I use an LG G2 and I got the Nexus 6P yesterday. I'm not sure that I like it. I'm finding that my right hand keep turning the volume down. The LG buttons on the back were great and the home button choice was too. I wanted an LG V10 but I can't understand why it wasn't released here. What's the G4 like?
Well since my thread was resurrected, let me offer some follow up since my original post. It took me probably 2-3 weeks to adjust to the home button switch. While I wish it was an option, I don't even think about it anymore and have completely adjusted. The bigger problem for me at the beginning was the rear buttons. I also was intermittently hitting the side buttons accidentally and feeling around on the back. Today, I have adjusted and again don't think about it. However, I do think that it is a natural place to but the volume buttons, and I wish ALL manufacturers would put them back there, as it is truly very ergonomic. Interesting thing is this though. My wife has a V10, which of course has the rear buttons. I've now been finding myself looking at the side for the volume when I use her phone. Same goes for the on/off button. So, I've basically adjusted my habits without a second thought. If I got another LG phone, I will sing the back button praises as well as the home button adjustability. But I wanted to respond to your specific post, because I think you'll find that you'll adjust. Now if there is one LG feature that I didn't think I would miss but that I still miss to this day, it is the knock on feature (I know it can be rooted, but I don't want to go down that road). Especially with the fingerprint sensor being on the rear of the 6p (and to be fair also on the V10), it would be great if the 6p did have the knock on/off feature on the front of the phone. Hope this helps.
