My friend just replaced his G3 because of bootloop issue, about 1 month out of warranty. Replaced it with a G4 and after a month got the boot loop on that phone as well. I think there was news recently that LG is giving full refunds for the Nexus 5X cause of bootloop issue and they don't have parts to fix the affected phones, hence the refunds. I think there is a fundamental problem with their manufacturing process and/or hardware.
Actually the OnePlus 3T is available for pre-order now (Gunmetal 64 GB, ships in 4 weeks). Too bad the Soft Gold is only available in 64 GB.bembol wrote: ↑ OnePlus 3t. Had the 3, three times this year. Waiting for the Soft Gold 3t.
Coming from an iPhone 7 Plus and Google Pixel XL user.
Even if it cost $899 I love the Dual SIM, Dash Charging is THE fastest and of course Oxygen OS, the closest to Google's Pixel. The $649 (128GB) is what makes it the best not to mention IMO it's the BEST DESIGN next to hTc's One M7.
Not going to comment on the Camera, IMO it works and good enough this obsession of wanting the best makes no sense to me.
I had a G3 bootlooping and I fixed it by replacing the battery. The phone was quite old and I probably exceeded the 500 charge cycles that the stock battery was rated for. Only the G4 experienced any type of bootloop issue and LG was very good about replacing them even out of warranty, and from what I gather the newer models do not suffer from that issue any more to any significant extent.hshot_rooke wrote: ↑ My friend just replaced his G3 because of bootloop issue, about 1 month out of warranty.

Needless to say, my friend is super super pissed.
And none of those phones are the G5, which is the phone in question.hshot_rooke wrote: ↑ My friend just replaced his G3 because of bootloop issue, about 1 month out of warranty.

LG G5 is one of the best deals for highend phones in Canada. By the same logic, the best modular phone is however Moto Z play (which can be had for similar price).SickBeast wrote: ↑ So to respond to the thread, "best phone" in what way?
The best deal on a high end smartphone this year was by far the LG G5 through Koodo for $360 minus a $50 gift card. Sure, the Galaxy S7 is a nicer phone but it costs more than twice as much for a marginal difference. The iPhone 7 is up there as well but it costs even more than the Samsung, particularly if you want any type of decent storage option. My brother in law paid $1400CAD for the 256gb iPhone 7 Plus. Crazy IMO. Sure, it's probably the nicest phone on the market, but you do have to consider cost.
So, in terms of nicest high end phone for the money, my vote is for the LG G5. In terms of nicest phone if cost is no object, I am calling it a tie between the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the iPhone 7 Plus, depending on which OS you prefer.
My apologies...lost my thought in the LG bootloop issues and didn't relate it back to original topic. Have read that the LG G5 also has bootloop issues. Maybe not as widespread, but maybe a knock against it for being 'Best Phone 2016'
5.5 inch screen with BB security. The other phones can't compare.
