        Guys all 3 phones are excellent and really you cannot regret so badly after you purchase any of them.
        I owned Note 5(My Wife) and Lg V10, I noticed many plus and minus for both which for someone else does matter at all.
        For example..
        Note is lighter with brighter screen and battery last longer.

        LG is more beautiful feels more solid and it is faster in everyday use.

        When it comes to Notes Note 5 is the king in software and hardware, while LG app for notes is almost useless.

        when it comes to multitasking LG is the King with second screen, and apps are not reloading from the beginning.(It happens sometimes in My Note).

        Now for the battery I don't really care and the reason is that all of us we are charging the cell every night.. so unless you wanna see videos or play games all day..it is not big deal.. because in this case you will need a external battery pack anyway...

        For Nexus I can't say I dont have it.

        For me / V10 and Note are both excellent with different ways!

              I don't understand how they test the audio quality of LG V10..... Whether they trigger the ESS Sabre DAC or not..... I own one and the audio quality is leaps and bounds ahead of anything I've heard, and it has an adaptable amplifier as-well. (Technically can power ANY headphone/earphone.)

                    Meizu surprised me with its camera performance. Waiting for it to launch in my country. Offers some solid specs for the price it asks and the Flyme Ui is smooth too.

                      Nice review. Camera quality of Note5 is quite debatable. Expected a lot from it. Except Battery for an Average User LG V10 looks like a good option. Nexus for developers. And Note5 hands down for business purpose my Dad owns one and uses S pen frequently it got a lot better with the new iteration.

                        The Nexus 6P most definitely does have video out through its USB type C connection. Google themselves sells a USB - C to HDMI connector. It even supports 4k output.

                          That pic with Note5 near the wireless charger it's photoshopped I guess coz the camera hump is not that thin. Looks like it's an official pic. Samsung is known to photoshop their mobiles design in official pocs

It's not bad but the low light pictures turn out to have a grey layer on it because the phone lightens the whole scene up. With this you can get a bright image but never a good one. The g4 additionally totally blows out light sources, I really don't know why anyone would call a phone low light king that cannot get colors but has bad highlights at low light. The pictures are bright, OK, I get it but they don't look good...

Okay.Several sources for you below and my did lag like hell so I sold it....had note5 for two months and it's awesome phone but lag issues where unbearable. luckily I always have two phones at my disposal so I endured the sh*t for two months and tried to fix it only option was custom rom in the end but that would be stupid to loose main feature like Spen and void warranty rooting the phone so it was easier for me to sell it...staying away from anything that is running touchwiz is best option.

                                  some people claim that their phones don't lag(maybe different firmware for different regions) but I doubt it since touchwiz always had this issues and they only got worst in Note5 and S6....

                                      Holy shit...meizu pro 5 has got the best picture quality.
                                      better than other crappy zperia Z or Moto X 21MP cameras

                                        Still missing the explanation how the HDR+ mode in the nexus was handled. Cannot understand why anyone would prefer a note 5 in terms of camera over the nexus. The 6p has other problems, mine is bend for example. Yes, I bend in my pocket but google promised me an exchange phone. So overall built quality is a drawback with the 6p but the camera should rating should go to it, I shoot several 1000 of pictures with the galaxy s6 and with the nexus so I should know :D
