I received the phone a few days ago. I really enjoy it. My only issue was that the phone wasn't activating with my son. I have MetroPCS, and they kept giving me an error (Data/Call services blocked). After some digging I found someone online who had a similar issue with a different carrier and by resetting network settings on the phone, it was able to activate correctly.
Battery is better than the G3. Worse than the Aristo, but that's also a low-end phone that doesn't do much more than the basics.
I find the pullout battery interesting. The frame of the phone is a bit sturdier for it. And a pin or paperclip is needed to access the SIM/sd cards.
Tried one of my big games on it, and it ran beautifully.
The front-facing camera is AMAZING! I'm not one to take a lot of selfies, nor do I like how I look in them. I only really take selfies to have records of changes in my hair style length. I took one yesterday to test it and it took one heck of a picture. Rear-facing did about the same as other cameras, but perhaps a bit more focused.
All in all, it is a great phone.

Love the phone and the quality photos
Love the phone. Yes the phone is the previous generation but only a year from launch. I like to buy flagship phones when the new model is just coming out as this saves hundreds of dollars. This is my second G series phone (I have the G3 which still works fine).Quality of build is fantastic as it should for a flagship phone. Feels great in the hand and isn't too big (but close). Button placement is good but I liked the all on the back that this abandoned though the only thing moved is the volume buttons. Another plus is the user replaceable battery. The phone upgraded to the latest Android OS within the first day. LG is pretty good about that. The added interface by LG is minimalistic and not intrusive but would have liked to be able to uninstall some of the unused programs. As is you just have to disable them.The phone sounds GREAT both in receiving and quality of voice on the other end. Reception strength is excellent too even in marginal areas. For those who use the music player it is excellent sounding as well (in earbuds). The internal speaker volume is marginal (they all are) and could be louder for hands free voice.While I didn't think I would use it I love the fingerprint scanner. If you lose the phone no one can easily access sensitive data.The cameras are great and there are three of them. On the back is two laser auto focused cameras one standard 15Mp and one wide angle 8Mp. LG has done a huge job of improvement here over the older G3 that I have. The internal flash works with both cameras. Both are sharp with great colors. The front camera is now 8Mp and has really good quality as well. All can do 4k video.Now for the accessories available. I bought the camera control attachment and I find that while it works nicely it adds too much bulk. However, for those times when you plan to use the camera it does add a ease of use that other phones don't have. I have used it often (mostly because I have it) but prefer the phone without the bulk for daily use. There is also a high rez audio module available but honestly the "stock" sound system is great.Now with the heavy discounts because this is last years model it is a steal.
