Why LG is going to release another 5.5"+ mobile phone - Samsung 5.1", Apple 4.7". I don't understand the idea of phabled like smatphone - this is why LG is loosing the customers.

      Anonymous, 19 Jan 2016Past leaks have showno that there might be a slot at the bo... moreYou are probbably right, there will be some kind of battery slot - much like the long forgotten Sony Ericsson K850 had... I personally think that is unnecessary and prefer a larger non-removable battery instead of the removable one with less capacity. Why? Well because that slot with it's mechanism will surely increase the production cost and will be a pain in the ass if damaged. It will probbably be expensive to repair, should it get damaged if you drop the phone... And all of that for what, a removable battery that maybe 5% of users will be actualy able to replace with a spare one?? Cmon LG, i love your phones but i believe it's time to focus on other things. There are other ways to fight samsung and the others... About that ticker display (second screen) gimmick, i would leave that for the V20 (or whatever the name of the V10 successor will be). I'm not happy about the size either. We need a smaller phone, more compact body with the same size screen (or even a bit smaller). No need to go bigger than 5.5". G3 was a very good example of a "compact" phone with a large screen...

        AnonD-240773, 19 Jan 2016I smell sarcasm :) I wish all companies should realize go b... moreWe are in 2016, QHD displays should be the minimum standard resolution for FLAGSHIP phones which cost more than $600+. I was also against QHD displays in late 2014 and 2015, because technology had not evolved at that point in time. Now, we are getting far better chipsets which go easy on battery, also efficient QHD displays - so it is time all FLAGSHIPs come with QHD resolution. If you are satisfied with FHD displays (like me), then look out for Android mid-rangers powered by SD 650 or SD 652 in this year. Those chipsets will have EXCELLENT performance while going easy on battery for FHD resoultion phones. We (people who don't need more than FHD resolution) don't need to worry about flagship phones, and just concentrate on midrange phones.

        Bottomline is - technology has evolved, so should FLAGSHIP phones which cost a fortune.

I will be able to zoom in without loosing much quality. So 4K would be nice yes.

                    I am not able to see any difference between HD and 4K on any mobile device with a screensize less then 8-10 inch.

                        How on earth does a 4K screen give you high resolution shots? Do you mean you can view your photos and videos in high resolution or do you mean the 4K screen contributes to taking high resolution photos?
