Too samsung/iphone look alike
Got the black one, looks great but I am not sure it will stay that way. I am extra carefull with my phones and this one has two where the bezel meets the back of the phone. Wished I could get the silver/black color combo but it wasn't available in my country.

I wholeheartedly disagree with this comment. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and that's all I'll say about entitlement. That said, I truly see an hTC device when I look at the 10. While it doesn't carry some of the design elements present in previous iterations of their devices, even just glancing at this phone I see hTC. Sure, from the front many people may see the all glass front and rectang-ovular home key and think Samsung or, in my opinion far from iPhone looking design. But when you see the front facing camera and the long/wide earpiece it tells a different story. Then you get to the sides, top, bottom and chamfered and sharp edges of the back you know it isn't apple or sammy.
I actually really like the design of the 10 in that it is a solid/rigid design and feel sturdy and has unique elements that speak to hTCs design language, and I appreciate what they've put into it.
Iphone is distinct with the round home button ... but if you put in real life, on the same table, a white S6/S7 and a white HTC 10, both face up, for an untrained eye will be hard to say which one is which from few meters away and they will most likely be idendified as being both Samsungs. This mean HTC lost its identity. When I had the M7 it was obvious what phone it is from any angle, in any colour. Not anymore. The HTC design personality is heavily diminished in the 10.

LG V10
I previously had note 3 and galaxy nexus and this phone is such a great looking phone with stainless steel on the sides and secondary screen on the top. I love how short the top empty space is (the area on the top) and also the bottom portion. Also, the back of the phone (removable back) gives a premium feel along with a huge circle for the camera.
I've had Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 6, LG G4, Motorola Atrix HD, and Sony Z3 all within a year's use. The N4 and AHD were nice. The N6 feels great in the hand well balanced, G4 much the same. But the Sony Z3 stood out as clean and sleek.
The v10 a cross between the N6 G4 that almost meets the Sony in its clean sleek design. Altho the ss is nice looking bling. I would have preferred Teflon or the same materials used on the Sony sides, much like the v10 back, too and lower bezel material. It can take drops dings and bangs much more IMO.
IMO, the LG V10 reminds me of Blackberry devices - they look business/professional friendly and don't scream "hey, im a teenager and my mommy bought this phone for me!"
The V10 has the look of being "professional". The stainless steel sides add a bit of variation but since most of it has the brushed effect, it is not too shiny so it makes the phone have a subtle look. The V10 is like the badass of the room. It doesnt need to be loud cuz it knows it can kick your ass.
hands down best mix of aesthetics and practicality in a smartphone ever
Forgot to mention, has anyone with an LG G4 noticed the effect/illusion of the screen having a belly or curved upwards concave instead of downward convex? It's messing with my mind and eyes.
It's not like there's a lot of options for the look of a phone, it's more-or-less a cookie-cutter rectangular design as that's the format that works. It the the textured back of the phone that I like the most.
Front and back look nice and clean. The sides suggest a tough build. Looks more premium than many other phones out there.
Please, no "that's what she said" jokes. Rate this thread to express how you think the LG V10 feels in-hand. A higher rating indicates that it's comfortable to hold for long periods of time, even in one hand. Resist the urge to say "TWSS" just now. Seriously.

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.

With me, Sony's design is the best.
BEST DESIGN EVER! very premium feel and quality
Looks very nice in gold

i have the gold one, love the way handset looks/feels
Z3+(z4) is a bit more sleek though, thinner, shinier.
Green one is fantastic
got the black one so so so sexy and beautiful, it feels so premium
I think its a beautiful phone, the 'candybar' design does look rather attractive
Yes, I feel it's much improved from the Z3 Compact even, esp the speaker design and frosted back. The entire phone feels more matte to me, and the speakers on the front are almost invisible the way they are just slits at the top and bottom, great for using glass screen protectors. Feels good in the hand and is significantly faster than my Z3c
I have graphite black and phone is nice looking and premium build.
In he's class is maybe best buy on the market.
Sent from my D6503
i dont know what to say but sony phones have the greatest design ever, with their unique "square" design. i like it.
Just buy a Chrome Z5 Premium and he is gorgeous ! I had the gold one before he was great too
Bezels are too big, and while the buttons look nice, they are not placed in the best position.
Coming from an S6, this the best looking device i have ever used,Sony did an awesome job.

Above Average
*2018 Bezel less like approach with a bad Chin
*Metal like Body( it's not metal)
* Sturdy look
IMHO it looks really good for that price.
- Never thought that I'll have a full-screen experience until I'll buy at least a mid-range priced phone. Ultrabudget device? Woah.
- The body feels solid. Back plate is metal and the edges are plastic, including the antenna parts.
- I love the screen. 720p resolution doesn't really bother until you look really closely, and that works fine for me. The IPS matrix is better than on previous models. You can see that black colours are darker and less blue-ish. Max brightness does great on a sunny day.
- The camera/led/fp sensor part is really good. It looks better than on RN4X, it looks more mid-range than ultrabudget. My device is black btw.
The only thing that I don't like is the side bezels, but I guess it's ok for a 120$ device. Top/bottom bezels are nice
It's slim

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
