If G6 has the fruit logo, they would have made lots of money...
Brand power is the most important...

    AnonD-3124, 26 Oct 2017Lol if you are watching phonebuff in youtube, note 8 defeat... moreI gosh, if you talking about RAM management and more RAM in general and internal memory speed when yes Note 8 has more Ram and faster flash memory. But if we talking about chipset, please it was discussed millions of times, A10 demolishes exynos 8895 into pieces. Even A9 from 6S demolishes Note 8 exynos 8895, so chipset wise NO it is not faster, RAM wise and flash memory YES

      After LG G2 they started to produce cheap not up to competition flagships and since when things went downhill, V30 looks solid, but G series is just really needs a lot of improvements. Nice try with Poleds, just too late, Samsung amoleds miles ahead, no proprietary chipset again makes you dependable on Qualcomm and not even going to mention booting loops which plague G series for generations

        Anonymous, 26 Oct 2017iPhone 7 Plus still faster than Note 8 Lol.Lol if you are watching phonebuff in youtube, note 8 defeated the iphone 8 plus in their own speedtest. That should go well without mentioning that the note 8 could outrun the iphone 7 plus. The most powerful phone(iphone 8 series) got bested by an android device

          Anonymous, 26 Oct 2017iPhone 7 Plus still faster than Note 8 Lol.A few millisecond difference versus years of productivity between them. Iphone holds nothing against the note in that regard and i'd take the note8 any day.

            LG are really poor at getting their phones to market, The got the g6 out before the s8 but only in some countries by the time it reached other people had already spent their money on a s8. And the Q8 well "what you waiting what you waiting for" still no uk release. To say they compete with samsung is a joke at least samsung gets their products out there.
            LG you either need a kick up the backside to sort your marketing out or shut up shop and go home.
            ps love the ultra wide angle cameras though.

                      LG G6 is not the best, but very very good phone with good price and without significant drawbacks. Definitely worth attention of those who need flagship class device at much more affordable price than current flagships.

                                They cut a number of corners and charged a lot. Which would increase profits.

                                  LG you will never make profit unless you change marketing strategy, all the V30 created at august could have brought LG to a bigger level but no you ruined it with bad marketing its been 2months and V30 is still not released globally and advertise your phone people will not buy it if they do not know what it is how great it is. V30 got everything to succed and is currently best phone one can buy (I still say V20 is better) and fix those oled issues

                                        Simple reason why LG is losing out is because it is very restrictive like iphone and developments is dead thanks to LG not giving users freedom.

                                        Unlike Sony, Samsung and other big brands, development and custom roms barely exist due to LG and their restrictions making it difficult for achieving root and such.

                                        Not only this, let's not forget the famous boot loops!! Many users had this issue and LG did not bother to address this issue nor fix it.

                                        Due to the above reasons I will never buy any LG phone again. Screw LG and their restrictions...
