    Curious which to get? I love my LG G2 that I've had for four years, but time to upgrade. I am considering LG V10 and Samsung S7 Edge. I'm heavily leaning towards the V10 because my G2 has been trusty and durable and lasted me this long, it has 64GB built in storage, a great camera, fingerprint scanner, and removable battery, which is also supposed to be decent capacity.

    I have Verizon.

    Thoughts?

    LG V10 hasn't got the best reviews or camera if I remember correctly.

    Please buy a Samsung S7 edge.

    I bought a Galaxy Note 7 64GB in Black Onyx color 2 days ago and I love it

    best advice : go to the shop and touch both of them - you will understand what you really want.
    as a LG G3 owner i will definitely recommend LG again.. may be G5?

    LG phones are crap lately. As much as I despise Samsung, if you're between those two, I'd get the Samsung.

    The LG V10's camera is actually the same camera from the G4, which is one of the best overall smartphone cameras of all the time. And this information is coming from a guy that had nothing but Samsung Note phones for the past 5 or so years.

    I have had the LG V10 since launch and I have had no issues. The camera is pretty good and I like the secondary display. The LG V20 will be released soon so you might want to wait on that.

    I was in a similar position last month and I went with the Edge. I was leaning towards the V10 but, talking to a few people about it, I've heard a lot of bad things. Apparently, a lot of users have had the screens yellow over time. Originally this was thought to be software-related but it turns out it's a hardware problem. Also, there's a bootloop problem as well as the second screen glitching. In comparison, there hasn't been that many issues with the Edge.

    If you need to buy now, go with the Edge. Otherwise, wait until the V20/Nexus devices come out and go in-store to try everything out.
