Am I alone thinking that the LG G6 doesn't get enough coverage?

[ffejjj]

I for one prefer the G6 and spent my money according. I like the flat display, the true to life colors. The camera is one of the best in a phone and the wide angle lens sets it apart from the rest.

I'm not sure there's a better value on the market right now. For the features this phone offers it's pretty hard to beat, especially at $500. The flat display and wide angle lens set it apart from the other flagships.

Now if LG would do me a solid.

Put out the V30 with a near 6"display, same build materials and quality, 835 chip, unlocked, and android O...

Oh, keep that excellent fingerprint scanner location as well.

Think about it.

I think that's very likely. If they do though, and use a non-removable battery to add water resistance, I hope they put a 4000mah. With this form factor and the V series features it would be an excellent option over the Note series.

As of now the 2 phones I'm waiting to try is the OnePlus 5 and the V30. I was waiting for the Note 8 but I'm over the whole Samsung debacles and inability to make a lag free device.

I'm hearing the lag both ways on the S8. Some day it's crazy bad, some day it's normal Samsung lag and some day there's no lag at all. Pretty much what was said about the Note 7 and S7.

Motorola learned its lesson after the Droid X and got rid of Motoblur.
It may be boring to some but the closer you stay to stock Android the better off you are.

Huh? Not really sure what you're referring to lol.

You clearly did not read anything that I posted when this started.

500 at T-Mobile vs 750. All other specs are subjective and half of the "features" aren't even fully functional. The absolute only thing we compared was storage for a reason. Many of us on here feel the G6 is superior in every other way, hence the subjective comment.

You cannot just start throwing current sale prices around. When both phones were going through their releases the pricing playing field was level and the s8 offers more. Now the discounts make the g6 a very sensible option, but again this leads up to LG s marketing blunders. It should have been closer to 500 out the door.

Sure I can when I'm directly comparing the 2 based on their current pricing. Which is exactly what I mentioned in the post.

At the normal pricing it's a comparison of personal preference only.

Lag.... Usually the stuff they add to stock Android kills your experience.

Gotcha. Yeah I'd prefer they keep it pretty simple. LG seems to have a pretty light skin compared to some other phones I've used. It's definitely there but I don't mind it at all.

 

[jeffmd]

Sure I can

Not when your asking yourself "why are all these people buying the s8 when the g6 is so very simular and now $300 cheaper!". It WASN'T that cheap when people bought them! Now you have all these s8 owners still happy with their purchase and LG once again misses a chance to boost their user base.

I wasn't asking that, in fact I never asked that. Not sure where you got that idea from considering all we were talking about was storage capacity.

I also wouldn't say "all these S8 users are still happy" considering quite a few of us left the S8 to come back to the G6.

Btw, LG sales are up due to the G6 so it seems they have boosted their user base just fine.

You do know a few people on a forum isn't representative of how S8 owners on a whole feel about the phone.

Yep, which is why I didnt generalize an entire user group as some seem to want to do.

Ive been very careful on how to word things in this thread because I know how people who love their device react to any criticism lol. The fact of the matter is no 2 devices will be the same for multiple people. Some people feel device a is superior and some feel device b is superior due to various scenarios and features.

My original post was very clear. The average user will never come near using 32gb of storage as proven by those models being the most popular of a series with larger options. Phones are sold to an average user audience and explains why LG felt 32gb was acceptable, and to most it is.

The last part of the original comment was in regards to todays current pricing and value between devices. People either didnt read what was stated or chose to interpret things differently.

So far the biggest push back on those comments are "the phone is on sale", which I acknowledged and "32gb is not enough for me" which I explained, they are not the target audience.

As for which device is better, the only answer to that is which one that particular person chose. I see this on Apple forums, Samsung sections, LG sections, gun forums etc etc. People always think the one they chose is the end all be all and how dare you think differently. Once you say its a "fact", well then you get to prove that. In the case of phones, the only "fact" is everyone chooses what they deem the best. Even some of the reviewers on this site need to stay away from the word "fact" considering they are giving their opinion.

As for the OP's original comment, Samsung notoriously spends tons of cash on marketing. Its one of LG's downfalls even in the TV market where I feel LG has a better product. That marketing seems to carry over here simply because there is a much larger user base for Samsung.

lol, I thought this got settled. The S8 having a more accurate display is a fact. It is literally the most accurate display on any Android device. This is one of the facts that you stated was my opinion. It isn't; it's a reflection of a mathematical statement indicating that the average variance from set values on the S8 display is less than the average variance on all other Android devices to date. The math does not take into account whether or not any person or group of people prefers one over another.

The camera ranking is interesting, because opinions are the biggest problem in the business. Example here: LG G6 emerges victorious over the Galaxy S8, iPhone 7, and the Pixel in our blind comparison

Now, we know that the Pixel XL is a better camera, objectively, than the S8 and the iPhone 7 and we know that the S8 is better than the iPhone 7. However people voted different, because they a) don't have any specialized equipment to test the photos, b) don't have access to the actual scene or a perfect reproduction of it c) don't know anything about photography, when compared to actual experts who test cameras for a living and d) are trying to eyeball the differences in cameras that are way too close to call without the equipment referenced in a.

We don't have an objective analysis of the G6 yet, however we do have a preponderance of sites stating that it comes close to the S8 in quality, but doesn't quite match it. But all of those sites... have all 4 of the aforementioned problems, with just a little bit more knowledge and context than the average person... but not much. So the probability is extremely high that the G6 ranks above the iPhone 7 and below the S8.

Once the official results are published, then we will know the answer to which one is objectively better - and that debate is over. The part that isn't over, is which one each person will choose that they prefer, which is your point - but that won't change which one is actually better. Better is a statement of the mathematical ranking, while preferred is a statement of each consumer's desires matched up to their perceptions.

Hope that sheds some light into the usage of the word "fact" as intended - to represent verifiable objective statements that can be proven with scientific evidence which is not subject to any person's or organizations interpretation or preferences.

Mod Note

Sigh -- sorry OP looks like you are correct. Going to have to temporarily close this since people can't seem to understand that personal attacks and such aren't cool. Ignoring the post (or putting the person you don't want to talk to on ignore) are the ways to go about it but constantly posting in the thread .. either about the person or "indirectly" about the person -- not cool.

Temporarily closing since this is taking a lot of mod time up to go through. I suggest the related parties read this, understand it, and PM me if you have questions. It really isn't that hard to use the ignore feature so if you need help let me know. Indirect attacks and other things aren't needed.
