I'd love to have this device. As a dude with average sized phalanges, I've always wanted a phone with a massive screen, but struggle to comfortably use larger devices, forcing me to usually settle with the "non-plus" model devices tend to come in, sacrificing features and specs. This phone is the best of both worlds for me.
If only I was not broke.

The only biff I have with this product is the fact that the front facing camera is only 5mp.
@tristanisham a big boot in my opinion. I've listen to Vergecast last friday and they call the opposite trend. Selfie focus smartphones. A front camera cannot be selfie focus on a 5 mp, even if it's powered by the best AI (what HTC tried lasts years, if I have good memory?) But I agree, let's wait and see.

@emmanuel_b_lepage I'm a big fan of The Vergecast, though I didn't listen to last weeks episode. I don't really use front cameras for selfie's but I'm worried about users of apps like Snapchat, where the quality of image on android is already so reduced due to the nature of how the app captures images.
Hopefully it'll all work out.
I'm currently in a committed relationship with my Pixel XL, but this is really tempting. It sounds like this checks a lot of boxes for me; water/dust resistant, USB C, thin bezels, fingerprint sensor... If my Pixel breaks, I'd consider this phone. LG does good work. I owned the LG G3 and G4, and loved them both.

@dan_o_mite I really appreciate your comment because I've had a bad history of grabbing the wrong Android devices. I'd love to get a pixel, but since this one comes with water protection, and more screen, and isn't completely out of stock, this is my primary option.
Thanks so much! This gives me a lot more confidence on any purchases that I might make.
It's looking great. A lot like HTC or the Google Pixel. It get the Google Assistant so I'm curious. No information if it will play well with Google Daydream View. For me, VR it's the big deal.

@emmanuel_b_lepage I've yet to see any kind of information on Daydream, or on any other VR functionality (http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-acce...). I think it'd be a fantastic device for it, and the specs are most certainly there!
Looks amazing, loved the wide angle mode :) Something I always wanted on a phone , guess this year is going to be the year of bezel-less phones, great times to be in.
Look how much more you can achieve without the constraints of modularity LG! I always thought "the other Korean brand" can achieve so much more than Samsung. Just look at their display tech a la their Super slim transparent TV. Also, the weird thing about this phone though: gorilla glass 3 as the main screen while gorilla 4 and 5 on the back.... that's like 4 year old tech as the main screen. Wondering why.
