Fastest phone I've ever had, my internet speed has almost quadrupled. Smooth fast phone for sure.

I went from my G2 to this G5 and my internet hotspotting is silky smooth now. I went from playing R6 Siege with spotty 150ms latency to smooth 90ms latency.

Swithed yesterday from my G3 to the G5. This thing is so ******* fast, just ridiculous

G5 presents a very good performance mainly because the LG overlay.

After a few months, mine has gotten insanely slow. Not much is installed on it either.

It's blazing fast!

I believe the slow down you are experiencing can be attributed to your launcher. If you use Nova launcher rather than the default LG Home, your device should never slow down - even with many apps installed. I would suggest changing it and then report back your results.

The device is very fast. Probably has the processing power of some full size computers.

I've had my G5 for a while now and the speed is still superb!

It's funny, people are so retarded. Everyone bashes on LG as in being a bad brand all the time everywhere. Meanwhile they build the most technologically advanced screens on the planet. The phones are of very high quality. I have the G5 for a year now, still as good as the day I bought it. I own a ultra wide monitor from LG who for the price crushes competitors. But yeah keep bashing because it's keeping prices low and gives faster pricedrops.

I agree LG makes a great product, had three LG phones so far, all worked great, sold two of them so far still working great. Just wish the H831 had root capability but it doesn't so no big deal.

It's faster than my core2duo laptop. I abuse my phone all day at work and this thing has been a monster. Battery life is awesome when the screen brightness is less than 50 percent too.

Super fast with Lineage OS! (h850)
Benchmarked with PcMark Work 2.0

Although I don't agree with the bashing, you can't deny the problems with the G3, G4, G5 and V10.
many G3 just died for no reason..G4 and V10 fried after a year or so. G5 has awful GPS design and very common image retention on the screen. G2, G6 and V20 are the best in my opinion. I had G4 that died, and I have a G5 right now with image retention and GPS that I fixed about 5 times already. Image retention and crappy GPS are very common issues with the G5, whether you have these issues or not.
The main reason I keep it is the camera.

The phone is very fast but I'm really disappointed about gaming part, framerate drops in big games with max settings, I was expecting better from a S820 device.
I'm thinking moving to LineageOS when 15.0 will be released.

Here as well, after a month i notice some slide downs, didn't update the software atcall, android 6.0.1 and firmware v10a as in the day it came.
---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------
Also, i have image retention, gps is still good (that's one off the most important parts for me) and the Antutu benchmarks vary from 98000 to 141000, so does speed and framerate in games. I had LG optimus g pro before this one, g5 is faster for sure, but i have a problem when i run Sunvox (a DAW I've been using since long) and the sound is choppier sometimes than on my old G pro

Benchmark results and PC connectivity

hi. im kinda new to Lg phones . its infact my first LG phone ever.
first off, i will get something cleared out to all. im disappointed at almost no support from LG! its been a year and still 4.1? no updates what so ever? this was their flagship phone that was primarily focused to compete with Note 2 and even S4 but look where they are now! 4.4 KK!
now to the point of thread, i just got out of misery of soft brick. and just today i got the V5.5 rom of THIS rom.
out of curiosity i downloaded some benchmarks. here are my scores.
after looking at these scores i was like WTF is this??? guys any help, that are these scores NORMAL for LG OGP or is it my device???
i mean my Note 1, i remember, had better scores in Benchmarkpi than this!
Linpack score:

also another problem. i have installed the LG drivers for the mobile in the pc and also lg pc suite is installed. but when i connect this piece of **** to PC, it connects and disconnects continuously. it does not even show up in Computer. even after i have reinstalled the drivers like 6 times, its sitll not connecting. it connects when ever it desires. this phone is real ****. i ****ing hate it now.
pls some one help how to fix this???
pls assist.
4.4 is coming to our device. Be patient. As for the low scores, make sure quadcore management is turned off.
The heavy theming of LG's skin makes it extremely resource heavy which will "slow down" your phone.
If you're that worried about benchmark scores, try Carbon with the OC'd kernel. On Antutu, I get about 30k.
Benchmark scores are completely irrelevant. Even if your OGP scored lower than your Note 2, the OGP is still outperforming it in basically every way. Better processor and GPU.

