What are the features of this phone to persuade me to buy it?

I'm planning on getting an htc one in the next day or two but I'm still open to different phones. So what are some cool features of this phone other than the big screen?

Well id say the customizability on the stock rom is second to none. Everything down to icons and size on the homescreen can be changed. Looking around this thing ive seen customization options ive never seen on modded roms much less stock. The multitasking with the qslide apps can come in handy here and there. Plus it supports wireless charging out of the box something thats likely impossible on the one due to the aluminum unibody. The camera is better hands down in every review ive seen and while the screen is bigger, it seems brighter and more true to life (only got to play with the one for about 20mins while I waited for a rep at att). Also battery life is amazing I get a full days use no problem. Plus my experience with phones has shown that samsung seriously lacks in build quality and duribility compared to lg. Ive said many times, u wanna see the real difference between lg and samsung take one device from each and throwem down a hallway... while htc has always been a little better, the one seems indestructible lol I spent weeks going between the sgs4, htc one, lgogpro and sony xperia z. Based on the total package and especially price lgogpro is the way to go.

Yes, can confirm, LG is better in terms of h/w, than software updates is their wellknown weakest point

In addition: you get a 1.7 Ghz quad-core CPU, a removable battery, 32 GB of storage with an additional 64 GB available via an SD card slot.
I prefer this phone to the HTC One because of its removable battery and SD card slot.
I prefer this phone to the Galaxy S4 because of its lack of TouchWiz garbage and Samsung shovelware (yes, there is some LG shovelware in this phone, but not much).
Finally, try watching an HD video on this phone's screen. It's almost beautiful enough to make a grown man weep.

I have a one to but its too small coming from the note 2. I used my upgrade and got the g pro. With some mods and tweaks its a great device. If we get this boot loader cracked and get aosp it will be the best device around. I say get it and if you don't like it, trade it in for the one.

The screen on the g pro gets brighter than the one. I have the one and the gpro yeah the one's hardware is sexier sure but the gpro is great for a road warrior like me with that awesome battery. Each phone has its pluses. If u want something that's in between get the s4. I had it for a couple weeks. If u can get past that touchwiz crap it's pretty awesome too. The gpro is my favorite of the 3. That led built into the home button is effing sweet.

You mean the software update that wipes the hand oil off your lens for you? I don't think we'll see any phone updates that do that any time soon.

Does anyone else sort of feel like they are using a spec'd out froyo phone?

That lag throughout the OS. Its there and if you deny it you are just in denial because you don't want to admit got paid 600 for something that lags. The OS is also a mess in terms of UI out of the box but there are hidden ways to fix it. Took me forever to figure out how to get rid of those smart action notifications, I had switched to nova launcher but they kept showing up in my notification bar. Speaking of the notification bar reconfigured to mostly be a settings bar, if you scroll to the right at the top of the bar and click edit, you can get your notification space back.

There is lag. It's like when you swipe a long list for example, the page "stick" and you have to wait for a millisecond before swiping again. Some apps take few seconds more to open too. I rooted yesterday and customized the **** out of my phone. Removed bloatware and unwanted features. Changed the font to Roboto. Still kinda feel it is a tad slower than my Z Ultra with GPe. Makes me wonder how this G3 is going to shine with stock Android on it.

i've noticed scrolling lag in virtually every flagship i've owned. (m8, n5, note3, g2)
the only time i had zero scrolling lag was on my n5 when i was on the L preview.
outside of milliseconds of hesitation when scrolling, this phone flies.
if it doesn't you screwed it up or are a liar.
(see how ridiculous that kind of statement sounds?)

I'm not trying to start a debate here or anything I'm just saying what I am experiencing with the phone. Naturally I am expecting more out of this phone than any other flagship phone I have because it is above and beyond better (or as the specs would have me believe).
Like for example swiping from the left in the xda app or the google plus app show the menu. On the G3 there is a noticeable delay before the menu shows. In my Z Ultra the menu just shows smoothly and follows my finger as I move it. It's not as smooth as on the G3.

