LG G6 vs OnePlus 5

Samurai12

I have saved up some money and was looking into buying a new phone to last me for the next 12-18 months, maybe more. There have been a lot of rumours about the OnePlus 5 and the rumours and leaks look good but the price is apparently going to be around €500. This seems to be quite high for a OnePlus phone but is understandable with regards to the rumoured features that the phone will have.
But lately I have been seeing websites like this: https://www.eglobalcentral.eu/lg-g6-h870ds-64gb-dual-sim-sim-free-unlocked-white.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwl9DIBRCG_e3DwsKsizsSJADMmJ11OPFG47Lbe7iXabaQc7B0rKNsLO0Kv61c7hTZ1KZsahoCSFHw_wcB

That have been selling the LG G6 for around €520-€550.
Would people advice going for the G6 or waiting to see what the OnePlus is like.

Its hard to advise as we don't know the exact specs of the OP5. You're better off holding tight and waiting until OP officially release the spec sheet.

The LG G6 is available on Amazon.it for approx. 600 EUR. While it's more expensive then eglobalcentral, I would recommend the price premium for customer service/warranty purposes. I have yet to see any retailer beat amazon for customer service.

Why don't you buy the LG now and just sell it in a few months when the OP5 is released. I would presume the OP5 will be difficult to get when released.

Looks like I'll be getting the LG G6 afterall. It's only about €30 more expensive. I'd be happy to sacrifice 6GB Ram, 64GB storage and Snapdragon 835 for better design, seemingly better camera, better display, water resistance and an SD card slot.

As I mentioned in the OP5 thread, with the release of the G6 plus on the 27 Jun, I would expect the price to fall lower again. Best price at the moment for the G6 is ~400 from eglobal. It was ~600 about 5 weeks ago.

Torn between the OP5 and G6 myself.

TBH I care more about the camera than I do the higher hardware specs on the OP5, and having OIS and the wide angle seems more beneficial than the higher megapx or the telephoto on the OP5.

Decisions, decisions...
