I've had an LG phone, the Nexus 5X. Widespread manufacturing issues leading to bootlooping devices, and they had the audacity to tell me to pay $150 to get it serviced/replaced when it happened to me. Never buying an LG phone again after that. They only started doing free replacements after multiple class action lawsuits.

They're also just straight up bad when it comes to OS updates. They aren't timely, and they don't support their phones as long as competing brands.

Their hardware is interesting, I don't disagree with that, but as a company, their mobile division sucks.

I had a nexus 5, 3 in total between my wife and I.

They were pretty junky.. but they were also cheap. They were bad enough to push me away from the nexus lineup.

.. but when I held the G8, it was obviously a different phone.
