benny888 can give you thought on Nexus 6P and LG V10.
*
I am only getting my Xperia Z5 Premium next week - so no comments yet on this phone

Between the Nexus 6P and LG V10 - my choice is LG V10
Different users has different needs . So to decide which phone is "better" will solely depend on which phone features are important
I had never believe in any phone being the best
Simple summary between Nexus 6P and LG V10 - hope this will help forumer fruitie in her decision

Nexus 6P : Good for its fast firmware updates, very smooth phone, lots of roms flashability. Has best camera of all Nexus I had ever used ( except Nexus 5 which I had no experience at all). The camera can stand proudly amongst the Note 5, LG G4, V10 though personally I rate its camera still poorer vs them. Some people like its display ( Amoled) though it doesn't appeal to me as I had never like Amoled all this while. Phone performance and multi tasking is good though not excellent. USB OTG on this phone is slight tricky - it could easily detect both thumb drivs ( 64GB) and Sandisk dual thumb drives ( 64GB) BUT ES File explorer app, solid explorer app can only read the thumb drives BUT not the SD dual thumb drives. I needed to install a paid app USB OTG File explorer app to do this to be able to manage files between the SD dual thumb drives and the phone

LG V10 : Inits default UI, its smoothness loses to the Nexus 6P. But with Nova UI installed it can now easily match N6P.
Performance can easily match N6P even though it is a lower 808 chipset. USB OTG works flawlessly out of the box. The camera is obviously much superior vs N6P. Performance is quite similar to N6P. However I had faced a strange issue with MX Player Pro on the N6P - it always takes 5-6 sec to display the full list of my 20 GB video collection while it is close to instant on my LG V10 ( same set of files on ext SDCard)
The other advantages of the lG V10 are its removable battery cum ext sdcard support. Some users claim the secondary display as unique but I don't like it all and just a gimmick to me
Build quality I prefer the LG V10 as it is more masculine vs the more feminine N6P !! Design wise the N6P wins !
Battery wise ( based solely on 80% internet based usage with no gaming) : the N6P I could easily get 5-6 hours SOT vs 4-5 hours SOT on the LG V10. I had never bother to use any apps to tweak to assist battery usage. DOZE works fantastically well on the N6P with battery hardly drain even with phone standby on over several hours !!

Anyone already use both LG g4 and OnePlus 2?
Want to know the camera performance on 2. Is it on par with G4?
*
OP2 camera is way way below G4 in every aspect. It is totally unfair to compare them. Just check web reviews n you will know. I had used both . G4 if I score it a 9 the OP2 will score barely a. 5 !!

Wow.
I read some of the reviews which they show the quality of the 2 really good which can compete with the G4. But I'm quite skeptical about it. Haha

Thank you.

One Plus One camera is better than OP2 anytime

wow.
thanks for head up ben.

btw is LG g4 a good choice over other similar highend phone rite now?
u think g4 worth how much in market rite now with its spec n etc

I would say the G4 is still one of the best high end phones in the rm2k range. The only weakness is its average battery life of 4-5 hours SOT on mainly internet based stuffs. However one can always use a spare battery if required.