Have you change the Thermal Daemon Mitigation to "ON"?
And maybe you can try using other usb cable.

you are right about the performance and about the relevancy of benchmarks. i dont trust them myself but even then man, these scores are too low for Snapdragon 600 im kinda worried about my hardware. thats why asked help here.
and i just wish LG brings KK soon enough.
i will be honest, i got this phones just cause of i got LG monitor like 4 months back and i was amazed by its display! like really amazed!
it is an IPS panel and its amazing. i got so impressed i got LG OGP just cause of its "LG make".
phone is very good. and to be honest i find more potential in LG Optimus UI than samsung's touchwiz cause i have had almost ZERO lag until now. its been a week i got this phone.
the only concerns i have are batter in stock roms is ****. i got this V5.5 rom which kinda corrected the battery or its just placebo effect but i find it better.
i just wish LG brings KK sooner man.
thanks for reply though
Like I said, give Carbon and the OC'd kernel a try. I've gotten 2052MHz to run stable on here even though I prefer using 1890MHz just in case. Having the GPU bumped up to 531MHz won't impact battery life and with hardware acceleration enabled, there is no possible way for this phone to lag. :3

Speed is just awesome ... it's a flagship ... not expecting anything else
Performance is good but i think there is a problem that lags the keyboard.
I Don't know its my phone or else, but in some games, its little bit lag when loading some scene. But one thing that I notice that my S7 signal is more weak than my previous phone (on LTE), it's very noticeable that sometime I have to restart my phone or change it to 3G first than switch it back.
I have had similar signal issues while my other gs7 had a good signal. Replaced the device now the signal is good..
As far as speed, it feels slower to me then my s6 and note5 games dont run as smooth, gear vr jitters or glitches quite a lot, something the note5 never did. And it doesnt register touches well. I have had these issues on 3 separate gs7. 2 mine and the one i returned and swapped mainly because the signal and i could see glue separations and striations in sunlight between the lcd and screen. I have really come to dislike this phone, a first for me with samsung.
My S7 doesn't seem much faster than the LG G2 it replaced. Might this have something to do with the higher resolution?
Much faster and snappier than lg g3 i have ownded previously.

Sometimes lags (barely visible)
This is my new account and was here since my galaxy s2 and I really looked deeply into the matter.
Improved to an S4 later and tuned the hell out of it. And now having an S7.
The Hardware and the processor improved really much since then, so it's not an hardware issue, it's allways a configuration and software issue, if the phone lags.
I can't understand why people are unhappy with their phones, that aren't "snappy" enought.
It's their fault, because they accept the default settings most of the time and don't care about improving their phone by themself, by optimizing settings, disable useless/unused features and remove all that bloatware and spyware crap.
Also with a good custom rom most of these problems are solved anyway, even by default if the developer did the optimization for you... lazy ass
Maybe start with something like that:
Activate Beast Mode on Galaxy S7

ps: can't post full links yet with this acc. lol
Excellent CPU ,OS,RAM optimization
superb performance,I am fully satisfied

The speed of galaxy s7 is awesome, you can say Much faster and snappier
speed is acceptable. Lags are experienced, but compared to S6 it is a bit better.

The honor does fast, and smooth all around. I have not experience any form of "gittering" with their default battery management setup, thus it does not take away from the performance at all. Now when I switched the battery management to "performance" you would notice slight difference when playing heavy duty games. Over all, they did really good with the overall speed of the software.
I benchmarked the Honor 8 and my P9 and the Honor 8 won. Not necessarily the fairest test as I only ran it once, but perhaps the Honor 8 has been further optimised? Or can manage thermal issues better?
Either way, they're so close that unless you really want the premium look and feel of the P9, get the Honor 8. You also get Infrared and a fast charger in the box, which you certainly don't with the P9!
BTW, I don't own a Honor 8 (at least not yet) and love my P9 - but the Honor 8, especially in blue, looks awesome!

It is fast, no lag. Haven't found a game yet that it couldn't handle.

