I've just been using the LG v10 for the past couple of days and thought I would share some thoughts coming from a note 5.
First I'll comment on the negatives -
Fingerprint censor location: the fingerprint censor works really well and is fast, however I don't like the back position of it. I thought it would be a more natural placement than the note 5 but I find it very unnatural to grip my phone where my index finger is placed on the censor.
Power button, volume up/down buttons: they are placed too close to each other and often times I find myself accidentally pressing the power off or volume down button below when I mean to do the opposite. Also I miss having a button that I can press while taking a photo on the side of the phone.
Sides: the sides are very slippery... I actually love the back rubber plate as it is very trippy and durable. The metallic or aluminum? Sides is a great look however it is very slippery. I tend to have to hold the phone a lot tighter as I feel like it will slip out of my hands.
Not having Physical back and multitask buttons: I thought it would be a cooler feature to implement these buttons within the screen however it takes up some real estate in your viewing screen. I wish the buttons were placed below the screen like the note 5. Also many times on the note I would just press the back button after I take a photo,however with the v10 you need to locate the back button within the screen.
Pros:
First let me state the obvious - removable battery & sd card. IR blaster.
Two front facing cameras: I thought this would be a gimmick but found it extremely useful.the wide angle selfie camera is great when you are looking to take Group photos without having to ask someone to take a photo for you.
Double tap to on/off: my fav feature of LG phones that I missed while having the note 5.
Lg keyboard: I find lgs keyboard much better and customizable than the Samsung. I've always used swift key in the past but haven't found a reason to switch over as the interface and layout is great.