I returned the G3 after 12 days because of it. When I was trying to quickly multitask it was bad and the frame rate drops were annoying me also. I could accept it at first but eventually it drove me mad and this was after I rooted and debloated. I'm waiting on the more powerful 2k phones until I get one.

How did you manage this?
I've added Roboto TTF font files to my "system/fonts" folder, but they don't appear in the "settings -> font type" menu.
Are they kept in a different folder to stock?

No, no. Don't manually copy them. Use ifont or font changer or romtoolbox. Whatever app you use just be careful as in my experience messing too much with font can cause bootloops. And without any custom recoveries available for the G3 as of this moment you'd be stuck. I personally used all of those three and I find ifont better as it replaces the whole set and all weights not just the default.

I still like the phone in general. And I can't exchange it with another brand or model as this is subsidized by a carrier. But I plan to buy an M8 in a few months and convert it to a GPe version.

The M8 is the smoothest Android phone I've ever used, even on stock . The frame rate is consistent and it hardly ever lags. The only problem is, it's got a terrible camera.

I must agree with the people who experience lag and delays throughout the system. My first impression also was that it wasn't blazing fast, at least not at fast as I expected... But I did not buy this phone for the lg system/ecosystem. The first thing I did: install nova launcher prime. And I must say I have a smoother experience in the launcher department thanks to it.. For the rest: apps run fast, multitasking runs fairly smooth (although sometimes my recent apps are empty for some reason - just go back to home and my recent apps reappear).
I am not going to say this is a beast of a phone but it is decent, especially when you take in count all those pixels it has to push.
If you don't like it, feel free to change. But I am sure there are a lot of persons who really like this phone, including me.

I don't understand what you people are doing to see lag on this phone.. Although I've seen many posts saying that the T-Mobile version is much snappier than the att version.. Maybe due to bloat? Idk I'm completely stock running the GEL launcher and it's so much smoother than my nexus 5 (on L) or gs5

I dont have any lag issues and am running nova anyway.
The phone has its issues but i think its worth persevering with because its decently priced, the screen is excellent and you can actually do things about the battery life and screen with little or no effort. The camera on this thing really is great.

I'm with you. My only experience with Android devices is the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5, which is said to be the smoothest Android experience available. I just don't see this lag that people go on and on about. Then again, I'm a minimalist user so I got rid of the weather widget, I got rid of the animations(which is the same thing I do on the Nexus 4 and 5 anyway). I still use the LG stock launcher and I am using ART
Believe me, since I work from home I use my phone a lot. I dunno, maybe it's faulty units, maybe the device just works well for me because of my minimalistic settings. I have certainly disabled and uninstalled as much bloat as I could without needing root access.

The camera on the m8 is beyond bad. What was htc thinking with 4mp, you can't zoom, expand, or crop at all.

This phone reminds me of the Motorola Droid X2, great specs on paper but poor performance. Music would actually skip on the x2 if you tried to do something else while listening. That's similar to the scale of the aux bug on this phone.

after debloating and switching launchers (nova) i have found no more than the occasional lag i've seen in every other flagship (i've had them all aside from the gs5)
as for the sidebar stutter, i've never had that happen either, the only consistent stutter i get is scrolling lag in facebook, which i've seen in every other phone aside from the nexus 5 while on the L preview.

sorry, i meant to quote the OP

G4 or Nexus 6?

