Currently using the new BlackBerry Dtek50. While it's a nice mid range phone with all the BlackBerry goodies like hub, keyboard and productively hub etc the camera is pretty bad and battery life is average.

I'm a phone addict so I keep changing phones every few months
In the past I've tried Sony Xperia z2, nexus 5x and lumia 950, nextbit robin etc. My issue is I can use any large phones. 5.3" is the max

Main usage for me on a phone is calls text and emails most importantly. Thats why I love the Dtek50 the most. All emails on one place and the keyboard is the best.

I can probably get the hub and keyboard on any android now. With this said is lg g5 a good phone for me? It looks nice - I didn't really check on e out at a store yet.

Your comments? Suggestions?
 
You CAN get the Hub etc with any Android, I use them on my One Plus Three and will on my Pixel any day now! I say go for it!
 
Me too. This device is incredible.

The camera's are awesome.

IR Blaster. SD support. Removable battery.

The screen makes it the first gadget I could use in the bright sun.

I'm telling you it's lightning fast and buttery smooth. I had 42 apps opened yesterday and never even noticed any slowdown or lag at all.
 
Had mine for a little over a week. Best damn phone ever. And I swore off LG after my G4 problems. Get it.
 
I been using mine for about 2 weeks now. I really like the phone a lot. I was a bit skeptical at first after seeing reviews on Youtube that were very mixed and not all totally positive. That said it is a very unique device, it has features like the 2 back cameras you can't get anywhere really. The removable battery, something other competitors are doing away with even if its implemented in a different way is cool. I think the phone runs smooth for me I would not say I'm a power user but I use my device for several tasks at once on occasion and no slowdowns like the S5 I had before.

The one thing I seen that you tube reviews complain about that is true for my device is where the chin that pulls out to swap the battery and main body of the phone meet do not with as smooth of a fit as it maybe could be but I always put a case on my phones so its a non issue for me.
