What software are you on? Mine is terrible, can hardly make it through the day (unlike my old G2).

Isn't this a lot of money for what is an aging phone?

It was released in February, and has top of the range specs - Snapdragon 810. It's a great price in my opinion.

How old do you think it's is?
It was launched this year with better specs than the g3

This is the 16gb version so only 2GB RAM.

Has been a lot cheaper in the past, so likely to be available cheaper soon.

And with Marshmallow's adoptive memory, the 16gb storage is no issue as the SD card can be regarded as internal memory. I LOVE this idea, though I've not had the chance to try it yet. Waiting for Marshmallow for my G3.

Great phone. Got the 3GB/32GB version from US and it's been brilliant.

Where and how much did you get it?

That'll make the phone significantly slower though from what I've read.

Does it still overheat like crazy?

It did when it was first released, but the problem has pretty much gone with the latest software update.

I LOVE my G2 and have been considering the G4 but also this. I will say, my G2 takes dreadful night photos in that bright lights etc flare quite a bit. That's the only negative about the phone.

This is a downgrade from the G2 in my opinion

So impressed with this phone. Agree that unlocked bootloader would be the icing on the cake but stock Rom + Nova launcher is good enough for me. Battery life is also surprisingly good.
