say get the G5

                              The fact is LG wants to promote its new launches which have Nougat pre installed. Hence they don't care to update the existing ones. Pathetic customer service . Don't buy LG

                                    have tried a lot of blue light filter to remedy the screen burn but only so far has worked! Been using it for 3 months now and been working perfectly. Just search it in Google Play store sFilter. :)
