I prefer LG design, having buttons on the back. That being said, the power button is harder to find IMO then on the G4, previous sets, because it's flat for finger prints.
Good Hand Feel
I moved on from my Nexus 6. IMHO, the V10 has batter hand feel. It's very sturdy and feels more comfortable in the hand. It's a very balanced unit.

How are differences in the screen department?
This is my first LG phone so it's taken some time to get used to the power button placement, but I prefer it now on the larger phone not having to reach across to the opposite side. I use mine without a case and love the feel of the rubber back and metal side rails. Definitely the most solid phone I've ever had.
power button has been the biggest annoyance, but all feels good. I previously had the G3 and G4

I have noticed two differences. First, the amoled panel on the N6 creates a more saturated appearance while the v10 appears more natural. There is perhaps the slightest "lean" towards blue. I believe I saw somewhere the the color (Kelvin) is well north of 5000, which supports this notion. That said, to me it's hardly noticeable. THe second is the brightness. I kept the N6 at about 33% percent brightness and I keep the v10 at 45% brightness to achieve the same appearance. Again, this is a minor issue, except for the battery impact. I'm on my third charge cycle, and after 36 hours of run time on this charge and nearly 3 hours of talk time and 2 hours of screen on time, I'm at 8 %. The N6 was a bit better, but the battery was 15% larger. Overall, I think the phone is excellent. It feels great in the hand and I'm getting used to the back buttons quickly.
I have large hands, so overall a 4/5 from me. The button placement is great, but I'm still getting used to LG functionality (button locations, knock codes, etc). The size of the phone deters some functions such as knocking, but it's really the weight that causes it to lose a star from me. The power button feel is also a bit annoying--makes it hard to find between the volume buttons just due to texture. Not a huge deal, and this is my first phone larger than an SGS4 so my opinion will likely change over time.

IMO The v10 visibility is brighter and clearer than the G4, even though the G4 is really clear already. The N6 amoled is still neat, contrasty colors (but not real) and bigger screen wise.. I still like the N6 screen size, as it's wider not taller, but I think I can finally sell it, as I've essentially turned it off since getting the v10. Haven't used my G4 since either.
Note. I keep my phones in my left front pocket solo. It fits very well. No bending pressure felt when walking or going up down steps. Not heavy, can't feel it bulge, slides in and out super easy without feeling like it's gonna slip out. It doesn't flip horizontally or diagonally, stays vertical, other designs do flip and I have to readjust so not to snap it.
it's my first phone with controls on the back side and after a day or two - it's perfect! My fingers naturally fall about where the On/Off and Volume buttons are and it feels natural. A great design for a positive user experience.
I like this phone. But this is my large phone. I find the phone a little slippery. Mainly the metal bars makes it slippery. especially when taking photos. any suggestions?
Weight: you start to feel the weight of the phone after using it for a longer period. But it also adds a premium feel to it.
Ergonomics: First phone which I don't accidentally push the power or volume buttons, because they are all on the back.
Fingerprint scanner: snappy, and reliable.

Hey.
Wanted to ask does this phone feel solid when you hold it (like iphone 4) or plastic (like samsung vibrant)?
Please let me know.
Thanks.
It feels pretty solid to me, not like the Galaxy S or vibrant.
Defo feels solid. Good weight to it. Also liking the raised out camera lense. When holding in you hand upright my finger just sits under it meaning you don't feel it will slip out
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Sold my Galaxy S for that reason.
2X is more like a HTC device than a piece of plastic (Samsung)
Its very solid, I like it.
It has a very nice feel, i think it has a nicer feel then Iphone4, when i hold an I4 i have the feeling that it is about to slip/jump out of my hand (maybe cuz i know it's made of glass, and my brother already has broken 2 of them by shatterig the glass?)
The O2X feels like it is made from quality materials, and has just the right weight to, not feel heavy, but just plain nice
..........just for the record, i'm not much of an [fruty-phone] kind'a guy, so me comparing it to an Iphone might not be fair to the Iphone......
The O2X has kind'a round edges compared to the I4.......i like that difference!
Go to a shop and try holding it in your hand, then you'l know if you like it.....
Exactly,
I knew I wanted this phone because of it's hardware.. didn't even look at it when I picked up the box at the T-Mo store..
But over the last 4 weeks I have grown very very fond of the phone. It feels very good when holding it, the screen is large, but doesn't feel like it.
I have actually turned off the touchscreen button backlight completely. During the day you can still see the imprint of it behind the glass, and at night.. well.. you tend to get to know the layout by heart.
I would recommend this phone to anyone.
I really like the feeling of the phone. Have it for a couple of days now and I came from an HTC Diamond 2. It has a nice grip cause of the soft plastic back (I had a custom mat backcover on my Diamond 2 too). It does not slide away in the car when on the passengers seat ;-).
The phone is not to heavy and not to light. It does not feel like a toy. Everything's had a nice build quality and feels solid. The sides have a metal feel to it (because it is metal ... ;-).
The screen en glass feels like high quality too. The rounded curves give it a nice feeling when touching it (no, not that kind of feeling ;-P
I recommend this phone too!
My only comment is that it's about 10 grams too heavy and about 8 mm too long.
Other than that it feel great.
I actually like the length. I have long fingers, so I don't have to "hook" my pointer (R) finger too much to unlock like I had to with the Galaxy S Vibrant.
Weight is really nice. Solid build materials, especially the glass (Gorilla Glass) and the curves. Sexiness.

