So I actually ended up going back to the m8 and I'm gonna stick with that. While I wish the camera was better, I hardly take photos anyway. I care more about performance and battery life. My issue with the G3 was it felt laggy at times and games didn't seem as smooth. It did have a better camera though. And a removable back would have been cool too.

Hmmm...There aren't ROMS for the G3? That is a real question, I'm not being facetious.

Get a OPO. Excellent camera and buttery smooth performance
and a removable back
Where can we go to see one IRL before spending $350 on it?
Seriously? I just got the m8 and they might announce a better camera version in a few days? Crap

So here's the thing, I'm not 100 percent sure I'm going to want to keep this phone or not. Even though the M8 performs better than the G3, I think I'm going to miss the g3s camera and removable backplate. I also just like the big screen and smaller frame of the g3 more. The problem is I've done a return 6 times trying to decide between the two. I got the g3 three times and the m8 2 times. The problem was I was under some stress during that month I was using these phones, which caused my odd and anxiety to go up. So whenever I saw a bit of lag on the g3 I panicked and returned it right away. But kept going back to it. The thing was I didn't use either of the phones for a extended period of time and see what I liked and didn't like about them. I'm finding the m8 a bit too tall and again I think they'll be times where I will want a better camera. Now, att sn't letting me return the phone anymore due to obvious reasons, which I can't blame them after 6 times I guess. But now I'm stuck with a phone I'm unsure I will want to keep. So now my only choice seems to be Pay the phone off (620 dollars I believe) which will then give me another upgrade. But don't think you can sell a phone to, say, a site like gazelle.com when the phone still has payments on it. And also, laying 600 for a phone then just getting another one seems to be a waste of money, no? But maybe its worth it to get something I want.

^ Raven, breath, it's just a phone...no need to panick. If it has a little bit of perceived lag the world won't be any less safe. You've already done 6 returns, perhaps you could focus on all the phone does well rather than trying to find flaws. None of these things are perfect.
Well, the phone I have now is the M8. The things it does well is it performs very well, battery is great, and I like the build quality. Only issue I could have is maybe the camera and its a bit too tall
