I'll be getting one at release. I've already received a demo unit and I've been playing with it all day and am honestly impressed. We'll see how it is compared to my Note 5 :p

So, back on topic: has anyone else's phone shipped?
I pre-ordered from Best Buy and order still says in process: no movement, especially since tomorrow is official release day.

Got mine at half two this afternoon, EE UK. With kids around only had a little play but phone feels great in my hand, it's quite light in my opinion, especially compared with my moto x style. The camera is super, as good, if not better than my Mrs s6, setting it up was a dream, everything coped over from my previous handset first time, there was 9gb of data to send over. It's very nippy, slick transitions, fast between apps and Facebook for example scrolls more quickly. Plus it plays my Drastic emulator with no lag, in comparison with my previous device when transitions occur and no stutter in the animations. All in all, couldn't be happier, got a b n g speaker, b n g headphones, headphones in the box as well by LG. It's a great phone so far, first impressions are excellent.

Got mine today, absolutely sublime. It's so much faster than my G3. Noticed some heat when setting it up but other than that it's amazing.

Any case recommendations?

Must admit I missed the Google now launcher. I've installed it and almost gotta a vanilla Android experience, which I'm happy with. I like the Google screen to the left of the home screen and a usual feeling app draw and the functionality of the Google now launcher than lgs.
