I agree! I will rarely swap the battery day-to-day, but will definitely replace the battery when it ages and isn't holding as much of a charge. I have a three year old S4 on it's third battery. If I got a new phone every year, this probably wouldn't matter. However, I kept this S4 and the Razr before it for over three years.
I could maybe baby the S7/S7E fixed battery and live with it, but the glass back is the deal breaker for me. I haven't broken a phone in a very long time, but I know in my bones that I would have a crack in that glass long before I would be ready to change phones, and a crack, even if hidden, will drive me crazy. I won't use a bulky case, as my favorite purse is rather small and a big case on a big phone just won't work with it. I believe the aluminum G5 will have a much better life expectancy.
I don't understand LG's reasoning with the app drawer. I can understand turning it off by default to make it a bit more iPhone like. But removing the option for the classic app drawer (I understand there is a accessibility, larger icon mode with an app drawer) is bogus.
Yes, I can use Nova, but I would like to keep the cool features like Knock On... However, if I have to choose on over the other, Nova and the app drawer are going to win. There is no way I'll be able to keep up with moving icons into a folder as an app drawer substitute. I'm not that organized, and my phone screen would be a mess in between reorganizing it. Maybe LG will flex on this after release.
Just an fyi, knock on will still work even when using Nova launcher, but knock off won't. However, you can enable knock off in Nova via the gesture settings.