It has good cpu speed but the gui rendering is choppy in spots. It would have been nice if they used a GPU that matches the CPU but they cheaped out just like Mediatek. The real bummer is the poor battery life.
At the moment ir runs well, no lag, cause I didn't install many apps now on my phone, but to be honest, when I watch movies with it for 6 hours, it will heat, this makes me a little sad.
I have had no issues with the performance. I am running Nova Launcher on it and have no issues. Also, great battery life and no signs of getting hot during regular use. The software is definitely something that you have to spend a lot of time looking at. Not used to having to whitelist aps in order to keep them on when the phone is off such as Google Clock for alarms, etc. I also use Textra for texting as with the stock ap it doesn't pop up at all, just gives a small notification in the top bar.
But once I got it set up the way that I liked, it has been running great!
Thank you for the positive comments on the overall speed of the Honor 8 device! Housing a 9V/2A fast-charging technology reaches a 47% (from 0%) charge in just 30 minutes. So when you’re out there changing the world, the Honor 8 has you covered — with up to 10 hours of nonstop video playback and a speedy recharge. We appreciate the feedback! (NS)
It Performs great
I have been using Honor 8 for more than a month. Everything is fast and smooth, which can handle almost any apps easily. However, the phone can be very hot when running demanding game like GTA:SA.

That's due to the weak GPU on it, even SD810 devices have better GPU

Poor battery life? I hope not. All the reviews talk about better than expected battery life.
For me, average uptime is about 1d12h with 5+h screen on

Temperature of gpu does not affect how powerful or weak they are. Gta SA is easily maxed out on mediatek 6595 with powervr6200. If its hot, means the person is new to smartphone or maybe dont own any smartphone at all before this. The average temp while gaming is around 38-40°c only on the screen area(depends on how graphic intensive youre playing). Honor 8 is one of the coolest in temperature when it comes to gaming.

That's very informative, thanks :laugh:
I would add this
https://youtu.be/4PNvj419AAs
As a real usage test. It performs on par with Mi5s Plus, only slightly beaten by the extra 2GB of ram. SD821 is also a bit cooler and with better GPU. But Kirin 950 architecture, RAM and file management is pretty much up there with the best.

Question 6GB version battery performance?

I'm almost decided. I'm buying the G30, and the battery is one of the main reasons.
I'm tempted to buy the Amazon-exclusive 6GB version. Everything else on board is identical; just 6GB instead of 4GB RAM.
However, would the 6GB affect battery performance vs the 4GB version, whose battery benchmarks are pretty much where I need them? Does anyone know?
Depends somewhat on the memory type.
My Note 10+ has a older generation of ram memory than the N20U. With 12 gb of ram all I notice is snappy performance with good battery life.
The impact of 2 gb of extra ram on battery life should be very small. 6 gb is the minimum I would have so it's a no brainer to go for the 6 gb variant.
Thanks! That makes sense and come to think of it my previous phone was 6GB too so I shouldn't downgrade.
Some interesting answers here if anyone else has the same question:
https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/j1os1g
How RAM usage effects battery drain?
I'm really confused about Android memory management. I just read here that killing apps by swiping from recent list or using task killers won't save your battery but drain more because this cause ...
android.stackexchange.com
Right now I have two browser open. You'll want the 6 gb. I reccomend staying away from Android 11, it's a hog that gives little in return.

Hmmm... I don't know. For the specs I'm looking for, there aren't many more options out there.
Yes, the G30 is no flagship but it's got exactly what I want: great battery, it's not too large or bulky, dual sim, it doesn't have MIUI nor much bloatware, has decent camera.
I don't think I have many more options with somewhat decent specs, esp. at 6GB.
There's the G10 but it's got bad Wi-Fi, and all the 'power' models are worse in other specs, I think.

I never use wi-fi, it's a security risk. No need for it if you have an unlimited plan except as a hot spot.
By enabling only wifi updates then setting Playstore etc to only do automatic updates by wi-fi you can stop those apps auto-updates from raising hell. I use the wi-fi options like that
Get best rated phone with best specs in the class you're looking at. The more of that model sold the better the support and parts availability.
Consider used models in excellent condition as well; example, a Note 10+ 512 gb can be had for $650. Just check the display for burn in with Screen Test before accepting. B&H Photo gives you a 100% return policy on anything you buy from them.
Batteries are fairly easy to replace even on the 10+ so don't sweat that.
Nah, that approach doesn't work for me at all. It's not even about class, as not all the phones in each class have the exact same config.
Firstly, almost all flagship phones are huge anyway, and I don't like huge. Then they almost never have better batteries than this. A good phone is no use if you can't keep it on.
Then, many excellent phones use MIUI, which I loathe. And so on. I'm not above used and refurbished models, but only when they fit my requirements.
I don't have an unlimited data plan cause there's no need for that. I use 2-3GB total and that's how much I need.
Different strokes. Thanks for your help though
Is a Good phone. 90hz, Awesome! Big battery. It depends on the user how long it last...
If you don't use wifi, bluetooth, nfc and apps that eats power will last for a long time.
Very good value for the money.
New, not from the store, around 100$, in my region/country. 6/128 gb
I use Note 10+ 5g, the most beautifull phone. Good? Not so much. That 90hz (G30)over 60hz (Note 10), on the G30 matters! Huge price! I pay around 650 $ last year, in the summer. G30 moves better. Less bloatware.
Bluetooth seems to use very little battery on my 10+ in standby mode or in actual use. In 12 hours including 4 hours active usage it was at 1%.
Samsung's done a good job with their bt Buds+ it would seem.
I get 8 hours of Screen-on time & still 13% is left.

