Upgrading from G6 to G7

[shaimere]

Hey guys, I can get an LG g7 on sprint for $7/mo. I have the g6 now. How is battery life for you guys? And can you add any image size as wallpapers? I can't on my g6 which is annoying that the whole image doesn't display, so I stick to boring black wallpapers. Also, are the security updates better with the g7? My g6 is stuck on may patch.

Re: Hey guys

i would say its worth it. battery life for me has been about the same with the G7 that i had on the G6, after it settled down of course. the background image thing is the same on the g7 sadly. not sure about the security patches though, i think mine is on july? also, my g7 is on tmobile.

Re: Hey guys

I guess its all about what you need from a phone, but also bear in mind that the note 9 is twice the price!

Yeah, it's not the price that bothers me lol. Plus it might be a little too big for me. Waiting to check them out at a store before making my decision

Re: Hey guys

you can always go in and look at the note 8, from what everyone has been saying, the note 9 is just about the same size. might want to use that as a guide if sprint is still running the same deal on the g7 they were a few weeks ago

Hi gang.....how is the G7 in bright sunlight? I can hardly make out anything on my G6 screen outdoors in the sun and that is really my one big complaint about that phone as it is often hard to see well enough to take pictures. Other than that, the G6 has been a good phone for me (I am not a gamer, or super power user, I mostly text, surf the net, and take pictures of my dog!). I have been thinking more and more about switching to the G7 but want to see if it will solve my outdoor problem!

Really good, a level up from the G6, more akin to samsung's oled display in terms of brightness but obviously there's a trade off with the battery taking a hit if you are looking for max brightness more often than not!
