So, I thought I’d kick things off here with some community building.
Quote this post with answers to the below!
What phone are you using?
Are you happy with it? What are its best and worst qualities?
Which phones have you had previously? Which were the best and worst of the lot?
How often do you upgrade to a new phone?
What other Android ecosystem devices do you have? Watches, headphones/earbuds, etc.
Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.)
This was definitely NOT my experience with them, but I respect your opinion.
I will say the Android market in the US is pretty dead at this point, competition wise goes. I have a Samsung S20 FE and its been surprisingly good, Samsung has greatly improved their update game so I’m still on the latest Android OS despite the phone being nearly 3 years old now, and otherwise it runs pretty good. Before this I had a Pixel 3 and don’t really think I’ll be going back to Pixel anytime soon… I heard the newer ones are better but I still don’t feel Google really knows what they’re doing with hardware. And other than Samsung, the only options here are budget phones like Motorolla, which I’ve also tried, and while they’re great if you are indeed on a tight budget, I still ended up replacing it in less than 2 years just due to all the issues it had, so at that point I’d rather pay more for something that’s going to last. Samsung is really the only brand I’ve had that experience with.
Fair enough, definitely depends on the phone you got from LG though. I don’t use music streaming services, so I have my whole music library downloaded as .flac files for audio quality. That was initially what brought me to the V series since they all have headphone jacks, and really good DACs. They’ve been very reliable over the years, for me at least. The only repairs I’ve needed on any of them was a battery replacement every 2 years or so. I can’t speak to any of the other LG phone lines though.
Ah yeah, i heard their DACs are great but I’m not an expert there. I had a LG G4 that was affected by the boot loop so I’m definitely biased there
