Should I get LG V20 or Nexus 6P?

[thcguy12]

Having a very hard time deciding - want a phablet. 5.7 inches or larger.

Am considering the Nexus 6P, V20, and maybe an IPhone 7s Plus

What do you guys think?

I really like the 6P, but there's no expandable memory... you're stuck with whatever amount you can find/afford (either 32gb or 64gb.) Other than that, I'd love to try out a Nexus/Pixel phone.

I can get a brand new Nexus 6P from google for $20 a month (24 months) --- 64GB

I can buy one online (listed as new on amazon) for $288.67 --- 64GB

I love the camera, size, speed, battery life, quality, etc.
Wish it had expandable memory, dual cameras, and was waterproof or could expand battery.

I have had both and by far I prefer V20

Interesting - I could get the V20 for only $14 a month right now - ATT has a 50% off sale.

No boot loop issues?

What about the battery on the V20 - heard it dies half way through day!?

Depends on how you use it

 

[thcguy12]

no games, no video

just surfing facebook and instagram like 20 times a day.
checking emails constantly all day

you should definitely get a full day.

The only people I know that it dies halfway through the day are those constantly playing games or watching Netflix. The idle management on this phone is NUTS.

I have both as well. The 6P seems to be smoother opening apps and switching back an forth between apps but I like the second screen on the LG. I thought the ability to change the battery would be a big deal but both of them give me all day use without needing to recharge or swap batteries.

The Nexus 6P had no SD slot which was a deal breaker for me. Being stuck with onboard​ memory is limiting and with the 3GB of RAM, you'll notice a drop in performance. Also, some people have complained about battery issues with the 6P; the removable battery in the V20 can solve any battery related issues in the future.

I had a 6P (pre-ordered it at launch) and recently switched to a V20. I loved the 6P but I was having a lot of random shut downs when the battery level got below 25%. The only way to turn it on again was to out it on the charger. I needed something more dependable.

It was very hard for me to go to a non-Nexus phone but I've really grown to like the V20. The second screen is nice to have and the LG bloat is minimal. The phones are very similar in size ND performance but I give the V20 a slight edge.

I prefer the V20 display, I like having the ability to expand memory, and the ability to swap batteries is great.

For me I like that it is so far anyway glitch free and very smooth running period I also have a 7edge and it runs more smoothly than that phone

I'd talk the audio any day the V20 has to offer over the 6p. I believe the 6p opamp at the time of release was considered pretty weak in comparison to other flagship devices. If audio doesn't matter sd card support at least for me, is also important. That being said the 6p was a nice looking device with front facing speakers.
