What has been this week’s biggest tech takeaway for you? Let us know in the comments section below, and have a great weekend!
Just waiting for a camera review. I don’t expect it to beat the GS6 or the G4 but I expect it to get close enough. Hoping anyway. Honestly, that’s the main reason I’m looking to upgrade my G2. I want to have manual camera controls. It’s really hard to justify replacing the G2. The battery life and camera are probably better than most phones on the market, the screen is 5.2″ 1080p, it has IR blaster, almost no bezels, a lot of XDA development.. I just want to upgrade the camera to a G4 level really..
Why won’t it beat the GS6 or G4?
Yeah especially the g4, It has become soo cheap in Italy it costs only 250€, just mind blowing

… Ok
no 60/120/240 fps, just it. you dont understand the shame sd820 useless with mi5. just make faster primitive functions
You just don’t understand that fps for video recording doesn’t matter for everyone.
you care yes !
lg g4 $260
Price has absolutely nothing to do with the camera.
Well, so far the samples are not promising.. Too much noise. Then again, I’ll wait for an in depth review as few samples are not enough to make a judgement.
Buy a dslr and keep the g2, it’s a little masterpiece even today 😀
Yep, and with root you can actually record 4K at 30fps on the G2.
+1
again well done on the phone features, you guys really did well
Thanks glad you like it
