      LG G6 with Android One.

        The only drawback of LG is unlike samsung they spend on R&D while the latter spends on digital marketing and advertisements

          LG crapware. Had the Nexus 4 & 5, G4. All of them had hardware problems. The 5 and G4 were gradually replaced piece by piece in the warranty period. You name it: main boards, screens, batteries. The curious thing is my G4 didn't suffered from the bootloop issue. Plus the lies about Android upgrades that were never released (G4). How can they be trusted when they failed so many times and simply ignored their customers? Let them be forgotten.

            Worst in quality, worst in updates, worst in support - it's all about LG phones.

              Absolutely right words from GSm Arena..

                Gold is more valuable than these naked, overpriced, money stealing new phones. What you get when it breaks NOTHING.

                  LG New Chocolate. Take that 21:9 ratio since 2009! LG living in the future. Lol. Yet, people still complaining 18:9 ratio in 2018.

                    Oh dear god. Such a fun nostalgic ride! I really enjoyed the LG cookie plus btw. It felt like a galaxy note but on a MUCH tinier body! XD

                      LG shine is missing in this article. That premium slider phone with all metal body and shiny look.

                        G3 does not have fingerprint sensor, does it?

                          NichtsGemacht, 12 Aug 2018How do you know?Simple. The most obvious part of Oppo's smartphones is the copycat ColorOS.

                                V20 and Nexus 5X are the most beautiful LG phones to me. If only they would come with upgraded specs now..

                                  Oppo sucks in real life.

                                    I am interested in seeing next years LG mobile handsets. I hope that the ability to take screenshots in incognito mode is an option using LG Android devices is existant next year with ease.

                                      I remember LG purely for it's Nexus line up.
                                      Though it was dominated by Google, I loved the design back then. I still feel Nexus 5 and 5x were the best gadgets churned out by LG.

                                      If LG revives 5x design( after solving out bootloop issues) with Android One program, it will still work and get LG out of it's lull period.
