Like my G6 decision vs S8
- Thread starter jimbo1mcm
- Start date
Going to hold a small memorial service for my Moto Z Force, prior to putting it on Swappa. The Force is a great phone, but the G6 is just a little better. It feels better, is slightly smoother and the camera has more features. Someone is going to get a great deal on the Force on Swappa!
I've got the G6 and loving it. Also have the V20 and miss the DAC but the form factor of the G6 is so nice. I'm also picking up the S8+ mainly for work with the DeX dock as a Citrix and Virtual desktop setup.

Note that the wide angle camera on the S8 is on the selfie cam, not the rear facing main camera.
The S8 looks nice, but after having the G5 and using the LG cameras it would be G6 for me. Especially considering the G6 will probably be a couple hundred bucks cheaper in Canada.

I just totaled my Moto X Pure's screen (man, when those break, they BREAK!), and since I'm due to upgrade at Verizon, I debated a bit.
Anyone tell me why I should skip the G6? I really liked it in the store, felt great. The S8 did too, I do have fairly large hands. Decisions, decisions! Any insight appreciated?

Both will be great devices. You can't go wrong either way. My only gripe with the S8 is the dedicated bixby button that I can't remap and the odd placement of the fingerprint reader.

I am not at all interested in Samsung; too much software that I don't want crammed in.
I will probably get a G6 as soon as I can get an unlocked US model for a fair price. I really like the design and that it has wireless charging. I don't care for the glass back for ruggedness (rather have plastic to keep wireless charging) but probably just put a skin on it for protection and use a case for some situations. Main debate is black or silver. I prefer the natural aluminum edge, but rather have black bezel, and will probably cover the back anyway so that doesn't matter as much.
Although on G6 would prefer a slightly better front camera with OIS or larger sensor.

That's where I am. I handled both in the store, but I felt like the curved screen on the samsung would be more of a problem. So I picked up the G6 (though I still have 12 or so days to decide to return it).
I had a little battery issue, but it's because I installed all 170ish apps that were on my last phone...bad idea! I reset, started over, and I'm doing great battery wise now. I'm glad I didn't have to return it!
I'm impressed with the cameras, they do good work for me. I love the form factor, even my wife does. And it's tough. I do a lot of moving of heavy and awkward objects. I keep my phone in my pocket. I had a big ole heavy thing fall on my leg, right on top of the phone, the corner of a 2x6 right in the middle of the glass. No breakage! Either the screen is good, or my flesh absorbed the rest of it.
So far, I'm extremely happy, and not at all worried about how the Galaxy performs (from a sense of buyers remorse). If you like the S8, be happy with it. I'm happy with my G6.

Here is the video comparison

between the G6 and s8
U be the judge
In my eyes G6 is the winner
And I saw bend test video of G6 and it passed flying like a G6
Well done Lg

Its easy to justify why you didn't get an s8 and got a G6 instead when you made that decision well before you saw the s8. Now you don't want to go back on that decision and look silly. I ordered the g6 and received it on March 30th. After a few days using it and then seeing the s8 I sent my g6 back in a hurry to tmobile. The phone gets hot relatively fast, the camera is good but not great. Not even as good as the s7. ive had issues with charging where it will charge horribly slow even on QC 3.0. battery has been mediocre at best getting no more than 4:15 SOT. the s8 packs more for the dollar and just looks better. Luckily I was able to get my Google home voucher approved before I sent the phone back.
Lol
Didn't you just do the same thing?
I can change my mind but no tks.
Not into a bixby button....
If so had 3500mah battery and less Samsung bloat if go for it
Also not into edge screen. Cars look ugly on it and I ain't going naked for a phone that expensive
But I have my own reasons. To each their own. That's what makes Android great
I've had Samsung's, HTC, Nexus LG. I'll keep switching to whoever meets my needs
G6 is not the best.... But it's up there. If pixel 2 minimize it's bezels.... I'm def going that way next year
