I find and believe that the *plastic* side rails on our XZP's make this the easiest handling huge phone I've ever owned. From the Note 4 to the U Ultra, I've owned alot of phablets and this is the best handling of them all. I love this thing.
Personally i think it handles superbly and that smooth finish makes it easy to hold for long hours
I love the weight, really feels like something special and I think it helps in the hand, its not light and flimsy, very comfortable and the fingerprint sensor is perfect for my thumb. Only down side is I hardly see my lock screen as its that fast to unlock. Went to a friends to day and there was oohs when I showed them the phone in chrome, screen also got a load of admiration.
You can see your lock screen by just pressing the low end tip of the power button. It just wakes the screen without attempting to use the fingerprint scanner

Handles a lot better than my G3. The smooth sides really make it.
coming from my LG g3, with the same sized screen, I will say the more boxy design is considerably more difficult to operate with one hand. it definitely has a more premium feel, but if you're not very familiar with one handed acrobatics, you might drop this accidentally
had Lumia 950XL before this and actually, I quite like the look and feel of it an I'm not scared I'm going to crack the glass on the edges if I walk past a table edge. One thing I do miss on this compared to my Lumia 950xl is the ability to bring down the display to half way
A few months back i upgraded from a z5 to the xz premium and i have to say the handling is much better. It is far more satisfying to use it without a case but i don't recommend that. Overall if you have big hands then this phone shouldn't be a problem.

While the Nextbit Robin looks too geometrical for comfort, it's not the case since it has generous rounded corners. The smooth plastic body may be a little slippery for dry hands, which may lower confidence taking the phone in and out of the pocket throughout the day.
I found the corners at the bottom make for difficult "lying back in bed" texting.
Generally you lay the phone balancing on the side of one of your pinkies, but this is difficult and it's almost like a balancing act.
Usage in other scenarios are no problem. The corners make it slightly more awkward for jacket pockets that aren't also square though.
I recieved my Robin yestrday and after one day, I have to say it's one of the best phones I ever held in my hand. It's simple, fits in my hand just perfectly.

Do you feel you have a small or large hands? This is definitely a big phone which is my concern.
I have VERY large hands but the Robin feels like it was made to fit your hand. It is very comfortable to hold, the square frame is deceiving.
i admit i have to say that the robin is something really beautiful for our hands.
coming from the oneplus one, which has a really nice backcover, we all know that, it feels just great in the hands.
its not that cold and normal plastic, but its a soft nice warm touch.

Absolutely amazing! This is something the Robin REALLY excels at. I have both the HTC 10 and the Nextbit Robin and the Nextbit Robin feels so much better in the hands. It really feels premium. The solid feel and weight in the hand is perfect. Also the length of the phone feels great in the hand. Please do no change this factor in the successor to the Nextbit Robin. Additionally, the top and bottom of the Robin (The 2nd color - mine being the blue of the electric) makes the phone much longer and rectangular, this with the boxiness makes it much more easier to type out messages on the Robin compared to more curved smartphones such as the HTC 10. Please keep the rectangular frame on the successor, this is great!
The Robin feels clean. It's super sharp (look wise), and the texture is smooth to the touch. Overall really pleased with the ergonomics of this device.
I have a Robin and Nexus 5x. Generally speaking, the Nexus has the perfect feel with with and without a case. The Robin has an amazing feel without a case, and is just slightly too wide and long for me to enjoy with one hand with a case on it. (That is a finger length issue ...not a phone problem for sure, as it is one of the most attractive phones I have seen).

Not bad concept at all
Kind of awkward looking, but have to case it up anyway
not the best but it's been a while I haven't wanted a case to change the look of it.
What's driving me nuts about the hate of this device is how many think the G5 sucks solely based on looks. Has the mobile tech sphere really become this superficial and shallow? It's a phone (not a purse) that has its form follow its function. I'll take practicality over useless 'good looks' any day.