I'm looking to finally replace my aging S3 with one of these devices. I've tried both in the store and both seem comfortable in my hands, so I'm mostly debating Nexus and updates vs. camera quality (mostly pictures/videos of children). Though having used amoled for my previous phones (S3 and Vibrant), I'm not sure how I feel about IPS, though the screen on the G4 does look better in the store.
I also have a Nexus 10 (bought for the screen resolution) and found the Samsung tablet interfaces almost unusable by comparison. Though Samsung phones haven't bothered me as much.
Any particular comparison points from people who have used both?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Free mobile app

Kinda depends on what is important to you. I have used the nexus 6 and they are a great phone. But being able to replace a battery and stick a microsd card in are important to me. Mainly because I am finding my devices are having a longer and longer life so the batteries dying becomes more noticeable.
Both phones have more than enough grunt and having owned an g2 & a g3 have found LG is good for pushing andriod updates (so far anyway)

Didn't notice that. Doesn't seem to have received many responses from people with a G4 in hand, though.
I've managed to live within 16GB to this point (though I definitely need more now) so I'm pretty sure 64 will be plenty. Price from T-Mobile is identical, so that isn't even a differentiation.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Free mobile app

Gotta weigh the options of each. Right now the G4 can have the extra 128gb card, extra battery and charger. Nexus 6 has a worse screen, is top heavy no upgradable memory or swappable battery, worse camera and no led notification.
The nexus has dual speakers, but trying both phones side by side for sound, it isn't that huge of a difference IMO.
The G4 is also more comfortable and more pocketable due to it's size.

I have both phones and have to say that the nexus 6 updated to 5.1.1 with a custom kernel is hands down the fastest device I've ever used no question about it. I love the camera and the removable battery of the g4 they are my main selling points for switching from the nexus. You can't go wrong though both are fantastic devices

Just to lead off that, I also have the G3 running AOSP 5.1.1 and it also is blazing fast, it seems more to do with the OS than the hardware itself. Assuming we get root, there will likely be G4 AOSP ROMs as well.
I didn't own the N6, but I did consider it. For me, since it's already June and the next Nexus will likely come out this fall, I would personally wait. I plan on getting the next Nexus if the 5.7" rumor is true, and I just got my G4.

This literally might be one of the worst smartphone cameras i have ever had. Does anyone agree? I feel tricked. I might sell this phone and get the z4v. The lack of enthusiasm here even shows little promise to me that this phone is even slightly future proof.

Not much improvement after the firmware update either. It really is garbage for trying to focus and just overall quality in general. Not a deal breaker for me but just disappointing.

The best thing about firmware update is the battery doesn't overheat nearly as much. As for camera... It's still eh in my book.

I dumped HTC for a gs4 when it came out and while I loved the camera on the s4, everything else sucked. Touchwiz is slow and bloated, even when rooted, tweaked, debloated, etc. Even an Intel i7 couldn't make touchwiz fast. I quickly realized camera wasn't that big of a deal. Nothing that I've had to date has beaten the camera of my HTC rezound. I wish I would've kept it to use just as a camera. As for this one, like the m8 it takes some playing around with the settings to get optimal results. It's a pain sometimes, yes, I'd like to just pull out my phone and snap a quick quality pic but I can live with it. This camera wins some and loses some battles vs iPhone and Samsung. Bottom line. Is this camera great? No. Is it as bad as the bashers make it seem? No. It's somewhere in the middle. I haven't played with it after updating to 5.1 yet but I'm sure it didn't get worse.

So do I. I'm hoping they come up with something good for the m10. They need to change it up a bit. Dump the 8 core, up the speaker volume, focus on the rear camera quality instead of MP. I'd like a note equivalent option as well.

Well it's way better than my m8 ..so that's a plus. Not really a camera guy, usually is the wife that goes crazy with pics.

I 100% agree with that, i do buy a phone for a good camera, as i take alot of random pictures. With the 5.1 update, that camera has been fixed IMMENSELY.... Im not saying it went from crap to great (my wife's S6 destroys this thing), but it is tolerable now. I think the camera can be made better still with software improvements, but at least it is on the right track.

The Panasonic CM1 is enough to replace a camera. Perhaps not a full frame but it's good enough! It just needs OIS :/ (and a lower price).

It would be really great if someone would take and post some controlled pictures before and after getting the 5.1 upgrade.