Does it withstand reboot?
Feels great in the hand, soft touch plastic on the back is better than it sounds
Also like the curved edges of display, feels quite premium
good to hear, as I didnt like the samsung vibrant plastic feel even though it was a great phone
Share your thoughts/tipsand tricks on how you use this beast on a daily. Being almost 6 inches in screen size, this thing isn't what I would call the most pocket able or friendly on a daily basis.
im 5'7", average size. have average sized hands. id never ever say that the phones too big. sure, it sounds big, but isnt. after several days of using it, my nexus 5 feels way to small now.

Hear hear @simms22, 2-3 days is enough for your hands and brain to get used to it
On the other end of the spectrum, I'm 6'8" and the phone looks like an iPhone 5 in my gigantic paws. However, I do use my little finger as a rest, under the phone while using it one-handed. I have no issues reaching any parts of the screen but the pinky finger underneath adds some stability.

To be fair, anything above 5,2 inch is almost juggling when trying to use it one handed unless you have Micheal Jordan hand size
Easy transition and has a comfortable feel. Most other device's now feel too small!
I'm 5'2 and have tiny hands, it took me about a day to get used to the size. I seriously forget the size of the phone until I put it in my pocket, that I cannot get used to for whatever reason. Also when I'm in the car and forget it doesn't fit in my cup holder lol The one handed part I don't really have issues unless whatever I'm trying to press is at the very top right part of the screen but I manage.
Using it one handed isn't an issue for me. I'm 6'7" and I wear XXL sized gloves. But it did take me a couple days to adjust to the new feel compared to my G3.
However, be careful when the phone is in your pocket and you're wearing shorts (especially athletic shorts) and your are sitting down. I've owned the phone for less than 3 weeks and it's already slid out of my pocket and hit the ground on multiple occasions (no damage fortunately).
I came from Note 4 and nexus 6 feels much better in the hand. I find my self sticking the phone in my jeans back pocket a lot and it works perfect. I even sat on it numerous times and this monster of a phone doesn't even care lol
When I'm at work (no jeans) I got used to carrying the phone. Otherwise, front pocket works just as good.
Mine is always holstered to my pants pocket, else I carry it in my hand for quick needs.
In the car, my Subaru has a sliding cover over the cupholder section before the center armrest, and my phone sits on top of that nicely.
In the supermarket, I keep the shopping list in my phone, which is quick to detach from the holster with one hand, unlock via the pattern with my thumb and see what's next on the list for nearby aisles (then, place it back in the holster). Usually one hand operation while the other is holding a shopping bag - if I have a cart, might use two hands for added convenience. I'm 5'11.5"
As most others mentioned above, it doesn't feel huge after a couple of days or so - frankly, everything else looks teeny, now. I can't see going smaller than this in the future, it's become a perfect size for my range of needs with it.

Z5 isn't comfortable to hold as much, because OmniBalance design has a flat back panel and sharp edge.
but It's acceptable for me since this phone is a third xperia device I've ever owned.
The real problem is volume button. I don't know why they positioned it very close to camera button. make it difficult to press with one hand.
I find the Z5 compact very uncomfortable to hold. Slightly too big for my hands. Too thick and corners add to the problem. I think the device is gorgeous though. Z1 Compact is way more comfortable to hold.

+1 on that point. The volume button is ridiculously low compared to most phones. Makes it somewhat of a pain to use.
That said, overall the feel is quite nice. My only concern is the back, with no case on, it's fairly slippery and easy to lose your hold of.
looks good but:
-slippery, prone to drop
-edgy or quite sharp corners at the back of the phone
Feels nice to hold, but feels very slippery.
The volume button is sometimes a pain because its too low near the camera button.
Esp. because that i had z1, im used to pressed the volume button on the middle of the phone.
So its kinda weird now.
But i love the design, and i have the white z5, and i love it
Gesendet von meinem E6653 mit Tapatalk
It is not much ergonomic but design is fantastic
Looks amazing but super slippery
The volume buttons are that way because when you hold it horizontally, it is more comfortable. I don't agree fully with this decision, but I am pretty sure that is the reason.
also if the phone is in your pocket, its very easy to access the volume buttons
Ergonomics is great.I use Nillkin Scrub and feel nice in the hand and not too heavy in the pocket.
Sent from my Sony Xperia Z5
its a large phone dude! and no curves to set hands! its slippery also and above all! they don't ship it with BOOK CASE COVER (leather) in order to protect the device! I bought leather cover online in order to protect my investment!
The back glass isn't quite even with the metal frame, so you would feel the sharp edges of the frame when holding the phone. In other words, the metal frame is a hair thicker than the phone itself. You might not see that in the pictures but you'd certainly feel it. I'd say it's a design flaw but nothing you can't live with.