Yeah. It is unbelievable how people choose looking over effectiveness and functionality. LOL If no one likes the G5 im open to receive all your phones. Just send me a message and i will give the address hahaha. And my phone will arrive soon, but by seeing the reviews on youtube it seems to me like a very interesting design though. Not too sophisticated but also not too Simplistic. It looks smooth.
If you slap a bulky Otterbox case on your phone, why would "looks" ever really matter? lol with that said, I like the look of the G5. The metallic body isn't HTC awesome, but it's far from ugly.
I think it looks great/fine. I have a clear case (Poetic Affinity) to show off the phone a bit more, and a kickstand non-clear case (Spigen Thin Armor) for when I don't care as much. Honestly I'm starting to prefer the Poetic just because I like looking at the phone itself.
That said, I've found that I stop caring about looks about a week after I get it. Maybe that's just me.
I actually really like the lok of the g5.. I do always run a case though. I have my silver g5 in a spigen neo hybrid case I really dig the appearance with the case even more then the phone alone.
Okay the phone is understated, but its ergonomically great. It doesn't scream for attention like S7 nor is it super thin and slippery like iPhone. Since i don't like using cases, this phone is perfect for me.
Though I have to admit, when you buy a premium segment phone, looks do matter. And LG tbh does disappoint there. Its just an average looking phone. Nothing to go ga-ga over , but nothing to hate nonetheless. Its simply a boring looking phone.
It looks good ;D
Gonna be my next phone after the Galaxy S6
Dunno...it's like a renewed copy of the Lg G2...is not that bad...i like it.
Well you can't deny it's a huge improvement from the G4 and its horribly shaped back. I do wish the whole front panel was glass though. After the 6P I think it's the best looking droid so all in all, can't complain.
Love it
I don't see why people think its ugly.....to each his own.
I think it's not that pretty... The back is ugly with the camera bump (camera bumps should just not happen, put bigger battery to fill the gap). I hate the curved glass. I hate any curved glass on a phone, it makes it impossible to put a simple tempered glass protector which I think is a must.
But.... the phone is great. Not my choice for design but it's a solid performer! From performance to sound and camera. Everything is rocking solid. I like it a lot!

Doesn't feel bad in anyway , but i got disappointed from the metal feeling, not even close to Htc or Sony Z1-3 series its just like plastic , i needed to google it to find out that is really metal as they said, in quality i got a problem with my up microphone that got inside on the right side , i could get it back using my thumb and nail but still right side is a bit more inside and seems easy to get in again. So i am giving it 3 stars in quality both feeling and i would give it 4 if i hadnt the speaker small issue , i was expecting more than that but its still good phone!
9 months in and the lg use of subpar components comes through. Bootloops as soon as it gets hot....and it will get hot pretty quick if in a pocket and outside. Works great ...probably in a fridge now. Had to deal with GPS issues too...worse GPS signal phone ever. Quality has gone down the drain with lg since the g3. Not taking a chance on the g6.
So sad...really wanted to love this phone. But come on not even a year.....!!!!
I thought give them a chance since they did replace the wife's g4 but now I regret it. Can't wait for the wife's g5 to self destroy itself just like mine.
Im not sure why LG phones get so hot compared to other manufacturers, but other than that, no big issues.
Edit: Wrong Thread
I have a Galaxy S7 and this definitely feels less solid. But I guess that's because of the modular design.
I do like that it's metal but I don't like the camera sticking out unprotected. I've seen quite a few G5's with badly scratched camera covers so this clearly needs a case of some sort, which is a bit of a bummer.
Still, metal >>>> glass.
This is still new but I'm not sure how well the bottom module would hold up over repeated swaps. Thankfully, I'm seeing a lot of replacement modules online.
The battery is also kind of odd in how you need to lock it in place. Better than springs or keeping it loose I suppose.
The earphone jack is also a bit shallow. It works but I can see metal sticking out.
Overall, it seems like everything could be just a smidgen tighter or "locked in." But, again, I'm coming from an S7.

coming from samsung s4, it's definitely feel better and weigh more (actually a negative, the increased weight).
Doesnt matter much the look because all my phones go into waterproof cases so i never see the actual phone most of the time anyway..lol

Really feels great. The small form factor is the new black. Perfect size to wait balance. The added girth of the phone actually helps the palm WRAP the mobile better. The trick of cold but smooth metal is very reassuring.

It feels like a high quality device but it is slippery. Sometimes feels is if it's going to jump out of my hands! I think it's a little too big for its screen size--bezels are a little too large.
I like the size. I wanted the XL but got the 5" because of price and I'm glad I did. Seems like a perfect fit. In photos the device always looks really thick, but it does not feel thick.
I have the 5" Pixel and find it great with no case (naked joke incoming). I wish I didnt feel it needed a case. The metal would survive some roughness but I dont think the glass would.
I'm coming from a Sony Z3 Compact and don't find it out of proportion or too big. It's an adjustment but love the extra screen size. Miss my 2 day battery tbh and my waterproofing.
Great.
Million times better than the HTC 10 which I also have
Not too heavy, tall or wide.

