S8+ vs LG G6 day-to-day performance (not benchmarks)

[zipro]

Ok, so I've literally got 2 days left to get the G6 for 549 instead of 749.- Right now I have the S8+ and I've been seeing some major issues with it - one of them is that it constantly drops calls and the other one is performance. It just slows down after every reboot. I've already resorted to rebooting it twice a day, but man that's annoying.

So for those who've come from the S8+ - is the performance better on the LG G6?

Sounds like you ha e a defective phone.. my s8+ I've had for 5weeks now and it's fantastic. It did have a couple small quirks that were resolved with wiping cache.

The phone is fine - I had it exchanged 3 times because of the pink screen issue and every one of them was exactly the same. Seems to be a general issue with the Exynos version - but reading in this and other forums, there are plenty of people with the Qualcomm ones that also see lag and slow-downs.

I have - I'm only interested in performance however and I've only seen about 2 posts about that - hence the question.

64g and hifi dac were not US phones right?

I had two S8+ before the G6 I have now. This is definitely faster, even with the older processor. Both S8+ I had lagged.

Too bad we have the "standard" version in the US!

At least you've got wireless charging. In Europe we have neither and only the 32gb version. And it retails for 749$

And water resistant.

No kidding? I bought mine for $650, and shortly thereafter (just outside of my carrier's return window, of course), they lowered the price to $500.

Same with me. And my second phone for my wife had the same thing happen but with the current $11.99 a month promo.

I just got mine yesterday for $500. So far love it.

They're running a promo right now here where you can send in any old phone and get the G6 for 549.- instead of 749.-

Luckily I sent my original back to try the s8. I jist switched back to the g6 and got the 500 price. Worked out.

Assuming both phones aren't part of a defective batch, they should perform similarly.

The LG device runs an older processor, but there's very little difference in daily performance between the 2. The G6 might be more consistent as it doesn't have a bunch of services running in the background, however.

I had an s8 and s8+ and switched to the g6. Overall the phone is just smoother regardless of the older processor. Its just better optimized. Luckily I got my g6 for free with the tmobile BOGO that lasted 5 days. Got the check for the 2nd one before the 14 day return window ended so I just returned the second one and the check covered the cost of the 1st one.

While this thread is about S8 vs G6 performance, I felt the need to comment on your comment. While it's nice that you are enjoying the G6 and find the performance smoother (as some of us do), duping TMobile out of their BOGO offer doesn't add to the conversation at all. Don't be surprised if billing catches on retracts the offer by applying the full cost of the device to your bill. The BOGO promotion theoretically allowed subscribers to have each device for 50% off which is what alot of other carriers are offering.