Mi Max 3 is heavier than Max 2 but it still feels lighter and more comfortable in the hand. I had wrist strain after using Max 2 a couple of hours. The reason I think is that Max 3 is thicker (8mm vs 7.5mm) so the density of the phone is actually lower.
Size (particularly width) is not much different than my old Nexus 6, so it doesn't feel bad in hand at all.
This is my fist Max device. It feels pretty damn huge. That said I'll probably adjust to it.

Yes it does
Coming from the Mi Max 1 and the Sony Xperia Z Ultra before that, I'm not sure I think this phone is an improvement in respect to ergonomics. I never use my phones with cases but am thinking about getting a thin one for this phone. My problem is this. I hold (and often use) the phone with one hand by putting my pinky under the bottom for support, holding the phone in portrait mode. The phone is fairly heavy and the edge of the USB-C port is sharp and cuts into my finger. If I move my finger to avoid holding it in the middle, where the port is, the tapered body is pointy enough to also cause discomfort. I've got fairly large man hands, which is why I bought the largest phone possible but it's not great for using one handed. The Sony Z Ultra and Mi Max 1 had a flatter bottom, no sharp edge and the screen was 16:9 which made it easier to drive one handed. I appreciate a large 16:9 screen but I don't see the advantage of the 18:9, and am reconsidering my decision in this phone.

Yes, but for me the fingerprint sensor could be on the same height like the power button.
In my opinion as far as size/dimensions of the phone go, it's big but you can get used to it, but consider getting some sort of extra cover for it, as the texture of the material is rather smooth, it may slip out of hand especially if your hands get sweaty easily, like in summer for example.
-Cheers
Like the Max 2 you need a case with this phone... the size/weight/metal body will just irritate your fingers if you don't. I go with gel cases and instantly the phone feels comfortable and easy to hang on to.
It feels good without cover.
i think its just balanced by makers carefully to feel good as it is..
after adding a typical back cover, it feels heavier and unreasonable

Its good, but wish they would have had a smaller note 20 with about a 6.5" display that had the same exact form factor, same design, same features, with only a smaller battery and smaller display. I would have bought it instead. This phone is a bit too big sometimes.
Big problem, the camera bump. Clearly it's going to be ending up scratching the lens. I purchase a case about that let's see when I will receive it.
That makes the phone not straight, with a big bulge, unstable.
Also, the phone is somehow slippery, I already made it fall like 5 times. Rarely happened in years with the other phone. It seems that the weight is not balance also, probably due to the bulge. I am hoping the case will provide more grip.
Without a case the bump is a real problem and the phone is too slippery. My 1TB S10+ bit the dust when I was briefly using it without a case and it slipped from my hand. My Note 3 suffered a cracked screen when, once again, it was temporarily without case and fell 50cm from my lap to the ground.
Now I always use a case unless I am feeling particularly stupid. The clear TPU case that came with the phone greatly increases grip, adds some protection at least and somewhat reduces the offensiveness of the camera bump.
No issues with camera bumb since clear view case, but the corners are too sharp for the jeans pockets...
I may have to give up the best phone I've ever had because it's simply too heavy. It pains my hand to hold it all day because of course it has replaced my laptop and everything else over the years, even my tv. But it sucks to hold this thing and I'm dreading switching now that I've customized the stuffings out of it over the months.
Too lopsided , too big. Note 10 Plus was a much better feel in my opinion.

I've done the same as you with the 10+
The SD card serves as the data drive; my favorite way to setup a PC. Lol, I keep my laptop isolated from the internet.
As for managing the bulk...
Try the Zizo Bolt case. Very easy to hold; a lot of different ways to hold it including by it's kick out stand.
I've been using it on my 10+ for over a year. It makes the phone a lot more user friendly.
It has a real nice in hand feel nestled in its Caseology Parallax case with good, proportioned weight distribution.
Feels heavy. I use a case very VERY rarely and thr phone is bit heavy. Thr camera bump is bad when you use your phone flat on a table and you use tour pen... Very bad when you use phone pen like that.
Except those thr pgone feels very premium in the hand, no othet phone feels soo good in the hand.i love it, but the above mentioned sometimes make it a hard relationship hahah