Yeah it feels amazing but I'm afraid that it'll slip from my hand sometimes

Personally the "One-hand feel" is great. I'm coming from a HTC M8 and it's fairly close. I've never had problems switching songs on the go, or using it while walking.
The only issue I've personally experienced is with how you have to hold it when playing a two-handed landscape game. The speakers being at the exact bottom make it so you have to hold it awkwardly as to still hear the sound - unless you're using headphones in which now you have an AUX plug in the way for one hand. It's not a deal-breaker, but it was a factor I've run into.

Thanks for your sharing!!:good:
My Pixel is replacing my Moto X (2013 -- the orginial) and while I'd like to say this phone feels as good or better to hold and use than my Moto X so I can add that to the list of justifications for spending so much money on this phone, I can't. This phone is a little awkward to use with one hand. I'm right handed which makes anything in the upper left and lower left corners of the screen on the Pixel difficult to reach without juggling the phone around a little. Because the phone is so slick I start getting nervous about possibly dropping the phone while trying to juggle it around one handed. I know the answer is to use two hands, but I've never had a phone that I needed two hands to use so to that end I'm going through a bit of a transition period. Also, the phone feels a little weird to hold whether I'm using it as a phone (like making a phone call and holding it to my ear as if it were a real telephone!) or just picking it up from the table and carrying it out to the car. To be fair, I did keep my last phone for over 3 years so it may just take a while for me to get used to this one, but ironically I can't help feeling that if the phone was just a little thicker it may be a little more comfortable to hold. Maybe when my case arrives the phone will feel better to me.
On a positive note, the finger print sensor is perfectly located (for me) and super easy to use! I took the time to set up my fingerprint by trying to make sure I got as much of it scanned as I could and that seems to have paid off because it's no trouble at all to use the fingerprint scanner to unlock my phone especially one handed!
I ordered my phone directly through Google (recieved it a little over 2 weeks ago). I also switched my phone service to Google's Project Fi at that time
U just cant compare orihinal motox which must be the smallest 4.7" phone ever made and easy to hold. Everything bigger then moto would feel the same. I had a same feeling wjen I went on a 5.5" phone, felt like im holding a tablet. After 2-3 weeks was great and bemefits of smaller phone and minimal compared to everything that a big screen brings with it
Coming from a 5x I was a bit surprised at the weight - it's heavier then I expected. I have 5" pixel and its a good size. Not sure if they just wanted to keep the phone proportionate but if they shank down the chin it would be a little easier for one handed use. All in all, it's got a premium feel and fits nicely in the hand. IMO, it definitely needs a case. I wouldn't want to drop this thing without one.
love the phone
I wanted to get the XL but due to backordering, got this one. So far, I'm happy I did because it fits so perfectly in my hand. I'm used to large phones so this was a big deal switching to 5". No regrets - the ergonomics are amazing.
can someone tell me about his/her experience of phone with different thickness from top to bottom?

Sure. I've never noticed once. Extremely trivial. And this is coming from a fairly OCD individual.
I'm addicted to mobile gaming. Every morning during my commute to work I get out my phone and start playing Fortnite. Sometimes I get so absorbed in the game to the extent that my 50-minute commute passes by in the blink of an eye. Naturally nothing gets me more excited than new tech that could make gaming better, even something as simple as more screen makes me happy.
But this notch really gets to me. A lot of times I thought I'd pressed the right button, only to find out that I'd actually poked the notch, and in the next second I'm out of the game.
So when I heard about Honor's new notch-less View 20, I thought that could be the phone for me. My only concern though, is whether the hole-like camera is robust enough to withstand scrapes or bumps. I'm quite clumsy and don't want to break it every time the phone slips out of my hands. The new design looks a bit fragile…
Has anyone got their hands on a View 20? Any gamers have phone recommendations? Please let me know if you think the money's worth it!
Hi there,
I have the honor View 20 and would like to start off by saying, this is one of the best phones for gaming. It has the powerful kirin 980 paired with huaweis GPU turbo 2.0 and has liquid cooling.
Regarding the robustness, I would definitely recommend buying a tempered glass screen protector as the glass on the phone isn't gorilla glass so you'll see scratches form when you drop it or put it in your pocket with for example your keys. This goes for the back of the phone as well. I wanted to use the phone for a day without the case and once I got home found that there was a faint scratch on the back. So definitely get a glass screen protector and either buy a case or use the one included
After playing a few games on the Honor View20, I can say that it is definitely one of the best options for someone who spends a lot of time gaming. The phone never got warm and the performance is amazing. It will be interesting to see how to ToF camera is used more in the future for gaming. They have a few games that use it now, but it's more or less a gimmick at this point. Overall it's a very good gaming phone.
