LG G5 only with new display screen "WOLED (WRGB)" have to be really hit in 2016, if comming or nothing of LG G5!!!!

    I dont expect nothing this time, i for one was extremely dissapointed from G4.
    G2 was the best LG ever, that led to buy the G3, wich was quite a dissapointment because of its battery endurance. The 2.5k resolution is really taking a toll and LG should step down as the +320ppi, doesnt really gives any kind of a practical advantage. A 1080p screen would do just fone and would help the performance and battery endurance quite a lot.
    But the greatest dissapointment was what they did with their bazels, one of the 3 things i loved on G2, after the top notch battery endurance and performance was its body-to-screen-ratio. It is essentially important on phablets, since you carry such a brick anyways, to make it count as screen estate. LG used to have a 75% index on their flagships, but in 2015 with Nexus 5X, G4 and V10 it dropped to 70%, like any other flagship, but unlike the other who have stereo front speakers, or capacitive buttons, or water resistance, LG has none of it, no excuse to drop one of their most valued corporate characteristic, one of the main reason a user would opt for the LG flagship instead of another, one of their characteristic trademarks, a unique advantage.
    G4 was the worst performer among the flagships (except the late ONE X9),with the worst battery and probably the biggest frame, as Z5, S6, iphone 6s were along easier on the hand.
    The G series keep growing and growing and their bazels are not helping the phone to keep it mobile and this is about to get worse, this time they will get the SD 820 too, but they propably again have the worst performance, as the S7 and iphone 7 are bound to be faster and Sony, HTC and and army of chinese makers will opt for 1080p screens.
    The bazels will be even worse, as they will go for a second screen, like they did with V10.
    And the battery endurance too, as they will make it thinner and the 2,5k screen will eat away the most juice than any other competitor with the same 820
    G3 is probably going to be my last LG...

Before you say it's useless or tacky and whatnot at least it was something fresh and innovative, before the Edge few manufacturers were making any changes to their hardware designs including LG which released the same boring washed up one generation after generation.

LG phones are notorious when it comes to poor battery life and their UI is fugly compared to the upcoming version of TouchWiz, I know I can't believe I said that but it's true.

                          why i bought the lgg4 is the small form factor for a 5.5", no side buttons,leather back,expandable storage and some of the features eg notification button and movable buttons now why would move LG move the size to 5.6 better keep it 5.5 and make it slightly smaller by making the side bezels smaller like the note 5 and a smaller chin which they should be able to do if samsung can have a small chin with fingerprint sensor than lg should have a way smaller chin....... i really dont know what LG is doing ...

                                iPhone 7 will be the best and most beautiful phone in 2016.

                                  If (big if though) I ever wanted to go back to Android, I'd buy an LG or the Nexus 6P. In my opinion LG phones are already ahead of Samsung especially in terms of software.