Question So I've bought the ROG6 to replace the X80 Pro...

I was on my mind for a while, but i couldn't take the laggy interface of NOT FUNTOUCH OS anymore and the awful inconsistent battery life anymore, which is kinda of a big shame as the camera ROCKS and is better than any phone out there easily(except the Mate 40 Pro+).
So, yesterday i've bought the ROG6 after many thoughts and here is my conclusion so far:
-Let's start with the not so good that all the reviewers have been pointing out... The Camera!
It ain't that bad, it actually quite good and useful during daylight and less during nighttime, but it's still doing the job.
Yes it ain't touching the X80 Pro, not by miles and miles and miles... but it's more than serviceable specially selfies.
-Battery+Speakers+Performance+Battery Life are TOP NOTCH!
I've got 8.10hr before battery reached 5%, and while it seems to be "low" since it has 6000mah, keep in mind that it was the first boot in which i've transferred all the data from the vivo, restored whatapp backups, played some games, installed YouTube, updates and had it all under 165hz all the time, so first impression of the battery is excellent( probably can get easily 10-11hr with 144/120hz usage).
Performance ****s all over x80 pro besides it being SUPER FAST, it did one thing that no android that i ever owned has ever done... CLOSING BACKGROUND APPS, it did NONE of it, all my apps were in the background and never reloaded, i'm still shocked tbh( outside some oddities like Tinder and OKCUPID, which android really hates).
Speakers are punchy, bassy and have good balance of volume, and you can force an "outside mode" that will make them very loud at some expense of the sound quality.
The screen is FHD+ but it's gorgeous, not matching the vivo or high-end Samsung screens but it's very good.
Asus has just 3 preinstalled apps and clean android, it boots and loads everything so fast that i miss it sometimes.
In conclusion, for now, it is the Vivo X80 Pro we deserve but never got!!!

I used Mate 40 Pro before and I have to say its camera is very good for both day and night situations. Just wonder how good is the Mate 40 Pro Plus's camera as you said here compared to X80 Pro? (you said x80 pro is better over most of the phones except the Mate 40 Pro Plus)
How about P50 Pro? have you have any chances to test it or use it?
Currently I'm still using S22U. Although the camera is not in the same level as Huawei in night mode, I found that its portrait mode is superior, especially 3x zoom portrait mode. The photos came out can be compared with my Nikon and Canon DSLR in terms of portrait (not kidding, I'm so surprised). So I guess I'll keep this S22U because I don't have any problem with lag, heating, or battery. I heard that the new update coming up in August can fix the shutter lag problem of the camera (my main issue currently). So if it's true then I would be really happy with my choice. Will look at x80 pro when the software is more stable in the future and the price dropped at least $100-200 more.
Mate 40 pro 50mp ai mode is unmatched, the vivo is much better during nighttime and slightly better zoom.
But overall the X80 pro phone as a whole is a disaster atm, not recommended.
I told you !!
Asus rocks ...
If they would spend a tad more on the camera and less on a backdisplay that's kinda useless and just have a faux leather back which would include Wireless charge then it would be a STRONG contender for any Android Flagship device.
Enjoy ....

Haha you were so ****ing right!
ASUS should make a combo of rog with zenphone with minimum gaming features.
Just customization of the software and hardware.
Outside the camera and screen, the ROG6 feels so far ahead of the vivo x80 pro it's not funny
Second day of using the phone, 165hz 1d 1hr 9.15hr sot!
That's how you do battery and don't excessively close background apps all the time, even with 12gb ram.
I'll keep the x80 pro for the camera and to see if Vivo can fix there awful software.