What to do?! Current G4 User

Ok first off, I owned the lg g3, then the note 4, then the note edge, then the s6 edge and now the G4. Ok, my problem is I'm coming from the G4 and I'm having several issues after replacing a G4 only 4 days after having it. It has reboot issues and 2 dead pixels on the screen already. I'll watch a YouTube video and then hit home button and the YouTube sound plays in the background and it's odd. And I've noticed a lot of lag. (same issues I had with s6 edge and note edge). Has anyone come from the G4 or s6 edge and enjoy this phone without regrets? I wanna make a good move on my end.

I have not seen those sorts of issues. Certainly not YouTube audio continuing. I do get occasional lag when going back to the Home screen, it acts as if the launcher has to re-load or something, it takes a second or two, then all the icons appear again. But I have not been able to figure out a pattern to this.

If you are having these problems you should find out if you are buying a brand new phone or not and then sell what you have and get the nexus 6 from a reliable source. Preferably your carrier website or store. 28mobile sells legit unlocked phones if thats what your want.

I'm asking simply if the nexus 6 is a great choice to switch to.

So youtube has a background play feature might want to see if you have it on. Lag when going to the home screen, happens on pretty much every phone out there and reboot issues? How so?
Also dead pixels are something you c an get a replacement for

Ok first off, I owned the lg g3, then the note 4, then the note edge, then the s6 edge and now the G4. Ok, my problem is I'm coming from the G4 and I'm having several issues after replacing a G4 only 4 days after having it. It has reboot issues and 2 dead pixels on the screen already. I'll watch a YouTube video and then hit home button and the YouTube sound plays in the background and it's odd. And I've noticed a lot of lag. (same issues I had with s6 edge and note edge). Has anyone come from the G4 or s6 edge and enjoy this phone without regrets? I wanna make a good move on my end.

That's interesting! Where you find that? I looked in my Youtube app but didn't notice anything about that.
It would be nice to leave Youtube playing in the background sometimes, just for audio.

It's a feature. Comes with Google play music subscription. "YouTube music key"

I can concur with the youtube playing in the background... its supposed to do that...

disabling dual window helps with lag going to home screen

Hmm, this sounds like a paid service? That's too bad, I was hoping it was just a setting hidden somewhere
As for lag when going back to the Home screen, I have Dual Windows disabled, but I still sometimes get Home lag behavior, where the icons don't appear for a few seconds.

Using lg g2 now for fun and trust me it is faster

Guys, lol, I coming from a g4 and wondering if switching to the nexus 6 sound be a good idea. I held a nexus 6 and my g4 and the camera on the front want that bad. Still took decent shots and looked pretty good. ( don't take many selfies) And yeah the screen was dim compared. But I want others opinions. I to sell the g4 For about $450 and buy a nexus 6 and wireless charger. Wanted to know what others felt about the nexus 6 and such. I don't need those extra gimmicks and such.

Disable lg smart card and remove lg smart weather widget, turn off lg smart settings. Freeze carrier bloat.
Remove user installed apps, some app you had on edge s6 doing same to g4.
Note most replacements are refurbs...

I loved my n6, but its hardware is dated, the cameras and screen in sunlight are better on g4. Removable battery, sd card, made the g4 a better option for me. Ymmv
Note. Nexus 2015 out soon tm.

I've owned both. Tbh, the 6 was cool but felt old after a short while. The speakers are nice, but that's about it. The screen sucks period! Being limited on storage and battery is a burden to me.. I like swapping batteries and carrying more than 32gb of stuff.

Well I plan to root the phone and play around with it. Not keeping it stock.

You see I could care less about swapping batteries and I use cloud storages to store all my content anyways so the 32gb never gets used honestly. The screen is not that bad in the nexus 6.

Take it in the bright sun. Lines everywhere. Almost like scratches. The uneven red color and yellow color sucks too. I've seen 4-5 and all have it if some sort.

What you mean exactly? So you don't recommend the nexus 6 at all?

Vs g4? Nope, can't recommend the nexus.
Corners were obviously cut to make it, yet it still carried a premium price.
