Because I changed the battery myself 2 times in order to keep it alive while other non-removable battery smartphone users threw their smartphones away after 1 or 2 yrs as they can't monitor their battery physical quality or lazy to go to service centers to replace their batteries...

          I think LG will keep the micro sd and will increase the capacity of the battery. As its flagships success by them in 2015 and the realistic cost of course.

            [deleted post]Lol you're just upset because it was expensive to remove your Samsung tattoos after the Note 5 didn't overwhelmingly impress you. Stick with your Note 3 and cry.

                  Metal on some area is OK, most has to be in plastic


                  Also, let's hope the battery is user replaceable, memory card expansion available...we need such phone

                          Removable batteries: Gone (maybe some type of tech to eject the battery with a unibody mech?)

                          I'm pretty confident that LG will sustain their flagship line with an microSD tho.

                              Hope they don't sacrifice the SD card

                                There goes removable batteries. I hope they give us SD card support, at least.

                                  BATTERY LIFE! All lg g series are low battery endurance they have improve it ex lg v10 has low endurance.
                                  And metal or woody body is not necessary according to my point of view

                                      I will no longer support LG if they go this route. Removable batteries and expandable storage are still big selling points.

                                        How about getting the V10 on the market first? It's been 6 weeks and still no sign of release in the UK.
