From LG G4 to G5 - will I like G5?

[majbrittgl]

I love my G4, but it bootlooped and was fixed.

Then the display got dark and it was because it had been damaged, so I had it replaced and paid about 3/4 of what a new G4 cost now a days. But because of the bootloop issue I was afraid to get a brand new G4.

It's been two weeks and the screen issue has returned, although only temporarely. The first 8-10 times the screen went dark, it came back rather fast. So I need to talk to the repair people about that and I assume my phone is a lost cause.

I need a new phone, but I love my G4 and would buy another again if there wasn't a risk for the bootloop.

The reasons I love my G4 compared to previous phones (which were also LG ones):

The start button on the back.
The volumen buttons on the back.
The camera is great.
The screen is so clear and big.
The knock on function.
Quick charge 2.0
Big battery

How are those things on the G5. Some are the same and some are different, right?

Also, I have experienced on my G4, G3 s (or mini - the small cheaper one) and Optimus G E975 that my mp3 file could not play suddenly. Really annoying when you're a zumba instructor and the phone just skips a song in the play list. Is this an android problem or only LG?

For the skipping bit, can't say I've ever experienced it.

Otherwise very close to the same, my wife has the G4 and the biggest differences are volume buttons on the side (which i like compared to the G2 I've had before) and the G5 doesn't do split screen like the G4, likely due to screen size. I like the smaller screen, fits in my pocket better, otherwise not a big difference.

I really like it.

I never had a G4 but I really like the G5
