Two misleading points advertisedfeeling cheated)

1) The Processor stated on the LG website and Amazon.in is Snapdragon 435 but the phone has an older Snapdragon 430.

2) The phone is advertised as having a full metal body but the back panel is plastic.

3) Knock Code which they abruptly deleted when I enquired about It

The processor is indeed SD435, not SD430 like you quoted.

How is the heating?

Don't you face any heating issue near the volume keys?

A little bit but less than my previous moto x play.
I dont play games. Only web browsing, youtube,...

1. Processor struggles to deliver for the display. Lot of during while using Twitter and similar apps that requires lot of scrolling.

2. Lot of heating doing the above.

3. No quick charge.

4. Speaker is in the bottom; ring sound gets muted if kept on soft surfaces like sofa or bed.

Given the price point, all of these should have been addressed (SD450 for 1, 2 & 3 and proper placing of speakers).

Finger print is also missed by many, though I don't miss it.

Also No NFC in India

What I dislike about the phone is that LG doesn't seem to care about it anymore.
It was released not too long ago, but an Android 8.0 update seems to be really unlikely.
I didn't find anything on the internet in this regard... does anyone else now, if an update is planned or asked LG about it?

I have experience with LG phone from around a year. I developed ROMs for LG K10 with help of other developers.

Forget about updates when you buy a LG phone. Forget, security patches. LG K10 got only 1 security patch update and was stuck at Lollipop.

Don't buy a LG phone ever again.

This phone isn't even rootable (at least my model version is afaik), sad thing is i'm stuck with this phone for 2 years (got one from a postpaid plan). never getting another lg phone again.

Someone sad that this phone is no more supported with updates. I have security pach from february. Love this phone. No issue at all. It will get 8.0. Be sure. Also someone sad that he's stuck on lollipop on k10, and that phone is on marshmallow. Problem is country where you bought a phone and that's all. Playing mortal kombat x, without sd card, and it's not buggy or heating.

Love this phone, the display is beautiful. I'm using this phone from January until now, for multitasking and watch movie or YouTube it's okay, battery not drain to fast. But, if you use to play heavy game like Rules of Survival or PUBG the battery drain so fast because the phone start to heat and it's normal in my opinion.

agree. in my testing the past week the screen is the real star of this phone. battery is incredible but we can thank sd 435 soc for that.

The phone is beautiful, the gloss back and it's design is wonderful. The only 3 downsides of this phone is that it has a pretty weak CPU considering it is not that cheap of a device.
The sencond thing: the speaker is placed like in the K10, and the third downside is....that I can't play PUBG properly...yup
But the device itself is really wonderful. I just can't wait for the devs to find a way on how to unlock the bootloader and then we can make some progress in this bit...
I guess they don't wanna void everyone's warranties for now.

Try this to make PUBG (or other game) little bit smooth to play on this phone.
Open settings -> battery & power saving -> select game battery saver -> select custom -> configure PUBG to normal resolution or low resolution.
I hope this steps will help to solve the problem

 

[blanxlr]

I like the way the phone looks, thats why i bought it (previous phone was a g2). But man no custom rom support, cuz bootloader is (still) locked??? If i knew this in advance, i would heave chosen the p20, smart (Huawei) or g5+ (motorola).

I also forgot to add...
The ROM update that LG stated it would come in May, in the end, the update will probably launch on November, latest in early 2019.
Quite an embarassing point with LG, I know. They deliver the phone without that much updates, thinking they are pretty confident with themselves that the phone is very optimized, but in the end, they have added so much bloatware to the ROM that you can't actually breath with it!
Also, the method of unlocking bootloader isn't even found yet, nor will it be revealed for the next 2 years! ( unless it is revealed by our great devs at XDA )
So no deeper thinking for devs yet!
Overall, the phone is stunning by it's design, the impressive display that some times has problems with sharpening the *CRISPY* details leading to oversharpening the image.
Also, it's processor isn't that impressive for it's price after all, Snapdragon 435 isn't that enough. And 300-400 dollars price point?! Nah, nobody would even think about buying it unless because of it's design... <3<3<3 ( well, the price has lowered where it should be, LG has always some crazy prices when released)
The GBs of RAM are enough, but I think the CPU is helping with the bottlenecking in certain tasks, for example when applying the 16:9 resolution to a game/application that uses all the power, which for this phone isn't enough than for watching some HQ videos and so on.
But we love it! We sure do! ( I think? )

Is it an official statement or just your assumption?
